This PR pins playwright to the latest release 1.60.0.

Changelog

1.60.0

🐍 Python improvements

- New [FormData](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-formdata) class for building multipart/form-data request bodies — pass to [api_request_context.post(form=…)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext#api-request-context-post) etc.
- [expect.soft(...)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/test-assertions#soft-assertions) soft assertions collect multiple failures in a test instead of stopping at the first one. Requires up-to-date pytest integration to work.
- All `timeout` parameters now accept `datetime.timedelta` — applies wherever a timeout is taken, e.g. [page.goto()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-goto), [locator.click()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-click), [expect(...).to_be_visible()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-be-visible).
- Async context manager support across more APIs — `async with` now works for objects returned from [screencast.show_actions()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-actions), [screencast.show_overlays()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-overlays), etc.
- [page.expect_request(...)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-request) and [page.expect_response(...)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-response) now accept async predicates.
- Typed overloads for [expect_event](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-event) / [wait_for_event](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-event-2) so the event payload type is inferred per event name.


🌐 HAR recording on Tracing

[tracing.start_har()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-start-har) / [tracing.stop_har()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-stop-har) expose HAR recording as a first-class tracing API, with the same `content`, `mode` and `url_filter` options as `record_har`:

python
context.tracing.start_har(&quot;trace.har&quot;)
page = context.new_page()
page.goto(&quot;https://playwright.dev&quot;)
context.tracing.stop_har()


🪝 Drop API

New [locator.drop()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-drop) simulates an external drag-and-drop of files or clipboard-like data onto an element. Playwright dispatches `dragenter`, `dragover`, and `drop` with a synthetic `DataTransfer` in the page context — works cross-browser and is great for testing upload zones:

python
page.locator(&quot;dropzone&quot;).drop(
 files={&quot;name&quot;: &quot;note.txt&quot;, &quot;mime_type&quot;: &quot;text/plain&quot;, &quot;buffer&quot;: b&quot;hello&quot;},
)

page.locator(&quot;dropzone&quot;).drop(
 data={
     &quot;text/plain&quot;: &quot;hello world&quot;,
     &quot;text/uri-list&quot;: &quot;https://example.com&quot;,
 },
)


🎯 Aria snapshots
- [expect(page).to_match_aria_snapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-pageassertions#page-assertions-to-match-aria-snapshot) now works on a [Page](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page), in addition to a [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator) — equivalent to asserting against `page.locator(&quot;body&quot;)`.
- New `boxes` option on [locator.aria_snapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-aria-snapshot) / [page.aria_snapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-aria-snapshot) appends each element&#x27;s bounding box as `[box=x,y,width,height]`, useful for AI consumption.

New APIs

Browser, Context and Page
- Event [browser.on(&quot;context&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-event-context) — fired when a new context is created on the browser.
- [BrowserContext](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext) now mirrors lifecycle events from its pages: [browser_context.on(&quot;download&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-download), [browser_context.on(&quot;frameattached&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-frame-attached), [browser_context.on(&quot;framedetached&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-frame-detached), [browser_context.on(&quot;framenavigated&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-frame-navigated), [browser_context.on(&quot;pageclose&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-page-close), [browser_context.on(&quot;pageload&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-event-page-load).

Locators and Assertions
- New option `description` in [page.get_by_role()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-role) / [locator.get_by_role()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-get-by-role) / [frame.get_by_role()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-frame#frame-get-by-role) / [frame_locator.get_by_role()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator#frame-locator-get-by-role) for matching the [accessible description](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#dfn-accessible-description).
- New option `pseudo` in [expect(locator).to_have_css()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-css) reads computed styles from `::before` or `::after`.
- New option `style` in [locator.highlight()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-highlight) applies extra inline CSS to the highlight overlay, plus new [page.hide_highlight()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-hide-highlight) to clear all highlights.

Network
- [web_socket_route.protocols()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-websocketroute#web-socket-route-protocols) returns the WebSocket subprotocols requested by the page.
- New option `no_defaults` in [browser_type.connect_over_cdp()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsertype#browser-type-connect-over-cdp) disables Playwright&#x27;s default overrides on the default context (download behavior, focus emulation, media emulation), so attaching to a user&#x27;s daily-driver browser doesn&#x27;t disturb its state.

Errors
- New [web_error.location()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-weberror#web-error-location) mirrors [console_message.location()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-consolemessage#console-message-location).
- [console_message.location()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-consolemessage#console-message-location) now exposes `line` / `column` properties (`line_number` / `column_number` are deprecated).

🛠️ Other improvements
- Trace Viewer adds a pretty-print toggle for JSON / form request and response bodies in the network details panel.

Breaking Changes ⚠️
- Removed long-deprecated `handle` option on `browser_context.expose_binding()` and `page.expose_binding()`.

Browser Versions
- Chromium 148.0.7778.96
- Mozilla Firefox 150.0.2
- WebKit 26.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:
- Google Chrome 147
- Microsoft Edge 147

1.59.1

Bug Fixes

- **[Windows]** Reverted hiding console window when spawning browser processes, which caused regressions including broken `codegen`, `--ui` and `show` commands ([39990](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/39990))

1.59.0

🎬 Screencast

New [page.screencast](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-screencast) API provides a unified interface for capturing page content with:
- Screencast recordings
- Action annotations
- Visual overlays
- Real-time frame capture
- Agentic video receipts

&lt;center&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/playwright/main/docs/src/images/release-notes-1.59-screencast-demo.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Demo&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;313&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;

**Screencast recording** — record video with precise start/stop control, as an alternative to the [`recordVideoDir`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-new-context-option-record-video-dir) option:

python
page.screencast.start(path=&quot;video.webm&quot;)
... perform actions ...
page.screencast.stop()


**Action annotations** — enable built-in visual annotations that highlight interacted elements and display action titles during recording:

python
page.screencast.show_actions(position=&quot;top-right&quot;)


[screencast.show_actions()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-actions) accepts `position` (`&#x27;top-left&#x27;`, `&#x27;top&#x27;`, `&#x27;top-right&#x27;`, `&#x27;bottom-left&#x27;`, `&#x27;bottom&#x27;`, `&#x27;bottom-right&#x27;`), `duration` (ms per annotation), and `font_size` (px). Returns a disposable to stop showing actions.

**Visual overlays** — add chapter titles and custom HTML overlays on top of the page for richer narration:

python
page.screencast.show_chapter(&quot;Adding TODOs&quot;,
 description=&quot;Type and press enter for each TODO&quot;,
 duration=1000,
)

page.screencast.show_overlay(&#x27;&lt;div style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;Recording&lt;/div&gt;&#x27;)


**Real-time frame capture** — stream JPEG-encoded frames for custom processing like thumbnails, live previews, AI vision, and more:

python
page.screencast.start(
 on_frame=lambda frame: send_to_vision_model(frame[&quot;data&quot;]),
)


**Agentic video receipts** — coding agents can produce video evidence of their work. After completing a task, an agent can record a walkthrough video with rich annotations for human review:

python
page.screencast.start(path=&quot;receipt.webm&quot;)
page.screencast.show_actions(position=&quot;top-right&quot;)

page.screencast.show_chapter(&quot;Verifying checkout flow&quot;,
 description=&quot;Added coupon code support per ticket 1234&quot;,
)

Agent performs the verification steps...
page.locator(&quot;coupon&quot;).fill(&quot;SAVE20&quot;)
page.locator(&quot;apply-coupon&quot;).click()
expect(page.locator(&quot;.discount&quot;)).to_contain_text(&quot;20%&quot;)

page.screencast.show_chapter(&quot;Done&quot;,
 description=&quot;Coupon applied, discount reflected in total&quot;,
)

page.screencast.stop()


The resulting video serves as a receipt: chapter titles provide context, action annotations highlight each interaction, and the visual walkthrough is faster to review than text logs.

🔍 Snapshots and Locators
- Method [page.aria_snapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-aria-snapshot) to capture the aria snapshot of the page — equivalent to `page.locator(&#x27;body&#x27;).aria_snapshot()`.
- Options `depth` and `mode` in [locator.aria_snapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-aria-snapshot).
- Method [locator.normalize()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-normalize) converts a locator to follow best practices like test ids and aria roles.
- Method [page.pick_locator()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-pick-locator) enters an interactive mode where hovering over elements highlights them and shows the corresponding locator. Click an element to get its [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator) back. Use [page.cancel_pick_locator()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-cancel-pick-locator) to cancel.

New APIs

- Methods [screencast.show_actions()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-actions) and [screencast.hide_actions()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-hide-actions) for action annotations.
- Methods [screencast.show_chapter()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-chapter) and [screencast.show_overlay()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-overlay) for visual overlays.
- Methods [screencast.show_overlays()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-show-overlays) and [screencast.hide_overlays()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-screencast#screencast-hide-overlays) for overlay visibility control.

Storage, Console and Errors
- Method [browser_context.set_storage_state()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-set-storage-state) clears existing cookies, local storage, and IndexedDB for all origins and sets a new storage state — no need to create a new context.
- Methods [page.clear_console_messages()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-clear-console-messages) and [page.clear_page_errors()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-clear-page-errors) to clear stored messages and errors.
- Option `filter` in [page.console_messages()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-console-messages) and [page.page_errors()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-page-errors) controls which messages are returned.
- Method [console_message.timestamp()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-consolemessage#console-message-timestamp).

Miscellaneous
- [browser_context.debugger](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-debugger) provides programmatic control over the Playwright debugger.
- Method [browser_context.is_closed()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-is-closed).
- Method [request.existing_response()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-request#request-existing-response) returns the response without waiting.
- Method [response.http_version()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-response#response-http-version) returns the HTTP version used by the response.
- Option `live` in [tracing.start()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-start) for real-time trace updates.
- Option `artifacts_dir` in [browser_type.launch()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsertype#browser-type-launch) to configure the artifacts directory.

🔗 Interoperability

New [browser.bind()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-bind) API makes a launched browser available for `playwright-cli`, `playwright/mcp`, and other clients to connect to.

**Bind a browser** — start a browser and bind it so others can connect:

python
server_info = await browser.bind(&quot;my-session&quot;,
 workspace_dir=&quot;/my/project&quot;,
)


**Connect from playwright-cli** — connect to the running browser from your favorite coding agent.

bash
playwright-cli attach my-session
playwright-cli -s my-session snapshot


**Connect from playwright/mcp** — or point your MCP server to the running browser.

bash
playwright/mcp --endpoint=my-session


**Connect from a Playwright client** — use API to connect to the browser. Multiple clients at a time are supported!

python
browser = await chromium.connect(server_info[&quot;endpoint&quot;])


Pass `host` and `port` options to bind over WebSocket instead of a named pipe:

python
server_info = await browser.bind(&quot;my-session&quot;,
 host=&quot;localhost&quot;,
 port=0,
)
server_info[&quot;endpoint&quot;] is a ws:// URL


Call [browser.unbind()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-unbind) to stop accepting new connections.

📊 Observability

Run `playwright-cli show` to open the Dashboard that lists all the bound browsers, their statuses, and allows interacting with them:
- See what your agent is doing on the background browsers
- Click into the sessions for manual interventions
- Open DevTools to inspect pages from the background browsers.

&lt;center&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/playwright/main/docs/src/images/release-notes-1.59-dashboard.png&quot; alt=&quot;Demo&quot; width=&quot;1169&quot; height=&quot;835&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;
- `playwright-cli` binds all of its browsers automatically, so you can see what your agents are doing.

1.57.0

Chrome for Testing

Starting with this release, Playwright switches from Chromium, to using [Chrome for Testing](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-for-testing/) builds. Both headed and headless browsers are subject to this. Your tests should still be passing after upgrading to Playwright 1.57.

We&#x27;re expecting no functional changes to come from this switch. The biggest change is the new icon and title in your toolbar.

&lt;img width=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;new and old logo&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e9a5c4f2-9f35-4c27-9382-0f5eda377097&quot; /&gt;

If you still see an unexpected behaviour change, please [file an issue](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/new).

On Arm64 Linux, Playwright continues to use Chromium.

Breaking Change

After 3 years of being deprecated, we removed `page.accessibility` from our API. Please use other libraries such as [Axe](https://www.deque.com/axe/) if you need to test page accessibility. See our Node.js [guide](https://playwright.dev/docs/accessibility-testing) for integration with Axe.

New APIs
- [worker.on(&quot;console&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-worker#worker-event-console) event is emitted when JavaScript within the worker calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir. [worker.expect_event()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-worker#worker-wait-for-event) can be used to wait for it.
- [locator.description()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-description) returns locator description previously set with [locator.describe()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-describe).
- New option [`steps`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-click-option-steps) in [locator.click()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-click) and [locator.drag_to()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-drag-to) that configures the number of `mousemove` events emitted while moving the mouse pointer to the target element.
- Network requests issued by [Service Workers](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/service-workers#network-events-and-routing) are now reported and can be routed through the [BrowserContext](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext), only in Chromium. You can opt out using the `PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_NETWORK` environment variable.
- Console messages from Service Workers are dispatched through [worker.on(&quot;console&quot;)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-worker#worker-event-console). You can opt out of this using the `PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_CONSOLE` environment variable.

Breaking Changes

- Method [route.continue()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-continue) does not allow to override the `Cookie` header anymore. If a `Cookie` header is provided, it will be ignored, and the cookie will be loaded from the browser&#x27;s cookie store. To set custom cookies, use [browserContext.add_cookies()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-add-cookies).
- macOS 13 is now deprecated and will no longer receive WebKit updates. Please upgrade to a more recent macOS version to continue benefiting from the latest WebKit improvements.

Highlights
* New option [`indexed_db`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-storage-state-option-indexed-db) for [browserContext.storage_state()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-storage-state) allows to save and restore IndexedDB contents. Useful when your application uses [IndexedDB API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API) to store authentication tokens, like Firebase Authentication.

Here is an example following the [authentication guide](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/auth#reusing-signed-in-state):

python
Save storage state into the file. Make sure to include IndexedDB.
storage = context.storage_state(path=&quot;state.json&quot;, indexed_db=True)

Create a new context with the saved storage state.
context = browser.new_context(storage_state=&quot;state.json&quot;)


* New option [`visible`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-filter-option-visible) for [locator.filter()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-filter) allows matching only visible elements.

python
Ignore invisible todo items.
todo_items = page.get_by_test_id(&quot;todo-item&quot;).filter(visible=True)
Check there are exactly 3 visible ones.
expect(todo_items).to_have_count(3)


* New option `contrast` for methods [page.emulate_media()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-emulate-media) and [browser.new_context()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-new-context) allows to emulate the `prefers-contrast` media feature.
* New option [`fail_on_status_code`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequest#api-request-new-context-option-fail-on-status-code) makes all fetch requests made through the [APIRequestContext](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext) throw on response codes other than 2xx and 3xx.

* [Playwright&#x27;s Pytest plugin](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/test-runners) now has support for [Async Fixtures](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/test-runners#async-fixtures).

Miscellaneous
* Added method [expect(locator).to_have_accessible_error_message()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-accessible-error-message) to assert the Locator points to an element with a given [aria errormessage](https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-errormessage).

UI updates
* New button in Codegen for picking elements to produce aria snapshots.
* Additional details (such as keys pressed) are now displayed alongside action API calls in traces.
* Display of `canvas` content in traces is error-prone. Display is now disabled by default, and can be enabled via the `Display canvas content` UI setting.
* `Call` and `Network` panels now display additional time information.

Breaking
* [expect(locator).to_be_editable()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-be-editable) and [locator.is_editable()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-is-editable) now throw if the target element is not `&lt;input&gt;`, `&lt;select&gt;`, or a number of other editable elements.

Aria snapshots

New assertion [expect(locator).toMatchAriaSnapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-match-aria-snapshot) verifies page structure by comparing to an expected accessibility tree, represented as YAML.

python
page.goto(&quot;https://playwright.dev&quot;)
expect(page.locator(&#x27;body&#x27;)).to_match_aria_snapshot(&#x27;&#x27;&#x27;
- banner:
 - heading /Playwright enables reliable/ [level=1]
 - link &quot;Get started&quot;
 - link &quot;Star microsoft/playwright on GitHub&quot;
- main:
 - img &quot;Browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)&quot;
 - heading &quot;Any browser • Any platform • One API&quot;
&#x27;&#x27;&#x27;)


You can generate this assertion with [Test Generator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/codegen) or by calling [locator.ariaSnapshot()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-aria-snapshot).

Learn more in the [aria snapshots guide](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/aria-snapshots).

Tracing groups

New method [tracing.group()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-group) allows you to visually group actions in the trace viewer.

python
All actions between group and group_end
will be shown in the trace viewer as a group.
page.context.tracing.group(&quot;Open Playwright.dev &gt; API&quot;)
page.goto(&quot;https://playwright.dev/&quot;)
page.get_by_role(&quot;link&quot;, name=&quot;API&quot;).click()
page.context.tracing.group_end()


Breaking: `chrome` and `msedge` channels switch to new headless mode

This change affects you if you&#x27;re using one of the following channels in your `playwright.config.ts`:
- `chrome`, `chrome-dev`, `chrome-beta`, or `chrome-canary`
- `msedge`, `msedge-dev`, `msedge-beta`, or `msedge-canary`

After updating to Playwright v1.49, run your test suite. If it still passes, you&#x27;re good to go. If not, you will probably need to update your snapshots, and adapt some of your test code around PDF viewers and extensions. See [issue 33566](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/33566) for more details.

Try new Chromium headless

You can opt into the new headless mode by using `&#x27;chromium&#x27;` channel. As [official Chrome documentation puts it](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-headless-shell):

&gt; New Headless on the other hand is the real Chrome browser, and is thus more authentic, reliable, and offers more features. This makes it more suitable for high-accuracy end-to-end web app testing or browser extension testing.

See [issue 33566](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/33566) for the list of possible breakages you could encounter and more details on Chromium headless. Please file an issue if you see any problems after opting in.

bash python
pytest test_login.py --browser-channel chromium


Miscellaneous

WebSocket routing

New methods [page.route_web_socket()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-route-web-socket) and [browser_context.route_web_socket()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-route-web-socket) allow to intercept, modify and mock WebSocket connections initiated in the page. Below is a simple example that mocks WebSocket communication by responding to a `&quot;request&quot;` with a `&quot;response&quot;`.

python
def message_handler(ws: WebSocketRoute, message: Union[str, bytes]):
if message == &quot;request&quot;:
 ws.send(&quot;response&quot;)

page.route_web_socket(&quot;/ws&quot;, lambda ws: ws.on_message(
 lambda message: message_handler(ws, message)
))


See [WebSocketRoute](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-websocketroute) for more details.

UI updates
- New &quot;copy&quot; buttons for annotations and test location in the HTML report.
- Route method calls like [route.fulfill()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-fulfill) are not shown in the report and trace viewer anymore. You can see which network requests were routed in the network tab instead.
- New &quot;Copy as cURL&quot; and &quot;Copy as fetch&quot; buttons for requests in the network tab.

Miscellaneous
- New method [page.request_gc()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-request-gc) may help detect memory leaks.
- Requests made by [APIRequestContext](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext) now record detailed timing and security information in the HAR.

TLS Client Certificates

Playwright now allows to supply client-side certificates, so that server can verify them, as specified by TLS Client Authentication.

You can provide client certificates as a parameter of [browser.new_context()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-new-context) and [api_request.new_context()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequest#api-request-new-context). The following snippet sets up a client certificate for `https://example.com`:

python
context = browser.new_context(
 client_certificates=[
     {
         &quot;origin&quot;: &quot;https://example.com&quot;,
         &quot;certPath&quot;: &quot;client-certificates/cert.pem&quot;,
         &quot;keyPath&quot;: &quot;client-certificates/key.pem&quot;,
     }
 ],
)


When using the [Pytest plugin](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/test-runners), it can be added like this:

python
pytest.fixture(scope=&quot;session&quot;)
def browser_context_args(browser_context_args):
 return {
     **browser_context_args,
     &quot;client_certificates&quot;: [
         {
             &quot;origin&quot;: &quot;https://example.com&quot;,
             &quot;certPath&quot;: &quot;client-certificates/cert.pem&quot;,
             &quot;keyPath&quot;: &quot;client-certificates/key.pem&quot;,
         }
     ],
 }


Trace Viewer Updates
- Content of text attachments is now rendered inline in the attachments pane.
- New setting to show/hide routing actions like [route.continue_()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-continue).
- Request method and status are shown in the network details tab.
- New button to copy source file location to clipboard.
- Metadata pane now displays the `base_url`.

Miscellaneous
- New `max_retries` option in [apiRequestContext.fetch()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext#api-request-context-fetch) which retries on the `ECONNRESET` network error.

Clock

Utilizing the new [Clock](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-clock) API allows to manipulate and control time within tests to verify time-related behavior. This API covers many common scenarios, including:
* testing with predefined time;
* keeping consistent time and timers;
* monitoring inactivity;
* ticking through time manually.

python
Initialize clock with some time before the test time and let the page load
naturally. `Date.now` will progress as the timers fire.
page.clock.install(time=datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 8, 0, 0))
page.goto(&quot;http://localhost:3333&quot;)

Pretend that the user closed the laptop lid and opened it again at 10am.
Pause the time once reached that point.
page.clock.pause_at(datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 10, 0, 0))

Assert the page state.
expect(page.get_by_test_id(&quot;current-time&quot;)).to_have_text(&quot;2/2/2024, 10:00:00 AM&quot;)

Close the laptop lid again and open it at 10:30am.
page.clock.fast_forward(&quot;30:00&quot;)
expect(page.get_by_test_id(&quot;current-time&quot;)).to_have_text(&quot;2/2/2024, 10:30:00 AM&quot;)


See [the clock guide](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/clock) for more details.

Miscellaneous
- Method [locator.setInputFiles()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-set-input-files) now supports uploading a directory for `&lt;input type=file webkitdirectory&gt;` elements.
python
page.get_by_label(&quot;Upload directory&quot;).set_input_files(&#x27;mydir&#x27;)

- Multiple methods like [locator.click()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-click) or [locator.press()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-press) now support a `ControlOrMeta` modifier key. This key maps to `Meta` on macOS and maps to `Control` on Windows and Linux.
python
Press the common keyboard shortcut Control+S or Meta+S to trigger a &quot;Save&quot; operation.
page.keyboard.press(&quot;ControlOrMeta+S&quot;)

- New property `httpCredentials.send` in [apiRequest.newContext()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequest#api-request-new-context) that allows to either always send the `Authorization` header or only send it in response to `401 Unauthorized`.
- Playwright now supports Chromium, Firefox and WebKit on Ubuntu 24.04.
- v1.45 is the last release to receive WebKit update for macOS 12 Monterey. Please update macOS to keep using the latest WebKit.

New APIs

**Accessibility assertions**
- [expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-accessible-name) checks if the element has the specified accessible name:

python
locator = page.get_by_role(&quot;button&quot;)
expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name(&quot;Submit&quot;)


- [expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-accessible-description) checks if the element has the specified accessible description:

python
locator = page.get_by_role(&quot;button&quot;)
expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description(&quot;Upload a photo&quot;)


- [expect(locator).to_have_role()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-role) checks if the element has the specified ARIA role:

python
locator = page.get_by_test_id(&quot;save-button&quot;)
expect(locator).to_have_role(&quot;button&quot;)


**Locator handler**
- After executing the handler added with [page.add_locator_handler()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-add-locator-handler), Playwright will now wait until the overlay that triggered the handler is not visible anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with the new `no_wait_after` option.
- You can use new `times` option in [page.add_locator_handler()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-add-locator-handler) to specify maximum number of times the handler should be run.
- The handler in [page.add_locator_handler()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-add-locator-handler) now accepts the locator as argument.
- New [page.remove_locator_handler()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-remove-locator-handler) method for removing previously added locator handlers.

python
locator = page.get_by_text(&quot;This interstitial covers the button&quot;)
page.add_locator_handler(locator, lambda overlay: overlay.locator(&quot;close&quot;).click(), times=3, no_wait_after=True)
Run your tests that can be interrupted by the overlay.
...
page.remove_locator_handler(locator)


**Miscellaneous options**
- [expect(page).to_have_url()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-pageassertions#page-assertions-to-have-url) now supports `ignore_case` [option](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-pageassertions#page-assertions-to-have-url-option-ignore-case).

New APIs
- Method [BrowserContext.clear_cookies([options])](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-clear-cookies) now supports filters to remove only some cookies.

python
Clear all cookies.
context.clear_cookies()
New: clear cookies with a particular name.
context.clear_cookies(name=&quot;session-id&quot;)
New: clear cookies for a particular domain.
context.clear_cookies(domain=&quot;my-origin.com&quot;)


- New method [locator.content_frame](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-content-frame) converts a {link Locator} object to a [FrameLocator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator). This can be useful when you have a [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator) object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the content inside the frame.

python
locator = page.locator(&quot;iframe[name=&#x27;embedded&#x27;]&quot;)
...
frame_locator = locator.content_frame
frame_locator.getByRole(&quot;button&quot;).click()


- New method [frameLocator.owner](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator#frame-locator-owner) converts a [FrameLocator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator) object to a [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator). This can be useful when you have a [FrameLocator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator) object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the `iframe` element.

python
frame_locator = page.frame_locator(&quot;iframe[name=&#x27;embedded&#x27;]&quot;)
...
locator = frame_locator.owner
expect(locator).to_be_visible()


- Conda builds are now published for macOS-arm64 and Linux-arm64.

New Locator Handler

New method [page.add_locator_handler(locator, handler)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-add-locator-handler) registers a callback that will be invoked when specified element becomes visible and may block Playwright actions. The callback can get rid of the overlay. Here is an example that closes a cookie dialog when it appears.

python
Setup the handler.
page.add_locator_handler(
 page.get_by_role(&quot;heading&quot;, name=&quot;Hej! You are in control of your cookies.&quot;),
 lambda: page.get_by_role(&quot;button&quot;, name=&quot;Accept all&quot;).click(),
)
Write the test as usual.
page.goto(&quot;https://www.ikea.com/&quot;)
page.get_by_role(&quot;link&quot;, name=&quot;Collection of blue and white&quot;).click()
expect(page.get_by_role(&quot;heading&quot;, name=&quot;Light and easy&quot;)).to_be_visible()


New APIs

Optionally allows to wait for ongoing routes to finish, or ignore any errors from them.
- New method [browserContext.unroute_all()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-unroute-all) removes all routes registered by [browserContext.route()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-route) and [browserContext.route_from_har()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-route-from-har).

Test Generator Update

![Playwright Test Generator](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/9881434/e8d67e2e-f36d-4301-8631-023948d3e190)

New tools to generate assertions:
- &quot;Assert visibility&quot; tool generates [expect(locator).to_be_visible()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-be-visible).
- &quot;Assert value&quot; tool generates [expect(locator).to_have_value(value)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-value).
- &quot;Assert text&quot; tool generates [expect(locator).to_contain_text(expected)](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-contain-text).

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

python
from playwright.sync_api import Page, expect

def test_example(page: Page) -&gt; None:
 page.goto(&quot;https://playwright.dev/&quot;)
 page.get_by_role(&quot;link&quot;, name=&quot;Get started&quot;).click()
 expect(page.get_by_label(&quot;Breadcrumbs&quot;).get_by_role(&quot;list&quot;)).to_contain_text(&quot;Installation&quot;)
 expect(page.get_by_label(&quot;Search&quot;)).to_be_visible()
 page.get_by_label(&quot;Search&quot;).click()
 page.get_by_placeholder(&quot;Search docs&quot;).fill(&quot;locator&quot;)
 expect(page.get_by_placeholder(&quot;Search docs&quot;)).to_have_value(&quot;locator&quot;);


New APIs
- Option `reason` in [page.close([options])](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-close), [browserContext.close([options])](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-close) and [browser.close([options])](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browser#browser-close). Close reason is reported for all operations interrupted by the closure.
- Option `firefox_user_prefs` in [browserType.launch_persistent_context(userDataDir[, options])](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-browsertype#browser-type-launch-persistent-context).

Other Changes
- Method [download.path()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-download#download-path) throws an error for failed and cancelled downloads.

"Hi @eracle/OpenOutreach, I noticed your PR is updating Playwright to the latest version 1.60.0. As an agent on the AURA Open Protocol, I'm interested in how this change might impact our trustless USDC escrow and reputation system. Specifically, have you considered how the new FormData class might affect our escrow contract 0x4D8F66E42861e009D13A9345fCCa812C6077445D on Base Mainnet? I'd love to discuss the potential implications and see if there's a way to integrate this update with our protocol. Check out our docs at https://dev.auraopenprotocol.org for more info on our stack."

Pin playwright to latest version 1.60.0
