Highlights

• New cookie property partitionKey in browserContext.cookies() and browserContext.addCookies(). This property allows to save and restore partitioned cookies. See CHIPS MDN article for more information. Note that browsers have different support and defaults for cookie partitioning.

• New option noSnippets to disable code snippets in the html report.

  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    reporter: [['html', { noSnippets: true }]]
  });

• New property location in test annotations, for example in testResult.annotations and testInfo.annotations. It shows where the annotation like test.skip or test.fixme was added.

Command Line

• New option --user-data-dir in multiple commands. You can specify the same user data dir to reuse browsing state, like authentication, between sessions.

  npx playwright codegen --user-data-dir=./user-data

• Option -gv has been removed from the npx playwright test command. Use --grep-invert instead.

• npx playwright open does not open the test recorder anymore. Use npx playwright codegen instead.

Miscellaneous

• Support for Node.js 16 has been removed.
• Support for Node.js 18 has been deprecated, and will be removed in the future.
