Playwright Python Versions Save

New APIs

• Method BrowserContext.clear_cookies([options]) now supports filters to remove only some cookies.

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

• New method locator.content_frame converts a {@link Locator} object to a FrameLocator. This can be useful when you have a Locator object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the content inside the frame.

  locator = page.locator("iframe[name='embedded']")
  # ...
  frame_locator = locator.content_frame
  frame_locator.getByRole("button").click()
  

• New method frameLocator.owner converts a FrameLocator object to a Locator. This can be useful when you have a FrameLocator object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the iframe element.

  frame_locator = page.frame_locator("iframe[name='embedded']")
  # ...
  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) 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.

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

Test Generator Update

New tools to generate assertions:

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

from playwright.sync_api import Page, expect

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

New APIs
