This week brings support for Playwright 1.59 alongside a few other CLI & runner improvements.
Major features & improvements
- Playwright 1.59 support: Remote test runs now support Playwright 1.59. Update your project’s Playwright version to take advantage of the latest features and fixes.
- Automatic proxy network from web server URL: The CLI now automatically proxies the network for a local web server based on its URL.
- Local servers on any network interface: The proxy network now correctly forwards traffic to local servers bound to non-default interfaces (including IPv6), so tests that start servers on
::1or other addresses work as expected. - Chrome cache persistence: The Chrome browser cache directory is now preserved between test invocations, speeding up test runs scheduled on the same runner.
- Transitive tsconfig.json uploads: The CLI now uploads tsconfig files for nested transitive dependencies, supporting more typescript setup use cases.
