✨ New tool to merge reports

If you run tests on multiple shards, you can now merge all reports in a single HTML report (or any other report)
using the new merge-reports CLI tool.

Using merge-reports tool requires the following steps:

1. Adding a new "blob" reporter to the config when running on CI:

   export default defineConfig({
     testDir: './tests',
     reporter: process.env.CI ? 'blob' : 'html',
   });

   The "blob" reporter will produce ".zip" files that contain all the information
   about the test run.

2. Copying all "blob" reports in a single shared location and running npx playwright merge-reports:

   npx playwright merge-reports --reporter html ./all-blob-reports

Highlights

• UI mode is now available in VSCode Playwright extension via a new "Show trace viewer" button:

  

• UI mode and trace viewer mark network requests handled with page.route() and browserContext.route() handlers, as well as those issued via the API testing:

  

• New option maskColor for methods page.screenshot(), locator.screenshot(), expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() and expect(locator).toHaveScreenshot() to change default masking color:

  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot({
    mask: [page.locator('img')],
    maskColor: '#00FF00', // green
  });

• New uninstall CLI command to uninstall browser binaries:

  $ npx playwright uninstall # remove browsers installed by this installation
  $ npx playwright uninstall --all # remove all ever-install Playwright browsers

• Both UI mode and trace viewer now could be opened in a browser tab:

  $ npx playwright test --ui-port 0 # open UI mode in a tab on a random port
  $ npx playwright show-trace --port 0 # open trace viewer in tab on a random port

⚠️ Breaking changes

• playwright-core binary got renamed from playwright to playwright-core. So if you use playwright-core CLI, make sure to update the name:

  $ npx playwright-core install # the new way to install browsers when using playwright-core

  This change does not affect @playwright/test and playwright package users.
