v0.162.1

Highlights

Touch

• Use page.tap() to automate native tap events. Like other input events, taps auto-wait for the UI element and actionability checks.

Network

• WebSocket inspection: Use page.on('websocket') and the new WebSocket class to inspect WebSocket connections.
• HAR export: Capture and export all the network activity as a HAR file. Pass recordHar while creating new browser contexts.
• Resource timing: Use request.timing() to retrieve and analyze timing data for the network requests.
• Proxy for browser context: Network proxy settings can now be configured per browser contexts with the proxy option on the new context.

Playwright CLI

• CLI codegen can now generate C# code. Run npx playwright-cli codegen --target=csharp to try!
