chore(deps): Bump Microsoft.Playwright from 1.58.0 to 1.61.0

[dependabot]

Updated Microsoft.Playwright from 1.58.0 to 1.61.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Microsoft.Playwright's releases.

1.61.0

🔑 WebAuthn passkeys

New Credentials virtual authenticator, available via BrowserContext.Credentials, lets tests register passkeys and answer navigator.credentials.create() / navigator.credentials.get() ceremonies in the page — no real hardware key required, works in all browsers:

var context = await browser.NewContextAsync();

// Seed a passkey your backend provisioned for a test user.
await context.Credentials.CreateAsync("example.com", new()
{
    Id = credentialId,
    UserHandle = userHandle,
    PrivateKey = privateKey,
    PublicKey = publicKey,
});
await context.Credentials.InstallAsync();

var page = await context.NewPageAsync();
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com/login");
// The page's navigator.credentials.get() is answered with the seeded passkey.

You can also let the app register a passkey once in a setup test, read it back with Credentials.GetAsync(), and seed it into later tests — see Credentials for details.

🗃️ Web Storage

New WebStorage API, available via Page.LocalStorage and Page.SessionStorage, reads and writes the page's storage for the current origin:

await page.LocalStorage.SetItemAsync("token", "abc");
var token = await page.LocalStorage.GetItemAsync("token");
var items = await page.SessionStorage.ItemsAsync();

New APIs

• APIResponse.SecurityDetailsAsync() and APIResponse.ServerAddrAsync() mirror the browser-side Response.SecurityDetailsAsync() and Response.ServerAddrAsync().
• New option ArtifactsDir in BrowserType.ConnectOverCDPAsync() controls where artifacts such as traces and downloads are stored when attached to an existing browser.
• New option Cursor in Screencast.ShowActionsAsync() controls the cursor decoration rendered for pointer actions.
• The OnFrame callback in Screencast.StartAsync() now receives a Timestamp of when the frame was presented by the browser.

🛠️ Other improvements

• Playwright now supports Ubuntu 26.04.
• HAR and trace recordings now include WebSocket requests.

Browser Versions

• Chromium 149.0.7827.55
• Mozilla Firefox 151.0
• WebKit 26.5

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

1.60.0

💬 Custom assertion messages

Expect() overloads now accept a custom message that is prepended to any failure, giving extra context in test reports:

await Expect(page.Locator("#status"), "Should be logged in").ToBeVisibleAsync();

When the assertion fails, the message is prefixed:

Should be logged in
Locator expected to be visible

🌐 HAR recording on Tracing

Tracing.StartHarAsync() / Tracing.StopHarAsync() expose HAR recording as a first-class tracing API, with the same Content, Mode and UrlFilter options as RecordHar:

await context.Tracing.StartHarAsync("trace.har");
var page = await context.NewPageAsync();
await page.GotoAsync("https://playwright.dev");
await context.Tracing.StopHarAsync();

🪝 Drop API

New Locator.DropAsync() simulates an external drag-and-drop of files or clipboard-like data onto an element. Playwright dispatches dragenter, dragover, and drop with a synthetic [DataTransfer] in the page context — works cross-browser and is great for testing upload zones:

await page.Locator("#dropzone").DropAsync(new() {
    Files = new FilePayload() {
        Name = "note.txt",
        MimeType = "text/plain",
        Buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("hello"),
    },
});

await page.Locator("#dropzone").DropAsync(new() {
    Data = new Dictionary<string, string> {
        ["text/plain"] = "hello world",
        ["text/uri-list"] = "https://example.com",
    },
});

🎯 Aria snapshots

• Expect(page).ToMatchAriaSnapshotAsync() now works on a Page, in addition to a Locator — equivalent to asserting against Page.Locator("body").
• New Boxes option on Locator.AriaSnapshotAsync() / Page.AriaSnapshotAsync() appends each element's bounding box as [box=x,y,width,height], useful for AI consumption.

🎬 Screencast

New Page.Screencast API provides a unified interface for capturing page content with:

• Screencast recordings
• Action annotations
• Visual overlays
• Real-time frame capture
• Agentic video receipts

Screencast recording — record video with precise start/stop control, as an alternative to the recordVideoDir option:

await page.Screencast.StartAsync(new() { Path = "video.webm" });
// ... perform actions ...
await page.Screencast.StopAsync();

Action annotations — enable built-in visual annotations that highlight interacted elements and display action titles during recording:

await page.Screencast.ShowActionsAsync(new() { Position = "top-right" });

ShowActionsAsync accepts Position ("top-left", "top", "top-right", "bottom-left", "bottom", "bottom-right"), Duration (ms per annotation), and FontSize (px). Returns a disposable to stop showing actions.

Visual overlays — add chapter titles and custom HTML overlays on top of the page for richer narration:

await page.Screencast.ShowChapterAsync("Adding TODOs", new() {
    Description = "Type and press enter for each TODO",
    Duration = 1000,
});

await page.Screencast.ShowOverlayAsync("<div style=\"color: red\">Recording</div>");

Real-time frame capture — stream JPEG-encoded frames for custom processing like thumbnails, live previews, AI vision, and more:

await page.Screencast.StartAsync(new() {
    OnFrame = frame => SendToVisionModel(frame.Data),
});
