## ✨ Features

- feat: Add configurable sensitive data masking with custom patterns (#5109)

### Backward Compatible Boolean Configuration

```js
// codecept.conf.js
exports.config = {
  maskSensitiveData: true, // Uses built-in patterns for common sensitive data
  // ... other config
}
```

### Advanced Custom Patterns Configuration

```js
// codecept.conf.js
exports.config = {
  maskSensitiveData: {
    enabled: true,
    patterns: [
      {
        name: 'Email',
        regex: /(\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b)/gi,
        mask: '[MASKED_EMAIL]'
      },
      {
        name: 'Credit Card',
        regex: /\b(?:\d{4}[- ]?){3}\d{4}\b/g,
        mask: '[MASKED_CARD]'
      },
      {
        name: 'Phone Number',
        regex: /(\+?1[-.\s]?)?\(?([0-9]{3})\)?[-.\s]?([0-9]{3})[-.\s]?([0-9]{4})/g,
        mask: '[MASKED_PHONE]'
      }
    ]
  },
  // ... other config
}

## Example Output

With the above configuration, sensitive data is automatically masked:

**Before:**

Given I have user email "john.doe@company.com"
And I have credit card "4111 1111 1111 1111"
And I have phone number "+1-555-123-4567"


**After:**

Given I have user email "[MASKED_EMAIL]"
And I have credit card "[MASKED_CARD]"
And I have phone number "[MASKED_PHONE]"
```

- feat(playwright): Add Custom Strategy Locators support (#5090)

```js
exports.config = {
  helpers: {
    Playwright: {
      url: 'http://localhost',
      browser: 'chromium',
      customLocatorStrategies: {
        byRole: (selector, root) => {
          return root.querySelector(`[role="${selector}"]`);
        },
        byTestId: (selector, root) => {
          return root.querySelector(`[data-testid="${selector}"]`);
        },
        byDataQa: (selector, root) => {
          const elements = root.querySelectorAll(`[data-qa="${selector}"]`);
          return Array.from(elements); // Return array for multiple elements
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And used in tests with the same syntax as other locator types:

I.click({byRole: 'button'});           // Find by role attribute
I.see('Welcome', {byTestId: 'title'}); // Find by data-testid
I.fillField({byDataQa: 'email'}, 'test@example.com');
```

- feat(reporter): Enable HTML reporter by default in new projects (#5105)

```
plugins: {
  htmlReporter: {
    enabled: true
  }
}
```

![HTML report](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/raw/3.x/docs/shared/html-reporter-main-dashboard.png)

- feat(cli): make test file hyperlink clickable (#5078) - by @kobenguyent
  ![test file hyperlink clickable](https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/7845001/479922301-a2a21480-00d8-4508-8bf6-d4bf5630e06a.png?jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.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.iyq8LmTLSwoYIoCY4lBAIQRFGAEBYSq3JTO9ePfNWBg)

- feat: Introduce CodeceptJS WebElement Class to mirror helpers’ element instance (#5091)

### Unified API Methods

- **Element Properties**: `getText()`, `getAttribute()`, `getProperty()`, `getInnerHTML()`, `getValue()`
- **Element State**: `isVisible()`, `isEnabled()`, `exists()`, `getBoundingBox()`
- **Element Interactions**: `click()`, `type()`
- **Child Element Search**: `$()` and `$$()` methods for finding sub-elements
- **Native Access**: `getNativeElement()` and `getHelper()` for advanced operations

### Updated Helper Methods

- `grabWebElement()` and `grabWebElements()` now return `WebElement` instances instead of native elements
- Added missing `grabWebElement()` method to WebDriver and Puppeteer helpers
- Maintains backward compatibility through `getNativeElement()` method

```
// Works consistently across all helpers
const element = await I.grabWebElement('#button');
const text = await element.getText();
const childElements = await element.$$('.child');
await element.click();

// Element searching within elements
const form = await I.grabWebElement('#contact-form');
const nameInput = await form.$('#name');
await nameInput.type('John Doe');
```

- feat: support `feature.only` like `Scenario.only` (#5087)
  Example:

  ```js
  Feature.only('Checkout Flow', () => {
    Scenario('complete order', ({ I }) => {
      // test steps here
    })
  })
  ```

## 3.7.4

❤️ Thanks all to those who contributed to make this release! ❤️

🛩️ _Features_

- **Test Suite Shuffling**: Randomize test execution order to discover test dependencies and improve test isolation (#5051) - by @NivYarmus

  ```bash
  # Shuffle tests to find order-dependent failures using lodash.shuffle algorithm
  npx codeceptjs run --shuffle

  # Combined with grep and other options
  npx codeceptjs run --shuffle --grep "@smoke" --steps
  ```

- **Enhanced Interactive Debugging**: Better logging for `I.grab*` methods in live interactive mode for clearer debugging output (#4986) - by @owenizedd

  ```js
  // Interactive pause() now shows detailed grab results with JSON formatting
  I.amOnPage('/checkout')
  pause()  // Interactive shell started
  > I.grabTextFrom('.price')
  Result $res= "Grabbed text: $29.99"  // Pretty-printed JSON output
  > I.grabValueFrom('input[name="email"]')
  {"value":"user@example.com"}  // Structured JSON response
  ```

  🐛 _Bug Fixes_

- **Playwright Session Traces**: Fixed trace file naming convention and improved error handling for multi-session test scenarios (#5073) - by @julien-ft-64 @kobenguyent

  ```js
  // Example outputs:
  // - a1b2c3d4-e5f6_checkout_login_test.failed.zip
  // - b2c3d4e5-f6g7_admin_dashboard_test.failed.zip
  ```

  _Trace files use UUID prefixes with `sessionName_testTitle.status.zip` format_

- **Worker Data Injection**: Resolved proxy object serialization preventing data sharing between parallel test workers (#5072) - by @kobenguyent

  ```js
  // Fixed: Complex objects can now be properly shared and injected between workers
  // Bootstrap data sharing in codecept.conf.js:
  exports.config = {
    bootstrap() {
      share({
        userData: { id: 123, preferences: { theme: 'dark' } },
        apiConfig: { baseUrl: 'https://api.test.com', timeout: 5000 },
      })
    },
  }

  // In tests across different workers:
  const testData = inject()
  console.log(testData.userData.preferences.theme) // 'dark' - deep nesting works
  console.log(Object.keys(testData)) // ['userData', 'apiConfig'] - key enumeration works

  // Dynamic sharing during test execution:
  share({ newData: 'shared across workers' })
  ```

- **Hook Exit Codes**: Fixed improper exit codes when test hooks fail, ensuring CI/CD pipelines properly detect failures (#5058) - by @kobenguyent

  ```bash
  # Before: Exit code 0 even when beforeEach/afterEach failed
  # After: Exit code 1 when any hook fails, properly failing CI builds
  ```

- **TypeScript Effects Support**: Added complete TypeScript definitions for effects functionality (#5027) - by @kobenguyent

  ```typescript
  // Import effects with full TypeScript type definitions
  import { tryTo, retryTo, within } from 'codeceptjs/effects'

  // tryTo returns Promise<boolean> for conditional actions
  const success: boolean = await tryTo(async () => {
    await I.see('Cookie banner')
    await I.click('Accept')
  })

  // retryTo with typed parameters for reliability
  await retryTo(() => {
    I.click('Submit')
    I.see('Success')
  }, 3) // retry up to 3 times
  ```

  _Note: Replaces deprecated global plugins - import from 'codeceptjs/effects' module_

- **Mochawesome Screenshot Uniqueness**: Fixed screenshot naming to prevent test failures from being overwritten when multiple tests run at the same time (#4959) - by @Lando1n

  ```js
  // Problem: When tests run in parallel, screenshots had identical names
  // This caused later test screenshots to overwrite earlier ones

  // Before: All failed tests saved as "screenshot.png"
  // Result: Only the last failure screenshot was kept

  // After: Each screenshot gets a unique name with timestamp
  // Examples:
  // - "login_test_1645123456.failed.png"
  // - "checkout_test_1645123789.failed.png"
  // - "profile_test_1645124012.failed.png"

  // Configuration in codecept.conf.js:
  helpers: {
    Mochawesome: {
      uniqueScreenshotNames: true // Enable unique naming
    }
  }
  ```

  _Ensures every failed test keeps its own screenshot for easier debugging_

## 3.7.0

This release introduces major new features and internal refactoring. It is an important step toward the 4.0 release planned soon, which will remove all deprecations introduced in 3.7.

🛩️ _Features_

### 🔥 **Native Element Functions**

A new [Els API](/els) for direct element interactions has been introduced. This API provides low-level element manipulation functions for more granular control over element interactions and assertions:

- `element()` - perform custom operations on first matching element
- `eachElement()` - iterate and perform operations on each matching element
- `expectElement()` - assert condition on first matching element
- `expectAnyElement()` - assert condition matches at least one element
- `expectAllElements()` - assert condition matches all elements

Example using all element functions:

```js
const { element, eachElement, expectElement, expectAnyElement, expectAllElements } = require('codeceptjs/els')

// ...

Scenario('element functions demo', async ({ I }) => {
  // Get attribute of first button
  const attr = await element('.button', async el => await el.getAttribute('data-test'))

  // Log text of each list item
  await eachElement('.list-item', async (el, idx) => {
    console.log(`Item ${idx}: ${await el.getText()}`)
  })

  // Assert first submit button is enabled
  await expectElement('.submit', async el => await el.isEnabled())

  // Assert at least one product is in stock
  await expectAnyElement('.product', async el => {
    return (await el.getAttribute('data-status')) === 'in-stock'
  })

  // Assert all required fields have required attribute
  await expectAllElements('.required', async el => {
    return (await el.getAttribute('required')) !== null
  })
})
```

[Els](/els) functions expose the native API of Playwright, WebDriver, and Puppeteer helpers. The actual `el` API will differ depending on which helper is used, which affects test code interoperability.

### 🔮 **Effects introduced**

[Effects](/effects) is a new concept that encompasses all functions that can modify scenario flow. These functions are now part of a single module. Previously, they were used via plugins like `tryTo` and `retryTo`. Now, it is recommended to import them directly:

```js
const { tryTo, retryTo } = require('codeceptjs/effects')

Scenario(..., ({ I }) => {
  I.amOnPage('/')
  // tryTo returns boolean if code in function fails
  // use it to execute actions that may fail but not affect the test flow
  // for instance, for accepting cookie banners
  const isItWorking = tryTo(() => I.see('It works'))

  // run multiple steps and retry on failure
  retryTo(() => {
    I.click('Start Working!');
    I.see('It works')
  }, 5);
})
```

Previously `tryTo` and `retryTo` were available globally via plugins. This behavior is deprecated as of 3.7 and will be removed in 4.0. Import these functions via effects instead. Similarly, `within` will be moved to `effects` in 4.0.

### ✅ `check` command added

```
npx codeceptjs check
```

This command can be executed locally or in CI environments to verify that tests can be executed correctly.

It checks:

- configuration
- tests
- helpers

And will attempt to open and close a browser if a corresponding helper is enabled. If something goes wrong, the command will fail with a message. Run `npx codeceptjs check` on CI before actual tests to ensure everything is set up correctly and all services and browsers are accessible.

For GitHub Actions, add this command:

```yaml
steps:
  # ...
  - name: check configuration and browser
    run: npx codeceptjs check

  - name: run codeceptjs tests
    run: npx codeceptjs run-workers 4
```

### 👨‍🔬 **analyze plugin introduced**

This [AI plugin](./plugins#analyze) analyzes failures in test runs and provides brief summaries. For more than 5 failures, it performs cluster analysis and aggregates failures into groups, attempting to find common causes. It is recommended to use Deepseek R1 model or OpenAI o3 for better reasoning on clustering:

```js
• SUMMARY The test failed because the expected text "Sign in" was not found on the page, indicating a possible issue with HTML elements or their visibility.
• ERROR expected web application to include "Sign in"
• CATEGORY HTML / page elements (not found, not visible, etc)
• URL http://127.0.0.1:3000/users/sign_in
```

For fewer than 5 failures, they are analyzed individually. If a visual recognition model is connected, AI will also scan screenshots to suggest potential failure causes (missing button, missing text, etc).

This plugin should be paired with the newly added [`pageInfo` plugin](./plugins/#pageInfo) which stores important information like URL, console logs, and error classes for further analysis.

### 👨‍💼 **autoLogin plugin** renamed to **auth plugin**

[`auth`](/plugins#auth) is the new name for the autoLogin plugin and aims to solve common authorization issues. In 3.7 it can use Playwright's storage state to load authorization cookies in a browser on start. So if a user is already authorized, a browser session starts with cookies already loaded for this user. If you use Playwright, you can enable this behavior using the `loginAs` method inside a `BeforeSuite` hook:

```js
BeforeSuite(({ loginAs }) => loginAs('user'))
```

The previous behavior where `loginAs` was called from a `Before` hook also works. However, cookie loading and authorization checking is performed after the browser starts.

#### Metadata introduced

Meta information in key-value format can be attached to Scenarios to provide more context when reporting tests:

```js
// add Jira issue to scenario
Scenario('...', () => {
  // ...
}).meta('JIRA', 'TST-123')

// or pass meta info in the beginning of scenario:
Scenario('my test linked to Jira', meta: { issue: 'TST-123' }, () => {
  // ...
})
```

By default, Playwright helpers add browser and window size as meta information to tests.

### 👢 Custom Steps API

Custom Steps or Sections API introduced to group steps into sections:

```js
const { Section } = require('codeceptjs/steps');

Scenario({ I } => {
  I.amOnPage('/projects');

  // start section "Create project"
  Section('Create a project');
  I.click('Create');
  I.fillField('title', 'Project 123')
  I.click('Save')
  I.see('Project created')
  // calling Section with empty param closes previous section
  Section()

  // previous section automatically closes
  // when new section starts
  Section('open project')
  // ...
});
```

To hide steps inside a section from output use `Section().hidden()` call:

```js
Section('Create a project').hidden()
// next steps are not printed:
I.click('Create')
I.fillField('title', 'Project 123')
Section()
```

Alternative syntax for closing section: `EndSection`:

```js
const { Section, EndSection } = require('codeceptjs/steps');

// ...
Scenario(..., ({ I }) =>  // ...

  Section('Create a project').hidden()
  // next steps are not printed:
  I.click('Create');
  I.fillField('title', 'Project 123')
  EndSection()
```

Also available BDD-style pre-defined sections:

```js
const { Given, When, Then } = require('codeceptjs/steps');

// ...
Scenario(..., ({ I }) =>  // ...

  Given('I have a project')
  // next steps are not printed:
  I.click('Create');
  I.fillField('title', 'Project 123')

  When('I open project');
  // ...

  Then('I should see analytics in a project')
  //....
```

### 🥾 Step Options

Better syntax to set general step options for specific tests.

Use it to set timeout or retries for specific steps:

```js
const step = require('codeceptjs/steps');

Scenario(..., ({ I }) =>  // ...
  I.click('Create', step.timeout(10).retry(2));
  //....
```

Alternative syntax:

```js
const { stepTimeout, stepRetry } = require('codeceptjs/steps');

Scenario(..., ({ I }) =>  // ...
  I.click('Create', stepTimeout(10));
  I.see('Created', stepRetry(2));
  //....
```

This change deprecates previous syntax:

- `I.limitTime().act(...)` => replaced with `I.act(..., stepTimeout())`
- `I.retry().act(...)` => replaced with `I.act(..., stepRetry())`

Step options should be passed as the very last argument to `I.action()` call.

Step options can be used to pass additional options to currently existing methods:

```js
const { stepOpts } = require('codeceptjs/steps')

I.see('SIGN IN', stepOpts({ ignoreCase: true }))
```

Currently this works only on `see` and only with `ignoreCase` param.
However, this syntax will be extended in next versions.

### Test object can be injected into Scenario

API for direct access to test object inside Scenario or hooks to add metadata or artifacts:

```js
BeforeSuite(({ suite }) => {
  // no test object here, test is not created yet
})

Before(({ test }) => {
  // add artifact to test
  test.artifacts.myScreenshot = 'screenshot'
})

Scenario('test store-test-and-suite test', ({ test }) => {
  // add custom meta data
  test.meta.browser = 'chrome'
})

After(({ test }) => {})
```

Object for `suite` is also injected for all Scenario and hooks.

- `codeceptjs run` fails on CI if no tests were executed. This helps to avoid false positive checks. Use `DONT_FAIL_ON_EMPTY_RUN` env variable to disable this behavior
- Various console output improvements
- AI suggested fixes from `heal` plugin (which heals failing tests on the fly) shown in `run-workers` command
- `plugin/standatdActingHelpers` replaced with `Container.STANDARD_ACTING_HELPERS`

### 🐛 _Bug Fixes_

- Fixed timeouts for `BeforeSuite` and `AfterSuite`
- Fixed stucking process on session switch

### 🎇 Internal Refactoring

This section is listed briefly. A new dedicated page for internal API concepts will be added to documentation

- File structure changed:
  - mocha classes moved to `lib/mocha`
  - step is split to multiple classes and moved to `lib/step`
- Extended and exposed to public API classes for Test, Suite, Hook
  - [Test](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/mocha/test.js)
  - [Suite](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/mocha/suite.js)
  - [Hook](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/mocha/hooks.js) (Before, After, BeforeSuite, AfterSuite)
- Container:
  - refactored to be prepared for async imports in ESM.
  - added proxy classes to resolve circular dependencies
- Step
  - added different step types [`HelperStep`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/step/helper.js), [`MetaStep`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/step/meta.js), [`FuncStep`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/step/func.js), [`CommentStep`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/step/comment.js)
  - added `step.addToRecorder()` to schedule test execution as part of global promise chain
- [Result object](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/result.js) added
  - `event.all.result` now sends Result object with all failures and stats included
- `run-workers` refactored to use `Result` to send results from workers to main process
- Timeouts refactored `listener/timeout` => [`globalTimeout`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/listener/globalTimeout.js)
- Reduced usages of global variables, more attributes added to [`store`](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/3.x/lib/store.js) to share data on current state between different parts of system
- `events` API improved
  - Hook class is sent as param for `event.hook.passed`, `event.hook.finished`
  - `event.test.failed`, `event.test.finished` always sends Test. If test has failed in `Before` or `BeforeSuite` hook, event for all failed test in this suite will be sent
  - if a test has failed in a hook, a hook name is sent as 3rd arg to `event.test.failed`

Add hint to "I.seeEmailAttachment" that under the hood parameter is treated as RegExp.
When you don't know it, it can cause a lot of pain, wondering why your test fails with I.seeEmailAttachment('Attachment(1).pdf') although it looks just fine, but actually I.seeEmailAttachment('Attachment\\(1\\).pdf is required to make the test green, in case the attachment is called "Attachment(1).pdf" with special character in it.

## 3.6.1

- Fixed regression in interactive pause.

## 3.6.0

🛩️ _Features_

- Introduced [healers](./heal) to improve stability of failed tests. Write functions that can perform actions to fix a failing test:

```js
heal.addRecipe('reloadPageIfModalIsNotVisisble', {
  steps: ['click'],
  fn: async ({ error, step }) => {
    // this function will be executed only if test failed with
    // "model is not visible" message
    if (error.message.include('modal is not visible')) return

    // we return a function that will refresh a page
    // and tries to perform last step again
    return async ({ I }) => {
      I.reloadPage()
      I.wait(1)
      await step.run()
    }
    // if a function succeeds, test continues without an error
  },
})
```

- **Breaking Change** **AI** features refactored. Read updated [AI guide](./ai):
  - **removed dependency on `openai`**
  - added support for **Azure OpenAI**, **Claude**, **Mistal**, or any AI via custom request function
  - `--ai` option added to explicitly enable AI features
  - heal plugin decoupled from AI to run custom heal recipes
  - improved healing for async/await scenarios
  - token limits added
  - token calculation introduced
  - `OpenAI` helper renamed to `AI`

- feat(puppeteer): network traffic manipulation. See #4263 by @KobeNguyenT
  - `startRecordingTraffic`
  - `grabRecordedNetworkTraffics`
  - `flushNetworkTraffics`
  - `stopRecordingTraffic`
  - `seeTraffic`
  - `dontSeeTraffic`

- feat(Puppeteer): recording WS messages. See #4264 by @KobeNguyenT

Recording WS messages:

```
      I.startRecordingWebSocketMessages();
      I.amOnPage('https://websocketstest.com/');
      I.waitForText('Work for You!');
      const wsMessages = I.grabWebSocketMessages();
      expect(wsMessages.length).to.greaterThan(0);
```

flushing WS messages:

```
      I.startRecordingWebSocketMessages();
      I.amOnPage('https://websocketstest.com/');
      I.waitForText('Work for You!');
      I.flushWebSocketMessages();
      const wsMessages = I.grabWebSocketMessages();
      expect(wsMessages.length).to.equal(0);
```

Examples:

```js
// recording traffics and verify the traffic
I.startRecordingTraffic()
I.amOnPage('https://codecept.io/')
I.seeTraffic({ name: 'traffics', url: 'https://codecept.io/img/companies/BC_LogoScreen_C.jpg' })
```

```js
// check the traffic with advanced params
I.amOnPage('https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt')
I.startRecordingTraffic()
I.seeTraffic({
  name: 'sentry event',
  url: 'https://images.openai.com/blob/cf717bdb-0c8c-428a-b82b-3c3add87a600',
  parameters: {
    width: '1919',
    height: '1138',
  },
})
```

- Introduce the playwright locator: `_react`, `_vue`, `data-testid` attribute. See #4255 by @KobeNguyenT

```
Scenario('using playwright locator @Playwright', () => {
  I.amOnPage('https://codecept.io/test-react-calculator/');
  I.click('7');
  I.click({ pw: '_react=t[name = "="]' });
  I.seeElement({ pw: '_react=t[value = "7"]' });
  I.click({ pw: '_react=t[name = "+"]' });
  I.click({ pw: '_react=t[name = "3"]' });
  I.click({ pw: '_react=t[name = "="]' });
  I.seeElement({ pw: '_react=t[value = "10"]' });
});
```

```
Scenario('using playwright data-testid attribute @Playwright', () => {
    I.amOnPage('/');
    const webElements = await I.grabWebElements({ pw: '[data-testid="welcome"]' });
    assert.equal(webElements[0]._selector, '[data-testid="welcome"] >> nth=0');
    assert.equal(webElements.length, 1);
});
```

- feat(puppeteer): mockRoute support. See #4262 by @KobeNguyenT

Network requests & responses can be mocked and modified. Use `mockRoute` which strictly follows [Puppeteer's setRequestInterception API](https://pptr.dev/next/api/puppeteer.page.setrequestinterception).

```
I.mockRoute('https://reqres.in/api/comments/1', request => {
  request.respond({
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*' },
    contentType: 'application/json',
    body: '{"name": "this was mocked" }',
  });
})
```

```
I.mockRoute('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}', route => route.abort());

// To disable mocking for a route call `stopMockingRoute`
// for previously mocked URL
I.stopMockingRoute('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}');
```

To master request intercepting [use HTTPRequest object](https://pptr.dev/next/api/puppeteer.httprequest) passed into mock request handler.

  `wdio-chromedriver-service`, `wdio-geckodriver-service`, `wdio-edgedriver-service`, `wdio-safaridriver-service`, and even `@wdio/selenium-standalone-service`.

For those who require custom driver options, fear not; WebDriver Helper allows you to pass in driver options through custom WebDriver configuration.
If you have a custom grid, use a cloud service, or prefer to run your own driver, there's no need to worry since WebDriver Helper will only start a driver when there are no other connection information settings like hostname or port specified.

Example:

```js
{
   helpers: {
     WebDriver : {
       smartWait: 5000,
       browser: "chrome",
       restart: false,
       windowSize: "maximize",
       timeouts: {
         "script": 60000,
         "page load": 10000
       }
     }
   }
}
```

Testing Chrome locally is now more convenient than ever. You can define a browser channel, and WebDriver Helper will take care of downloading the specified browser version for you.
For example:

```js
{
   helpers: {
     WebDriver : {
       smartWait: 5000,
       browser: "chrome",
       browserVersion: '116.0.5793.0', // or 'stable', 'beta', 'dev' or 'canary'
       restart: false,
       windowSize: "maximize",
       timeouts: {
         "script": 60000,
         "page load": 10000
       }
     }
   }
}
```

- feat(playwright): support HAR replaying (#3990) - by @KobeNguyenT

```
Replaying from HAR

 // Replay API requests from HAR.
 // Either use a matching response from the HAR,
 // or abort the request if nothing matches.
   I.replayFromHar('./output/har/something.har', { url: "*/**/api/v1/fruits" });
   I.amOnPage('https://demo.playwright.dev/api-mocking');

[Parameters]
harFilePath [string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) Path to recorded HAR file
opts [object](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object)? [Options for replaying from HAR](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-route-from-har)
```

- feat(playwright): support HAR recording (#3986) - by @KobeNguyenT

```
A HAR file is an HTTP Archive file that contains a record of all the network requests that are made when a page is loaded.
It contains information about the request and response headers, cookies, content, timings, and more.
You can use HAR files to mock network requests in your tests. HAR will be saved to output/har.
More info could be found here https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browser#browser-new-context-option-record-har.

- fix(workers): event improvements (#3953) - by @KobeNguyenT

```
Emit the new event: event.workers.result.

CodeceptJS also exposes the env var `process.env.RUNS_WITH_WORKERS` when running tests with run-workers command so that you could handle the events better in your plugins/helpers.

const { event } = require('codeceptjs');

module.exports = function() {
    // this event would trigger the  `_publishResultsToTestrail` when running `run-workers` command
  event.dispatcher.on(event.workers.result, async () => {
    await _publishResultsToTestrail();
  });

  // this event would not trigger the  `_publishResultsToTestrail` multiple times when running `run-workers` command
  event.dispatcher.on(event.all.result, async () => {
      // when running `run` command, this env var is undefined
    if (!process.env.RUNS_WITH_WORKERS) await _publishResultsToTestrail();

```
Currently inside the _before() of helpers for example Playwright, the retries is set there, however, when retryFailedStep plugin is enabled, the retries of recorder is still using the value from _before() not the value from retryFailedStep plugin.

Fix:

- introduce the process.env.FAILED_STEP_RETIRES which could be access everywhere as the helper won't know anything about the plugin.
- set default retries of Playwright to 3 to be on the same page with Puppeteer.

    Before: 3 // retry Before 3 times
    Scenario: 3 // retry Scenario 3 times
  },
  {
    // retry less when running slow tests
    grep: '@slow'

    // retry all BeforeSuite 3 times
    BeforeSuite: 3
  }
]
```

timeout: [
  10, // default timeout is 10secs
  {
    // but increase timeout for slow tests
    grep: '@slow',
    Feature: 50,
  },

- [Playwright] **Possible breaking change.** By default `timeout` is changed to 5000ms. The value set in 3.3.0 was too low. Please set `timeout` explicitly to not depend on release values.
- [Playwright] Added for color scheme option by @PeterNgTr

```js
 helpers: {
  Playwright : {
    url: "http://localhost",
    colorScheme: "dark",
  }

## 3.3.0

🛩️ Features:

- [**API Testing introduced**](/api)
  - Introduced [`JSONResponse`](/helpers/JSONResponse) helper which connects to REST, GraphQL or Playwright helper
  - [REST] Added `amBearerAuthenticated` method
  - [REST] Added `haveRequestHeaders` method
  - Added dependency on `joi` and `chai`
- [Playwright] Added `timeout` option to set [timeout](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-set-default-timeout) for all Playwright actions. If an action fails, Playwright keeps retrying it for a time set by timeout.
- [Playwright] **Possible breaking change.** By default `timeout` is set to 1000ms. _Previous default was set by Playwright internally to 30s. This was causing contradiction to CodeceptJS retries, so triggered up to 3 retries for 30s of time. This timeout option was lowered so retryFailedStep plugin would not cause long delays._
- [Playwright] Updated `restart` config option to include 3 restart strategies:
  - 'context' or **false** - restarts [browser context](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsercontext) but keeps running browser. Recommended by Playwright team to keep tests isolated.
  - 'browser' or **true** - closes browser and opens it again between tests.
  - 'session' or 'keep' - keeps browser context and session, but cleans up cookies and localStorage between tests. The fastest option when running tests in windowed mode. Works with `keepCookies` and `keepBrowserState` options. This behavior was default prior CodeceptJS 3.1
- [Playwright] Extended methods to provide more options from engine. These methods were updated so additional options can be be passed as the last argument:
  - [`click`](/helpers/Playwright#click)
  - [`dragAndDrop`](/helpers/Playwright#dragAndDrop)
  - [`checkOption`](/helpers/Playwright#checkOption)
  - [`uncheckOption`](/helpers/Playwright#uncheckOption)

```js
// use Playwright click options as 3rd argument
I.click('canvas', '.model', { position: { x: 20, y: 40 } })
// check option also has options
I.checkOption('Agree', '.signup', { position: { x: 5, y: 5 } })
```

- `eachElement` plugin introduced. It allows you to iterate over elements and perform some action on them using direct engines API

```js
await eachElement('click all links in .list', '.list a', (el) => {
  await el.click();
})
```

- [Playwright] Added support to `playwright-core` package if `playwright` is not installed. See #3190, fixes #2663.
- [Playwright] Added `makeApiRequest` action to perform API requests. Requires Playwright >= 1.18
- Added support to `codecept.config.js` for name consistency across other JS tools. See motivation at #3195 by @JiLiZART
- [ApiDataFactory] Added options arg to `have` method. See #3197 by @JJlokidoki
- Improved pt-br translations to include keywords: 'Funcionalidade', 'Cenário', 'Antes', 'Depois', 'AntesDaSuite', 'DepoisDaSuite'. See #3206 by @danilolutz
- [allure plugin] Introduced `addStep` method to add comments and attachments. See #3104 by @EgorBodnar

- [Appium] Fixed logging error when `manualStart` is true. See #3140 by @nikocanvacom

## 3.2.1

> ♻️ This release fixes hanging of tests by reducing timeouts for automatic retries on failures.

- [retryFailedStep plugin] **New Defaults**: retries steps up to 3 times with factor of 1.5 (previously 5 with factor 2)
- [Playwright] - disabled retry on failed context actions (not needed anymore)
- [Puppeteer] - reduced retries on context failures to 3 times.

## 3.2.0

🛩️ Features:

**[Timeouts](https://codecept.io/advanced/#timeout) implemented**

- global timeouts (via `timeout` config option).
  - _Breaking change:_ timeout option expects **timeout in seconds**, not in milliseconds as it was previously.
- test timeouts (via `Scenario` and `Feature` options)
  - _Breaking change:_ `Feature().timeout()` and `Scenario().timeout()` calls has no effect and are deprecated

```js
// set timeout for every test in suite to 10 secs
Feature('tests with timeout', { timeout: 10 })

// set timeout for this test to 20 secs
Scenario('a test with timeout', { timeout: 20 }, ({ I }) => {})
```

- step timeouts (See #3059 by @nikocanvacom)

```js
// set step timeout to 5 secs
I.limitTime(5).click('Link')
```

- `stepTimeout` plugin introduced to automatically add timeouts for each step (#3059 by @nikocanvacom).

[**retryTo**](/plugins/#retryto) plugin introduced to rerun a set of steps on failure:

```js
// editing in text in iframe
// if iframe was not loaded - retry 5 times
await retryTo(() => {
  I.switchTo('#editor frame')
  I.fillField('textarea', 'value')
}, 5)
```

- [Playwright] added `locale` configuration
- [WebDriver] upgraded to webdriverio v7

- BDD Improvement. Added `DataTableArgument` class to work with table data structures.

```js
const { DataTableArgument } = require('codeceptjs');
//...
Given('I have an employee card', (table) => {
  const dataTableArgument = new DataTableArgument(table);
  const hashes = dataTableArgument.hashes();
  // hashes = [{ name: 'Harry', surname: 'Potter', position: 'Seeker' }];
  const rows = dataTableArgument.rows();
  // rows = [['Harry', 'Potter', Seeker]];
  }
```

## 3.0.0-beta.4

🐛 Bug Fix:

- PageObject was broken when using "this" inside a simple object.
- The typings for all WebDriver methods work correctly.
- The typings for "this.helper" and helper constructor work correctly, too.

🧤 Internal:

- Our TS Typings will be tested now! We strarted using [dtslint](https://github.com/microsoft/dtslint) to check all typings and all rules for linter.
  Example:

```ts
const psp = wd.grabPageScrollPosition() // $ExpectType Promise<PageScrollPosition>
psp.then(result => {
  result.x // $ExpectType number
  result.y // $ExpectType number
})
```

- And last: Reducing package size from 3.3Mb to 2.0Mb

## 3.0.0-beta-3

- **BREAKING** Replaced bootstrap/teardown scripts to accept only functions or async functions. Async function with callback (with done parameter) should be replaced with async/await. [See our upgrde guide](https://bit.ly/codecept3Up).
- Test artifacts introduced. Each test object has `artifacts` property, to keep attachment files. For instance, a screenshot of a failed test is attached to a test as artifact.
- Improved output for test execution
  - Changed colors for steps output, simplified
  - Added stack trace for test failures
  - Removed `Event emitted` from log in `--verbose` mode
  - List artifacts of a failed tests

// OUTPUT:
MyPage: hasFile "First arg", "Second arg"
  I see file "codecept.js"
  I see file "codecept.po.json"
```

```js
I.usePuppeteerTo('do something special', async ({ page, browser }) => {
  // use page or browser objects here
})
```

Basic feature file:

```gherkin
Feature: Business rules
  In order to achieve my goals
  As a persona
  I want to be able to interact with a system

  Scenario: do anything in my life
    Given I need to open Google
```

Step definition:

```js
const I = actor()

Given('I need to open Google', () => {
  I.amOnPage('https://google.com')
})
```

Run it with `--features --steps` flag:

```
codeceptjs run --steps --features
```

---

- **Brekaing Chnage** `run` command now uses relative path + test name to run exactly one test file.

Previous behavior (removed):

```
codeceptjs run basic_test.js
```

Current behavior (relative path to config + a test name)

```
codeceptjs run tests/basic_test.js
```

This change allows using auto-completion when running a specific test.

---

- Nested steps output enabled for page objects.
  - to see high-level steps only run tests with `--steps` flag.
  - to see PageObjects implementation run tests with `--debug`.
- PageObjects simplified to remove `_init()` extra method. Try updated generators and see [updated guide](https://codecept.io/pageobjects/#pageobject).
- [Puppeteer] [Multiple sessions](https://codecept.io/acceptance/#multiple-sessions) enabled. Requires Puppeteer >= 1.5
- [Puppeteer] Stability improvement. Waits for for `load` event on page load. This strategy can be changed in config:
  - `waitForNavigation` config option introduced. Possible options: `load`, `domcontentloaded`, `networkidle0`, `networkidle2`. See [Puppeteer API](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/api/puppeteer.waitforoptions.md)
  - `getPageTimeout` config option to set maximum navigation time in milliseconds. Default is 30 seconds.
  - `waitForNavigation` method added. Explicitly waits for navigation to be finished.

## 1.2.0

- [WebDriverIO][Protractor][Multiple Sessions](https://codecept.io/acceptance/#multiple-sessions). Run several browser sessions in one test. Introduced `session` command, which opens additional browser window and closes it after a test.

```js
Scenario('run in different browsers', I => {
  I.amOnPage('/hello')
  I.see('Hello!')
  session('john', () => {
    I.amOnPage('/bye')
    I.dontSee('Hello')
    I.see('Bye')
  })
  I.see('Hello')
})
```

- [Parallel Execution](https://codecept.io/advanced/#parallel-execution) by @sveneisenschmidt. Run tests in parallel specifying number of chunks:

```js
"multiple": {
  "parallel": {
    // run in 2 processes
    "chunks": 2,
    // run all tests in chrome
    "browsers": ["chrome"]
  },
}
```

- [Locator Builder](https://codecept.io/locators). Write complex locators with simplest API combining CSS and XPath:

```js
// select 'Edit' link inside 2nd row of a table
locate('//table').find('tr').at(2).find('a').withText('Edit')
```

- `within` blocks can return values. See [updated documentation](https://codecept.io/basics/#within).
- Removed doublt call to `_init` in helpers. Fixes issue #1036
- Added scenario and feature configuration via fluent API:

```js
Feature('checkout').timeout(3000).retry(2)

Scenario('user can order in firefox', I => {
  // see dynamic configuration
})
  .config({ browser: 'firefox' })
  .timeout(20000)

## 1.1.0

Major update to CodeceptJS. **NodeJS v 8.9.1** is now minimal Node version required.
This brings native async-await support to CodeceptJS. It is recommended to start using await for tests instead of generators:

```js
;async () => {
  I.amOnPage('/page')
  const url = await I.grabTextFrom('.nextPage')
  I.amOnPage(url)
}
```

Thanks to [@Apshenkin](https://github.com/apshenkin) for implementation. Also, most helpers were refactored to use async-await. This made our code simpler. We hope that this encourages more users to send pull requests!

We also introduced strict ESLint policies for our codebase. Thanks to [@Galkin](https://github.com/galkin) for that.

- **[Puppeteer] Helper introduced**. [Learn how to run tests headlessly with Google Chrome's Puppeteer](http://codecept.io/puppeteer/).
- [SeleniumWebdriver] Helper is deprecated, it is recommended to use Protractor with config option `angular: false` instead.
- [WebDriverIO] nested iframe support in the within block by @reubenmiller. Example:

```js
within({frame: ['#wrapperId', '[name=content]']}, () => {
  I.click('Sign in!');
  I.see('Email Address');
});
I.see('Nested Iframe test');
I.dontSee('Email Address');
});
```

- [WebDriverIO] Support for `~` locator to find elements by `aria-label`. This behavior is similar as it is in Appium and helps testing cross-platform React apps. Example:

```html
<Text accessibilityLabel="foobar"> CodeceptJS is awesome </Text>
```

↑ This element can be located with `~foobar` in WebDriverIO and Appium helpers. Thanks to @flyskywhy

- Allow providing arbitrary objects in config includes by @rlewan

## 1.0

CodeceptJS hits first stable release. CodeceptJS provides a unified API for [web testing for Webdriverio](http://codecept.io/acceptance/), [Protractor](http://codecept.io/angular/), and [NightmareJS](http://codecept.io/nightmare/). Since 1.0 you can also **test mobile applications** in the similar manner with Appium.

Sample test:

```js
I.seeAppIsInstalled("io.super.app");
I.click('~startUserRegistrationCD');
I.fillField('~email of the customer', 'Nothing special'));
I.see('davert@codecept.io', '~email of the customer'));
I.clearField('~email of the customer'));
I.dontSee('Nothing special', '~email of the customer'));
```

- Read [the Mobile Testing guide](http://codecept.io/mobile).
- Discover [Appium Helper](http://codecept.io/helpers/Appium/)

---

We also introduced two new **helpers for data management**.
Using them you can easily prepare and cleanup data for your tests using public REST API.

Sample test

```js
// create a user using data factories and REST API
I.have('user', { name: 'davert', password: '123456' })
// use it to login
I.amOnPage('/login')
I.fillField('login', 'davert')
I.fillField('password', '123456')
I.click('Login')
I.see('Hello, davert')
// user will be removed after the test
```

- [REST Helper](http://codecept.io/helpers/REST)
- [ApiDataFactory](http://codecept.io/helpers/ApiDataFactory/)

---

Next notable feature is **[SmartWait](http://codecept.io/acceptance/#smartwait)** for WebDriverIO, Protractor, SeleniumWebdriver. When `smartwait` option is set, script will wait for extra milliseconds to locate an element before failing. This feature uses implicit waits of Selenium but turns them on only in applicable pieces. For instance, implicit waits are enabled for `seeElement` but disabled for `dontSeeElement`
