Bugfixes

* fix: fulfill with json in https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python/pull/1701

Highlights

New APIs

- New method [`Route.fetch`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-fetch) and new option `json` for [`Route.fulfill`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-fulfill):

python
def handle_route(route: Route):
Fetch original settings.
response = route.fetch()
Force settings theme to a predefined value.
json = response.json()
json["theme"] = "Solorized"
Fulfill with modified data.
route.fulfill(json=json)
page.route("**/api/settings", handle_route)


- New method [`Locator.all`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-all) to iterate over all matching elements:

python
Check all checkboxes!
checkboxes = page.get_by_role("checkbox")
for checkbox in checkboxes.all():
checkbox.check()


- [`Locator.select_option`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-select-option) matches now by value or label:

html
<select multiple>
<option value="red">Red</div>
<option value="green">Green</div>
<option value="blue">Blue</div>
</select>


python
element.select_option("Red")


Miscellaneous

- Option `postData` in method [`Route.continue`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-route#route-continue) now supports any values.

Locators

With these new APIs, inspired by [Testing Library](https://testing-library.com/), writing locators is a joy:
- [`page.get_by_text(text)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-text) to locate by text content.
- [`page.get_by_role(role)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-role) to locate by [ARIA role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](https://w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name).
- [`page.get_by_label(label)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-label) to locate a form control by associated label's text.
- [`page.get_by_placeholder(placeholder)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-placeholder) to locate an input by placeholder.
- [`page.get_by_alt_text(altText)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-alt-text) to locate an element, usually image, by its text alternative.
- [`page.get_by_title(title)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-get-by-title) to locate an element by its title.

js
page.get_by_label("User Name").fill("John")

page.get_by_label("Password").fill("secret-password")

page.get_by_role("button", name="Sign in").click()

expect(page.get_by_text("Welcome, John!")).to_be_visible()


All the same methods are also available on [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator), [FrameLocator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator) and [Frame](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-frame) classes.

Other highlights

- As announced in v1.25, Ubuntu 18 will not be supported as of Dec 2022. In addition to that, there will be no WebKit updates on Ubuntu 18 starting from the next Playwright release.

Behavior Changes

- [`expect(locator).to_have_attribute(name, value)`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/test-assertions#locator-assertions-to-have-attribute) with an empty value does not match missing attribute anymore. For example, the following snippet will succeed when `button` **does not** have a `disabled` attribute.

python
expect(page.get_by_role("button")).to_have_attribute("disabled", "")
