📣 Introducing UI Mode (preview)


<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF0yA-JLQW0"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/746130/227044467-b4db82dc-c7fa-40d7-a0c8-8f702581c3b9.png" width=340></a>

New UI Mode lets you explore, run and debug tests. Comes with a built-in watch mode.


Engage with a new flag `--ui`:

sh
npx playwright test --ui


New APIs

- New options `option: updateMode` and `option: updateContent` in [`page.routeFromHAR()`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-route-from-har) and [`browserContext.routeFromHAR()`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-route-from-har).
- Chaining existing locator objects, see [locator docs](https://playwright.dev/docs/locators#chaining-locators) for details.
- New property [`TestInfo.testId`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testinfo#test-info-test-id).
- New option `name` in method [`Tracing.startChunk()`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-start-chunk).


⚠️ Breaking change in component tests

Note: **component tests only**, does not affect end-to-end tests.

* `playwright/experimental-ct-react` now supports **React 18 only**.
* If you're running component tests with React 16 or 17, please replace
`playwright/experimental-ct-react` with `playwright/experimental-ct-react17`.
