### Component Tests Update

* Support for component tests for [create-react-app](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-app) with components in `.js` files.
Read more about [component testing with Playwright](./test-components).
### Miscellaneous
* If there's a service worker that's in your way, you can now easily disable it with a new context option `serviceWorkers`:
```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
export default {
use: {
serviceWorkers: 'block',
}
};
```
* Using `.zip` path for `recordHar` context option automatically zips the resulting HAR:
```ts
const context = await browser.newContext({
recordHar: {
path: 'github.har.zip',
}
});
```
* If you intend to edit HAR by hand, consider using the `"minimal"` HAR recording mode
that only records information that is essential for replaying:
```ts
const context = await browser.newContext({
recordHar: {
path: 'github.har',
mode: 'minimal',
}
});
```
* Playwright now runs on Ubuntu 22 amd64 and Ubuntu 22 arm64. We also publish new docker image `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.34.0-jammy`.
### ⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️
WebServer is now considered "ready" if request to the specified url has any of the following HTTP status codes:
* `200-299`
