ROUTER DROPS NIGHTWATCH FOR PLAYWRIGHT, AXIOS TIGHTENS HTTP ADAPTER

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vue.js

Vue Router just migrated its entire E2E test suite to Playwright, running cross-browser for the first time in CI, while axios 1.16.0 lands a wave of adapter fixes that should smooth out your HTTP edge cases.

The Router team shipped a major testing overhaul [1] that ports all 9 test suites from the aging Nightwatch framework to Playwright, now executing across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit in parallel. This is a meaningful stability upgrade for the framework itself: Playwright's cross-browser coverage means regressions get caught earlier and more reliably than they were before. In parallel, axios 1.16.0 [2] lands substantial bug fixes across HTTP, fetch, and XHR adapters around redirects, aborts, headers, and timeouts, plus support for the QUERY HTTP method. For most projects, this is a quiet but welcome patch that tightens the rough edges in HTTP handling. The Vue testing ecosystem is also progressing: test-utils picked up oxfmt 0.52.0 [4] to keep formatter tooling current. Router docs also caught a formatting pass [3] to clean up the extending-routes guide.
