When <EnablePlaywright> is defined in a project file, MSTest SDK currently brings in Playwright for .NET v1.58 through the MicrosoftPlaywrightVersion property.
Since then, Playwright for .NET has advanced to v1.60, with v1.61 expected imminently (the Node.js implementation has already released v1.61). As a result, users relying on the minimal MSTest SDK setup are missing recent Playwright features, fixes, and improvements unless they explicitly override the bundled version.
Proposed Change
Update MicrosoftPlaywrightVersion in Directory.Package.props to the latest stable Playwright for .NET release.
Benefits
- Provides access to the latest Playwright features and bug fixes out of the box.
- Keeps the MSTest SDK Playwright integration aligned with the current Playwright ecosystem.
- Reduces the need for version overrides in projects using the minimal MSTest SDK configuration with
<EnablePlaywright>.
