Release notes describing the changes in the @axe-core/watcher package for version 3.0.0 and later

3.11.1 (June 20, 2024)

Fixed a problem where return values from external setupNodeEvents handlers in Cypress weren't propagated.
Changed behavior to allow Cypress's Chrome extension to be loaded.

Addressed a problem where unmounting and remounting of the DOM would cause accessibility scans to timeout in Cypress.
Relaxed the browser detection logic to avoid failing even when using supported browsers.
Removed file-system writes when flushing results in Cypress.

Fixed a problem in Cypress where the config object returned from setupNodeEvents wasn't propagated correctly and any changes made to it were lost.
Fixed the implementation of proxied functions (for Playwright Test) that had resulted in an error with Locator objects: can be only used with Locator object.
Wrapped two new Playwright functions from the 1.43.1 release.

Update the emitted JavaScript to target ECMAScript 2018 (ES2018) instead of ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015).

In the Cypress integration, prevent after:run events if no tests ran.
Changed the download URL format for Chromedriver because the Chromedriver team moved to a new hosting solution. Impacts WebdriverIO.

Fixed a problem where calling Playwright's Page.goto() method would incorrectly record two page states.
Fixed a problem in the Cypress integration that caused certain user configurations of setupNodeEvents to be ignored.
Added eventemitter3 as a required dependency.
Wrapped some Playwright methods that hadn't been wrapped before.

Fixed a problem where page states were lost or errors occurred when tests caused page navigations.
Removed some redundant code from the Cypress integration.

To address cases where analyze() was unexpectedly not called, the following functions needed to be deprecated and replaced:

Deprecated function	New function
wrapPlaywright(browserContext, controller)	wrapPlaywrightPage(page, controller)
wrapPuppeteer(context, controller)	wrapPuppeteerPage(page, controller)
