feat(cli): notify when a newer version is available on npm#426
Merged
Conversation
On startup the CLI checks the npm registry for a newer release at most once a day (result cached in the Playwright registry directory) and, when one is found, prints an update notice. Skipped when CI or NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER is set, and the check is best-effort so it never blocks or breaks the CLI.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should this one be npm install --save-dev?
