I set timeout parameter for waitForURL() function, but the timeout show on error still 30s instead of 60s

This thread is trying to answer question "Why is the timeout for waitForURL() function not working as expected?"

The error is for test timeout. RTFM link : https://playwright.dev/docs/test-timeouts

You can change test timeout in config...

import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  timeout: 60_000,
});

or, in your test file...

test.setTimeout(60_000);

@shivaguy: Thank you, btw can you explain the difference of timeout param in waitForURL() and timeout in defineConfig?

defineConfig({ timeout }) is the test timeout, that is, if your test doesn't complete within the given time limit, Playwright throws. waitForURL({ timeout }) is the timeout for that particular call of waitForURL, that is, if URL is not reached within the specified time limit, Playwright throws.

@shivaguy: Yeah. I got it. It means timeout of a wait function always must less than or equal the test timeout (by default is 30000ms). Thanks for your explaination.
