monitor api response time?
This thread is trying to answer question "How can I monitor the API response time with the help of Playwright TS?"
Simple example could be.
const start = Date.now();
<MAKE API REQUEST HERE>
const finish = Date.now();
const responseTime = (finish - start) / 1000;
console.log(responseTime);
expect(responseTime).toBeLessThan(0.25); //less than 250msI don't think this is built into Playwright yet, but if you create a feature request on github I'll add my support!

Answer
Sure, let's dive into how you can monitor API response time with Playwright in TypeScript.
First, you need to import the expect function from @playwright/test.
import { expect } from '@playwright/test';Then, use the expect function with an async arrow function to make the API request and check its response status. You can set custom timeout intervals for retrying the assertion with the toPass method.
await expect(async () => {
const response = await page.request.get('https://ray.run');
expect(response.status()).toBe(200);
}).toPass({
intervals: [1000, 2000, 10000],
timeout: 60000
});In this example, Playwright will retry the assertion at intervals of 1000, 2000, and 10000 milliseconds until it passes or the 60-second timeout is reached.
This approach lets you ensure your API calls respond within acceptable limits. If an assertion fails or times out during any interval within the timeout period, an error is thrown.
