How do I modify the global expect timeout in Playwright Test?

Answer

Yes, you can modify the global expect timeout in Playwright Test by updating your playwright.config.ts file. The default expect timeout is 5 seconds for web-first assertions like expect(locator).toHaveText(). To change it, use defineConfig() from @playwright/test and set a new value for expect.timeout.

Here's an example of how to set a global expect timeout of 10 seconds:

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

export default defineConfig({
  expect: {
    timeout: 10000,
  },
});

This change will apply the new 10-second timeout to all web-first assertions in your tests. However, be cautious when modifying timeouts, as it may affect test performance and reliability. Consider the impact on your tests before making any changes.

Thank you!
