What is the correct way to use the .waitFor() function in @playwright/test to wait for an element to appear upon page refresh?

Answer

I'm sorry, but without more specific details about the issue you're facing with the .waitFor() function in @playwright/test, it's hard to provide a definitive answer.

However, I can share a general approach to using .waitFor() function. This function is used to pause the execution of the test until a certain condition is met. It's particularly useful when you're dealing with elements that might take some time to appear on the page.

Here's a basic example in TypeScript:

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('wait for order link', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
  await page.waitForSelector('#order-link');
  const orderLink = await page.$('#order-link');
  expect(orderLink).toBeTruthy();
});

In this example, the test navigates to 'https://ray.run/', then waits for an element with the id 'order-link' to appear on the page. If the element appears within the default timeout period (30 seconds), the test continues. If not, the test fails.
