Instead of using page.wait_for_timeout()
, you can rely on Playwright's built-in auto-waiting mechanism to ensure stable and reliable scripts when dealing with dynamic web applications. Playwright automatically waits for elements to become actionable before performing actions like page.click()
.
Here's how Playwright checks the actionability of an element:
To set a default timeout value for all actions, use the setDefaultTimeout()
method provided by browserContext
or page
objects. This way, you won't have to specify timeout values explicitly every time you perform an action.
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('Wait for a specific duration before refreshing', async ({ page }) => {
await page.setDefaultTimeout(10000); // Set default timeout to 10 seconds
await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
await page.click('#someElement');
// Playwright will automatically wait for the element to become actionable
await page.reload();
// Continue with your test
});
Additionally, you can use the noWaitAfter
option if you want to opt out of waiting for navigations and pages loading after performing an action that initiates navigation. This can be useful when navigating to inaccessible pages or when you don't want your script execution time to increase due to unnecessary waiting.
await page.click('#someElement', { noWaitAfter: true });
By using Playwright's auto-waiting mechanism and setting default timeouts, you can ensure a stable and reliable way to wait for a specific duration before refreshing a page.
