Add playwright.config.ts

[DerZyklop]

I tried to add a playwright config file. But I could not get it to work.

The config file’s content looks like this:

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

export default defineConfig({
	expect: {
		/** Timeout for each test in milliseconds. */
		timeout: 1234,
	},
});

What i tried was:

• Just put playwright.config.ts into the root folder as playwright’s docs say
• add --require playwright.config.ts in cucumber.js
• add a defineConfig call to the top of the custom-world.ts:

defineConfig({
	expect: {
		/** Timeout for each test in milliseconds. */
		timeout: 1234,
	},
});

The default value of expect.timeout is 5000. I have one test which takes longer as the default timeout. With all of the things i tried it always showed the error Timed out 5000ms waiting for expect(locator).toBeVisible(), which shows that my timeout 1234 did not reach playwright.

You can specify timeout on a specific action. Sadly, the playwright team did not expose an option to set a timeout in the playwright library, only in playwright test runner, which is not used by this repository.
You might want to file an issue asking for it on their repository.
