Timeout

 

How Timeout Values Are Applied

1. Global Timeout in Config: The timeout value in playwright.config.ts sets a default timeout for all expect assertions if no specific timeout is provided in the test script.

2. Local Timeout in Tests: If a specific timeout is provided in a test script, it overrides the global timeout for that particular step or assertion.

Determining the Actual Timeout

• Global Timeout Only: If you only set the global timeout in the playwright.config.ts file, the timeout for each expect assertion will be the global timeout value (e.g., 5000 milliseconds in the example).
• Local Timeout Only: If you set a timeout for a specific step in your test script, that value will be used for that particular step (e.g., 10000 milliseconds in the example).
• Both Global and Local Timeout: When both global and local timeouts are set, the local timeout takes precedence for the specific step or assertion. The global timeout will apply to other steps or assertions without a specific timeout.
