Any way to set timeouts globally when using Artillary with Playwright and typescript??

[veletron2]

Trying to set timeouts for Artillary/Playwright in a .ts file globally./ Any way to do this, preferably inline within the .ts file.

I have tried the following to no avail, timeouts still 5000ms:

export const config = {
    target: 'https://localhost/sentinel',
    phases: [
    {
      duration: '5m',
      arrivalRate: 10,
      maxVusers: 50
    }
    ],
    variables: {
        patientID: "{{ $randomString() }}"
    },
  engines: {
      playwright: {
          launchOptions: {
              headless: true,
              timeout: 60000,

              // For browser actions
              use: {
                  actionTimeout: 20000,
              },

              // For expect calls
              expect: {
                  timeout: 10000, 
              },
          },
          
          
      defaultTimeout: 60000
    },
  }
};
 
export const scenarios = [{
  engine: 'playwright',
    testFunction: test,  
    timeout: 60000,

    // For browser actions
    use: {
        actionTimeout: 20000,
    },

    // For expect calls
    expect: {
        timeout: 10000,
    },
}];

The only way I can make a timeout actually work is to declare it per line, which is exceedingly tedious:

await expect(page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Patients' })).toBeVisible({ timeout: 60000 });

hi @veletron2 - there's no way to customize expect()-specific timeout yet. We'll need to take a look at how Playwright Test Runner passes that timeout over to expect() calls.

@veletron2 I came across the same issue and it was frustrating! But I found this earlier discussion on the topic:

#2728

And a solution I've found it to create a utility file with the following code:

import { expect as baseExpect } from "@playwright/test";
import playwrightConfig from "../../playwright.config";

export const configuredExpect = baseExpect.configure({
    timeout: playwrightConfig.expect!.timeout, // set it for both playwright and artillery
});

export const expect = configuredExpect;

Which overrides the standard expect function in Playwright, then import this expect in your test & page object files to use instead and it will now use the timeout from your playwright config file.
