System.TimeoutException : Timeout 30000ms exceeded Playwright with .net 5 core application

Question

Is there any global setting for the .net application to overwrite the default configuration of the playwright? On the playwright documentation for node.js, it has documentation, however for the .net application there is a missing page and how can I change the default timeout.

Node.JS https://playwright.dev/docs/test-timeouts

// playwright.config.ts
import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  timeout: 5 * 60 * 1000,
};
export default config;

Getting an exception as

Answer 1

Playwright for .NET discourages using xunit see here. Also the playwright.config file does only work for Node.js.

I'd recommend to set the DEBUG=pw:api env var to get more logs. Most likely your site is not reachable or hangs.
