Timeouts

KWIKQA has multiple configurable timeouts for various tasks.

Timeout	Default	Description
Test timeout	30000 ms	Timeout for each test, includes test, hooks, and fixtures:
		- SET DEFAULT: config = { timeout: 60000 }
		- OVERRIDE: test.setTimeout(120000)
Expect timeout	5000 ms	Timeout for each assertion:
		- SET DEFAULT: config = { expect: { timeout: 10000 } }
		- OVERRIDE: expect(locator).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 })

Test timeout

KWIKQA Test enforces a timeout for each test, 30 seconds by default. Time spent by the test function, fixtures, beforeEach and afterEach hooks is included in the test timeout.

Timed out test produces the following error:

example.spec.ts:3:1 › basic test ===========================

Timeout of 30000ms exceeded.

The same timeout value also applies to beforeAll and afterAll hooks, but they do not share time with any test.

Set test timeout in the config

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

export default defineConfig({
  timeout: 5 * 60 * 1000,
});

Expect timeout

Web-first assertions like expect(locator).toHaveText() have a separate timeout, 5 seconds by default. Assertion timeout is unrelated to the test timeout.

It produces the following error:

example.spec.ts:3:1 › basic test ===========================

Error: expect(received).toHaveText(expected)

Expected string: "my text"
Received string: ""
Call log:
  - expect.toHaveText with timeout 5000ms
  - waiting for "locator('button')"

Set expect timeout in the config

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

export default defineConfig({
  expect: {
    timeout: 10 * 1000,
  },
});
