How to fix issue that deprecated page.waitForTimeout() method usage

The page.waitForTimeout() method in Playwright is deprecated because it relies on hardcoded delays, which can lead to flaky tests. Playwright recommends using more reliable, condition-based waiting methods that adapt to the page's state. Below, I’ll guide you through identifying and replacing page.waitForTimeout() usage with appropriate alternatives.

Better Alternatives: 

Playwright offers methods like waitForSelector, waitForFunction, or waitForResponse to wait for specific conditions, making tests more robust.

Replace with a Delay Utility Function

 if you need to sleep to help debug code temporarily, or you're writing a quick and dirty script which doesn't need to be reliable, you can use a plain Node wait:

test.only('set timeout using node', async ({ page }) => {   
    
    // ...
    await setTimeout(3000);
    console.log("print log after that...");  

  });

Also possible  is promisifying setTimeout yourself, which is useful if you're sleeping in the browser context:

test.only('set timeout using promise', async ({ page }) => {

    const sleep = (time) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, time));

    // ...
    await sleep(29000);
    console.log("print log after that...");
  });

This is all about page timeout in playwright.
