class: TimeoutError

• since: v1.8
• extends: [Error]

TimeoutError is emitted whenever certain operations are terminated due to timeout, e.g. [method: Locator.waitFor] or [method: BrowserType.launch].

(async () => {
  const browser = await playwright.chromium.launch();

  try {
    await page.locator('text=Foo').click({
      timeout: 100,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof playwright.errors.TimeoutError)
      console.log('Timeout!');
  }
  await browser.close();
})();
