How can I handle errors effectively in Playwright?

In Playwright, you can handle errors using try-catch blocks, event listeners, and custom error handling functions.

Can you give me an example of using try-catch in a Playwright script?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

try {
    await page.goto('https://example.com');
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Navigation failed:', error);
}

What about handling network errors specifically?

For network errors, you can listen to the 'requestfailed' event on the page object. Here's how:

page.on('requestfailed', request => {
    console.error('Request failed:', request.url());
});

Are there any best practices for error handling in Playwright?

Yes, some best practices include logging errors, using retries for flaky tests, and structuring your tests to isolate failures.
