What are some effective error retry strategies in Playwright?

In Playwright, you can implement retry strategies using the built-in retry option in your test configurations. This allows you to automatically retry failed tests a specified number of times.

Can you give me an example of how to set that up?

Sure! You can set it up in your test file like this: test('my test', async ({ page }) => { /* test code */ }, { retries: 2 }); This will retry the test up to 2 times if it fails.

What if I want to retry only specific actions within a test?

You can create a custom retry function for specific actions. For example, wrap your action in a function that handles retries based on the outcome.

Are there any best practices for using retries?

Yes, avoid overusing retries as they can mask underlying issues. Use them for flaky tests and ensure your tests are stable before relying on retries.
