Code Snippet

Help us help you! Put down a short code snippet that illustrates your bug and
that we can run and debug locally. For example:

const {chromium, webkit, firefox} = require('playwright');

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


import {test as setup, expect} from '@playwright/test';
import {getBaseUrl, getSddcId} from '../config';

const authFile = 'playwright/.auth/user.json';

setup('authenticate as admin', async ({page}) => {

    // Perform authentication steps. Replace these actions with your own.
    const env: string = process.env.env || 'stg';
    console.log("Running tc on sddc:", getSddcId());
    await page.goto(getBaseUrl());
    await page.goto(getBaseUrl() + 'login?redirectPath=%2Fsearch');
    await page.locator('[data-test-id="discovery_username"]').click({timeout: 30000});
}

Describe the bug
The tcs is failing recently in playwright in headless mode and is passing headed mode.
The error it gives in headless :

Retry #3 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Test timeout of 30000ms exceeded.

Error: locator.click: Target closed

whereas when ran in headed mode
test_mode=stg npx playwright test --headed

We couldn't reproduce it locally due to incomplete source code. We need to run it in order to diagnose the problem.

You need exact source code as in playwright config ?
