End-to-end testing and synthetic monitoring of interactive apps and sites is challenging. It's especially tough when non-deterministic flows such as cookie banners or promotion popups interrupt your test automation.

This video teaches how to write Playwright tests that handle optional and surprising UI interactions.

Note: Stefan decreased the default action timeout in this video to avoid spending time waiting for `click()` to timeout. To achieve the same result, define `actionTimeout` in your `playwright.config` or use the action's `timeout` option.
