Since Codecept 3.6.9, our test that looks for a date time doesn't find it (but it's there)

Start with lib/helper/Playwright.js:2854, where the failure is reported, and the calling test at codecept/user-logs.spec.js:39. Reproduce the regression with Playwright 1.49.1 across CodeceptJS 3.6.7 and 3.6.9, then inspect the waitForText behavior and add a regression test if the cause can be isolated. Done means the visible timestamp is found without weakening unrelated text checks.

Hi, we're seeing this issue and we've tried pinning to older versions - 3.6.7 is OK.

What are you trying to achieve?

We have a test that's been passing up until now and does so with 3.6.7.

I can't use 3.6.8 because of Error: Cannot find module 'invisi-data' (I noticed a hotfix around this in the commits).

It started failing today (it could have failed sooner, we only noticed it today).

What do you get instead?

The following (I've noticed the UI here says 3.6.2, but when I do an npm list I am on 3.6.7, 3.6.8, or 3.6.9 depending on the test I am doing - we want to be on the latest and tried downgrading twice and as part of that verified 3.6.7 is ok).

This looks to me like it finds our text and then says it hasn't...

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

1) User Logs
       It renders a User Log table:
     Text "2024-09-05 04:14:32.000" was not found on page after 1 sec.
      at Playwright.waitForText (node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/helper/Playwright.js:2854:26)
      at async Test.<anonymous> (codecept/user-logs.spec.js:39:3)
  
  

  2) User Logs
       It renders a new User Log table:
     Text "2024-09-06 10:14:50.000" was not found on page after 1 sec.

Sorry - I don't have a minimal reproduce yet - we basically have a simple logging page and we're looking for an event time on it in a row

Scenario('It renders a User Log table', async ({ I }) => {
  I.amOnPage('http://localhost:5057/iframe.html?args=&id=demo-logs-page--renders-correctly&viewMode=story')

  I.waitForText('Logs', 10)

  await sleep(10000)

  // Check there is a table
  I.seeElement('.IntegrationDataTable')
  I.seeNumberOfVisibleElements('.UserLogsPage__Table tbody tr[data-parent-row="true"]', 14)
  I.see('14 of 10000')

  // Check column headings
  I.see('Event time (UTC)')
  I.see('Message')
  I.see('Transaction ID')
  I.see('Flow ID')
  I.see('Log level')

  // Check first row
  let firstRow = locate('.UserLogsPage__Table tbody tr[data-parent-row="true"]').first()
  console.log('first', firstRow)

  await within(firstRow, () => {
    I.waitForText('2024-09-05 04:14:32.000') <---------- see here
  })
