Playwright Test - Wait for checkbox / radio button state

Question

I currently have an issue where I need to wait for a checkbox / radio button to be "checked" before I proceed with my testing.

If I assert the checkbox is checked the test fails because it doesn't have the checked state immediately after the action.

How does one go about this through playwright commands. Yes I can add a hardcoded timeout, but I feel like there is a better way.

Is the checkbox connected to an API call? you can use page.waitForResponse in that case. — Judith Hartmann

It looks like in version 1.21.0 of playwright they have added a polling assertion:

// Poll the method until it returns an expected result.
await expect.poll(async () => {
  const response = await page.request.get('https://api.example.com');
  return response.status();
}).toBe(200);

page.isChecked(selector, {timeout:5000})

Maybe this can help.

Thanks, I have tried this (Added the timeout too and no luck), however, it still fails. I think its because the locator is visible, its just returns false, or true in the cases where I'm waiting for it to become 'unchecked'

In that case you can create fluent wait, and ping by intervals.
