[Feature] Add ability to change testInfo?.project._expect?.timeout parameter in method currentExpectTimeout() for custom test runner

[abay-ibrayev]

We are using mocha-based runner. And we started to use expect from @playwright/test lib.

Main Issue: We are not able to change default timeout from 5000ms to 30000ms.

Feature request: Could u please provide ability to change not only from PlaywrightTestConfig?

PlaywrightTestConfig - works only with pw test runner (so provide expect.timeout here not working for us)

[yury-s]

expect from @playwright/test is supposed to be used only within Playwright Test runner. Making it a standalone library is not a goal for playwright and we have no plans changing that.

Is there a reason you cannot use playwright test runner?

[abay-ibrayev]

ok, got it, it's sad but thanks anyway. Unfortunately, our test framework have a lot of dependencies from mocha runner across all project, so it's a big task for us switching to pw test runner :c

I am struggling with same problem right now. I am using cucumber-js with playwright and I need increase except timeout. But I can't because cucumber-js ignore playwright.config.ts file. Can somebody tell me if there is some workarround please?

I don't want to write function which rewrite file packages/playwright/src/common/globals.ts in node_modules directory in order to increase timeout 🙈 But I don't see any other solution.
