Pull request overview
This PR improves Playwright E2E test stability by hardening the visitEntityPage utility against UI tooltip overlays that can block click interactions (notably in entity dropdown selections).
Changes:
- Adds a hover step before clicking the entity option to reduce tooltip overlap.
- Uses a forced click (with ESLint suppression) as a fallback when the element remains obstructed.

Fixes #28750
This pull request introduces a small but important improvement to the Playwright test utility for visiting entity pages. The change addresses a UI automation issue where tooltips can interfere with clicking on options, causing test failures.
The failure was frequently observed in ServiceIngestion.spec.ts runs where the option was at the bottom of the dropdown, and the table header sort tooltip was overlapping the option, causing the click operation to fail.
entity.ts, updated the click action on the entity name to first hover over the element and then perform a forced click. This approach helps avoid failures caused by tooltip overlaps interfering with Playwright's ability to click the option.
