Click is not recognized sporadically in the 3.3.0 version

What are you trying to achieve?

The test tries to click the sign in button on a login page.

What do you get instead?

When I’m watching closely the scenario run, it is obvious that the click happened as the usual authentication URL appears after login, however, it seems from the logs that the click was not recognized and the test retries it (but it doesn’t succeed as obviously the sign in button is not visible anymore).

Important notes

• the issue is sporadic but happens quite often
• the issue is only reproducible with the Codecept 3.3.0 version (I tried the 3.2.3 version as well and the issue did not occurr)
• so far I experienced this issue only with this one element

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

This could be realted to Playwright 1.18 or because of timeout was lowered to 5s

Please try to increase timeout value in Playwright config:

helpers: {
  Playwright: {
    /// ... 
    timeout: 20000,
  }
}

Thank you @DavertMik , increasing the timeout worked.
