I.fillField returns an error: elementHandle.type: Timeout 1000ms exceeded. elementHandle.type(<string here>)

See original GitHub issue

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to login, and will type the username and password I.fillField(), and should be able to successfully login. My string contains 42 characters

What do you get instead?

While typing the username which contains 42 characters, the system returns an error: elementHandle.type: Timeout 1000ms exceeded

Error message returned:

elementHandle.type: Timeout 1000ms exceeded.
=========================== logs ===========================
elementHandle.type("<my username here which consists 42 characters>")
============================================================

Sample code:

Feature("Login");

Scenario("Login code here", ({ I }) => {
  I.amOnPage("/");
  I.fillField(`//input[@id='username']`, "test-email-sandbox1@yopmail.com.inbox.mail");
  I.fillField(`//input[@id='password']`, secret("passwordhere"));
  I.click(`Log In`);
});

Thanks a lot @mirao, setting timeout under the Playwright helper fixed my issue.

I also agree to @ngraf, this can be improved by increasing the timeout as there are tests wherein we are required to type strings that has a lot of characters. Or maybe have an additional argument under the fillField function that we can explicitly add timeout depending on the string we will be inputting.
