In this video we'll dive into the world of flaky tests in Playwright and synthetic monitoring with Checkly. We examine a site with poor Frontend hydration patterns, their effect on test stability, and how to work around them. Learn how to avoid using artificial delays and implementing a retry mechanism with Playwright's 'toPass()' method to achieve stable testing instead. 0:00 Intro 0:38 Example of a poorly hydrated page 2:17 Recommended fix for poor hydration 3:32 Custom action retries with 'toPass()' 5:18 'toPass()' options 6:12 Running Playwright using the `--repeat-each` option 6:43 Outro Checkly Synthetic Monitoring: https://www.checklyhq.com/product/synthetic-monitoring/ Playwright 'toPass()' docs: https://playwright.dev/docs/test-assertions#expecttopass #playwright #testing #monitoring #syntheticmonitoring
