Testing · Junior · Question 63 of 78

Do you need `sleep`/`waitForTimeout` before clicking in Playwright?

✓Correct answer: No: actions wait automatically until the element is visible, stable, enabled and receives events
2Yes: always wait a second before each click
3Yes, but only in headless mode

Explanation

Fixed waits make tests slow and still flaky. Rely on auto-waiting and web-first assertions.
