Description

Currently when using methods such as ClickAsync the timeout seems to be infinite unless specified through an options class when calling the method. I've had a look at the different timeout options on the Page object and also runsettings and these do not seem to impact the methods such as ClickAsync and ElementHandleAsync. I have however noticed that the NodeJS playwright has an ActionTimeout in the documentation https://playwright.dev/docs/test-timeouts#test-timeout

It would be great if we were able to set the action timeout in the runsettings file for our NUnit tests and potentially on the browser/page objects to prevent any potential test hangs and give feedback faster when creating tests if a locator is incorrect. Thanks

Research direction

Start by tracing how the existing Page timeout options and runsettings values are handled for methods such as ClickAsync and ElementHandleAsync. Compare the desired behavior with the NodeJS ActionTimeout documentation; the work is done when NUnit tests can configure a default action timeout through runsettings and, if supported, browser or page objects.
