playwright failed to load synthetic data console error timeout failure blocked

TL;DR

Fix this in Playwright by acting on the exact message first: capture the network log on the failed load, switch the wait strategy to a concrete console element, restore saved authentication state before navigation, and treat a login redirect as an authentication problem, not a page problem. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one table, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in Playwright fails with this exact message or symptom: playwright failed to load synthetic data console - timeout failure blocked.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Generation, validation or export is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in Playwright, and copy the full message plus the table, column or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: capture the network log on the failed load, switch the wait strategy to a concrete console element, restore saved authentication state before navigation, and treat a login redirect as an authentication problem, not a page problem. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named column, table or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring tables, columns or jobs that share the same config, schema or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Playwright on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts, distributions or status against the source in Playwright so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Console apps render behind authentication and client side routing, so a bare navigation wait times out whenever the session is stale or the app shell loads slowly.

The verbatim form searchers paste from the terminal or console. Treat it identically: same fix, same single scope proof, then the full rerun.

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in Playwright. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Playwright troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: Playwright at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.
