[Feature] Manually clear waitsFors... #8418

Closed HyperCrowd closed 3 years ago

HyperCrowd commented 3 years ago

The webpage I'm trying to scrape is loaded to the gills with bad SPA practices, annoying anti-scrape features, an extremely slow server with random response times that require me to read console log output to determine progress, and all around terrible programming that makes it a real challenge to scrape properly.

I have to have multiple waitFors... established to account for different outcomes. I would like the ability to clear waits manually if possible. (Like clearInterval or clearTimeout in JavaScript). This will allow me to close all waits and then close the page without throwing errors every single time.

Does this feature exist?

Playwright is a framework for testing, not scraping.
