Python - Playwright timeout

I'm using Playwright to upload a file and download the result. When the inputfiles are large, and it takes a long time to process I get a timeout from playwright; it takes to long for the button "Download" to appear.

    raise exception
playwright._impl._api_types.TimeoutError: Timeout 30000.0ms exceeded while waiting for event "download"
=========================== logs ===========================
waiting for event "download"
============================================================

How can I let playwright wait longer on that specific event?

with page.expect_download() as download_info:
    page.locator("text=Download").click()
    #todo: wait longer?
download = download_info.value
# expect(page).to_have_url("http://localhost:8080/swagger/#/NER/post_ner")
path = download.path()
suggested_filename = file_out
download.save_as(suggested_filename)

Doc says you are going the right way

# Wait for the download process to complete and save the downloaded file somewhere
download.save_as("/path/to/save/at/" + download.suggested_filename)

But, looks like your button misclicked (is locator valid?) or some network event missed. So, play around expect(page.locator("text=Download")).to_be_enabled(timeout=100_000) first, then try to wrap something like that using network devTool:

with (
    page.expect_response(**/swagger/#/NER/post_ner) as response_info,
    page.expect_download() as download_info
):
    # 1. make sure you are on the right page
    page.goto(/navigate/to/download/view)
    response = response_info.value
    assert response.ok
    # 2. wait for button to enabled
    expect(page.locator("text=Download")).to_be_enabled()
    page.locator("text=Download").click()
 
download = download_info.value
path = download.path()
suggested_filename = file_out
download.save_as(suggested_filename)

Not sure if this will help, but I have used the code below successfully many times:

with page.expect_download(timeout=0) as download_info:

Setting timeout=0 causes it to wait for as long as it takes to download.

You can also set the timeout to 0 if your not concerned with it taking too long. Though this can lead to it potentially taking hours...or never end if it gets stuck loading. A timeout of some value other than 0 is probably best practice.

page.locator("text=Download").click(timeout=0)

If you know that the click will take a while, you can set a timeout:

page.locator("text=Download").click(timeout=60000)
