[REGRESSION]: test.setTimeout(0) no longer works

[alisterscott]

Context:

• GOOD Playwright Version: 1.19.2
• BAD Playwright Version: 1.20.0
• Operating System: MacOS

Code Snippet

  test.only('can help with manual testing', async ({ page }) => {
    test.setTimeout(0) // no timeout
    await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/')
    await page.pause()
  })

Describe the bug

A timeout of 0 is great for using a Playwright test to launch a browser to do some actions. This doesn't work in 1.20.0 as the browser always closes after 30 seconds

The java version is also affected (v1.20)

I'm discovering the library and this behavior definitely got me confused :)

@Test
void PlaywrightTest() {
    Playwright playwright = Playwright.create();
    BrowserType browserType = playwright.chromium();
    Browser browser = browserType.launch(
            new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false)
    );
    BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(
            new Browser.NewContextOptions().setViewportSize(800, 600)
    );
    Page page = context.newPage();
    page.navigate(getRootUrl());

    page.pause(); // <-- some timeout triggers here, causing the browser window to close

    page.context().close();
    playwright.close();
}

Reverting to 1.19 did fix the problem (meaning page.pause() keeps the browser window open forever)

// pom.xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.microsoft.playwright</groupId>
  <artifactId>playwright</artifactId>
  <version>1.19.0</version>
</dependency>

Great work btw, this tool is a pleasure to use!

I think this is #12974. Actually closes after a minute, and only with inspector window on MacOS. Updating to v1.20.1 should fix the issue. Thank you for filing!

I was on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS btw.

v1.20.1 works perfectly for me indeed. Thanks @dgozman!
