We just taught Rocky AI — the Checkly AI agent — a new skill: Rocky can now root cause analyze Playwright locator.click: Test timeout exceeded. Waiting for getByRole() errors with much more context and insights. Here’s a redacted example of an error that went from “timeout exceed” to a distinct correlation between a specific backend auth call timing out and the eventual UI failing.

This category of errors are a catch all for many underlying issues and were earlier classified too often as Playwright script errors, e.g. errors in either your frontend code or your test code.

Going forward, Rocky AI will cross reference failing XHR / fetch calls to give you a clearer insight if your DB or network was failing or if you made a typo in a CSS selector.
