Quick Fix Steps

  1. Verify Network Connectivity: Ensure gitlab-ci has access to the target URL.
  2. Increase Navigation Timeout: Add page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(60000).
  3. Check Resource Limits: Increase memory/CPU if running in Docker or CI.

Playwright Debugging Script

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('debug name-not-resolved in gitlab-ci', async ({ page }) => {
  // Set explicit timeouts for debugging
  page.setDefaultTimeout(45000);
  
  try {
    await page.goto('https://your-app.com', { waitUntil: 'networkidle' });
    // Add logic to trigger the error
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Captured Error in gitlab-ci:', error.message);
    throw error;
  }
});
