I've had some issues with Cypress selectors randomly failing to find matching elements, even though they are clearly present. Like if I run the same script 10 times it goes through ~7 times. I wanted to try Playwright for another application to avoid such issues.
And then I was very surprised to get almost the exact same issues with Playwright. Running against a different application with different test cases.
Has anyone else had issues like this with React applications? It's very annoying to not be able to write repeatable tests.
I should definitely try that the next time I'm working on this issue. Maybe I can get some kind of small example as well if possible. But replicating the problematic conditions is probably hard.

Were you able to use the DOM snapshots to debug why the selectors did not resolve? Would love to know more.

Got less once I started using dom-testing-library :)
