#How to improve the running time?

There are several ways to improve the running time:

1. Use instant action interface like agent.aiTap('Login Button') instead of agent.ai('Click Login Button').
2. Use a lower resolution if possible, this will reduce the input token cost.
3. Change to a faster model service
4. Use caching to accelerate the debug process. Read more about it in Caching.

#The webpage continues to flash when running in headed mode

It's common when the viewport deviceScaleFactor does not match your system settings. Setting it to 2 in OSX will solve the issue.

await page.setViewport({
  deviceScaleFactor: 2,
});

#Where are the report files saved?

The report files are saved in ./midscene-run/report/ by default.

#How do I control the report player's default replay style via a link?

You can override the default values of the Focus on cursor and Show element markers toggles by adding query parameters to the report URL, which determines whether the report highlights the cursor position and element markers. Use focusOnCursor and showElementMarkers with values such as true, false, 1, or 0. For example: ...?focusOnCursor=false&showElementMarkers=true.

#Customize the network timeout

When doing interaction or navigation on web page, Midscene automatically waits for the network to be idle. It's a strategy to ensure the stability of the automation. Nothing would happen if the waiting process is timeout.

The default timeout is configured as follows:

1. If it's a page navigation, the default wait timeout is 5000ms (the waitForNavigationTimeout)
2. If it's a click, input, etc., the default wait timeout is 2000ms (the waitForNetworkIdleTimeout)

You can also customize or disable the timeout by options:

• Use waitForNetworkIdleTimeout and waitForNavigationTimeout parameters in Agent.
• Use waitForNetworkIdle parameter in Yaml or PlaywrightAiFixture.
