## Custom Expect Message
* langs: python

You can specify a custom error message as a second argument to the `expect` function, for example:

```python
expect(page.get_by_text("Name"), "should be logged in").to_be_visible()
```

The error would look like this:

```bash
    def test_foobar(page: Page) -> None:
>       expect(page.get_by_text("Name"), "should be logged in").to_be_visible()
E       AssertionError: should be logged in
E       Actual value: None 
E       Call log:
E       LocatorAssertions.to_be_visible with timeout 5000ms
E       waiting for get_by_text("Name")
E       waiting for get_by_text("Name")

tests/test_foobar.py:22: AssertionError
```

## Setting a custom timeout
* langs: python

You can specify a custom timeout for assertions either globally or per assertion. The default timeout is 5 seconds.

### Global timeout

```python title="conftest.py"
from playwright.sync_api import expect

expect.set_options(timeout=10_000)
```

### Per assertion timeout

```python title="test_foobar.py"
from playwright.sync_api import expect

def test_foobar(page: Page) -> None:
    expect(page.get_by_text("Name")).to_be_visible(timeout=10_000)
```
