waitForTimeout no longer supported by Puppeteer

[fernandoacorreia]

The page.waitForTimeout() method has been removed from Puppeteer starting with version v22.0.0.

This project requires "puppeteer": "^24.11.2".

When running e2e tests, they fail with the error Property 'waitForTimeout' does not exist on type 'Page'.

The fix is to refactor the tests to wait for specific conditions using waitForSelector, waitForXPath, waitForFunction and other similar methods.

❯ npm run test:e2e

> jest --config jest.config.js

ts-jest[config] (WARN) message TS151001: If you have issues related to imports, you should consider setting `esModuleInterop` to `true` in your TypeScript configuration file (usually `tsconfig.json`).
