Fix InvalidArgumentError
in Kibana
✅ Solution
InvalidArgumentError in Kibana UI tests often arises from attempting to interact with DOM elements before they are fully rendered and accessible. To fix this, implement explicit waits using `await page.waitForSelector('your-selector')` or similar methods before interacting with elements to ensure they are fully present in the DOM, allowing the test to proceed without error. Additionally, consider increasing the default timeout or using `try...catch` blocks around potentially problematic interactions.
