Ugh, playwright locators can be such a headache! I’ve found that mixing `getByRole` with `getByLabel` works better for forms. Like, `page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Username' })` is way more reliable than just `getByText`.

And yeah, don’t overcomplicate chains. If your selector looks like a novel, it’s probably gonna break.

Pro tip: Use Playwright’s `locator.highlight()` to see if it’s targeting the right thing before running the test.
