Error message

not allowed to upload result to k6 Cloud

What it means

Frame.IsDisabled() (frame.go:1488) wraps the isDisabled action failure as 'checking is %q disabled'. The action waits for a selector match in the attached state within Timeout and queries the element's 'disabled' state with a zero timeout (the state itself is not waited on). Wrapped errors are selector timeouts, strict-mode violations, frame/context destruction during the check, or failures of the injected state script.

Solutions

1. Wait for the element first: await page.waitForSelector(sel, { state: 'attached', timeout: 10000 }).
2. Narrow the selector (data-testid) to avoid strict-mode violations.
3. Run the check on the correct frame.
4. Increase timeout for slow pages: page.isDisabled(sel, { timeout: 60000 }).

Example fix

// before
const off = await page.isDisabled('#submit');

// after
const btn = page.locator('#submit');
await btn.waitFor({ state: 'attached', timeout: 10000 });
const off = await btn.isDisabled();

const btn = page.locator('#submit');
await btn.waitFor({ state: 'attached', timeout: 5000 });

try {
  return await page.isDisabled(sel, { timeout: 10000 });
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e).includes('timed out')) throw new Error(`element never appeared: ${sel}`);
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: No element matches before opts.Timeout; Strict:true with multiple matches; frame navigates/detaches during the check; injected script errors on non-standard elements.

Common situations: Asserting buttons are disabled during in-flight requests; fields inside lazily mounted modals; using the main frame object for iframe content; broad selectors matching many nodes under strict mode.
