Playwright: Saving session storage - playwright

Question

I'm very new to Playwright. I'm trying to follow this https://playwright.dev/docs/auth#reuse-signed-in-state so I can login and then save the session for further tests.
My steps work fine in a test but once I've moved them to global-setup.ts I get a timeout:
import { chromium, FullConfig } from '#playwright/test'
async function globalSetup(config: FullConfig) {
const browser = await chromium.launch()
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('MYDOMAIN/login');
await page.locator("a[testid='googleSignIn']").click()
await page.locator("input[type='email']").fill('MYEMAIL')
await page.locator(
"button[class='VfPpkd-LgbsSe VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-k8QpJ VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-dgl2Hf nCP5yc AjY5Oe DuMIQc LQeN7 qIypjc TrZEUc lw1w4b']",
).click()
await page.locator("input[type='password']").fill('MYPASSWORD')
await page.locator(
"button[class='VfPpkd-LgbsSe VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-k8QpJ VfPpkd-LgbsSe-OWXEXe-dgl2Hf nCP5yc AjY5Oe DuMIQc LQeN7 qIypjc TrZEUc lw1w4b']",
).click()
// Save signed-in state to 'storageState.json'.
await page.context().storageState({ path: 'storageState.json' })
await browser.close()
}
export default globalSetup
The above steps log me in fine in a test but now I've set my config file to use the saved session storage:
storageState: 'storageState.json',
When I run a test I don't see a browser appear it just waits a minute and then says:
locator.click: Timeout 30000ms exceeded.

The time out is the step just before I enter my password.
I'm running the tests with this command:
yarn playwright test login-page-tests --headed
Am I doing something wrong?

I wouldn't count on these google login class names. Did you try running something like:
await page.locator('text="Next"').click()
