Task: Implement Low-Priority E2E Coverage (Regression Nets + Evidence Workflow)

Objective

Add low-priority Playwright coverage focused on:

  1. Cross-role smoke pack
  2. Video-evidence workflow sanity check

Do this with strict state isolation and robust selectors, applying lessons learned from recent flaky failures.

Scope

A) Cross-role smoke pack

Create a small, fast suite that validates core access and navigation behavior for:

  • regular user (e2e_user)
  • admin user (e2e_admin)
  • disposable local user created during test runtime

Recommended file:

  • e2e/smoke-cross-role.test.ts

Scenarios:

  1. Regular user smoke
  • Login locally
  • Assert dashboard loads
  • Assert admin route access is blocked (redirect to dashboard)
  1. Admin user smoke
  • Login locally
  • Assert dashboard loads
  • Assert /trips/admin/users is accessible
  1. Disposable local user smoke
  • Login as admin
  • Create new local user with unique username/email/password
  • Clear cookies
  • Login as disposable user
  • Assert dashboard loads
  • Assert admin route blocked

B) Video evidence workflow check

Create one tiny tagged test proving the “record + attach” path works for AI-agent evidence.

Recommended file:

  • e2e/evidence-workflow.test.ts

Scenario:

  • Minimal happy-path (login + open dashboard)
  • Tag test with @evidence in title
  • Must be runnable one-off with video+trace env vars

Critical Reliability Rules (Non-Negotiable)

  1. No shared seeded state mutation
  • Never modify credentials for e2e_user/e2e_admin.
  • If credentials are tested, create disposable user.
  1. Unique test data everywhere
  • Suffix all generated names/emails with Date.now() + random short suffix.
  • No hardcoded mutable identifiers.
  1. No exact-name assumptions on composite buttons
  • Buttons in “Start building your trip” include subtitle text.
  • Use regex/prefix role locators or shared helper that supports both menu states.
  1. Dialog targeting must be robust
  • Don’t rely on dialog accessible name if not guaranteed.
  • Prefer: dialog filtered by heading text where needed.
  1. Async form actions must be awaited
  • For actions with background enhance/POST behavior (e.g., checklist toggles), wait on expected network response before asserting/reloading.
  1. Avoid hidden-input .check() pitfalls
  • If control is visually hidden, click the associated visible label/text instead of forcing .check().
  1. Trip creation helper behavior
  • Ensure helper handles “unknown start date” path intentionally.
  • URL assertion should validate final trip detail URL, not /new.
  1. No sleeps
  • No waitForTimeout.
  • Use expect(...).toBeVisible(), toHaveURL, waitForResponse, etc.

Selector Guidelines

  • Prefer:
    • getByRole
    • getByLabel
    • getByText
  • Use exact: true only when truly unambiguous.
  • If strict mode collisions occur (e.g., Add vs Add item), disambiguate with exact role/name or context-scoped locator.

Helper Reuse

Use existing helpers in:

  • e2e/helpers/auth.ts
  • e2e/helpers/trip.ts

If helper changes are needed, keep them backward compatible and verify impacted tests.

Commands

Run low-priority tests only

  • bunx playwright test e2e/smoke-cross-role.test.ts e2e/evidence-workflow.test.ts

One-off evidence run with artifacts

  • PW_TRACE_MODE=on PW_VIDEO_MODE=on bunx playwright test e2e/evidence-workflow.test.ts -g "@evidence"

Open report

  • bunx playwright show-report

Evidence Upload Workflow (manual/agent follow-up)

After running evidence test:

  1. Locate video artifact under test-results/**/video.webm
  2. Post issue comment first (via tea or API)
  3. Attach video to that specific comment via Gitea API (not issue root attachment)
  4. Include:
  • command used
  • test name
  • commit SHA

Acceptance Criteria

  • New low-priority tests pass locally.
  • Tests pass standalone and when run together.
  • No mutation of shared seeded credentials/state.
  • Smoke pack runtime remains quick (target < 30s local).
  • Evidence test is runnable one-off with video+trace and produces a video artifact.
  • PR notes include:
    • scenarios added
    • anti-flake/state-isolation measures
    • one-off evidence command and artifact path
