Web Testing

This spike uses Playwright for web testing.

Dependencies

You need to have Docker installed, because Playwright only supports Ubuntu.

Credentials

The test for the login require working credentials. Please provide them in the .envrc.local file. The variable names are already there.

Testing selective browsers

You can test selective browsers from the command line by specifying an environment variable:

E2E_WEB_BROWSERS=Mobile_Chrome,Desktop_Firefox yarn test

Take a look in playwright.config.ts for valid browser names.

Testing with retries

By default, local tests run without retries, but CI test runs use retries. Therefore, flaky tests can fail locally, but succeed in CI. If you want to test with retries locally, you can enable them via an environment variable:

E2E_WEB_RETRIES=2 yarn test

Testing locally

For testing the web app locally, start the local dev environment from the root of the project with

yarn web:dev

and execute the tests from this directory:

yarn test:localhost

if E2E_USER vars are not loaded you can try this

E2E_USER_USERNAME=... E2E_USER_PASSWORD=... E2E_USER_ID=... yarn test:localhost
