test-e2e

E2E Test Runner

Execute E2E test steps from a test definition file.

Test File: $1 Base URL: $2 (default: http://localhost:${DEFAULT_PORT:-5173}/)

Pre-Flight Checks

1. Verify Test File Exists

   • Read test file from $1
   • If not found: STOP with "Test file not found: $1"

2. Verify playwright-cli Installed

   • Run: playwright-cli --help
   • If not available: STOP with "playwright-cli not installed. Run: npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest"

3. Parse Test Definition

   • Extract: Test Name, User Story, Test Steps, Success Criteria
   • If parsing fails: STOP with parse error details

Execution

1. Initialize Test Session

   • Record test start timestamp
   • Create screenshot directory: {PROJECT_ROOT}/outputs/e2e/<test-name>/

2. Navigate to Base URL

   • Run: playwright-cli open <base_url>
   • Run: playwright-cli screenshot --output {PROJECT_ROOT}/outputs/e2e/<test-name>/01_initial.png

3. Execute Test Steps

   • For each step in Test Steps section: a. Parse step action (Navigate, Verify, Click, Fill, Type, Screenshot) b. Execute action using appropriate playwright-cli command:
     • Navigate: playwright-cli goto <url>; Verify: playwright-cli snapshot; Click: playwright-cli click "<selector>"; Fill: playwright-cli fill "<selector>" "<text>"; Screenshot: playwright-cli screenshot --output <path> c. If step includes "screenshot": capture and save d. If step includes "verify": validate condition e. On failure: record error and continue to capture state

4. Validate Success Criteria

   • Check each criterion from Success Criteria section
   • Mark as passed/failed

5. Generate Result JSON

   • Output structured result to stdout

Output Format

Return JSON result:

{
  "test_name": "<name from test file>",
  "status": "passed|failed",
  "timestamp": "<ISO timestamp>",
  "duration_ms": <number>,
  "steps": [
    {"step": 1, "action": "navigate", "status": "passed"},
    {"step": 2, "action": "verify", "status": "passed"}
  ],
  "screenshots": [
    "{PROJECT_ROOT}/outputs/e2e/<test-name>/01_initial.png"
  ],
  "video": "{PROJECT_ROOT}/outputs/e2e/<timestamp>-<test-name>.webm",
  "error": null
}

Error Handling

• On step failure: capture screenshot, continue remaining steps
• On critical failure (browser crash): return partial result with error
• Always close browser session on completion
