EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Successfully migrated CTS Presenter App from Docker to Laravel Herd, implemented comprehensive Playwright E2E testing infrastructure, and established testing patterns for the remaining work.
Key Achievement: Created a fully functional E2E testing framework with 13 passing tests, 98 data-testid attributes across 18 Vue components, and comprehensive documentation for continuation.

KEY PATTERNS ESTABLISHED
Test Structure
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('description', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/url');
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle'); // CRITICAL for Inertia
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/pattern/);
await expect(page.getByTestId('testid')).toBeVisible();
await expect(page.getByText('German Text')).toBeVisible();
});
CSRF Protection (for POST requests)
const cookies = await page.context().cookies();
const xsrfCookie = cookies.find((c) => c.name === 'XSRF-TOKEN');
const xsrfToken = xsrfCookie ? decodeURIComponent(xsrfCookie.value) : '';
await page.request.post('/endpoint', {
headers: { 'X-XSRF-TOKEN': xsrfToken }
});
data-testid Naming
- Navigation:
auth-layout-nav-{page} - User controls:
auth-layout-user-dropdown-trigger - Lists:
{feature}-list-table,{feature}-list-row-{id} - Actions:
{feature}-list-{action}-button - Blocks:
{block}-block-{element}-{id}
German UI Text
- Navigation: "Gottesdienste", "Song-Datenbank"
- Actions: "Bearbeiten", "Finalisieren", "Wieder öffnen", "Herunterladen"
- Auth: "Mit ChurchTools anmelden", "Abmelden", "Test-Anmeldung"
CRITICAL DECISIONS
Technical Choices
- Herd over Docker: Simpler local dev, faster startup
- Dummy Login: POST route instead of clicking button (bypasses ZiggyVue dependency)
- Auth::login() vs Auth::attempt(): Required due to bcrypt('') password for OAuth users
- workers:1: Prevents SQLite BUSY errors in parallel tests
- storageState Pattern: Reuses login across all tests (massive time savings)
Test Strategy
- No CTS Data Assertions: Structural patterns only (no hardcoded service titles/dates)
- German UI Only: All assertions use exact German text from components
- data-testid Selectors: Most stable selector strategy (immune to CSS changes)
- Page Load Sync: Always use
page.waitForLoadState('networkidle')for Inertia apps
KNOWN ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
Session Timeouts
Issue: task() calls timeout after 10 minutes
Solution: Check if file was created, verify tests, proceed if passing
Test Failures
Issue: Element not found
Solution: Check data-testid spelling in Vue component
Issue: Timeout waiting for element
Solution: Increase timeout or add page.waitForLoadState('networkidle')
Issue: Redirect to login
Solution: storageState expired, re-run: npx playwright test --project=setup
SQLite BUSY
Issue: Parallel tests cause database lock
Solution: Verify workers: 1 and fullyParallel: false in config
