CTS Herd + Playwright E2E Testing — Session Summary

Date: 2026-03-01
Session Duration: ~2.5 hours
Status: Wave 1-2 Complete, Wave 3 Partial (2/8 tasks)


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

  1. Herd over Docker: Simpler local dev, faster startup
  2. Dummy Login: POST route instead of clicking button (bypasses ZiggyVue dependency)
  3. Auth::login() vs Auth::attempt(): Required due to bcrypt('') password for OAuth users
  4. workers:1: Prevents SQLite BUSY errors in parallel tests
  5. storageState Pattern: Reuses login across all tests (massive time savings)

Test Strategy

  1. No CTS Data Assertions: Structural patterns only (no hardcoded service titles/dates)
  2. German UI Only: All assertions use exact German text from components
  3. data-testid Selectors: Most stable selector strategy (immune to CSS changes)
  4. 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
