From 32e6427483e19b69a1767350c6efac79b34e5240 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: core-devops Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 19:20:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test(e2e): harden staging canvas Playwright suite toward HARD merge-gate MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Deflake the staging canvas tab E2E so it can become a required check (continue-on-error stays per RFC internal#219 §1 / CTO call — NOT removed). Each flake/weak-gate mechanism is named and fixed deterministically (§ No flakes / internal#828). Does NOT touch staging-display.spec.ts (in-flight PR #2275). staging-tabs.spec.ts: - Weak "container visible" gate shipped empty/errored panels green: the single tabpanel div always mounts. Replaced with assertPanelRendered(): settled REAL content via expect.poll (non-empty, not stuck on a loading spinner) for non-degraded tabs. Mechanism: polled content condition instead of implicit "network finished by now". - ErrorBoundary ("Something went wrong") was never asserted — a React subtree crash passed. Now asserted absent at hydration AND per tab. - Error detection was [role=alert]:has-text("Failed to load") ONLY: missed other error phrasings and role-less error divs (ActivityTab). Replaced with any *visible* alert inside the panel for non-degraded tabs. - Hand-maintained TAB_IDS could drift silently from SidePanel.tsx TABS (it was already stale: missing display + container-config). Added a live-DOM parity guard (fails loud on a new/removed tab); display + container-config explicitly excluded (display owned by PR #2275). - Added click→activation confirmation (aria-selected) before asserting the panel — closes a wrong-panel race on slow click handlers. - Fail-closed: CANVAS_E2E_STAGING=1 with no tenant state now hard-errors (was a silent skip→green path); unset env still skips cleanly. - Added PROMOTION-READINESS block (reliable now / still-blocks-required / checklist). staging-setup.ts: - Fail-closed handoff: empty slug/tenantURL/workspaceId/tenantToken now hard-fails setup naming the missing field, instead of handing off a partial state the spec diagnoses (or skips) downstream. e2e-staging-canvas.yml: - PROMOTION-READINESS comment (what's reliable / what still blocks promotion-to-required). continue-on-error untouched. Verified without live infra: tsc --noEmit clean on all three e2e files; playwright --list collects the staging spec; suite self-skips clean with no STAGING env (exit 0) and hard-errors loud with CANVAS_E2E_STAGING=1 and no token (exit !=0). Full live suite needs staging infra — not run here.
