Fourth E2E bug in the staging→main chain. The previous three (#2066
setup-phase fixes) let the harness reach the actual Playwright spec.
This one is in staging-tabs.spec.ts itself.
The spec at L78 waits 45s for one of:
[role="tablist"], [data-testid="hydration-error"]
Both targets are wrong:
1. [role="tablist"] only appears AFTER the workspace node is
clicked (which happens 25 lines later at L100). Waiting for
it BEFORE the click can never resolve, so the wait always
times out at 45s regardless of whether the canvas actually
loaded.
2. [data-testid="hydration-error"] doesn't exist anywhere in
the canvas. The error banner at app/page.tsx:62 only had
role="alert" — which collides with toast notifications and
other alert-type elements, so a more-specific selector was
never wired.
Two-part fix:
- Test waits on `[aria-label="Molecule AI workspace canvas"]`
instead — that's the React Flow wrapper (Canvas.tsx:150),
always present once hydrated regardless of workspace count
or selection state. Hydration-error banner remains the
secondary OR target for the failure path.
- app/page.tsx hydration-error banner gets the missing
`data-testid="hydration-error"` attribute. role="alert"
stays for accessibility; the testid is for programmatic
detection without conflict.
After this lands, the staging-tabs spec should advance past the
initial wait, click the workspace node, and exercise each tab.
If a tab fails, we get a proper test failure rather than a 45s
timeout that obscures everything.
