End-to-end tests

Playwright suites, most local-only — three run in CI/CD:

Suite	Target	Where it runs
smoke.spec.ts	any deployed stage	CD pipeline against https://test.dorfteich.cloud after every deploy
auth.spec.ts	full local stack with Mailpit	CI job auth-e2e on every PR/push; locally against the dev stack
content.spec.ts	full local stack	same CI job auth-e2e (a second step), right after the auth pack
everything else	full local stack	locally only — editor/sidebar/image/link/markdown/trash.spec.ts

content.spec.ts is the M2 content regression pack (issue #32): page lifecycle, editor basics, image paste, Markdown round-trip, and trash — enough to catch a regression across the whole content model without re-running every edge case the feature-specific packs above already cover. Its Markdown round-trip test is a real regression pin, not just a smoke check: it compares the seeded "Every Element" fixture page's exported Markdown byte-for-byte against the checked-in content-page.md (see "Content fixtures" below) — any schema/serializer change that alters how a node round-trips fails it, once the seed has re-run against the changed code (build → migrate → seed → test, exactly CI's order).

Running locally

# 1. Stack: database + Mailpit, api (3001), web dev server (5173)
docker compose -f deploy/compose/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/compose/compose.dev.yml up -d db mailpit
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://dorfteich:dorfteich@localhost:5434/dorfteich pnpm --filter @dorfteich/api db:seed
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://dorfteich:dorfteich@localhost:5434/dorfteich PORT=3001 pnpm --filter @dorfteich/api start:dev &
pnpm --filter @dorfteich/web dev &

# 2. Tests
E2E_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5173 E2E_MAILPIT_URL=http://localhost:8025 pnpm --filter @dorfteich/web e2e

auth.spec.ts skips itself when E2E_MAILPIT_URL is unset, so the CD smoke run never trips over it.

Fixture matrix

Seeded by pnpm --filter @dorfteich/api db:seed (idempotent — re-running never duplicates). Shared password: fixture passwort 123. Fixtures exist only on dev machines and disposable CI/Test databases.

Username	State	Purpose
fixture-admin	active, Site Admin	admin UI/permissions cases
fixture-user	active	regular journeys, settings, sessions
fixture-pending	e-mail not verified	unverified-login cases

Content fixtures

db:seed also creates a shared pond content-fixtures (owned by fixture-user) with two pages, for the content regression pack and manual QA:

• Every Element (every-element) — every editor schema node and mark (issue #24: headings 1–4, all list types, table, blockquote, code block, horizontal rule, hard break, and all five marks). Loaded from the checked-in apps/api/prisma/fixtures/content-page.yjs, a Yjs snapshot generated from the human-readable content-page.md next to it — content-page.md is the thing to read or edit; the .yjs file is a build artifact of it, not source.
• Fixture Image (fixture-image) — one real, servable uploaded image (the placeholder fileId inside the Markdown fixture above is not a real attachment; this page's image is).

Regenerating after editing content-page.md:

pnpm --filter @dorfteich/api fixtures:regenerate

This is deterministic — re-running without editing the Markdown produces a byte-identical .yjs file (the script pins the Yjs document's clientID, which is otherwise randomized per Y.Doc instance) — and it refuses to write a snapshot that isn't a fixed point of the Markdown round-trip (docToMarkdown(markdownToDoc(x)) === x), so a stale fixture can't get checked in silently.

Conventions

• New feature packs get their own <feature>.spec.ts next to these and extend the fixture matrix here (permission matrix arrives with M5, issue #60).
• Use contextForUser() from helpers.ts for signed-in tests — it logs in through the api and hands you a browser context with the session cookie, no UI login repetition.
• Flaky tests are defects (ADR 0014): fix or quarantine immediately.
