SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running Playwright end-to-end tests safely by starting the dev server, waiting for readiness, and executing tests with a single worker first to isolate concurrency issues before scaling up.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Starts the dev API server if not running and waits for the app to be ready.
  • Runs Playwright tests with a single worker to establish a clean baseline before a full parallel run.
  • Provides guidance for diagnosing flaky tests and scaling up when stability is achieved.

Quick Start

Invoke the /e2e command to start the server, wait for readiness, and run the Playwright tests with a single worker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Playwright E2E tests safely without concurrency issues?▼

Run Playwright E2E tests safely by starting the dev API server, waiting for readiness, and executing tests with a single worker (--workers=1) to isolate concurrency issues before scaling up parallel runs.

Why are my Playwright end-to-end tests flaky in CI pipelines?▼

Flaky tests often stem from concurrency issues or servers not being ready. Running Playwright with a single worker first isolates these failures, establishing a stable baseline before scaling up to full parallel execution.

Do I need npm scripts to automate Playwright end-to-end testing?▼

Yes, automating Playwright E2E testing requires an npm script for starting the API server (dev:api) and a wait-on utility to detect readiness before executing the test suite.

What is the best way to debug E2E failures across local development and CI?▼

The best way to debug E2E failures is running Playwright tests with a single worker to isolate concurrency issues, validating feature behavior end-to-end consistently across local development and CI pipelines.

When should I scale up Playwright workers after isolating test failures?▼

You should scale up Playwright workers after achieving stability with a single worker baseline, using the provided guidance for diagnosing flaky tests before moving to full parallel runs.
