3cda68c5c7 E2E/Playwright: Add testcontainers to playwright-lib (#37570)
* add testcontainers to playwright-lib

* include retry mechanism for transient failures

* - Introduced a new command `testcontainers:up` in package.json to run Playwright tests with Testcontainers.
- Created a standalone Playwright configuration file `playwright.testcontainers-up.config.ts` for managing Testcontainers.
- Added a no-op test `testcontainers_up.spec.ts` to ensure the Testcontainers stack is up during the test run.
- Implemented a global setup script `testcontainers_up_global_setup.ts` to start and stop the Testcontainers stack.
- Updated dependencies in package.json, including adding `chalk` for logging.

* fix package-lock

* fix tsc and restore waiting for all migrations to complete

Playwright E2E Test Scripts

This directory contains utility scripts for the Playwright E2E test suite.

Test Documentation Format Linter

The lint-test-docs.js script verifies that all spec files follow the required documentation format:

  • JSDoc with @objective and @precondition tags
  • Proper test title with MM-T ID (e.g., MM-T1234)
  • Tag for feature categorization (e.g., {tag: '@feature_name'})
  • Action comments (e.g., // # Action)
  • Verification comments (e.g., // * Verification)

Usage

# Run the linter directly
node script/lint-test-docs.js

# Or use the npm script
npm run lint:test-docs

Integration with CI

The linter is also integrated with the main check command, which is typically run before committing changes:

npm run check

This will run ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript type checking, and the test documentation format linter.

Requirements

All spec files should follow this format:

/**
 * @objective Clear description of what the test verifies
 *
 * @precondition
 * Special setup or conditions required for the test
 * Note: Only include for non-default requirements
 */
test('descriptive test title', {tag: '@feature_tag'}, async ({pw}) => {
    // # Initialize setup and login
    const {user} = await pw.initSetup();
    const {channelsPage} = await pw.testBrowser.login(user);

    // # Navigate to channel and post a message
    await channelsPage.goto();
    await channelsPage.postMessage('Test message');

    // * Verify message appears in the channel
    const lastPost = await channelsPage.getLastPost();
    await expect(lastPost.body).toContainText('Test message');
});

This ensures consistency across all test files and makes it easier to understand the purpose and requirements of each test.
