Summary

  • Adds comprehensive Playwright E2E test suite with 102 tests across 11 spec files for the Manx terminal UI
  • Tests cover: page load, session management, terminal interaction (xterm.js), ability filter cascading dropdowns, WebSocket connection handling, error states, agent deployment display, layout/styling, navigation/routing, API endpoint contracts, and mock-API isolated tests
  • Includes Playwright config, Caldera authentication fixtures, and API mocking infrastructure for testing without a live backend

Test plan

  • Install deps: cd tests/e2e && npm install
  • Install browsers: npx playwright install
  • Start a Caldera instance with manx plugin enabled
  • Run: npx playwright test (defaults to http://localhost:8888)
  • Override base URL if needed: CALDERA_URL=http://host:port npx playwright test
  • Verify all tests target real UI flows

Test coverage

Spec file Tests Flows covered
manx-page-load.spec.ts 10 Page structure, headings, xterm container, websocket data
session-management.spec.ts 9 Session dropdown, selection, data attributes, periodic refresh
terminal-interaction.spec.ts 11 xterm init, typing, backspace, enter, history navigation, special keywords
ability-filter-dropdowns.spec.ts 11 Tactic/technique/procedure cascading selects, reset on session change
websocket-handling.spec.ts 6 WS config, connection attempts, protocol selection, dead session handling
error-states.spec.ts 8 Empty sessions, API failures, network timeouts, graceful degradation
agent-deployment-display.spec.ts 6 Deployment text, procedure command injection
layout-and-styling.spec.ts 10 Bulma classes, flexbox layout, viewport responsiveness
navigation-and-routing.spec.ts 9 Route access, static asset serving, navigation persistence
api-endpoints.spec.ts 7 REST endpoint contracts for sessions, history, abilities
mock-api-tests.spec.ts 8 Isolated UI tests with mocked API responses

Adds 102 tests across 11 spec files covering page load, session management,
terminal interaction, ability filter dropdowns, WebSocket handling, error
states, agent deployment display, layout/styling, navigation/routing, API
endpoints, and mock-API isolated tests. Includes Playwright config,
authentication fixtures, and API mocking infrastructure.
