Pracht Scaffold E2E

\n

Generate a Playwright suite that exercises the live app. Aligns with\nrecipes-testing.md.

\n

Step 1: Decide which build the tests run against

\n

Ask the user (default: dev):

\n
    \n
  1. pracht dev — fast, HMR, but can mask production-only bugs (different\nbundling, different SSG/ISG flow).
    2. \n
  2. Production runtime — pracht preview: purpose-built, it builds and\nserves the production output locally for both Node and Cloudflare targets\n(Vercel prints guidance instead). Use pracht preview --skip-build to\nserve an existing build after an explicit pracht build. Prefer this over\nhand-rolling node dist/server/server.js, which is Node-adapter-only and\nskips the build.
    3. \n
  3. External URL — user provides BASE_URL; tests do not boot the server.
    4. \n
\n

Step 2: Install

\n
pnpm add -D @playwright/test\npnpm exec playwright install chromium\n
\n

Add firefox and webkit only if the user requests them.

\n

Step 3: Write playwright.config.ts

\n
import { defineConfig, devices } from \"@playwright/test\";\n\nconst PORT = Number(process.env.PORT ?? 3000);\n\nexport default defineConfig({\n  testDir: \"./e2e\",\n  fullyParallel: true,\n  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,\n  reporter: process.env.CI ? \"github\" : \"list\",\n  use: {\n    baseURL: process.env.BASE_URL ?? `http://localhost:${PORT}`,\n    trace: \"on-first-retry\",\n    screenshot: \"only-on-failure\",\n  },\n  webServer: process.env.BASE_URL\n    ? undefined\n    : {\n        command: \"pnpm dev\", // or \"pracht preview\" for the production runtime — choose at scaffold time\n        url: `http://localhost:${PORT}`,\n        reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,\n        timeout: 120_000,\n      },\n  projects: [\n    { name: \"chromium\", use: devices[\"Desktop Chrome\"] },\n  ],\n});\n
\n

If playwright.config.ts already exists, merge — do not clobber.

\n

Step 4: Generate per-route smoke tests

\n

MCP: when the pracht MCP server is registered (pracht dev-mcp), prefer its\ninspect_routes/inspect_api/inspect_build/doctor/verify/generate_*\ntools over shelling out. pracht inspect needs the pracht plugin in the vite\nconfig.

\n
pracht inspect routes --json\n
\n

For every route entry, generate one spec under e2e/smoke/. Skip routes with\ndynamic segments unless the user provides example params (ask via\nAskUserQuestion).

\n

Per-route template:

\n
import { test, expect } from \"@playwright/test\";\n\ntest.describe(\"smoke: <path>\", () => {\n  test(\"loads with 200 and a title\", async ({ page }) => {\n    const errors: string[] = [];\n    page.on(\"console\", (msg) => {\n      if (msg.type() === \"error\") errors.push(msg.text());\n    });\n    page.on(\"pageerror\", (err) => errors.push(err.message));\n\n    const response = await page.goto(\"<path>\");\n    expect(response?.status(), \"HTTP status\").toBeLessThan(400);\n    await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/.+/);\n    expect(errors, \"no console errors\").toEqual([]);\n  });\n});\n
\n

Step 5: Generate a navigation crawl

\n

A single e2e/navigation.spec.ts that:

\n
    \n
  1. Visits the home route.
    2. \n
  2. Waits for hydration with the documented readiness idiom before touching\nanything — otherwise the crawl races hydration and clicks fall through to\nfull page loads:\n
    await page.waitForFunction(() => (window as any).__PRACHT_ROUTER_READY__);\n
    \n
    3. \n
  3. Collects every same-origin <a href>.
    4. \n
  4. Clicks each in turn, asserts no console errors, no 4xx/5xx.
    5. \n
\n

This catches client-router intercept regressions and broken links.

\n

Step 6: Generate a hydration check (optional)

\n

If any route is render: \"ssr\" or \"ssg\"/\"isg\":

\n
test(\"server HTML matches client render\", async ({ page }) => {\n  const errors: string[] = [];\n  page.on(\"console\", (m) => m.type() === \"error\" && errors.push(m.text()));\n  await page.goto(\"<path>\");\n  await page.waitForLoadState(\"networkidle\");\n  expect(errors.filter((e) => /Hydration|hydrat/i.test(e))).toEqual([]);\n});\n
\n

Step 7: Wire package.json

\n
{\n  \"scripts\": {\n    \"e2e\": \"playwright test\",\n    \"e2e:ui\": \"playwright test --ui\"\n  }\n}\n
\n

If an e2e script already exists in the project, confirm before\noverwriting.

\n

Step 8: Run

\n
pnpm e2e\npracht verify --json\n
\n

If specs fail on first run, report. Common first-run failures:

\n\n

Rules

\n
    \n
  1. Source of routes is pracht inspect routes --json. Do not glob\nsrc/routes/**.
    2. \n
  2. Skip dynamic-segment routes unless example params are provided.
    3. \n
  3. Never overwrite an existing playwright.config.ts without diffing first.
    4. \n
  4. If the app uses typed routes, run pracht typegen --check before generating specs and prefer imported href() for test URLs in app-owned route fixtures.
    5. \n
  5. Use webServer to boot pracht dev or pracht preview so CI works\nout-of-the-box.
    6. \n
  6. Console-error capture is mandatory — silent JS errors are the most common\npracht hydration regression.
    7. \n
  7. Wait for window.__PRACHT_ROUTER_READY__ before interacting with the\npage in any spec that relies on client-side navigation.
    8. \n
