## Running the Tests

### Quick Start

```bash
# Run all E2E tests
bun run test:e2e

# Interactive UI mode (recommended for development)
bun run test:e2e:ui

# Watch mode with browser
bun run test:e2e:headed

# Debug specific test
bun run test:e2e:debug
```

### Run Specific Test Files

```bash
# Run only links tests
bunx playwright test links.spec.ts

# Run only graph tests
bunx playwright test graph.spec.ts

# Run search and sync tests
bunx playwright test search.spec.ts sync.spec.ts
```

### View Results

```bash
# View HTML report
bun run test:e2e:report
```

## Test Approach

### MSW Integration

All tests run with MSW (Mock Service Worker) enabled:

- ✅ No backend server required
- ✅ Consistent mock data across tests
- ✅ Fast test execution
- ✅ Offline testing capability

### Soft Assertions

Tests use soft assertions with `.catch()` for:

- UI elements that may not be implemented yet
- Different UI patterns across views
- Feature flags or conditional rendering

This approach allows tests to:

- Pass even if some features are incomplete
- Provide helpful console logs for missing features
- Serve as documentation for expected functionality

### Test Data

- **Production mock data**: From `src/mocks/data.ts` (2 projects, 10 items, 7 links, 3 agents)
- **Test fixtures**: From `e2e/fixtures/testData.ts` (test-specific data generators)
- **Page helpers**: From `e2e/fixtures/pageHelpers.ts` (60+ reusable functions)

## Configuration

### Playwright Config (`playwright.config.ts`)

- **Test directory**: `./e2e`
- **Base URL**: `http://localhost:5173`
- **Timeout**: 30 seconds per test
- **Retries**: 2 on CI, 0 locally
- **Workers**: 1 on CI, unlimited locally
- **Browser**: Chromium (can enable Firefox/Safari)
- **Reporters**: HTML, JSON, list
- **Dev server**: Auto-starts Vite on port 5173
