## Common Issues & Troubleshooting

### Issue: Tests Cannot Start Dev Server

**Symptom:** "Cannot find port 5173"
**Solution:**

```bash
# Kill any existing dev server
lsof -ti:5173 | xargs kill -9

# Clear Playwright cache
rm -rf .playwright

# Run tests again
bun run test:e2e auth-flow.spec.ts
```

- [ ] Dev server starts successfully
- [ ] Port 5173 is free

### Issue: Tests Timeout

**Symptom:** "Timeout waiting for selector"
**Solution:**

```bash
# Increase timeout
export PWDEBUG=1
bun run test:e2e auth-flow.spec.ts --reporter=verbose

# Check for missing elements in app
```

- [ ] Check app renders correctly
- [ ] Verify selectors match app UI
- [ ] Increase timeout if needed

### Issue: Auth Token Not Found

**Symptom:** "localStorage.getItem('authToken') returns null"
**Solution:**

```bash
# Verify global setup is running
grep -n "setupApiMocks" e2e/auth-flow.spec.ts

# Check API mock responses
cat e2e/fixtures/api-mocks.ts
```

- [ ] API mocks configured
- [ ] Mock login endpoint returns token
- [ ] localStorage cleared between tests

### Issue: Protected Routes Not Redirecting

**Symptom:** "Can access /items without auth token"
**Solution:**

```bash
# Verify app route guards
grep -n "authToken" src/routes/__root.tsx

# Check middleware implementation
find src -name "*middleware*" -o -name "*guard*"
```

- [ ] Route guards implemented
- [ ] Auth token checked before render
- [ ] Redirect to login configured

### Issue: Tests Run Too Slowly

**Symptom:** "Full suite takes 15+ minutes"
**Solution:**

```bash
# Reduce parallel workers (check config)
# Optimize waits (use shorter timeouts)
# Profile slow tests

bun run test:e2e auth-flow.spec.ts --reporter=verbose
```

- [ ] Use appropriate wait strategies
- [ ] Remove unnecessary timeouts
- [ ] Increase workers if possible
