Replaces the httpx-based smoke tests in tests/e2e/ with a browser E2E suite
under e2e/, running against a self-contained throwaway stack that never
touches the local development database.
Stack & data isolation (e2e/docker-compose.test.yml):
- Own ephemeral Postgres 17 (schema via the `migrate` service / Alembic),
distinct project name + named volumes, no host DB port, no \${VAR}
interpolation. `make e2e-down` destroys everything.
- OIDC enabled with a known session secret; WEB_AUTO_REFRESH_SECONDS=2 so
polling is assertable; CONTENT_HOME mounts a test markdown page.
- Deterministic seeder (e2e/seed_data.py) run via global setup inside the
collector container: nodes/observers with `area` tags, adverts, messages
on the public (17) + a custom channel, raw packets + path hops keyed to
node prefixes, a route + health/history, profiles + adoptions, and
event_observers rows so the observer filter/badges resolve.
Auth & tests:
- Forged signed `meshcore-session` cookies (e2e/mint_session.py,
itsdangerous) for admin/member identities -> storageState; no real IdP
needed. 31 specs across 12 files cover global nav/theme, profile
menu+edit, home hero, dashboard widgets, list filters/auto-refresh/row
actions, observer toggles, the path-node overlay, map filters +
show-labels, members, markdown pages, and routes add/edit/delete
(persistence, validation, confirm dialog). workers:1 / fullyParallel:false
against the single shared backend; targeted data-testids added to React
components for stable selectors.
Fixes surfaced while running the suite on fresh Postgres:
- Migration 5e3b712ccf10 aborted on Postgres: its route-health backfill
queries the live Route model (which now has max_path_length) before that
column exists. The swallowed error left the transaction aborted, killing
the subsequent alembic_version stamp. Wrapped the backfill in a SAVEPOINT
so a failure rolls back cleanly without blocking the migration.
- Restored the full ABUSE_* env set required by the MQTT broker, and set
the web service's API_KEY to the admin key (admin writes go through the
proxy as a Bearer token).
31/31 passing; tsc (frontend+e2e), pytest (1460), and pre-commit green.
