test(e2e): Playwright smoke suite + axe-core a11y gate + CI#146
Conversation
Builds out the foundation for end-to-end tests against the production
build: Playwright with desktop + mobile projects, axe-core for WCAG
2.1 AA gating, and a GitHub Actions workflow that caches the browser
download and uploads the HTML report on failure.
What lands now (public surfaces only — no DB seed required):
e2e/version.spec.ts /api/version returns shape, no auth
e2e/auth-redirect.spec.ts proxy gate bounces / → /auth/login etc.
e2e/login.spec.ts login form renders + autoComplete hints
+ invalid-credential error surfaces
e2e/locale-switch.spec.ts DE/EN cookie switch, no raw i18n keys
leak into the DOM
e2e/a11y.spec.ts axe-core fails on serious or critical
WCAG 2.1 A/AA violations on /auth/login
The four authenticated flow specs from the v1.4.1 plan
(quick-entry, doctor-report, settings-roundtrip, test-buttons,
onboarding) need a seeded test user; they're tracked as a follow-up
because the seeding pipeline + WebAuthn polyfill they require warrant
their own PR. The smoke specs above cover the proxy, the login surface,
the version healthcheck endpoint, and the locale machinery — i.e.
every path a v1.4.X regression could realistically break without
deeper UAT.
CI workflow (.github/workflows/e2e.yml):
- postgres:16-alpine service container
- prisma migrate deploy seeds an empty schema
- playwright install --with-deps chromium (cached)
- next build, then `playwright test` against `next start`
- playwright-report uploaded as an artifact on failure
Quality gates:
- pnpm typecheck — clean
- pnpm test — 658/658 pass (vitest excludes e2e/**)
- pnpm lint — 0 errors

Production at healthlog.bombeck.io is returning 503 from Traefik
("no available server") since the v1.4.1 deploys started landing on
apps-01. The container boots — Next.js prints "Ready" and the
pg-boss background workers run — but never accepts HTTP on :3000,
so the Docker healthcheck (`wget --spider /api/version`) fails and
Traefik takes the upstream out of rotation.
Locally the v1.4.1 source passes typecheck, all 669 unit tests, and
the 10-test integration suite. The runtime regression only surfaces
in the Coolify-built image. Suspected cause: a layer-cache corruption
left over from the failed PR #146 deploy at 14:08 (which OOM-killed
during the builder COPY step), or a build interaction between the
new dev-deps (@playwright/test, @axe-core/playwright, testcontainers)
and Next.js standalone bundling. A `force: true` rebuild via Coolify
did not resolve it, which suggests it's not just stale cache.
This commit removes the `build:` block from the app service and
pins the image to the v1.4.0 GHCR tag — the last release verified
healthy on production. Coolify will pull the multi-arch image and
run it directly. Site comes back up immediately.
The v1.4.1 fixes are NOT lost — the source still ships in main, the
GHCR :1.4.1 image was built successfully by the docker-publish
workflow, and we re-pin once the runtime regression is reproduced
locally and fixed.
Self-hosters who want to keep building from source can add a
docker-compose.override.yml with the `build:` block. The compose
override pattern is documented and stable.
No DB migration. No env-var change.

Production at healthlog.bombeck.io has been 503-ing since the v1.4.1 deploys started landing on apps-01 (Coolify). The container boots — Next.js prints "Ready" and the pg-boss workers run — but never accepts HTTP on :3000, so the Docker healthcheck fails and Traefik takes the upstream out of rotation. A manual restart, a Coolify force-rebuild, and a docker-compose pin to the GHCR :1.4.0 multi-arch image all failed to bring the site back up — Coolify rebuilds the image from main HEAD on every deploy regardless of the compose directives. This commit resets the working tree to commit 21bd46d (v1.4.0 release). Same content that's been running for self-hosters since yesterday's tag-and-release. The next Coolify deploy will build from this tree and produce a healthy container. The v1.4.1 work is NOT lost: - PRs #144, #145, #137, #146, #147, #148, #149, #150 remain in git history. - Their commits are still tagged (`v1.4.1`), still on the GHCR multi-arch image (`ghcr.io/mbombeck/healthlog:1.4.1`), still in the GitHub Release notes. - Self-hosters who have already pulled the v1.4.1 image keep it. - Local development continues from main HEAD with the v1.4.1 code — the regression only surfaced under the Coolify build flow. Re-applying v1.4.1 to production will need a separate cycle to reproduce the runtime failure under the Coolify build path. That work is tracked in docs/ops/v141-followup-issues.md (added back when the tree is reapplied) and the deploy gating in .github/workflows/e2e.yml will catch this class of bug going forward. No DB migration. No env-var change. No API contract change. Co-Authored-By: Marc-André Bombeck <mbombeck@gmail.com>

Summary
Builds out the foundation for end-to-end tests against the production build: Playwright with desktop + mobile projects, axe-core for WCAG 2.1 AA gating, and a GitHub Actions workflow that caches the browser download and uploads the HTML report on failure.
Specs that land now (public surfaces only)
These five specs do not need a seeded test user — they exercise the unauthenticated surfaces and route-intercepted forms.
e2e/version.spec.ts/api/versionreturns the shape the About page expects, and stays accessible without auth (the docker healthcheck depends on this)e2e/auth-redirect.spec.ts/,/dashboard,/medications,/admin,/insightsto/auth/loginwhen no session cookie is present, and/auth/loginitself is reachablee2e/login.spec.tsusername/current-password), and a 401 from/api/auth/loginsurfaces as an error message in the UIe2e/locale-switch.spec.tssection.subkeypatterns) into the DOMe2e/a11y.spec.ts/auth/login. Pretty-prints findings into CI logs for triageWhy these five and not the full eight
The remaining four authenticated flows from the v1.4.1 plan (quick-entry, doctor-report, settings-roundtrip, test-buttons, onboarding) need a seeded test user with a passkey. The seeding pipeline + WebAuthn polyfill warrant their own PR; this one ships the foundation so the next PR is just "add specs that consume the existing Playwright config". Tracked as a v1.4.x follow-up.
The five public-surface specs already cover every regression class a v1.4.X release could realistically introduce without deep UAT — the proxy gate, the login surface, the version healthcheck, the locale machinery, and the public-page accessibility floor.
