Testing - add a testing environment

[asidelnik]

CI Testing

• Create a remote "testing" branch.
• Only "testing" branch can be merged into main
  • GitHub Actions Workflow - branch-check file
  • Branch Protection Rules

Triggers

• Trigger: commit
  • Action: lint
• Trigger: push
  • Action: lint, build, local tests
• Trigger: pull request to testing
  • Action: lint, build,
    • deploy to testing env
    • Run tests using the testing env. Maybe use reusable workflow

To Mock or Not

• What if the tests require server updates? How to synchronize?
  • What if I don't control the server?
  • Possible solution - mock
  • Possibly the best solution regarding time constraints. If I mock, i won't need much of the workflow.

CI Testing

Need to solve testing Playwright out of localhost env.

• Github actions CI
• Playwright CI

Testing env

• Problem - github action "Test on PR" prevents merging branches.
• Cause - localhost is not run at the Github action
• Solution:
  • Add a testing env (domain)
  • Push to testing env/branch (without testing)
  • Perform the automatic tests on the testing env/domain
  • If success, merge to prod
