External tests failed to trigger OAuth error scenarios because the enabled field defaulted to false and wasn't documented. Users configured error scenarios without knowing to set "enabled": true, causing scenarios to be stored but never activated.

Changes

Config Handler (internal/handlers/config.go)

  • Changed ErrorScenario.Enabled from bool to *bool to distinguish unset (nil) from explicit false
  • Default to true when nil, allowing {"endpoint": "authorize", "error": "unauthorized_client"} to work immediately

Documentation (README.md)

  • Added complete list of supported OAuth2 error codes per endpoint (authorize, token, userinfo)
  • Clarified enabled field is optional and defaults to true

Tests (internal/handlers/config_test.go)

  • Added coverage for default-enabled behavior and explicit disable

Example

Before (broken):

{
  "error_scenario": {
    "endpoint": "authorize",
    "error": "unauthorized_client"
  }
}

Error stored but never triggers (enabled defaults to false).

After (fixed):

{
  "error_scenario": {
    "endpoint": "authorize", 
    "error": "unauthorized_client"
  }
}

Works immediately. Set "enabled": false to explicitly disable.

Impact

Fixes all 5 previously-failing error scenarios: unauthorized_client, invalid_scope, temporarily_unavailable, invalid_request, unsupported_response_type. Backward compatible with existing configs.

<issue_title>[FEATURE] extend error scenarios</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary

After re-running the previously skipped OAuth error scenario tests, we discovered that the mock OAuth server has been partially updated and now supports some error scenarios!

Test Results

✅ Tests Now Passing (10 total)

Basic OAuth Flow (7 tests):

  1. ✅ should complete OAuth flow with mock server
  2. ✅ should receive session cookie after authentication
  3. ✅ should show user information on dashboard
  4. ✅ should be able to logout
  5. ✅ should redirect to dashboard after login
  6. ✅ Basic Page Navigation: should load home page
  7. ✅ Basic Page Navigation: should have navigation links on home page

OAuth Error Scenarios (3 tests - NOW WORKING!):
8. ✅ should handle OAuth access denied error ⭐ NEW
9. ✅ should handle server error from OAuth provider ⭐ NEW
10. ✅ should handle token endpoint error ⭐ NEW

⏭️ Tests Still Skipped (7 total)

Requires mock OAuth server improvements:

  1. ⏭️ should redirect to login when accessing dashboard without authentication

    • Issue: Navigating to /dashboard without auth still completes OAuth flow
    • Needs: Proper unauthenticated redirect handling
  2. ⏭️ should handle unauthorized client error

    • Issue: Error scenario not properly blocking authentication
  3. ⏭️ should handle invalid scope error

    • Issue: Error scenario not properly blocking authentication
  4. ⏭️ should handle temporarily unavailable error

    • Issue: Error scenario not properly blocking authentication
  5. ⏭️ should handle invalid request error

    • Issue: Error scenario not properly blocking authentication
  6. ⏭️ should handle unsupported response type error

    • Issue: Error scenario not properly blocking authentication
  7. ⏭️ should recover from error scenario when disabled

    • Issue: Depends on other error scenarios working first

Mock OAuth Server Status

Current Version:

Error Scenarios - Support Status:

Error Type Status Notes
access_denied ✅ WORKS Properly blocks auth and redirects
server_error ✅ WORKS Properly handled
Token endpoint errors ✅ WORKS invalid_grant working
unauthorized_client ❌ FAILS Still auto-approves
invalid_scope ❌ FAILS Still auto-approves
temporarily_unavailable ❌ FAILS Still auto-approves
invalid_request ❌ FAILS Still auto-approves
unsupported_response_type ❌ FAILS Still auto-approves

Progress

Before (original issue):

  • 9 tests failing
  • 1 test skipped
  • 7 tests passing

After mock OAuth update:

  • 0 tests failing ✨
  • 7 tests skipped (waiting on mock OAuth improvements)
  • 10 tests passing ✅ (+3 new passing tests!)

The 'enabled' field now defaults to true when configuring error scenarios.
This resolves the UX issue where external tests couldn't trigger error
scenarios without explicitly setting "enabled": true.

Changes:
- Changed 'enabled' field to *bool (pointer) to distinguish nil from false
- Default 'enabled' to true when error scenario is configured (nil)
- Allow explicit "enabled": false to disable scenarios
- Updated README documentation to clarify the enabled field behavior
- Added comprehensive test coverage for default enabled behavior
- Listed all supported OAuth2 error codes in documentation

- Extract duplicated boolean expression to variable for readability
- Update misleading comment about default nil behavior
