[5.1] com_privacy admin tests

[brianteeman]

Steps to reproduce the issue

run the e2e cypress tests for administrator->com_privacy->consent

Expected result

all tests pass

Actual result

most of the tests for sorting ascending and descending fail

System information (as much as possible)

php 8.1.3
joomla51branch

Additional comments

I suspect that the code to work out what value should = what result is wrong and that there is nothign wrong with the component just the test

something weird it's happening on cypress tests in general
that's from my local 4.4-dev

and still not the same result on drone 😵‍💫

[alikon]

it seems to be fixed now

Closing this issue now, has been resolved elsewhere
but feel free to reopen if needed.

[brianteeman]

@alikon from my local 4.4-dev the same five tests failed today as your result above:

• can list by user_id in descending order
• can list by consented in descending order
• can list by consented in ascending order
• can list by id in decending order
• can list by id in ascending order

yay - woohoo - i am not going mad

@alikon it looks like the tests are not stateless 😱 I compared can list by user_id in descending order with can list by user_id in ascending order and found out, if I test both alternately first run fails always and starting with second run it is green ✅ The reason looks to me like the sort order is selected and the table content is captured before the table has changed. And the selection order is saved.

Both test cases have to be adopted. My solution is a little bit complicated, perhaps you have a simpler one? For example, for ascending replace the one select-line with:

// first select a completely different option to always make a POST request for the next selection
cy.get('#list_fullordering').select('ID ascending');
// catch the next POST request
cy.intercept('POST', '**').as('anyPost');
// selecting ASC
cy.get('#list_fullordering').select('User ID ascending');
// wait for the POST request and the completion of the table
cy.wait('@anyPost');
// double check ASC is selected
cy.get('#list_fullordering').should('have.value', 'a.user_id ASC');
