Analysis / Root cause

Jira: CONSOLE-5233

Migrate 6 Cypress test files (17 tests) from packages/integration-tests/tests/app/ to Playwright as part of the ongoing Cypress-to-Playwright migration effort.

This migration was performed using the /migrate-cypress skill from PR #16986 (CONSOLE-5454: Shared Playwright e2e context and test generation skill).

Why a new PR instead of #16449

PR #16449 covers the same Jira ticket but was written with older migration tooling. This PR improves on it in several ways:

  • Follows migration conventions. Sequential dependent Cypress it blocks are merged into a single test() with test.step() per migration guidelines. Older version of the PR used test.describe.serial with separate test() blocks, creating implicit ordering dependencies.
  • No duplicate page objects. Reuses existing DetailsPage, ListPage, YamlEditorPage and extends them minimally (+clickStatusButton on ListPage, parameterized navigateToImportYaml). Older version created 3 new page objects (LoginPage, NavPage, MachineConfigPage) that duplicate performLogin(), Navigation + BasePage.switchPerspective(), and a single-use wrapper.
  • Consistent selectors. Uses getByTestId('section-heading-...') everywhere per e2e-context.md. Older version mixed [data-test-section-heading="..."] CSS locators with getByTestId.
  • Zero ESLint disables. Older version required eslint-disable comments for playwright/expect-expect and no-restricted-syntax.
  • Page object navigation. Uses public page object methods (navigateToListPage(), navigateToDetailsPage()) instead of calling page.goto() directly.

Robustness patterns from PR #16449 were adopted: retryOnModelNotFound() utility, pod crash-state polling, kebab retry loop for WebSocket re-renders, and extended timeouts for slow tests.

Solution description

Source Cypress file Playwright spec Tests
debug-pod.cy.ts (5 tests) debug-pod.spec.ts 1 test, 7 steps
deployments.cy.ts (2 tests) deployments.spec.ts 1 test, 2 steps
start-job-from-cronjob.cy.ts (4 tests) start-job-from-cronjob.spec.ts 1 test, 5 steps
machine-config.cy.ts (2 tests) machine-config.spec.ts 2 independent tests
auth-multiuser-login.cy.ts (2 tests) auth-multiuser-login.spec.ts 2 independent tests
admission-webhook-warning-notifications.cy.ts (2 tests) admission-webhook-warning-notifications.spec.ts 2 independent tests

Files modified:

  • e2e/pages/list-page.ts: Added clickStatusButton() method
  • e2e/pages/yaml-editor-page.ts: Parameterized navigateToImportYaml(namespace)
  • e2e/utils/retry-model-error.ts: New utility for transient "Model does not exist" errors

All 6 original Cypress files deleted.

Screenshots / screen recording

Test setup

  1. oc login to an OpenShift cluster
  2. Copy frontend/e2e/.env.example to frontend/e2e/.env and fill in cluster values
  3. For htpasswd auth test: set BRIDGE_HTPASSWD_PASSWORD, BRIDGE_HTPASSWD_IDP, BRIDGE_HTPASSWD_USERNAME (skipped if not set)

Test cases

cd frontend
npx playwright test --project=console e2e/tests/console/app/ --retries=0

All 12 tests pass (1 skipped without htpasswd IDP), validated against a live cluster:

  ✓  admission-webhook-warning-notifications.spec.ts (2 tests)
  ✓  auth-multiuser-login.spec.ts (1 passed, 1 skipped)
  ✓  debug-pod.spec.ts (1 test)
  ✓  deployments.spec.ts (1 test)
  ✓  machine-config.spec.ts (2 tests)
  ✓  start-job-from-cronjob.spec.ts (1 test)
  12 passed, 1 skipped (2.6m)

Additional info

  • No React source changes required. All data-test attributes already exist.
  • The debug-pod test requires namespace creation without the openshift.io/run-level label (uses coreV1Api.createNamespace() directly) so that SCC correctly injects runAsUser for the fedora pod.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to de671

This PR migrates the app end-to-end coverage from Cypress to Playwright and the reported tests pass, but a few localized follow-ups remain around namespace cleanup, final error-state synchronization, and validating a namespace used in navigation. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on these bounded risks.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate namespace before building the URL.

Line 15-16 inserts the argument directly into a path. Reject empty values, /, .., and other non-DNS-label input before calling goTo. This prevents unintended route traversal when a caller supplies an invalid namespace.

Proposed fix
 async navigateToImportYaml(namespace = 'default'): Promise<void> {
+  if (
+    namespace.length > 63 ||
+    !/^[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?$/.test(namespace)

Wait for namespace deletion before teardown completes.

deleteNamespace starts asynchronous deletion, so teardown can finish while the namespace and its resources are still terminating. Await waitForNamespaceDeleted(ns) after deletion to make cleanup a synchronization barrier for later test setup.

Proposed fix
 test.afterAll(async ({ k8sClient }) => {
   await k8sClient.deleteNamespace(ns);
+  await k8sClient.waitForNamespaceDeleted(ns);
 });

Playwright 1.59 Locator.waitFor timeout error class official documentation

💡 Result:

When a locator.waitFor operation in Playwright exceeds its specified timeout, it throws an instance of the TimeoutError class [1][2]. The TimeoutError class is the standard exception type emitted by Playwright whenever operations are terminated due to a timeout [1][2]. In official Playwright documentation, this class is defined as extending the standard Error class [2]. Key details regarding this error include: - Exception Class: TimeoutError [1][2]. - Usage: You can catch this error using instanceof to handle timeout-specific logic in your scripts [1][2]. - Example (JavaScript/TypeScript): try { await page.locator('selector').waitFor({ timeout: 5000 }); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof playwright.errors.TimeoutError) { console.log('Operation timed out'); } } Note that while locator.waitFor throws a TimeoutError, it often includes a "Call log" in the error message output, which provides diagnostic information about the state the locator was waiting for (e.g., waiting for visibility, attachment) at the time the timeout occurred [3][4]. As of recent versions, including 1.59, the behavior remains consistent with standard Playwright error handling practices [3].

Citations:


Wait for the final error state before returning success.

After the last reload, isVisible() checks immediately. If the error renders after load, the helper can return incorrectly. Wait for errorLocator on the final attempt and throw if it is visible. Catch only Playwright's TimeoutError; rethrow other errors.
