E2E Conventions

Reference for whether an e2e test is required, where it goes, and what it must assert. For the assertion/locator patterns inside the spec, see Skill({skill: "playwright-testing"}).

When e2e tests are required

A change requires an e2e test if it touches any of:

• UI components or pages
• Filters or search
• Forms or user input
• Interactions (click, drag, keyboard)

Exception: pure CSS or a DB-migration-only change. State this explicitly in the task notes.

Where to put them

Under e2e/, named after the feature:

e2e/<feature-name>.spec.ts

If the work is tracked under a ticket id, you may prefix the file with it (e.g. e2e/TASK-001-deal-importance.spec.ts) to make it easy to find — but the ticket id is not required.

What to verify

Write the spec alongside the implementation. The reviewer checks that the spec exists and asserts the right thing. CI runs it — don't run it locally yourself.

Red Flags

• A UI/filter/form/interaction change with no e2e/*.spec.ts added.
• Claiming the CSS/migration-only exception without saying so in the task notes.
• A spec placed outside e2e/, or that asserts nothing user-visible.
• Running the e2e suite locally instead of letting CI do it.

Verification

• If the change touches UI/filters/forms/interactions, a spec exists under e2e/.
• The spec is named after the feature (ticket-id prefix optional).
• The spec asserts the right user-visible behavior, using playwright-testing patterns.
• Any CSS/migration-only exemption is stated explicitly in the task notes.
