A coding agent could develop this repo's Go packages and could not develop the application: every path to running YellowJacket ended in a blocking GTK window, so 265 bound methods, 46 events, 33 component directories and 13 stores had exactly one form of verification available — `tsc --noEmit`. The unlock is that `wails dev`'s dev server on :34115 serves the real frontend with the real generated bindings against the same Go backend a desktop window attaches to, so a plain Chromium under Xvfb gets a fully functional app. Four test tiers now exist, cheapest first: - `make ui-test` — 313 Vitest tests in a real browser in ~2 s, no app, no backend, no display. Works because `frontend/wailsjs/` is a pure passthrough to `window.go`/`window.runtime`, so faking just those two globals runs the real bindings and the real store code. - `make test` — services in-process, asserting on the payload the frontend would receive, via a new `events.Emit` wrapper. - `make dev-headless` + `playwright-cli` — the real app, driven interactively, with an event bridge on `window.__yjEvents` and a dev-only control surface at `/__test/`. - `make e2e` — 19 of those flows frozen as Playwright specs. `events.Emit(ctx, …)` replaces all 35 direct `runtime.EventsEmit` call sites: wails' `getEvents` `log.Fatalf`s on any context without its runtime, so those paths could not run under test and a background worker could take the app down. Four packages had each hand-rolled the same guard; nine more guarded on `ctx != nil`, which does not help. `TestNoDirectRuntimeEmits` fails the build on a new one. Fixtures are generated, not committed (`make testdata`), and seeds are built by *running the app* — never by hand-writing config and DB rows, which would be a second description of a valid YJ_HOME. `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` is the first workflow here that tests anything; the other three only package, so `gitea_ci` reported only packaging jobs and misled anyone asking whether a push was healthy. Both jobs were prototyped to green in a bare ubuntu:24.04 container before the YAML was written, which immediately caught `make lint` linting three configurations that nothing builds: all three passes omitted `webkit2_41`, so wails resolved webkit2gtk-4.0 — which Arch still ships and Ubuntu 24.04 dropped. Operational instructions live in `.pi/skills/yellowjacket-dev/`, measured discoveries in `.planning/NOTES.md`, and architecture in `CLAUDE.md` — split by tense, not by topic, because a topical split gives every new fact two plausible homes. `make skill-check` fails a commit if the skill cites a make target that does not exist.

description: Promote a hand-driven playwright-cli session into a committed spec in e2e/
|
||
argument-hint: "[name of the flow]"
|
||
---
|
||
Promote the flow I just drove by hand into a committed Playwright spec.
|
||
Flow: ${@:-infer it from the playwright-cli commands in this session}
|
||
|
||
This is a transcription with fixed substitutions, not a fresh test.
|
||
Work from what actually happened in this session, not from what the UI
|
||
looks like it should do.
|
||
|
||
**1. Recover the flow.** List the `playwright-cli` calls made this
|
||
session, in order, and the assertion each one was really checking. Then,
|
||
before writing anything, ask the running app what fired:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
playwright-cli -s=yj eval "() => window.__yjEvents.names()"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Await the events that are actually in that list. Do not guess event
|
||
names from `backend/events/`.
|
||
|
||
**2. Substitute, one for one.**
|
||
|
||
- `click e15` → a role or `data-testid` selector. Snapshot refs are
|
||
per-snapshot and meaningless in a spec. If the only stable selector
|
||
would be structural, add a `data-testid` to the Lit component and
|
||
re-run `make ui-test`.
|
||
- any sleep, or "it looked settled" → `waitForEvent(app, 'X')`.
|
||
- `window.go.…` → `callBinding(app, path, args)`, which times out.
|
||
- a short fixture track → `LONG_TRACK`, if the flow needs playback to
|
||
still be running on the next line. Every other fixture is 2–6 s.
|
||
- `getByRole('button', { name })` → add `exact: true`.
|
||
|
||
**3. Place it.** `e2e/specs/<area>.spec.ts`, importing `test`, `expect`
|
||
and the helpers from `../support/fixtures.js` — never `@playwright/test`
|
||
directly. Match the surrounding specs' comment style: say what the test
|
||
is protecting against, not what the lines do.
|
||
|
||
**4. Prove it is a spec and not a recording.** Three runs, in order:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
make e2e E2E_ARGS='--grep "<name>"' # it passes
|
||
make e2e E2E_ARGS='--grep "<name>"' # again — catches dependence on
|
||
# state the first run left
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
then once more after restoring the database through `/__test/`, which
|
||
catches dependence on state *my hand-driving* left behind — the single
|
||
most likely way a promoted spec passes here and fails in CI. Leave the
|
||
database as you found it: snapshot/restore, or reset in `beforeEach`.
|
||
|
||
**5. Then the whole suite:** `make e2e`. If the promotion turned up a
|
||
new trap, append it to `.planning/NOTES.md`; if it turned up a bug,
|
||
tell me rather than asserting the broken behaviour.
