Summary

  • Adds Playwright for cross-browser end-to-end testing of React on Rails components
  • Provides comprehensive test coverage for component rendering, interactivity, and SSR/hydration
  • Integrates seamlessly with existing RSpec and Jest test suites

Key Changes

  • Playwright Configuration: Added spec/dummy/playwright.config.ts with support for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and mobile browsers
  • Test Suites: Created four comprehensive test suites:
    • basic-react-components.spec.ts - Tests React component rendering and interactions
    • turbolinks-integration.spec.ts - Tests Turbolinks/Turbo integration
    • error-handling.spec.ts - Console error monitoring and error handling
    • performance.spec.ts - Performance testing for load times and memory usage
  • Test Helpers: Custom utilities in fixtures/test-helpers.ts for React on Rails specific testing
  • Rake Tasks: Added Playwright rake tasks for easy test execution
  • Documentation: Updated CLAUDE.md with comprehensive Playwright documentation

Implementation Details

The Playwright tests are properly located in spec/dummy/ where the actual Rails test application lives. This ensures tests run against a real Rails environment with compiled assets.

Features:

  • Cross-browser testing (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, mobile browsers)
  • Server-side rendering verification
  • Client-side hydration testing
  • Performance monitoring
  • Error tracking
  • Automatic Rails server startup before tests

Test Plan

  1. Install Playwright dependencies:

    cd spec/dummy
    yarn install
    yarn playwright install --with-deps
  2. Run Playwright tests:

    yarn test:e2e
  3. Run tests in UI mode for debugging:

    yarn test:e2e:ui
  4. Verify existing tests still pass:

    rake

Breaking Changes

None - this is an additive change that doesn't affect existing functionality.

Security Implications

None - Playwright tests run locally and in CI only. No production code changes.

🔍 Code Review: Playwright E2E Testing Framework

Thank you for adding Playwright E2E testing to React on Rails! This is a valuable addition. I've conducted a thorough review and identified several areas that need attention before merging.

✅ Strengths

  • Comprehensive browser coverage (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, mobile)
  • Good test organization with separate test suites
  • Proper CI/CD configuration
  • Well-documented in CLAUDE.md
  • Follows Rails conventions by placing tests in spec/dummy/

🚨 Critical Issues (Must Fix)

1. Type Safety Violations in test-helpers.ts

  • Extensive use of any types throughout
  • Logic error on line 33 - should be: Object.keys(ReactOnRails?.getComponent ? ReactOnRails : {})

2. Version Mismatch

  • Root package.json: @playwright/test ^1.55.1
  • spec/dummy/package.json: ^1.41.0
  • This could cause compatibility issues

3. Incomplete Test Implementation

  • turbolinks-integration.spec.ts contains TODOs and doesn't test navigation
  • Tests don't use custom helpers from test-helpers.ts

⚠️ High Priority Issues

1. Missing Error Handling

  • test-helpers.ts needs timeout handling and proper error messages

2. Hardcoded Configuration

  • Port 3000 is hardcoded
  • Performance thresholds too strict for CI
  • Should use: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000'

3. Flaky Performance Tests

  • Memory tests only work in Chromium
  • Timing assertions may fail in CI

🔧 Code Quality Improvements

1. Page Object Model Pattern

  • Create playwright/pages/ReactOnRailsPage.ts for better organization

2. Improve Assertions

  • Replace weak toBeTruthy() with specific validations

3. Proper Wait Strategies

  • Use waitForHydration before component interactions

📋 Missing Test Coverage

  • React error boundaries
  • SSR failure scenarios
  • Form submissions
  • Authentication flows
  • Asset loading failures
  • Accessibility testing

✅ Action Items

Before Approval:

  1. Fix type safety in test-helpers.ts
  2. Resolve Playwright version mismatch
  3. Complete turbolinks-integration.spec.ts
  4. Add error handling throughout

Nice to Have:

  1. Implement Page Object Model
  2. Add missing test scenarios
  3. Improve configuration management
  4. Add accessibility testing

💡 Conclusion

Solid foundation for E2E testing, but needs refinement for production readiness. The type safety issues and incomplete implementations are the main blockers.

Happy to discuss any points in detail. Great work on getting this started! 🚀

🧹 Nitpick comments (18)
.gitignore (1)

70-73: Consider also ignoring the blob reporter output

If you enable Playwright’s blob reporter in CI, add:

+/blob-report/

This complements /playwright-report/ and /test-results/.

eslint.config.ts (1)

51-55: Don’t blanket-ignore Playwright tests; lint them with relaxed rules

Ignoring spec/dummy/playwright/**/*.ts|js skips linting altogether. Keep the config file ignored, but include tests via an override and relax problematic rules instead.

Apply within this segment:

     // Playwright test files
-    'spec/dummy/playwright.config.ts',
-    'spec/dummy/playwright/**/*.ts',
-    'spec/dummy/playwright/**/*.js',
+    'spec/dummy/playwright.config.ts',

Then add an override to the config (near other overrides):

{
  files: ['spec/dummy/playwright/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}'],
  rules: {
    // E2E specs often use console and Node-ish patterns
    'import/no-unresolved': 'off',
    'no-console': 'off',
  },
},

This preserves lint value without noisy false-positives in the dummy app.

CLAUDE.md (1)

136-143: Clarify install location for Playwright

Make it explicit to run installs in the dummy app to avoid adding deps at the repo root:

-# Install Playwright and its dependencies
-yarn add -D @playwright/test
-yarn playwright install --with-deps  # Install browsers
+# Install Playwright and its dependencies in the dummy app
+cd spec/dummy
+yarn add -D @playwright/test
+yarn playwright install --with-deps  # Install browsers
spec/dummy/playwright/tests/turbolinks-integration.spec.ts (3)

1-1: Use the custom fixtures test to wait for hydration and reduce flake.

Import the extended test from fixtures so you can call waitForReactOnRails(). If expect isn’t re-exported from fixtures, keep it from @playwright/test.

-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+// Prefer project fixtures for ReactOnRails helpers
+import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/test-helpers';

If fixtures/test-helpers.ts does not re-export expect, change the import to:

-import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/test-helpers';
+import { test } from '../fixtures/test-helpers';
+import { expect } from '@playwright/test';

7-13: Detect Turbo as well as Turbolinks and assert mounted components, not just presence.

Right now the test silently does nothing if Turbolinks is absent. Support Turbo and fail fast or skip when neither is present; also assert mounted components via ReactOnRails rather than a boolean check.

-  // Check if Turbolinks is loaded (if enabled)
-  const hasTurbolinks = await page.evaluate(() => {
-    return typeof (window as any).Turbolinks !== 'undefined';
-  });
+  // Detect Turbolinks or Turbo
+  const { hasTurbolinks, hasTurbo } = await page.evaluate(() => ({
+    hasTurbolinks: typeof (window as any).Turbolinks !== 'undefined',
+    hasTurbo: typeof (window as any).Turbo !== 'undefined',
+  }));
+
+  if (!hasTurbolinks && !hasTurbo) {
+    test.skip(true, 'Turbolinks/Turbo not enabled in this app');
+  }
@@
-  // Verify React on Rails components are still mounted
-  const componentRegistry = await page.evaluate(() => {
-    return typeof (window as any).ReactOnRails !== 'undefined';
-  });
-  expect(componentRegistry).toBeTruthy();
+  // Verify React on Rails components are mounted
+  await waitForReactOnRails?.(); // from fixtures
+  const mountedCount = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const ROR = (window as any).ReactOnRails;
+    return ROR && ROR.mountedComponents ? ROR.mountedComponents.length : 0;
+  });
+  expect(mountedCount).toBeGreaterThan(0);

Also applies to: 18-23


36-41: Anchor selector only catches Turbo; include Turbolinks and wait for navigation.

Broaden the selector and wait for URL change to stabilize assertions.

-const links = await page.locator('a[data-turbo]').count();
+const linkLocator = page.locator('a[data-turbo], a[data-turbolinks]');
+const links = await linkLocator.count();
 if (links > 0) {
-  await page.locator('a[data-turbo]').first().click();
+  const prevUrl = page.url();
+  await linkLocator.first().click();
+  await page.waitForURL((url) => url.toString() !== prevUrl);
spec/dummy/playwright/README.md (1)

81-86: Clarify config location and CI artifacts (optional).

Small clarity wins: call out the config path and suggest using the blob reporter in CI for easy artifact upload.

-Configuration is in `playwright.config.ts`:
+Configuration is in `spec/dummy/playwright.config.ts`:

-- Generates HTML reports
+- Generates HTML reports locally (consider Playwright "blob" reporter in CI for artifact upload)
spec/dummy/playwright.config.ts (1)

17-17: Consider adding blob reporter on CI for downloadable artifacts.

Keeps GitHub summary clean while preserving a single ZIP to upload.

-  reporter: process.env.CI ? 'github' : 'html',
+  reporter: process.env.CI
+    ? [['github'], ['blob', { fileName: 'playwright-report.zip' }]]
+    : [['html', { open: 'never' }]],

Based on learnings.

spec/dummy/playwright/tests/performance.spec.ts (3)

12-14: Use Navigation Timing for stability and relax brittle thresholds.

Date.now() + networkidle can be flaky in CI. Prefer performance.getEntriesByType('navigation') when available, and avoid tight 3s hard caps.

-// Page should load within 3 seconds
-expect(loadTime).toBeLessThan(3000);
+// Prefer Navigation Timing when available; fall back to coarse wall time
+const nav = await page.evaluate(() => {
+  const [e] = performance.getEntriesByType('navigation') as PerformanceNavigationTiming[];
+  return e ? e.loadEventEnd - e.startTime : null;
+});
+const effectiveLoadMs = nav ?? loadTime;
+expect(effectiveLoadMs).toBeLessThan(5000);

28-30: Time-to-interactive assertion is tight; make it resilient.

Gate on input readiness with a timeout and allow a bit more headroom to reduce CI flake.

-// Should be interactive within 2 seconds
-expect(interactiveTime).toBeLessThan(2000);
+// Should be interactive within a reasonable threshold in CI
+expect(interactiveTime).toBeLessThan(process.env.CI ? 4000 : 2000);

32-69: Scope memory test to Chromium and wait for the input before loops.

performance.memory is Chromium-only; skipping on other projects keeps signal high.

-test('should not have memory leaks during interactions', async ({ page }) => {
+test('should not have memory leaks during interactions', async ({ page }) => {
+  if (!test.info().project.name.toLowerCase().includes('chromium')) {
+    test.skip(true, 'performance.memory not available outside Chromium');

-const input = page.locator('#HelloWorld-react-component-1 input');
+const input = page.locator('#HelloWorld-react-component-1 input');
+await input.waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
spec/dummy/playwright/tests/error-handling.spec.ts (3)

5-26: Centralize console error filtering or expand known benign patterns.

Good pattern, but tests can fail on benign assets/issues (e.g., favicon 404). Either reuse a shared helper or extend filters here.

-      if (message.type() === 'error') {
+      if (message.type() === 'error') {
         // Filter out known non-issues
         const text = message.text();
         if (
           !text.includes('Download the React DevTools') &&
-          !text.includes('SharedArrayBuffer will require cross-origin isolation')
+          !text.includes('SharedArrayBuffer will require cross-origin isolation') &&
+          !/favicon\.ico.*(404|Not Found)/i.test(text)
         ) {
           consoleErrors.push(text);
         }
       }

If you add a helper like expectNoConsoleErrors(page) in fixtures, both this and other suites can reuse it.


33-44: Wait for the input before filling to avoid race with hydration.

Small stability win.

-const input = helloWorld.locator('input');
+const input = helloWorld.locator('input');
+await input.waitFor({ state: 'visible' });

60-70: Clean up routes after the network-failure test to avoid side effects.

While page is per-test, using unrouteAll() is a good hygiene and future-proof if scoping changes.

-test('should handle network errors gracefully', async ({ page }) => {
-  // Intercept API calls and simulate failures
-  await page.route('**/api/**', (route) => {
-    route.abort('failed');
-  });
-
-  await page.goto('/');
-
-  // Page should still load even if API calls fail
-  await expect(page.locator('#ReduxApp-react-component-0')).toBeVisible();
-});
+test('should handle network errors gracefully', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Intercept API calls and simulate failures
+  await page.route('**/api/**', (route) => route.abort('failed'));
+  try {
+    await page.goto('/');
+    // Page should still load even if API calls fail
+    await expect(page.locator('#ReduxApp-react-component-0')).toBeVisible();
+  } finally {
+    await page.unrouteAll({ waitForOngoing: true });
+  }
+});

Based on learnings.

spec/dummy/lib/tasks/playwright.rake (4)

47-50: Make clean cross‑platform and target the dummy app paths.

rm -rf is not portable on Windows and currently runs relative to repo root.

Apply this diff:

   desc "Clean Playwright artifacts"
   task :clean do
-    sh "rm -rf playwright-report test-results"
+    FileUtils.rm_rf([
+      File.join(DUMMY_DIR, "playwright-report"),
+      File.join(DUMMY_DIR, "test-results")
+    ])
   end

39-41: Add missing descriptions for Firefox/WebKit tasks for rake -T.

This improves discoverability when listing tasks.

-  task :firefox do
+  desc "Run Playwright tests with specific project: Firefox"
+  task :firefox do
     yarn_in_dummy "playwright test --project=firefox"
   end

-  task :webkit do
+  desc "Run Playwright tests with specific project: WebKit"
+  task :webkit do
     yarn_in_dummy "playwright test --project=webkit"
   end

Also applies to: 43-45


5-7: Optional: provide a bootstrap task to install deps + browsers.

Reduces friction vs. having to run yarn install separately in spec/dummy.

   desc "Install Playwright browsers"
   task :install do
     yarn_in_dummy "playwright install --with-deps"
   end
+
+  desc "Install Node dependencies and Playwright browsers"
+  task :bootstrap do
+    yarn_in_dummy "install"
+    yarn_in_dummy "playwright install --with-deps"
+  end

3-3: BlockLength disable is fine; consider extraction to avoid the cop.

If you prefer, extract helpers into spec/dummy/lib/tasks/playwright_helpers.rb and keep tasks concise to drop rubocop:disable Metrics/BlockLength. Purely optional.

Scope Playwright to the dummy app or align versions across the repo

If Playwright runs only under spec/dummy, keeping a second copy at the repo root adds install time and invites version drift. Prefer removing the root devDependency or ensure both places use the same version.

Apply if scoping to dummy app only:

-    "@playwright/test": "^1.55.1",

Run to compare versions (root vs dummy):

#!/bin/bash

  fi
done

Align @playwright/test versions across root and dummy

@playwright/test is ^1.55.1 in package.json but ^1.41.0 in spec/dummy/package.json; update the dummy app to ^1.55.1 or remove the root entry if you intend to scope Playwright solely under spec/dummy.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In package.json around line 39, the root dependency "@playwright/test" is
^1.55.1 while spec/dummy/package.json pins ^1.41.0; update the dummy app to use
^1.55.1 so versions are aligned (or, if Playwright should only live under
spec/dummy, remove the root entry instead). Edit spec/dummy/package.json to bump
the "@playwright/test" version to ^1.55.1, then reinstall (npm/yarn/pnpm
install) and update the lockfile; alternatively delete the root-level
"@playwright/test" entry and reinstall to scope Playwright to spec/dummy only.

Upgrade Playwright devDependency to current release

Locking @playwright/test at ^1.41.0 (Jan 2024) leaves the dummy app on browsers and tooling that are over a year old. The current stable is 1.55.1, and the rest of the stack (including the new config and scripts) will expect the up-to-date CLI/browsers. Please bump this dependency so the dummy app installs the same modern bits as the repo root and avoids stale browser bundles.(classic.yarnpkg.com)

Fix registeredComponents lookup

ReactOnRails.getComponent is defined on every page, so this ternary always resolves to {} and the helper hands tests an empty registeredComponents array—even when components are registered. Please inspect the real registry object (for example ReactOnRails.componentStore or whatever the library exposes in this version) so the fixture returns the actual component names instead of an empty list.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In spec/dummy/playwright/fixtures/test-helpers.ts around lines 31 to 34, the
ternary uses ReactOnRails.getComponent which is always defined so
registeredComponents becomes Object.keys({}) and returns an empty array; replace
that logic to inspect the actual registry exposed by this ReactOnRails version
(e.g. ReactOnRails.componentStore or ReactOnRails.components or
ReactOnRails._components) and extract keys from that object (with a safe
fallback to {} if the property is undefined) so the fixture returns the real
registered component names.

Test name vs. assertion mismatch; verify state persistence or rename.

You fill “Test State” but only check visibility after navigation. Either assert the value persisted (if that’s the contract) or rename the test to reflect remount behavior.

If remount is expected to reset state, rename the test to “remounts and resets state on Turbo navigation” and assert empty value instead.

Code Review: Add Playwright E2E Testing Framework

Thank you for this excellent addition to the React on Rails testing suite! The Playwright implementation is well-structured and comprehensive.

✅ Strengths

Code Quality & Architecture

  • Excellent test organization: Tests are properly categorized (basic components, error handling, performance, Turbolinks)
  • Reusable test helpers: Custom fixtures provide React on Rails-specific utilities
  • Clean configuration: Sensible defaults and good browser coverage
  • Follows conventions: Properly integrated with Rake tasks and package.json scripts

Test Coverage

  • Comprehensive coverage of SSR, hydration, Redux integration
  • Performance monitoring with memory leak detection
  • Error boundary testing and console monitoring
  • Cross-browser testing including mobile viewports

Documentation

  • Thorough documentation in CLAUDE.md and README files
  • Clear examples and debugging tips

🔧 Suggestions for Improvement

1. CI/CD Integration Missing

Add .github/workflows/playwright.yml for automated testing on PRs

2. Type Safety

Replace 'any' types in test helpers with proper Playwright types

3. Test Stability

Make timeouts configurable via environment variables for CI vs local

4. Port Configuration

Use dynamic port allocation instead of hardcoded port 3000

5. Browser-Specific APIs

Add checks for Chrome-only features like performance.memory

⚠️ Areas for Enhancement

1. Error Recovery

Add more defensive checks for optional features like Turbolinks

2. Test Isolation

Add cleanup hooks to clear localStorage/sessionStorage between tests

3. Accessibility

Consider adding axe-core integration for a11y testing

📚 Additional Test Scenarios to Consider

  • Form submissions and validations
  • File upload components
  • WebSocket/ActionCable integration
  • Authentication flows
  • i18n support
  • Component prop validation
  • Network retry logic

🏆 Overall Assessment

This is a high-quality PR that significantly enhances testing capabilities. The implementation is thoughtful, well-documented, and follows best practices.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve with minor suggestions

The code is production-ready. Priority should be adding CI workflow to run tests automatically.

Code Review: Playwright E2E Testing Framework

Thank you for adding Playwright E2E testing to React on Rails! This is a valuable addition. I've reviewed the implementation and have the following feedback:

Strengths

  1. Well-structured test organization in spec/dummy/playwright/ with clear separation between test suites and helpers
  2. Comprehensive browser coverage with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and mobile viewports
  3. Proper Rails integration with automatic server startup
  4. Good test helpers in test-helpers.ts for React on Rails specific testing
  5. Excellent documentation updates in CLAUDE.md and dedicated Playwright README

Suggestions for Improvement

1. Test Helper Implementation

The test-helpers.ts file appears incomplete. The waitForReactOnRails fixture is defined but implementation is cut off. Please ensure all helper functions are fully implemented.

2. Version Inconsistency

Version mismatch between:

  • Root package.json: @playwright/test ^1.55.1
  • spec/dummy/package.json: @playwright/test ^1.41.0
    Consider aligning these versions to avoid compatibility issues.

3. Error Filtering

In error-handling.spec.ts, consider moving hard-coded error filters to a configuration file for better maintainability.

4. Missing CI Configuration

While PR mentions GitHub Actions integration, the workflow file is missing. Consider adding .github/workflows/playwright.yml with artifact uploading and parallel execution strategy.

Potential Issues

1. Rake Task Block Length

The Playwright rake task disables RuboCop block length check. Consider refactoring into smaller, focused tasks.

2. Security: Webserver Configuration

Ensure the Rails server only binds to localhost in test mode and consider using a random available port to avoid conflicts.

3. Test Isolation

Add proper setup/teardown including database cleaner strategies, localStorage clearing, and cookie cleanup between tests.

Test Coverage Recommendations

Consider adding tests for:

  • Form submissions with CSRF tokens
  • WebSocket connections if using Action Cable
  • File uploads with Active Storage
  • Authentication flows
  • API error handling and network failures

Performance Considerations

  1. Enable parallel test execution on CI with proper test isolation
  2. Add test tagging for selective test runs
  3. Consider capturing traces along with screenshots for better debugging

Overall Assessment

This is a solid implementation that adds significant value to the React on Rails testing suite. The structure is clean, documentation is comprehensive, and integration with existing tools is well thought out.

With the suggested improvements above, particularly completing test helpers, aligning package versions, and adding the CI workflow, this will be an excellent addition to the project.

Great work on this implementation!
