Browse — Playwright E2E Testing for SolanaOS Hub

Browser automation and end-to-end testing skill for the SolanaOS NanoHub, powered by Playwright.

Quick Start

# Install Playwright browsers
npx playwright install chromium

# Run E2E tests
bun run test:e2e

# Run with UI mode
npx playwright test --ui

# Generate tests interactively
npx playwright codegen https://seeker.solanaos.net

NanoHub Test Configuration

The NanoHub uses a dual config setup:

Playwright Config (playwright.config.ts)

Browser-based E2E tests against the built frontend.

import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test'

export default defineConfig({
  testDir: './e2e',
  testMatch: /.*\.pw\.test\.ts/,
  timeout: 60_000,
  expect: { timeout: 10_000 },
  fullyParallel: true,
  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
  use: {
    baseURL: process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL || 'http://127.0.0.1:4173',
    trace: 'retain-on-failure',
  },
  webServer: {
    command: 'bun run preview -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4173',
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:4173',
    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
  },
  projects: [
    { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] } },
  ],
})

Vitest E2E Config (vitest.e2e.config.ts)

Node-based E2E tests for CLI and API validation (no browser needed).

bun vitest run -c vitest.e2e.config.ts

NanoHub Routes to Test

Route	Auth	What to verify
/	No	Landing page renders, navigation works
/launch	No	Boot sequence animation, CTA links
/mobile	No	Seeker mobile walkthrough renders
/skills	No	Skill cards load from Convex
/souls	No	Soul cards load from Convex
/ipfs	No	IPFS Hub page renders, wallet input works
/agents	No	Agent directory loads public agents
/dashboard	Yes	Wallet connect, agent factory, pairing
/upload	Yes	Skill publish flow with file upload
/settings	Yes	User preferences, agent config
/mining	No	BitAxe fleet dashboard renders
/strategy	No	Strategy builder loads
/create	Yes	Skill creator wizard
/auth/callback	No	GitHub OAuth redirect handling

Writing Hub Tests

Public Route Test

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'

test('IPFS Hub page loads', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/ipfs')
  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Private IPFS')
  await expect(page.locator('.gallery-stat-card')).toHaveCount(4)
})

test('agent directory shows cards', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/agents')
  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Registered')
  // Wait for Convex query
  await page.waitForSelector('.agent-card', { timeout: 10_000 })
})

test('skill search works', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/skills')
  await page.locator('input[type="search"]').fill('solanaos')
  await page.waitForSelector('.skill-card')
  await expect(page.locator('.skill-card')).toHaveCount.greaterThan(0)
})

Authenticated Route Test

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'

// Use storage state from auth setup
test.use({ storageState: 'e2e/.auth/user.json' })

test('dashboard loads for authenticated user', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/dashboard')
  await expect(page.locator('.dashboard-section')).toBeVisible()
})

Convex API Test (Vitest, no browser)

import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest'

const CONVEX_URL = process.env.CONVEX_URL || 'https://YOUR-DEPLOYMENT.convex.cloud'

describe('Convex IPFS API', () => {
  it('GET /api/v1/ipfs/files returns array', async () => {
    const res = await fetch(
      `${CONVEX_URL}/api/v1/ipfs/files?wallet=test`,
      { headers: { Accept: 'application/json' } }
    )
    expect(res.ok).toBe(true)
    const data = await res.json()
    expect(data).toHaveProperty('files')
    expect(Array.isArray(data.files)).toBe(true)
  })

  it('GET /api/v1/ipfs/stats returns stats object', async () => {
    const res = await fetch(
      `${CONVEX_URL}/api/v1/ipfs/stats?wallet=test`,
      { headers: { Accept: 'application/json' } }
    )
    expect(res.ok).toBe(true)
    const data = await res.json()
    expect(data.stats).toHaveProperty('totalFiles')
  })
})

Playwright Agents (AI-Driven Testing)

Playwright includes three built-in AI test agents.

Setup

npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode

Planner

Explores the app and produces a Markdown test plan.

Input: "Generate a test plan for the IPFS Hub upload and recall flow"
Output: specs/ipfs-hub.md

The planner needs a seed test that sets up the environment:

// tests/seed.spec.ts
import { test } from '@playwright/test'

test('seed', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/')
})

Generator

Transforms Markdown plans into executable Playwright test files.

Input: specs/ipfs-hub.md
Output: tests/ipfs-hub/upload-file.spec.ts

Healer

Automatically repairs failing tests by:

1. Replaying failing steps
2. Inspecting current UI for equivalent elements
3. Patching locators, waits, or data
4. Re-running until pass or skip

Input: "Heal tests/ipfs-hub/upload-file.spec.ts"
Output: Passing test (or skipped with reason)
