🎯 Page Object Model (POM)

All tests use Page Object Model pattern for maintainability:

Example: AuthPage

class AuthPage {
  constructor(public page: Page) {}

  async navigateToSignup() {
    await this.page.goto('/auth/signup');
  }

  async fillSignupForm(data: {...}) {
    // Fill form fields
  }

  async submitSignup() {
    await this.page.click('button[type="submit"]');
  }
}

Benefits:

✅ Centralized selectors
✅ Reusable methods
✅ Easy maintenance
✅ Improved readability

Common Issues

Test timeouts
- Increase timeout in playwright.config.ts
- Check if dev server is running
- Verify database connectivity
Element not found
- Check if selector is correct
- Increase wait time with waitForSelector
- Verify element is visible (not hidden/disabled)
Database state issues
- Re-run seed script: tsx tests/seed-test-db.ts
- Check if test is cleaning up properly
Authentication failures
- Verify test user credentials match seeded data
- Check session configuration
- Clear cookies: await context.clearCookies()

🔒 Test Best Practices

1. Isolation

✅ Each test is independent
✅ No shared state between tests
✅ Database reset before suite (if needed)

2. Assertions

// Good - explicit and clear
await expect(page.locator('h1')).toHaveText('Welcome');

// Bad - implicit and fragile
const text = await page.locator('h1').textContent();
expect(text).toBe('Welcome');

3. Selectors

// Prefer semantic selectors
await page.click('button:has-text("Login")');     // Good
await page.click('[data-testid="login-btn"]');    // Better
await page.click('#submit-btn-123');               // Avoid

4. Waits

// Use Playwright auto-waiting
await page.click('button');  // Waits automatically

// Explicit waits when needed
await page.waitForURL('/dashboard');
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');

5. Timeouts

// Per-action timeout
await page.click('button', { timeout: 5000 });

// Expect timeout
await expect(page.locator('text=Success')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 });
