Raw Normal View History

test(determinism): deterministic waits + stableShot screenshots; drop blind sleeps/ifs/retries Make the Playwright e2e + kicad suites deterministic so screenshot flake stops tracing to timing races. - Blind page.waitForTimeout -> condition waits (expect.poll, web-first assertions, waitUntil) + readiness helpers (waitForWxApp, waitForCanvasApp). Remaining sleeps are documented interaction dwells (annotated). - Defensive "if element exists" branches -> loud asserts; label-fallback chains -> normalized clickMenuItemByText. First-run wizard for/if loops removed by seeding calculator/gerbview/pcbnew HTMLs. - Screenshots: new stableShot(page, name) settles the render in-page (canvas hash over rAF) then writes a raw PNG to test-results/ for the existing offline gate (tools/screenshots vs baseline-screenshots). Replaces toHaveScreenshot, which did inline compare + its own baselines and had decoupled the specs from the real gate. scale:'css' pinned. - retries: 0 in both configs. - Guard: tests/tools/lint-determinism.ts (npm run lint:determinism) bans blind sleeps / toHaveScreenshot / inline retries / swallowed catches in specs; documented exceptions carry a marker. Rules in tests/TESTING.md. Assertions, coverage, and renders unchanged (semantic-equivalence reviewed; captures pixel-identical modulo inherent timer/timestamp/3d-raytrace variance). Both suites green at retries:0 (e2e 340, kicad 92); ~35-61% faster.

# Testing rules
Determinism rules for the Playwright specs (`tests/e2e`, `tests/kicad`, `tests/web`).
Enforced by `npm run lint:determinism` (`tools/lint-determinism.ts`). Run specs from `tests/`
via `npm run test:kicad` (firefox) / `npm run test:e2e` (chromium) — not playwright directly.
## Waits — never blind
- **No `page.waitForTimeout(n)`.** Wait on a *condition*: `expect.poll(() => predicate)`, a
web-first assertion (`expect(locator).toBeVisible()`), or `waitUntil(page, fn, desc)` (throws
loudly on timeout).
- **App readiness:** `waitForWxApp(page)` (canvas visible + element registry populated) for
widget/editor harnesses; `waitForCanvasApp(page)` for registry-less canvas apps.
- The **only** allowed `waitForTimeout` is an irreducible interaction dwell — a canvas/keyboard
commit with no JS-observable signal — and it MUST carry a same-line marker:
`// eslint-disable-line -- documented interaction dwell: <why>`.
## No defensive branches
- **No `if (await el.count()) el.click()`.** Assert the element exists, then act:
`expect(await clickByLabel(page, 'X'), '...').toBe(true)`. Use `clickMenuItemByText` (normalizes
`&` / `...` / `…`) instead of try-A-else-A…-else-A fallback chains.
- **No swallowed `.catch(() => {})`.** Let it throw, or assert the tolerated outcome. A genuinely
best-effort op must carry a marker explaining why.
## Screenshots — `stableShot`, compared offline
- Capture with **`stableShot(page, 'name.png', { fullPage })`** — it settles the render (in-page
canvas-hash over animation frames) then writes a raw PNG to `test-results/`. It does **not**
assert. Never use Playwright's `toHaveScreenshot`.
- Comparison is offline: `npm run screenshots:check` diffs `test-results/` against the committed
baselines in `tests/baseline-screenshots/` (+ `3d-regression/`, `gal-regression/`).
- **CI's Linux render is the source of truth**; baselines are promoted from CI
(`npm run screenshots:promote -- --run <ci-run-id>`). A local (Mac) check shows font/render
noise and is not the gate.
- A continuously-animating state (timer, mid-slide) can't be a stable baseline — drop the shot.
## Retries
- **`retries: 0`** in both configs. A failure is real; don't mask it with a retry.
## Where things are
- Per-test logs (JS console + cpp): `tests/logs/{wxwidgets,kicad}/<test-name>/`.
- Guard: `npm run lint:determinism`. Screenshot gate: `npm run screenshots:check`.
