What does this change?

Adds the capability to:

  • e2e test signed in behaviour
  • setups a secure server on CI to allow e2e tests for any features that require a secure server (e.g. YouTube)

The flow for signing in a user is as follows:

  • creates a test user via the IDAPI CODE endpoint
    • requires the secret IDAPI_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • signs into the CODE environment using the test credentials
  • sets the GU_U cookie
  • relies on third party cookies as per the detailed-setup-guide.md

The sign-in flow requires DCR to be run on a known secure server, hence this change also adds setup on CI for the server https://r.gulocal.com.

Regular e2e tests and secure tests are distinguished by the test filename postfix of:

  • regular: *.e2e.spec.ts
  • secure: *.e2e.secure.spec.ts

The above file patterns are used as filters for the the workflows playwright.yml and playwright-secure.yml

Why?

Since the move to Okta we have lost the ability to test sign-in flows.

This change restores that capability.

Notes

This test introduces a dependency on CODE infrastructure which we need to monitor. Identity's e2e tests also rely on the same CODE endpoints so there is some existing load but DCR's tests will increase the request volume to that endpoint.

We'll need to monitor this test for any flakiness.

If the complexity of maintaining this test outweighs its usefulness then we can revert.

Rename to `signed-out.e2e.spec.ts`
- creates a test user via the IDAPI test endpoint
- sets user cookies
- relies on third party cookies enabled by default in Playwright to work
…lso in CI

This is used by identity libraries to determine whether to use CODE or PROD endpoints
- setups secure server
- runs *.e2e.secure.spec.ts tests
