Blog Smoke Tests Skill

Blog Smoke Tests Skill

Run Playwright smoke tests against the Denser blog application.

Features

• 15 smoke tests organized by priority (P0-P4)
• Retry logic - max 3 attempts per failing test
• Headed/​headless modes - choose visible or background execution
• Artifact collection - screenshots and trace.zip on failures
• HTML report - comprehensive test results report
• Tracing - Playwright traces for debugging failures

Workflow

Step 1: Ask User Preferences

Before running tests, ask user:

1. Target environment:

   • Production (default) - https://blog.openhive.network
   • Dev - https://blog.dev.openhive.network
   • Localhost - http://localhost:3000

2. Browser mode:

   • Headed (default) - visible browser, good for debugging
   • Headless - faster, for CI/​CD

3. Test scope:

   • All - run all 15 tests
   • P0 - critical tests only (SMOKE-01, 04, 08)
   • P1 - important tests (SMOKE-05, 06, 07)
   • P2 - tooltip tests (SMOKE-02, 03, 09)
   • P3 - navigation tests (SMOKE-10, 11, 12)
   • P4 - additional tests (SMOKE-13, 14, 15)

Step 2: Prepare Directories

# Create temp and report directories
mkdir -p /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog/​playwright/​temp_ai_script_tests
mkdir -p /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog/​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests

# Copy test scripts
cp /​storage1/​denser/​.claude/​skills/​blog-smoke-tests/​scripts/​smoke-*.mjs /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog/​playwright/​temp_ai_script_tests/

Step 3: Run Tests with Retry Logic

For each test:

1. Run test script with REPORT_DIR set
2. If FAIL, retry up to 2 more times (max 3 attempts total)
3. Wait 2 seconds between retries
4. Collect JSON result from output (line starting with __RESULT__)
5. On failure: artifacts saved automatically (screenshot + trace.zip)

Command to run single test:

cd /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog
BASE_URL=https://blog.openhive.network HEADLESS=false REPORT_DIR=./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests pnpm exec node playwright/​temp_ai_script_tests/​smoke-XX-name.mjs

Replace:

• BASE_URL=https://blog.openhive.network with chosen environment URL
• HEADLESS=false with HEADLESS=true for headless mode

Parsing JSON result: Each test outputs a JSON line prefixed with __RESULT__:

__RESULT__{"id":"SMOKE-01","name":"Homepage Posts","priority":"P0","passed":true,"error":null,"artifacts":[]}

Step 4: Generate HTML Report

After running all tests, collect results and generate HTML report:

# Option 1: Using generate-report.mjs script
cd /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog
pnpm exec node /​storage1/​denser/​.claude/​skills/​blog-smoke-tests/​scripts/​generate-report.mjs '[results-json-array]'

Alternatively, create report manually based on collected results.

Report location: ./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests/​report.html

Step 5: Cleanup

After all tests complete:

rm -f /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog/​playwright/​temp_ai_script_tests/​smoke-*.mjs

Keep report directory with:

• report.html - HTML test report
• SMOKE-XX-failure.png - screenshots of failures
• SMOKE-XX-trace.zip - Playwright traces for failures

Step 6: Summary

Present results:

========================================
SMOKE TEST SUMMARY: X/​Y PASSED
========================================
✓ [P0] SMOKE-01: Homepage Posts
✓ [P0] SMOKE-04: Post Navigation
✓ [P0] SMOKE-08: User Profile
✓ [P1] SMOKE-05: Votes API
...
✗ [P3] SMOKE-11: Categories (3 attempts)
...
========================================

HTML Report: ./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests/​report.html
Artifacts: ./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests/

To view traces: npx playwright show-trace ./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests/​SMOKE-XX-trace.zip

Artifacts on Failure

When a test fails, the following artifacts are saved:

Viewing Traces:

cd /​storage1/​denser/​apps/​blog
npx playwright show-trace ./​playwright/​temp_ai_report_tests/​SMOKE-04-trace.zip

Retry Logic Pattern

const MAX_RETRIES = 3;
const results = [];

for (const test of tests) {
  let passed = false;
  let attempts = 0;
  let lastError = null;
  let artifacts = [];

  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= MAX_RETRIES; attempt++) {
    attempts = attempt;
    const output = await runTest(test);

    // Parse __RESULT__ from output
    const resultLine = output.match(/​__RESULT__(.+)/);
    if (resultLine) {
      const result = JSON.parse(resultLine[1]);
      passed = result.passed;
      lastError = result.error;
      artifacts = result.artifacts;
    }

    if (passed) break;

    if (attempt < MAX_RETRIES) {
      console.log(`Retry ${attempt + 1}/​${MAX_RETRIES} in 2 seconds...`);
      await sleep(2000);
    }
  }

  results.push({
    id: test.id,
    name: test.name,
    priority: test.priority,
    passed,
    attempts,
    error: lastError,
    artifacts
  });
}
