End to End Testing

Even if you're new to Playwright E2E testing, getting started is simple—just run npm run e2e in your terminal, and the Playwright UI will launch automatically.

SonicJS uses Playwright for end-to-end (E2E) testing. While the test suite is still a work in progress, it currently includes coverage for the most critical functionality, ensuring key aspects of the platform are stable and reliable.

Current Test Coverage

  • ✅ Authentication Flows
    Tests cover login, logout, and session management to ensure secure and consistent access control.

  • ✅ Core API Endpoints
    Critical API routes are tested to verify correct behavior and error handling under various conditions.

Goals

The E2E test suite will continue to expand over time, with the goal of covering:

  • Page rendering and navigation
  • Content creation and editing flows
  • Admin dashboard features
  • Role-based access control scenarios

Notes

  • Tests are written using Playwright's modern and reliable testing framework, which supports headless and interactive modes.
  • Contributions to improve and expand the test suite are welcome!

Running the Tests

You will need to run npx playwright install to install the Playwright test runner browser (chromium) and dependencies.

To run the Playwright tests:

npm run e2e
