E2E Testing Module

Browser automation tests for Agent Orchestrator using WebDriverIO + tauri-driver.

Quick Start

# Preflight check (validates dependencies)
./scripts/preflight-check.sh

# Build debug binary + run E2E
npm run test:all:e2e

# Run E2E only (skip build)
SKIP_BUILD=1 npm run test:e2e

# Headless (CI)
xvfb-run --auto-servernum npm run test:e2e

System Dependencies

Tool	Required	Install
tauri-driver	Yes	cargo install tauri-driver
Debug binary	Yes	cargo tauri build --debug --no-bundle
X11/Wayland	Yes (Linux)	Use xvfb-run in CI
Claude CLI	Optional	LLM-judged tests skip if absent
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Optional	Alternative to Claude CLI for LLM judge

Test Mode Environment Variables

Variable	Purpose	Read By
AGOR_TEST=1	Enable test isolation	config.rs, misc.rs, lib.rs, watcher.rs, fs_watcher.rs, telemetry.rs, App.svelte
AGOR_TEST_DATA_DIR	Override data dir	config.rs
AGOR_TEST_CONFIG_DIR	Override config dir	config.rs

Effects when AGOR_TEST=1:

• File watchers disabled (watcher.rs, fs_watcher.rs)
• OTLP telemetry export disabled (telemetry.rs)
• CLI tool installation skipped (lib.rs)
• Wake scheduler disabled (App.svelte)
• Test env vars forwarded to sidecar processes (lib.rs)

Test Phases

Phase	File	Tests	Type
Smoke	agor.test.ts	50+	Deterministic (CSS/DOM assertions)
A	agent-scenarios.test.ts	22	Deterministic (data-testid selectors)
B	phase-b.test.ts	6+	LLM-judged (multi-project, agent quality)
C	phase-c.test.ts	11 scenarios	Mixed (deterministic + LLM-judged)

Adding a New Spec

1. Create tests/e2e/specs/my-feature.test.ts
2. Import from @wdio/globals for browser and expect
3. Use data-testid selectors (preferred) or CSS classes
4. Add to wdio.conf.js specs array
5. For LLM assertions: import { assertWithJudge } from '../infra/llm-judge'
6. Run ./scripts/check-test-flags.sh if you added new AGOR_TEST references

CI Workflow

See .github/workflows/e2e.yml — 3 jobs:

1. unit-tests: vitest frontend
2. cargo-tests: Rust backend
3. e2e-tests: WebDriverIO (xvfb-run, Phase A+B+C, LLM tests gated on secret)
