provides:
  - E2E test suite covering 5 core user journeys
  - Database seeding fixture for consistent test data
  - Multi-viewport testing (desktop + mobile)
  - Screenshot capture on test failure

key-decisions:

  - "Manual SQL cleanup instead of drizzle-seed reset (better type compatibility)"
  - "Screenshots only on failure, no video (per CONTEXT.md)"

patterns-established:
  - "E2E fixture pattern: seededDb provides test data fixture with cleanup"
  - "Multi-viewport testing: chromium-desktop and chromium-mobile projects"
  - "Test organization: test.describe() groups for each user journey"

# Phase 9 Plan 3: E2E Test Suite Summary

**Playwright E2E tests covering create/edit/search/organize/delete workflows with database seeding fixtures and desktop+mobile viewport testing**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 6 min
- **Started:** 2026-02-03T22:32:42Z
- **Completed:** 2026-02-03T22:38:28Z
- **Tasks:** 3
- **Files modified:** 6

## Accomplishments

- Configured Playwright for E2E with multi-viewport testing (desktop + mobile)
- Created database seeding fixture with 5 entries, 3 tags, and entry-tag relationships
- Wrote 17 E2E tests covering all 5 core user journeys (34 total with 2 viewports)
- Separated Docker deployment tests into own config to preserve existing workflow

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Update Playwright configuration** - `3664afb` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Create database seeding fixture** - `283a921` (feat)
3. **Task 3: Write E2E tests for user journeys** - `ced5ef2` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified

- `playwright.config.ts` - E2E config with multi-viewport, screenshots on failure, webServer
- `playwright.docker.config.ts` - Separate config for Docker deployment tests
- `tests/e2e/fixtures/db.ts` - Database seeding fixture with predictable test data
- `tests/e2e/index.ts` - Re-exports extended test with seededDb fixture
- `tests/e2e/user-journeys.spec.ts` - 17 E2E tests for core user journeys (420 lines)
- `package.json` - Updated test:e2e:docker to use separate config

## Decisions Made

1. **Single worker execution** - Shared SQLite database requires sequential test execution to avoid race conditions
2. **Manual cleanup over drizzle-seed reset** - reset() has type incompatibility issues with schema; direct SQL DELETE is more reliable
3. **Separate docker config** - Preserves existing docker-deployment.spec.ts workflow without interference from E2E webServer config
4. **Predictable test IDs** - Test data uses fixed IDs (test-entry-001, etc.) for reliable assertions

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

1. **drizzle-seed reset() type errors** - The reset() function has type compatibility issues with BetterSQLite3Database when schema is provided. Resolved by using direct SQL DELETE statements instead, which provides better control over cleanup order anyway.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- E2E test suite ready for CI pipeline integration
- All 5 user journeys covered: create, edit, search, organize, delete
- Tests verified working locally with webServer auto-start
- Ready for 09-04 (GitHub Actions / CI workflow)
