This PR adds a complete Playwright testing setup to the dev/preact application, providing end-to-end test coverage for the Preact-based development environment.

What's Added

Testing Infrastructure

  • Playwright configuration (playwright.config.ts) with automatic dev server integration
  • Test directory structure (tests/e2e/) separate from unit tests
  • Browser setup using Playwright's managed browsers (automatic installation)
  • NPM scripts for running e2e tests (test:e2e, test:e2e:ui)

Test Coverage

A comprehensive home page test that validates:

  • Page loads correctly at the root route (/)
  • Page title matches expected "Vite + Preact" format
  • Critical DOM elements are rendered (app container, main content area)
  • Application-specific content is displayed (welcome message, description text)

Configuration Updates

  • Vitest isolation: Updated vite.config.ts to exclude Playwright tests from vitest runner
  • Dependency management: Added @playwright/test to dev dependencies
  • Test separation: Unit tests (vitest) and e2e tests (Playwright) run independently
  • Git exclusions: Added playwright-report/ and test-results/ to .gitignore to prevent generated files from being tracked

Key Features

🚀 Zero-configuration testing: Tests automatically start the dev server, run tests, and clean up
🔧 CI/CD ready: Uses Playwright-managed browsers, works reliably in containerized environments
📊 Rich reporting: HTML test reports with screenshots and traces on failures
🔄 Developer friendly: UI mode available for interactive test development

Usage

# Run end-to-end tests
npm run test:e2e

# Run with interactive UI
npm run test:e2e:ui

# Unit tests continue to work as before
npm test

The setup ensures that both testing frameworks coexist without conflicts, providing comprehensive coverage from unit level to full user workflows. The test validates that the Preact application correctly renders the welcome page with all expected content and interactive elements.

@copilot Why is this here? The reports should be excluded from git completely. Update .gitignore.

You're absolutely right! I've removed the Playwright report files from git tracking and updated the .gitignore to exclude /playwright-report/ and /test-results/ directories. These are generated files that should never be committed to version control. Fixed in commit 472cfb9.

@copilot Let Playwright install its own browsers, do not rely on the user setup having something available. Chrome may not be installed, or it may be installed at a different path.

Updated the Playwright configuration to remove the hardcoded chromium path. Playwright will now install and manage its own browsers automatically, making it work reliably across different environments. Fixed in commit 99d9770.
