Ops: Browser UAT

Perform browser-based user acceptance testing using Playwright MCP tools.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS — scenario and environment (e.g., smoke-test dev, login staging, player-detail dev, custom production /path)

Prerequisites

1. Load Playwright MCP tools — use ToolSearch to search for playwright browser and load all browser tools.
2. Verify target environment is up — curl check the frontend URL before launching the browser.
3. For localhost — ensure the frontend is running on port 8081.

Discovery

Before running any scenario, read these project files to discover configuration:

1. e2e/constants.ts — environment URLs, test credentials (phone, OTP), timeouts, viewports
2. e2e/selectors.ts — all data-testid values organized by feature area
3. e2e/fixtures/auth.fixture.ts — exact login/logout flow to replicate via MCP tools
4. playwright.config.ts — video/trace recording config, test directory

Authentication Procedure

Replicate the login flow from e2e/fixtures/auth.fixture.ts using Playwright MCP tools. Read the file to get the exact steps, which typically follow this pattern:

Login

1. browser_navigate to {BASE_URL}/signin
2. browser_snapshot to discover page elements
3. browser_fill_form — fill the phone input (discover placeholder text from auth fixture)
4. Wait for form validation debounce (typically 500ms)
5. browser_click — click the "Next" button
6. browser_wait_for — wait for URL to contain confirm-code (timeout from constants)
7. browser_snapshot to discover OTP input
8. browser_fill_form — fill the OTP input (discover testid from selectors, value from constants)
9. browser_wait_for — wait for URL to NOT contain confirm-code
10. browser_take_screenshot — capture login proof

Dismiss Error Overlay

Expo's development error overlay may appear. Dismiss it:

1. browser_evaluate with script:
   javascriptCopy

   document.getElementById('error-overlay')?.remove();
   document.querySelectorAll('[id*="error"]').forEach(el => el.remove());
   

2. browser_press_key — press "Escape" as backup

Check if Logged In

// browser_evaluate
localStorage.getItem("@authData") !== null

Logout

Discover the menu button and sign-out flow from e2e/selectors.ts and e2e/fixtures/auth.fixture.ts:

1. browser_click — menu button element (discover testid from selectors)
2. browser_click — element with text "Sign Out"
3. browser_wait_for — URL contains signin

Selector Reference

Read e2e/selectors.ts to get the complete data-testid reference for the project. The selectors object is organized by feature area (auth, nav, home sections, player detail, etc.).

Use [data-testid="{TESTID}"] to target elements in Playwright MCP tools.

Built-in UAT Scenarios

1. smoke-test

Full app walkthrough. Read e2e/selectors.ts to identify which sections and elements to verify:

1. Login (auth procedure above)
2. Home screen — verify key sections exist using selectors from the project
3. Feature pages — navigate to 2-3 key routes and verify content loads
4. Logout → verify redirect to signin
5. Screenshot at each step

2. login

Just the login flow with screenshot proof.

3. home-screen

Login → verify all home screen sections have data. Screenshot each section.

4. custom

Login → navigate to user-specified URL → interact as instructed → screenshot.

Proof Recording

At each verification point:

1. browser_take_screenshot — visual proof of current state
2. browser_console_messages — check for JavaScript errors
3. browser_network_requests — monitor for failed API calls (4xx, 5xx)

Output Format

Report UAT results as a table:

Include total PASS/FAIL count and any JS errors or failed network requests observed.
