Add E2E test workflow with Playwright in CI

[Wilfred007]

What

e2e.yml workflow exists and Playwright is configured but needs proper CI integration with backend + frontend services.

Why

E2E tests catch integration issues between frontend and backend that unit tests miss. Currently not enforced.

Scope

In scope: CI starts backend + frontend, runs Playwright, uploads report as artifact
Out of scope: Visual regression, cross-browser matrix

Acceptance Criteria

• E2E tests run on every PR touching frontend
• Backend and frontend started in CI
• Test report uploaded as artifact
• Failed tests block merge

Technical Context

• .github/workflows/e2e.yml — existing workflow
• frontend/playwright.config.ts — Playwright config
• frontend/e2e/ — 5 test files

Hello! I would like to work on this issue.

I would love to take this on. My planned approach:

• Create reproduction and validation suites for Add E2E test workflow with Playwright in CI to ensure regression-free behavior.
• Validate both positive flows and negative/revert branches.

I can start working on this right away. Please assign!

Hi maintainers, I’d like to take #555. I checked current main at af5c348e83033ed3340e589b68e8554f0303060e: .github/workflows/e2e.yml already triggers on frontend PRs, runs Playwright, and uploads reports; frontend/playwright.config.ts starts Vite. The missing integration is that the workflow never starts or checks the backend, while the E2E fixture intercepts /api requests. In an isolated local checkout, CI=1 npm run test:e2e -- --project=chromium passed all 16 Chromium tests. My approach is to add a test-safe backend startup and bounded backend/frontend readiness checks, exercise at least one real backend request while keeping external Stellar/RPC calls mocked, preserve report artifacts, and prove an E2E failure fails CI. I’ll keep visual regression and browser-matrix expansion out of scope. Please assign me if this issue is available.

Hey maintainers,

I would love to take this on. My planned approach:

• Implement robust automated tests covering Add E2E test workflow with Playwright in CI with clean isolation and assertion checks.
• Ensure zero flake and 100% green pass rate across the test suite.

Looking forward to collaborating on this—please assign!
