Verify (ActiveCAMT)

Most changes here are admin-gated pages/APIs behind NextAuth Google OAuth, which you can't drive headlessly. Use the built-in Dev Bypass Login credentials provider instead of mocking anything.

Setup

1. Bring up local DB: see /db-local skill (docker start activecamt-db, wait for pg_isready, npx tsx --env-file=.env.local src/db/migrate.ts).
2. Add ENABLE_DEV_LOGIN=true to .env.local (temporary — remove it again when done; it's gated to NODE_ENV=development + this flag + refuses a remote DATABASE_URL, but don't leave it committed).
3. Start the dev server: npm run dev > /tmp/dev-server.log 2>&1 &, poll curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:3000 until it responds.

Log in without Google OAuth

The dev bypass is a Credentials provider (src/auth.ts) that upserts a local user and signs them in. Drive it via HTTP (works with curl using a cookie jar, or Playwright's request context so cookies land in a browser context too):

const csrfRes = await ctx.request.get('http://localhost:3000/api/auth/csrf');
const { csrfToken } = await csrfRes.json();
await ctx.request.post('http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/credentials', {
  form: {
    csrfToken,
    email: 'dev-superadmin@localhost.test',
    name: 'Dev Super Admin',
    role: 'super_admin',   // one of: student, smo, club_president, admin, super_admin
    callbackUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/admin/appeals',
  },
});

Then ctx.newPage() and page.goto(...) — the context already carries the session cookie. (A raw curl -c cookies.txt jar also works for API-only checks; Playwright's addCookies from a Netscape-format jar is fiddly — prefer driving the login through ctx.request in the same browser context instead.)

Screenshotting (Playwright not in package.json)

npx playwright install chromium downloads the browser but the playwright npm package itself isn't a project dependency, so plain import { chromium } from 'playwright' fails outside the project. Import it by absolute path from the npx cache instead:

import { chromium } from '/Users/<you>/.npm/_npx/<hash>/node_modules/playwright/index.mjs';

Find <hash> with find ~/.npm/_npx -maxdepth 4 -iname playwright -type d.

Gotchas hit in practice

• docker exec activecamt-db psql ... <<'SQL' silently does nothing without -i — docker exec needs -i to read stdin from a heredoc. Always docker exec -i.
• Button text probes with Playwright has-text("Reject") can accidentally match "Rejected" (substring match) — prefer exact selectors or scope to a specific card.
• No-show/appeals data model: attendance.status = 'no_show' rows are the durable per-event record (there's no separate strike-log table); users.noShowCount is just a counter that appeal-approval/reset zeroes without touching those attendance rows.

Teardown

• Kill the dev server: pkill -f "next dev --webpack".
• Remove ENABLE_DEV_LOGIN=true from .env.local again.
• Local DB seed data left behind is harmless (never prod) — fine to leave for next time.
