# Description of Changes
Fix Playwright failing test in SaaS (I think this is my third attempt
now so who knows if this will actually fix it for real this time, but
hopefully it does)
## Description
Consolidates Playwright running under cohesive Task namespaces, isolates
Playwright state from the developer's local working tree, and swaps CI's
frontend webserver from `vite` dev to `vite preview` against a pre-built
`dist/`.
### `e2e:*` namespace
Renames `.taskfiles/testing.yml` to `.taskfiles/e2e.yml` and
consolidates everything Playwright-related under one `e2e:` namespace:
- `e2e:stubbed` / `e2e:live` / `e2e:enterprise` / `e2e:cross-browser`:
project-specific runners
- `e2e:check` (no-Docker subset) and `e2e:check:all` (full)
- `e2e:oauth:up` / `:down`, `e2e:saml:up` / `:down`: symmetric lifecycle
for the keycloak compose stacks
- `e2e:install`: Playwright browser install
- `docker:test`: full Docker integration suite
The redundant `frontend:test:e2e:*` project shortcuts are removed. CI
workflows (`e2e-stubbed.yml`, `e2e-live.yml`, `build-enterprise.yml`,
`nightly.yml`) are updated to call the new task names.
### Isolated Playwright state
New `STIRLING_BASE_PATH` (and `-Dstirling.base-path=`) override in
`InstallationPathConfig` redirects the entire state tree (configs,
backups, customFiles, pipeline, logs) at startup. `task e2e:live` points
it at `.test-state/playwright/` (purged on every invocation) so the
suite never touches the developer's local DB, settings.yml or backups.
`task e2e:live` auto-spawns gradle, waits for `/api/v1/info/status` to
come up, runs Playwright, then tears down the whole backend process
tree.
### CI runs Playwright against `vite preview`
Builds the frontend up-front with `VITE_BUILD_FOR_PREVIEW=1` (forces
absolute base so deep SPA routes resolve `/assets/...`) and the
playwright `webServer` now uses `vite preview --port 5173 --strictPort`
in CI. Avoids the per-page on-demand transform cost that was blowing the
30s navigation timeout under `--workers=3` on
`all-tool-pages-load.spec.ts`. Local dev keeps `vite` dev for HMR.
### OAuth/SAML compose helpers
`start-oauth-test.sh` and `start-saml-test.sh` gain a `--license-key
<KEY>` (`-k`) flag so CI and scripted runs can skip the interactive
license prompt. `start-oauth-test.sh` also moves from `for arg in "$@"`
to a `while`-with-`shift` arg loop to support multi-arg flags
consistently with the SAML script.
### Backend gradlew unification
Drops the per-platform `cmd /c gradlew.bat` branches from `backend.yml`
and routes every gradle invocation through `bash gradlew`. Works
uniformly on Linux/macOS and Windows-with-Git-Bash.
### Compare.tsx flake fix (re-land of
[#6316](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/6316))
Piggybacks Anthony's never-merged fix from #6316. Without it,
`e2e:stubbed` continues to flake under `--workers=3` on
`compare.spec.ts`'s second-upload case via a React "Maximum update depth
exceeded" infinite loop in the Compare auto-fill effect. CI traces from
recent failed runs match exactly; 10 local runs of `compare.spec.ts`
with `CI=1 --workers=3` pass cleanly with the fix applied.
