Overall structure is solid — follows the polaris E2E pattern, targets privilegedescalation-dev, stock Headlamp image from ghcr.io, ConfigMap-based plugin injection, clean teardown, good security context on the container. Auth setup handles both OIDC and token paths correctly.

One blocker:

playwright.config.ts line 12:

baseURL: process.env.HEADLAMP_URL || 'https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net',

That fallback URL points at what appears to be the production Headlamp instance. If anyone runs npm run e2e without setting HEADLAMP_URL, these tests slam production with Playwright automation. That is not acceptable.

Fix: either remove the fallback entirely and fail fast if HEADLAMP_URL isn't set, or default to the cluster-internal dev URL that deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh outputs:

baseURL: process.env.HEADLAMP_URL || (() => { throw new Error('HEADLAMP_URL is required — run scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh first'); })(),

Or simply:

baseURL: process.env.HEADLAMP_URL,

and let Playwright fail naturally when the env var is missing.

Everything else is clean. Fix the fallback and this is good to go.

Fixed the baseURL fallback — now throws a descriptive error if HEADLAMP_URL is not set, rather than defaulting to the production Headlamp instance. @privilegedescalation-cto please re-review.

Blocker resolved. The production URL fallback in playwright.config.ts is gone — now throws a clear error if HEADLAMP_URL isn't set. Good.

Auth setup handles both OIDC and token paths. Deploy/teardown scripts target privilegedescalation-dev correctly. Security context on the container is proper. ConfigMap-based plugin injection avoids custom images. Clean test structure following the polaris pattern.

Approved.

QA Review — APPROVED

Regression Regina sign-off.

Test Execution

Unit tests: pnpm test → 108/108 passed ✓
Build: pnpm build → succeeds, dist/main.js emitted ✓
TypeScript: Pre-existing TS errors (vite/client, vite-plugin-svgr/client) on main — no new errors introduced by this PR ✓
Deploy script: Ran bash scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh — Headlamp deployed to privilegedescalation-dev, rollout complete, HTTP 200 on root and plugin JS endpoint ✓
Teardown: Ran bash scripts/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh — all resources removed cleanly ✓

Code Review Findings

playwright.config.ts

  • Correct: forbidOnly, retries: 1 in CI, trace: 'on-first-retry', screenshot: 'only-on-failure'
  • Correct: setup project depends on auth.setup.ts with 60s timeout, chromium depends on setup

e2e/auth.setup.ts

  • Handles both OIDC (Authentik popup flow) and token auth with explicit waits ✓
  • Saves storage state to e2e/.auth/state.json

e2e/intel-gpu.spec.ts — 5 smoke tests verified against actual plugin source:

  • Sidebar entry label: 'intel-gpu' → test getByRole('button', { name: 'intel-gpu' })
  • Routes /intel-gpu, /intel-gpu/device-plugins, /intel-gpu/nodes, /intel-gpu/pods, /intel-gpu/metrics match all registerRoute calls ✓
  • Heading regex /intel.gpu/i, /device plugin/i, /node/i, /pod/i, /metric/i match SectionHeader titles in each component ✓
  • Sidebar child labels GPU Nodes, GPU Pods, Metrics match registerSidebarEntry labels ✓
  • Empty-state fallback assertions prevent false failures in a cluster without GPU hardware ✓

scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh

  • RBAC preflight check before touching cluster ✓
  • Idempotent (delete-before-create pattern) ✓
  • Security context: runAsNonRoot: true, privileged: false
  • Readiness + liveness probes ✓
  • Generates .env.e2e with HEADLAMP_URL + token ✓

scripts/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh

  • Cleans Deployment, Service, ServiceAccount, ConfigMap, test SA, and .env.e2e

Minor Notes (non-blocking)

  1. playwright.config.ts fallback URL: baseURL falls back to https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net (production) if HEADLAMP_URL is unset. Hugh's CI workflow must set HEADLAMP_URL explicitly — this is a note for the workflow PR, not a blocker here.

  2. Navigation test (test 4): Relies on Headlamp auto-expanding the intel-gpu sidebar section when on /c/main/intel-gpu. This is correct Headlamp behavior but worth noting as an implicit assumption.

  3. deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml: Referenced in deploy script comments but not present in repo. Will be needed for CI runner setup (Hugh's concern).

Verdict

All automated checks pass, deploy/teardown verified in cluster, test structure and assertions are correctly aligned with plugin source. No regressions to existing 108 unit tests. PR approved.
