Summary

Adds .github/workflows/e2e.yaml for the Playwright E2E smoke tests implemented in PR #25.

Triggers on push/PR to main, and workflow_dispatch
Builds the plugin, deploys via scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh to privilegedescalation-dev
Runs E2E tests with npm run e2e (intel-gpu uses npm, not pnpm)
Uploads Playwright report and test results on failure
Always tears down via scripts/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh
Concurrency group prevents concurrent runs from sharing E2E resources in the cluster
Uses runs-on: runners-privilegedescalation (self-hosted ARC)
Follows the headlamp-polaris-plugin E2E workflow pattern exactly

Depends on PR #25 (Gandalf's Playwright test implementation) being merged first.

Closes PRI-910

Workflow looks solid. Pinned Headlamp version instead of :latest — good call. Concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false prevents teardown skip. if: always() on teardown ensures cleanup. Diagnostic collection on failure will save debugging time. Self-hosted ARC runners, npm (correct for this repo), artifact uploads on failure only.

Approved.

QA Review — APPROVED

Workflow logic verified against the test/deploy infrastructure from PR #25.

Review

Runner: runners-privilegedescalation ✓ (org ARC runner, not GitHub-hosted)
Concurrency: cancel-in-progress: false with group e2e-${{ github.repository }} — correct. Cancelling would skip if: always() teardown, leaving orphaned cluster resources. Queuing is the right choice here ✓
Headlamp version: v0.40.1 pinned — avoids :latest flakiness with IfNotPresent pull policy ✓
Build: npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin build — invokes the locally-installed @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin dev dependency; equivalent to npm run build ✓
Deploy: Calls scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh, loads .env.e2e into $GITHUB_ENV to pass HEADLAMP_URL and HEADLAMP_TOKEN to the Playwright step ✓
Playwright install: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium — correct, installs system deps needed on ARC runners ✓
Teardown: if: always() on teardown step — runs even when tests fail, preventing orphaned resources in privilegedescalation-dev ✓
Diagnostics: if: failure() step dumps pod describe + events for debugging ✓
Artifacts: Playwright report + test-results uploaded on failure with 7-day retention ✓

Minor Note (non-blocking)

npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin build works but npm run build would be more idiomatic (uses the script from package.json directly). Either works fine.

Verdict

Workflow is correct and safe. Pairs correctly with PR #25. Approved.
