Chris Farhood d837987916 fix: update e2e tests for drawer navigation pattern
Update Playwright e2e tests to match the new drawer-based namespace
detail navigation instead of the old full-page route pattern.

Changes:
- Update "namespaces page" test: expect buttons instead of links
- Update "namespace detail" test: expect drawer to open instead of page navigation
- Add test for URL hash in drawer
- Add test for Escape key closing drawer
- Add test for opening drawer directly from URL hash

All tests now validate the drawer UX pattern with hash-based navigation.

E2E Smoke Tests

Playwright-based smoke tests that validate the Polaris plugin against a live Headlamp deployment.

CI

E2E tests run automatically in Gitea Actions on pushes to main and pull requests. The workflow (.gitea/workflows/e2e.yaml) uses Authentik OIDC for authentication via repo secrets.

Required Gitea secrets

Secret Description
AUTHENTIK_USERNAME Authentik email or username for a CI user with Headlamp access
AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD Password for that user

Running Locally

Option 1: OIDC via Authentik (same as CI)

AUTHENTIK_USERNAME=you@example.com AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD=... npm run e2e

The default base URL is https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net. Override with HEADLAMP_URL if needed.

Option 2: K8s bearer token (port-forward)

kubectl port-forward -n kube-system svc/headlamp 4466:80
export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system)
HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e

Or in headed mode (opens a browser window):

HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e:headed

Environment Variables

Variable Required Default Description
HEADLAMP_URL No https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net Base URL of the Headlamp instance
AUTHENTIK_USERNAME OIDC Authentik email/username
AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD OIDC Authentik password
HEADLAMP_TOKEN Token Kubernetes bearer token (fallback auth)

Set either AUTHENTIK_USERNAME + AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD or HEADLAMP_TOKEN. OIDC takes priority if both are set.

What the Tests Validate

  • Sidebar entry — The Polaris sidebar item appears after login
  • Overview page — Cluster score and check distribution render correctly
  • Namespaces page — Table of namespaces loads with clickable links
  • Namespace detail — Clicking a namespace shows its score and resource table

These are smoke tests against real cluster data. They verify the plugin loads and renders without errors, not specific data values.
