Summary

Fixes remaining E2E test failures introduced by the DataTable component migration in #1095 that were not addressed in #1176.

  • AppShellPage: sidebarCloseButton now points to FAB (data-testid="menu-fab") — the close button inside <aside> was removed in PR fix(sidebar): remove redundant close button from mobile sidebar #1168; overlay now uses data-testid="sidebar-overlay" instead of a fragile generic selector
  • WorkItemsPage + HouseholdItemsPage: getWorkItemTitles() / getItemNames() selector changed from [class*="titleCell"] (does not exist) to [class*="itemLink"] (actual CSS Modules class in production code)
  • HouseholdItemsPage: clearAreaFilter() uses .first() to avoid strict mode when DataTable renders "Clear Filters" in both toolbar and empty state action simultaneously
  • VendorsPage: openDeleteModal() completely rewritten — was trying getByRole('button', { name: 'Delete ${vendorName}' }) which never existed; now correctly navigates the custom per-row menu (class*="menuButton") and clicks the danger item (class*="menuItem" class*="menuItemDanger")
  • UserManagementPage: emptyState locator changed from getByText(/No users found/) to [class*="emptyState"].first() — DataTable shows "No items match the current filters" (not the page-specific message) when a search is active
  • search-users.spec.ts: Updated assertion to accept both empty state messages (/no users|no items match/)
  • vendors.spec.ts: Updated empty state assertion to accept DataTable generic message; updated column header assertions from Phone/Email (removed in EPIC-18) to Trade/Contact
  • datatable-ux-fixes.spec.ts + datatable-date-range-picker.spec.ts: Added .first() on "Clear Filters" button references to avoid strict mode violations when both toolbar and empty state action buttons are rendered simultaneously

Test plan

  • CI Quality Gates pass on this PR
  • E2E tests for AppShell sidebar open/close pass across viewports
  • E2E tests for work items and household items list (title display) pass
  • E2E tests for vendor delete flow pass
  • E2E tests for user search empty state pass
  • E2E tests for vendors column headers pass
  • E2E tests for DataTable date filter (date range picker and UX fixes) pass

…taTable migration

- AppShellPage: fix sidebarCloseButton to use FAB (aside close button removed in PR #1168);
  fix overlay locator to use data-testid="sidebar-overlay" instead of generic div[aria-hidden]
- WorkItemsPage/HouseholdItemsPage: fix getWorkItemTitles()/getItemNames() selector from
  [class*="titleCell"] to [class*="itemLink"] (CSS Modules class from styles.itemLink)
- HouseholdItemsPage.clearAreaFilter: use .first() to avoid strict mode violation when
  DataTable renders two "Clear Filters" buttons (toolbar + empty state)
- VendorsPage.openDeleteModal: rewrite to use DataTable actions menu pattern (⋮ button
  opens a dropdown; delete is a danger menu item, not an aria-labelled standalone button)
- UserManagementPage: update emptyState locator from page.getByText(/No users found/)
  to page.locator('[class*="emptyState"]').first() to match filtered state message
- search-users.spec.ts: update empty state assertion to match DataTable filtered message
  "No items match the current filters" when search is active
- vendors.spec.ts: update empty state message assertion (DataTable generic message);
  fix column headers test (Phone/Email → Contact/Trade after EPIC-18 DataTable migration)
- datatable-date-range-picker.spec.ts: use .first() for Clear Filters button to avoid
  strict mode when DataTable renders it in both toolbar and empty state action
- datatable-ux-fixes.spec.ts: same .first() fix for Scenario 2 and Scenario 4

…migration

- WorkItemsPage: fix deleteConfirmButton selector from [class*="confirmDeleteButton"]
  to [class*="btnConfirmDelete"] — delete confirm button uses sharedStyles.btnConfirmDelete,
  not a page-specific confirmDeleteButton class
- HouseholdItemsPage: fix deleteModal from aria-labelledby="#hi-delete-modal-title" (never
  existed — Modal uses useId() for dynamic IDs) to getByRole('dialog', { name: /delete/i })
- HouseholdItemsPage: fix deleteConfirmButton selector same as WorkItemsPage (btnConfirmDelete)
- HouseholdItemsPage: fix openDeleteModal to use button with class menuItemDanger instead of
  getByRole('menuitem') — the dropdown items are <button> elements, not role="menuitem"
- VendorsPage: fix createModalTitle and deleteModalTitle from hardcoded #create-modal-title
  / #delete-modal-title (Modal uses useId() for dynamic IDs) to heading inside the modal
- VendorsPage: fix openDeleteModal to handle mobile viewport (cards layout) in addition to
  desktop table layout
- VendorsPage: fix getVendorNames to check tableContainer.isVisible() before reading table
  rows, avoiding timeouts when table is CSS display:none on mobile

Closes #1095 (partial — remaining DateRangePicker phase reset is a production bug #1178)

DataTableCard renders the same render() function output inside
cardValue spans — no separate cardName class exists. The name
column uses vendorLink (Link with styles.vendorLink), which is
present in both table cells and cardsContainer cards.

Fix the mobile fallback in getVendorNames() to use
[class*="vendorLink"] inside cardsContainer instead of the
non-existent [class*="cardName"] selector.

Mobile openDeleteModal() was looking for [class*="cardName"] to find
the vendor in each card. DataTableCard has no cardName class — the
name column uses the same render() function as the table row, which
produces a Link with styles.vendorLink. Use [class*="vendorLink"]
inside each card to match the vendor name, consistent with the
getVendorNames() fix.

PR #1177 — Final Status

Quality Gates passed. All vendor mobile test failures are now resolved.

Fixes in this PR

  1. WorkItemsPagedeleteConfirmButton selector: [class*="confirmDeleteButton"][class*="btnConfirmDelete"] (uses sharedStyles.btnConfirmDelete)
  2. HouseholdItemsPagedeleteModal selector: removed broken aria-labelledby="hi-delete-modal-title"getByRole('dialog', { name: /delete/i })
  3. HouseholdItemsPagedeleteConfirmButton + openDeleteModal(): menu items are role="button", not role="menuitem" — use [class*="menuItemDanger"]:visible
  4. VendorsPagecreateModalTitle/deleteModalTitle: useId() dynamic IDs replaced with getByRole('heading', { level: 2 }) inside modal
  5. VendorsPageopenDeleteModal() + getVendorNames() mobile paths: [class*="cardName"] doesn't exist in DataTableCard — replaced with [class*="vendorLink"] (DataTableCard renders the same render() function output, so vendorLink class appears in both table cells and cards)

Column settings button has display:none at max-width:767px in DataTable.module.css
(line 662). Dark mode tests on mobile were asserting toBeVisible() unconditionally,
causing failures on 375px viewport.

- work-items-list.spec.ts: wrap column settings check in width >= 768 guard
- household-items-list.spec.ts: same fix
- VendorsPage.ts: remove unused sortSelect property (was duplicate of sortOrderButton,
  both pointing to the same locator — neither used in any test file)

…ltiple specs

- WorkItemsPage.getWorkItemTitles(): add tableContainer.isVisible() check before
  reading table rows; on mobile (max-width:767px), the table has display:none via
  CSS but elements remain in DOM — iterating them returned unfiltered results and
  caused textContent timeouts
- backup-restore.spec.ts: SettingsSubNav.tsx NavLink elements have role="listitem"
  (explicitly overriding the default link role), so getByRole('link') never matches;
  switch to getByRole('listitem') scoped to the settings navigation landmark.
  Also replace backupTable.waitFor (actionTimeout:5000) with expect().toBeVisible()
  (expect.timeout:7000) to avoid timing-out on slow CI runners
- oidc.spec.ts: Auth Provider column has defaultVisible:false in the user management
  DataTable; cells[3] is "Member Since" (date), not "OIDC"; update assertions to
  match the actual visible column layout and remove the hidden-column assertion
- dashboard.spec.ts: BudgetSummaryCard renders mediumNetRemaining = average of
  remainingVsMinPlanned and remainingVsMaxPlanned (37,500 with mock data), not
  remainingVsActualCost (115,000); fix the expected regex in the budget amount test

…override

SettingsSubNav.tsx renders NavLink elements with role="listitem" explicitly,
overriding the default anchor link role. getByRole('link') and
getByRole('listitem', { name: ... }) both fail — the former because the role
is overridden, the latter because ARIA listitem role does not compute accessible
name from text content.

Switch all SettingsSubNav tab assertions to getByText() scoped to the settings
navigation landmark. For the member access test, wait for the profile page
heading (h1 "Profile") before checking the nav — this ensures the page has
rendered after the auth mock triggers an AuthContext re-render.

…d of continue

The 'Create backup' test registers a POST route handler before goto() with
`route.continue()` in the else branch for non-POST requests. In Playwright,
`route.continue()` sends the request directly to the network, bypassing all
other registered route handlers. This caused the beforeEach GET mock (which
returns the two-backup list) to be skipped — the real server (no BACKUP_DIR)
returned 503 instead, and the table never appeared.

Fix: use `route.fallback()` in the else branch so non-POST requests fall
through to the next matching handler (the beforeEach GET mock) rather than
going to the network directly.

…H before reload

Register the preferences PATCH waitForResponse BEFORE clicking the dismiss
button. The UI optimistically removes the card from the DOM immediately on
click while the server write may still be in-flight. Prior to this fix,
page.reload() in the persistence test could fire before the PATCH completed,
causing the server to still have the card in the visible set on the next
load — resulting in a flaky "Dismissed card stays hidden after page reload"
failure.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two fixes for failing E2E tests:

1. backup-restore.spec.ts: The /api/auth/me mock for the member-role test
   used a flat payload ({ id, role, ... }) instead of the actual API shape
   ({ user: { ... }, setupRequired, oidcEnabled }). useAuth() reads
   response.user.role; a flat response causes AuthContext to treat the user
   as unauthenticated and redirect to /login, so the Profile heading and
   settings sub-nav were never found. Wrapped mock response in { user: {...},
   setupRequired: false, oidcEnabled: false }.

2. WorkItemsPage.ts: getWorkItemTitles() mobile fallback used
   [class*="cardTitle"] which does not exist in DataTableCard — it has no
   cardTitle class. DataTableCard renders the same render() function as table
   rows, so the title Link still has the itemLink CSS Module class. Changed
   fallback selector to [class*="itemLink"] inside cardsContainer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…chronous check

The synchronous expect(page.url()).toContain('q=') fails intermittently on
tablet because react-router URL updates from the debounced search can lag
slightly after the API response returns. Replace with page.waitForURL() which
polls until the URL contains the q= search param.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ing results

On mobile (display:none table), waitForLoaded() returns immediately when old
cards are already visible, before the filtered results replace them. This caused
getWorkItemTitles() to return stale pre-search data with items from parallel
workers.

Fix: in search(), wait for the URL to include ?q= before waiting for the API
response — this confirms the debounce has fired and React state has updated,
ensuring waitForLoaded() races against the new results rather than old ones.

Symmetric fix applied to clearSearch(): wait for ?q= param to disappear before
checking loaded state.

…t reliability

- WorkItemsPage.getWorkItemTitles(): fix mobile card fallback selector from
  [class*="cardTitle"] to [class*="itemLink"] — DataTableCard has no cardTitle class,
  it renders the same render() function as table rows which produces itemLink elements
- WorkItemsPage: add private waitForSearchParams() helper for URL-based search wait
- work-items-list.spec.ts: replace getWorkItemTitles() DOM reads in search tests with
  expect(getByRole('link')).toBeVisible() — Playwright's built-in retry handles the
  async gap between API response and React DOM re-render that caused mobile tests to
  read stale pre-search data; removes page.waitForTimeout(400) anti-pattern

Pre-existing failures NOT fixed (separate production bugs):
- datatable-date-range-picker.spec.ts: bug #1178 (DateRangePicker phase resets)
- datatable-ux-fixes.spec.ts: column drag effectAllowed browser API limitation
- i18n-categories.spec.ts: locale contamination (German bleeds into English tests)

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When user clicked the start date in DateFilter's DateRangePicker, the
phase would reset back to 'selecting-start' instead of advancing to
'selecting-end'. This was because DateFilter only called the parent
onChange() when both dates were set, causing the startDate prop to
DateRangePicker to remain empty and trigger a reset via its useEffect.

Solution: Track intermediate dates in local state. DateRangePicker now
sees the updated startDate immediately (via local state) even before the
parent onChange() is called. The parent onChange() is still only called
when both dates are set, maintaining the original filtering behavior.

Also syncs local state when the parent value prop changes externally
(e.g., when 'Clear Filters' is clicked), ensuring clean reset.

Fixes #1095

Fix 1 (datatable-ux-fixes.spec.ts): drag-and-drop tests used
page.mouse.down/move which does not fire HTML5 drag events. Replaced
with page.evaluate() dispatching DragEvents with a real DataTransfer
object so the React onDragStart/onDragOver handlers run correctly.
The insertion line test uses expect().toBeVisible() with auto-retry
to wait for the async React state re-render after dragover.
The effectAllowed test reads dataTransfer.effectAllowed synchronously
after dispatching dragstart in the same evaluate() call.

Fix 2 (i18n-categories.spec.ts): English baseline tests for budget
categories and HI categories relied on the default locale without
explicitly ensuring i18next was initialized to English. Added
setLanguage(page, 'en') before navigation to prevent locale state
leakage from parallel German locale tests in the same shard.

Fix 3 (dashboard.spec.ts): waitForResponse predicates for the
preferences API matched PATCH and GET indiscriminately. Added
resp.request().method() === 'GET' filter so the promise resolves
on the page load GET (which carries the persisted dismissal state),
not an unrelated PATCH from beforeEach or dismiss operations.

Fix 4 (WorkItemsPage.ts): search() and clearSearch() now call
waitForSearchParams() after the API response to ensure the URL q
param has updated and React has committed the filtered data to the
DOM. On mobile, waitForLoaded() was resolving immediately (old cards
still visible), causing not.toBeVisible() to fail before re-render.
Also made waitForSearchParams() public so callers can use it.

Fixes #1095

Fix drag effectAllowed test: browsers restrict DataTransfer.effectAllowed
writes to trusted (user-initiated) drag events only. Synthetic events
dispatched via dispatchEvent() are untrusted, so the setter is silently
ignored and the value is never 'move'. Changed the test to verify the
draggable attribute directly — draggable={index > 0} in the production
code is the DOM-level proxy for the intended drag semantics. Also verify
the first (pinned) column has draggable="false".

Fix dashboard persistence test: two contexts independently fetch
GET /api/users/me/preferences on page load (LocaleContext and
usePreferences hook). A single waitForResponse captured the first fetch
(locale context) before usePreferences had applied hiddenCards, causing
the card assertion to fail. Replaced with expect().toHaveCount(0) using
Playwright's built-in retry, which polls until the card is removed from
the DOM after both fetches and React re-renders complete.

…ction

The disabled attribute on dates before the start date prevented the
intentional click handler logic (lines 175-180) from firing. Dates before
start should be clickable to allow resetting the selection to a new start date.

Changed disabled logic to visual-only styling: dates before start still have
reduced opacity via the dayDisabled CSS class, but are no longer disabled.

Fixes the remaining E2E test failures in DateRangePicker date reset flows.

… cancel test isolation

Fix three E2E test failures on PR #1177:

1. i18n.spec.ts — "German text does not overflow navigation sidebar on desktop"
   Add page.reload() after page.goto() following the established pattern from
   "Key page headings render in German" test. The SPA may not re-initialize
   i18next from localStorage until the next full page load after setLanguage().

2. i18n-categories.spec.ts — all three German locale tests
   Apply the same page.reload() fix after page.goto() so i18next picks up the
   German locale from localStorage before asserting translated category names.

3. vendors.spec.ts — "Cancel button closes the modal without creating a vendor"
   Remove the fragile namesAfter.length === namesBefore.length count assertion.
   Parallel test workers share the same database, so other tests may create or
   delete vendors concurrently, making an exact count comparison unreliable.
   The meaningful assertion (not.toContain('Should Not Be Created')) is retained.
   Also removes the now-unused namesBefore variable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Days before the start date during selecting-end phase are no longer
disabled (HTML attribute). They now carry only the `dayDisabled` CSS
class for visual styling, remaining clickable so users can reset the
start date selection.

Update three failing assertions across DateRangePicker.test.tsx and
DateFilter.test.tsx to reflect this behavior:
- `toBeDisabled()` → `not.toBeDisabled()`
- Added `toHaveClass('dayDisabled')` where missing
- Updated test descriptions to describe the actual (visual) behavior

- datatable-ux-fixes.spec.ts: add networkidle wait to gotoInvoicesAndWait,
  guard date button clicks with waitFor, use nth(14) for end date to avoid
  disabled buttons, assert phase advance via getByText scoped to popover
- i18n-categories.spec.ts: add timeout:15000 to first German heading waitFor
  (trades test is the first cold locale switch; 5s actionTimeout too short)
- dashboard.spec.ts: add test.describe.configure({mode:'serial'}) to Card
  dismiss describe block; register waitForResponse(GET preferences) BEFORE
  page.reload() to confirm server-side preferences state is loaded before
  asserting card visibility
- WorkItemsPage.ts: rewrite search() and clearSearch() to filter
  waitForResponse by exact q= URL param so WebKit fill() clear-event
  does not resolve the wrong response; remove redundant waitForSearchParams

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… tests

dashboard.spec.ts: replace waitForResponse(GET preferences) with
waitForLoadState('networkidle') after page.reload() — the response-based
approach resolved on the first preferences GET (LocaleContext) before the
second GET (usePreferences hook) applied hiddenCards; networkidle guarantees
both fetches and React re-render are complete before asserting card count.
Also add timeout:10000 to post-reload heading.waitFor() — the 5s action
timeout is too short for SPA initialization after a hard reload.

i18n-categories.spec.ts: extend test timeout to 30s for the German trades
test (the first cold locale switch in this file). Add networkidle wait after
page.reload() to ensure i18next initialization completes before asserting
the German heading. The 15s test timeout was being consumed by setLanguage()
+ goto() + reload() before waitFor() even started.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tern

The German trades test failed because navigating directly to
/settings/manage?tab=trades after setLanguage() left i18next in a
cold-start state — the 'de' locale bundle hadn't finished loading,
so the heading remained 'Manage' (English) even after 10s.

Add a goto('/') + reload() + networkidle warm-up step before navigating
to the manage page. This matches the i18n.spec.ts "Key page headings render
in German" pattern that reliably loads the German locale in CI. Once i18next
has fully initialized on the home page, subsequent navigation within the
same SPA session picks up the German locale immediately.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
WorkItemsPage.search(): add URL-based wait (waitForURL q=query) after fill()
and before the response promise — confirms debounce fired and React committed
search state to URL before asserting. Remove waitForLoaded() after response
to avoid the race where stale DOM rows (from the WebKit clear-event response)
satisfy waitForLoaded() before React applies the fresh search results.
clearSearch(): same URL-wait pattern.

i18n-categories.spec.ts German trades test: wait for home-page German heading
('Projekt') to confirm i18next has initialized in German before navigating to
the manage page. This replaces the unreliable networkidle approach.

Co-Authored-By: Claude e2e-test-engineer (Sonnet 4.5) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ertion timeout

The home-page warm-up added too many navigations and consumed 15-17s of the
30s test budget, leaving insufficient time for the actual assertion. Revert to
the simpler pattern: setLanguage() + goto(MANAGE_TRADES_URL) + reload() +
expect.toBeVisible({ timeout: 20s }). This matches the i18n.spec.ts "Key page
headings render in German" pattern and fits within the 30s test budget:
setLanguage(~5s) + goto(~2s) + reload(~2s) + assertion(up to 20s) = ~29s.
