Description

We already have some e2e tests for the WP-CLI entry point, but not for the admin entry point. Having e2e coverage for the Ajax flow would increase confidence in our setup.

Should be simple to set up, with 1 dummy plugin for testing and 1 addon installed.

Can use Playwright and wp-env or maybe even Playground

Scenarios to test:

  • Running all checks and their output
  • Running only runtime checks
  • Running checks from an add-on
  • Maybe more?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing e2e tests for the WP-CLI entry point, then choose a setup using Playwright with wp-env or Playground for the admin Ajax flow. Add one dummy plugin and one addon, and cover all checks, runtime-only checks, and checks from an addon with verified output.
