This test is designed to fail to check if global teardown's process.exit(0) is incorrectly masking test failures in CI. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…porting The process.exit(0) was always exiting with success code, which masked test failures in CI. Tests would report as passing even when they failed. The CI workflow already handles process cleanup externally via pkill commands, so we no longer need to force exit here. Let Playwright exit naturally with the correct exit code based on test results. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The previous fix removed process.exit(0) which caused worker teardown timeout errors to be reported (correctly, as they are real errors). This solution: 1. Adds ExitStatusReporter that writes test results to a temp file 2. Global teardown reads the exit code and uses it when calling process.exit() 3. This prevents worker teardown timeout while correctly reporting test failures The reporter runs before global teardown, so the exit status is available when we need to force exit. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changed from using __dirname (which can be unreliable in compiled TS) to using os.tmpdir() for the exit status file path. Both the reporter and global teardown now use the same reliable path. Added more logging to help debug the communication between reporter and teardown. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
This test demonstrates that the ExitStatusReporter + global teardown fix correctly reports test failures to CI. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous approaches had issues: 1. process.exit(0) masked test failures 2. Custom reporter approach didn't work because CI overrides with --reporter=list 3. No process.exit() caused worker teardown timeout The CI workflow already handles process cleanup externally via pkill commands, which runs AFTER capturing the test exit code. This is the cleanest solution: - Tests run and Playwright exits with correct code (0 or 1) - CI captures the exit code in TEST_EXIT_CODE variable - CI kills lingering processes with pkill - CI exits with the captured exit code The broken test is still present to verify this fix works. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fix has been verified: - With broken test: E2E Tests correctly reported FAILURE - Exit code 1 was properly propagated to CI The solution is simple: remove globalTeardown entirely and let the CI workflow handle process cleanup externally. This preserves correct exit codes while avoiding worker teardown timeout issues. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The worker teardown timeout causes Playwright to exit with code 1 even when all tests pass. The CI workflow now: 1. Runs tests with timeout wrapper (to handle hangs) 2. Captures output to a file 3. Parses the output to check if tests passed or failed 4. Exits based on actual test results, not the exit code This way, worker teardown timeouts don't mask test success, and actual test failures are still correctly reported. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous pattern matched "error" which caught "1 error was not a part of any test" - the worker teardown timeout message. Now we specifically look for: - "[0-9]+ passed" - to confirm tests ran - "[0-9]+ failed" - to detect actual test failures This ignores the worker teardown timeout error which is expected. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous workaround used process.exit(0) inside the Electron app to avoid a 30s timeout on electronApp.close(). However, this timeout was removed in Playwright v1.19 (see microsoft/playwright#11068). Using close() properly allows Playwright to report correct exit codes, eliminating the need to parse output in CI to detect test failures. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
electronApp.close() hangs for >2 minutes on this app because the app's shutdown process is slow. This is NOT a Playwright issue (the 30s timeout was removed in v1.19), but specific to this app's behavior. The working solution is: 1. Use process.exit(0) in tests for fast cleanup 2. Parse Playwright output in CI to determine pass/fail 3. Kill lingering processes to prevent worker teardown timeouts Updated comments to explain the root cause and trade-offs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Fixed global teardown to correctly report test failures in CI by removing it entirely.
Problem
The original
process.exit(0)in global-teardown.ts was masking ALL test failures by always exiting with code 0, regardless of test results.Solution Attempts
--reporter=listFinal Solution
Remove
globalTeardownfrom playwright config entirely. The CI workflow already handles process cleanup externally viapkillcommands, which runs AFTER capturing the test exit code.How it works:
