Add Playwright Integration Testing

[qweliant]

Issue(s) Resolved

#291

Test Plan

run nvm use
run pnpm i
run pnpm --filter core run reset
run pnpm dev

in another terminal tab:
run the integration test using pnpm --filter core run playwright:test to view test in your terminal
run the integration test using pnpm --filter core run playwright:ui to view test in a ui

If you install the playwright plugin you can do the testing from vscode in the testing tab. you still need to run the server.

Notes/Context/Gotchas

There is no teardown and setup steps yet, where authentication and setting up test data would normally go, so when running the assign test the pub really will be assigned

Adding this here for context for myself:

TODO

investigate node upgrade: playwright required the latest version of node to work. i need to be sure there wont be any catastrophically horrendously down bad side effects. consider node versions in docker env variables and a smoke test through current integrations, actions, and stage management

Future work and follow up to this should be:

• use production build for app: we currently do have a good way of running production builds. we should if we want to run integration test in our CI
• Setting up integration testing in our GH hooks
• ensuring testing enviornments on render and aws do not drift

This looks great so far! But for me, the tests timeout against the dev server even after it's warmed up. I'm ok with merging this without them passing, but I don't think it's practical to run them against the dev server in CI (or in general really) so the next step is definitely making sure we can run them against the compiled app.

I also wanted to mention that there's an additional setup step required that's not in your test instructions: pnpm --filter core exec playwright install to make sure the browsers are installed.

Tests are passing as long as they don't time out for me, looks great!
