make playwright session cookie never expire

Open rshewitt opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

we want the playwright session cookie to never expire so auth tests don't fail all of a sudden

How to reproduce

  • wait for session cookie to expire (or replace it with nonsense) and watch playwright tests behind auth fail

Expected behavior

  • tests behind auth to pass because there's no expiration to the session cookie

Actual behavior

  • tests behind auth fail because session cookie has expired

Sketch

[Notes or a checklist reflecting our understanding of the selected approach]

Another alternative is to script the Identity Sandbox login process in our frontend tests using an Identity Sandbox account for an email like [email protected]. https://github.com/GSA-TTS/FAC/blob/main/backend/cypress/support/login-gov.js is an example in Cypress.

Goals:

  • Decide method
  • Write sketch

@rshewitt @FuhuXia is this something to keep in the queue or now that more people have the ability to remedy, should we close as not planned?
