Investigation Phase:
Problem:
- Tests hang AFTER global setup completes
- No test execution begins (hung before first test)
- Step timeout (15min) doesn't trigger properly
- Job timeout (45min) eventually kills process after 44min
Changes:
1. Added DEBUG=pw:api to all browser jobs
- Will show exact Playwright API calls
- Pinpoint where execution hangs (auth setup vs browser launch vs test init)
2. Reduced job timeout: 45min → 20min
- Fail faster when tests hang
- Reduces wasted CI resources
- Still allows normal test execution (local: 1.2min)
Expected Outcome:
- Verbose logs reveal hang location
- Faster feedback loop (20min vs 44min)
- Can identify if issue is:
* auth.setup.ts hanging
* Browser process not launching
* Connection issues to application
Next Steps Based on Logs:
- If browser launch hangs: Add dumb-init (Phase 3)
- If auth setup hangs: Investigate cookie/storage state
- If network hangs: Add localhost loopback routing
Phase: 2.5 of 3 (Diagnostic Logging)
