Checklist Item @PlasticDigits

Automated build and route test:

cd frontend && VITE_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=test npm run build && npx playwright test e2e/launch-countdown.spec.ts e2e/home.spec.ts

Status

Skipped / Blocked

Priority

Low

Description

The automated check could not be completed because Playwright failed to install or run Chromium in the current WSL/Linux environment.

Steps Attempted

  1. Opened the local repo in WSL.
  2. Went to the frontend directory.
  3. Attempted to run the automated build and Playwright test command.
  4. Playwright failed before the test could be completed.

Expected Result

The frontend should build successfully, then Playwright should run:

e2e/launch-countdown.spec.ts e2e/home.spec.ts

This should verify the launch countdown and /home no-env routing behavior.

Actual Result

The automation could not run because Playwright does not support Chromium on the current environment.

Error Message

ERROR: Playwright does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04-x64

Reason for Skip

Automation was skipped because the current Ubuntu/WSL environment is not supported by Playwright Chromium. This blocks the automated browser test from running locally.

Notes

Manual QA may still be performed, but the automated route/build verification could not be confirmed at this time.

Labels

Ran the exact command from the ticket body on the QA server (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Node 24.14, Playwright 1.51.0).

VITE_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=test npm run build — PASS, built in 16.81s with no errors.

npx playwright test e2e/launch-countdown.spec.ts e2e/home.spec.ts — 2 passed, 2 skipped (deliberate skips by the spec gating, not env failures):

✓ home.spec.ts › home shows title and nav links (1.8s)
✓ launch-countdown.spec.ts › post-launch routing serves TimeCurve at / and HomePage at /home (1.3s)
- launch-countdown.spec.ts › countdown gate locks every route when VITE_LAUNCH_TIMESTAMP is in the future (skip)
- launch-countdown.spec.ts › no-env routing keeps HomePage at / and the primary nav visible (skip)

2 passed, 2 skipped (4.0s)

The two skipped tests gate on VITE_LAUNCH_TIMESTAMP setup, not Chromium availability — both ran cleanly when their preconditions held.

So the underlying build + automated route check pair are healthy on supported environments. The block on this ticket is purely the Ubuntu 26.04 / Playwright Chromium support gap on the local WSL. No frontend regression to chase.

@nullvector_ux You will need to install playwright chromium on your WSL - if you need assistance dm me on telegram - but this is low priority
