Miranda LimonczenkoandClaude Sonnet 5 39276f80d0 fix(docs ci): stop docs-e2e from polling the broken GitHub Deployments API (#48226)
## Summary
- `vercel/wait-for-deployment-action` in
[docs-e2e.yml](.github/workflows/docs-e2e.yml) polls GitHub's
Deployments API for a `Preview – docs` deployment, but Vercel's GitHub
App has not written a GitHub Deployment object repo-wide since
2026-02-17 (broken app auth). The step times out after 900s on every PR
that touches `apps/docs`, even though the preview build itself succeeds
(`Vercel – docs` commit status is green).
- Replace the wait step with a custom poll of the `Vercel – docs` commit
status (which Vercel keeps posting correctly), then resolve the actual
preview URL via Vercel's own deployments API (`GET
/v13/deployments/{id}`) using the deployment ID embedded in the commit
status's `target_url`, reusing the existing `VERCEL_TOKEN` /
`VERCEL_TEAM_ID` secrets.
- Drops the now-unused `deployments: read` permission.

## Context
Reported in Slack:
https://supabase.slack.com/archives/C023E4L60R3/p1784721725606599?thread_ts=1784658589.182079&cid=C023E4L60R3
(surfaced by [#48178](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/48178)
failing on this step — [run
29916797889](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/actions/runs/29916797889?pr=48178)).
Agreed workaround from that thread: swap the wait step to poll the
`Vercel – docs` commit status instead of the Deployments API.

## Test plan
- [ ] Confirm this workflow run (triggered by this PR since it edits
`apps/docs/**`... actually this PR only touches the workflow file, so
verify via `workflow_dispatch` or a follow-up PR touching
`apps/docs/**`) passes the "Wait for Vercel docs preview" step and
resolves a working `deployment-url`
- [ ] Confirm downstream Playwright E2E run against the resolved preview
URL succeeds
- [ ] Confirm the step still fails cleanly (clear error, no silent hang)
if the Vercel deployment itself fails

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved documentation preview deployment handling in end-to-end
tests.
* Replaced the preview wait logic with more reliable polling for the
relevant commit status, including clear success/failure/error and
timeout behavior.
  * Resolve the correct documentation preview URL before tests proceed.
* **Chores**
* Tightened permissions for the documentation E2E workflow to use only
the required access scopes.
* Streamlined job setup steps so Node/Pnpm preparation runs earlier in
the workflow.

Miranda LimonczenkoandCopilot Autofix powered by AI 9199aad57e feat(docs) Add scaffolding and CI/CD step for Docs Playwright (#48120)
Closes DOCS-1197



## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Problem

We do not have any E2E testing established. 

## Solution

This PR creates an ultra-lean starting place for Docs Playwright:

- A CI/CD step that skips on draft and relies on Preview for testing
- One simple broken link check for one page

The goal: 
- Playwright is implemented where we want it, with an architecture we
want, with set-up steps we can build from

The anti-goal of this PR:
- We have meaningful tests running

## CI/CD steps

<img width="1191" height="72" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-21 at 10 17 06 AM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eeb2454c-d864-4574-a050-ce39bb3f083f"
/>

1. Checkout a thin slice of the repo (`apps/docs`, `packages`,
`patches`).
2. Wait for the Vercel **docs** preview for that commit SHA.
3. Use that preview URL as `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL`.
4. Install Node deps and Chromium.
5. Run `pnpm run e2e:docs` (`--grep @quickstart`).
6. If anything fails, upload the HTML report + traces.

Manual runs skip the Vercel wait and default to `https://supabase.com`
(or whatever URL you enter), then run the full suite (`pnpm run e2e`).

## What the test checks

Because this PR is scaffolding, it is doing something very basic:

1. Opens `/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs` only if a
connected file was edited in CI/CD step
2. Asserts the page loaded and the H1 is visible.
3. Collects docs-owned `/docs/**` links from
`#sb-docs-guide-main-article`.
4. HTTP-checks each link (no full navigation) and soft-fails so every
broken link is reported.

Config keeps it cheap: Chromium only, 1 worker, 2 CI retries, failure
screenshots/traces.


## Docs vs Studio/Dashboard

The setup of Docs Playwright differs from Studio.

| | Docs E2E | Studio E2E |
|---|---|---|
| Location |`e2e/docs/` | `e2e/studio/` |
| What it tests | One published docs page + its links | Many Studio UI
flows (tables, auth, storage, …) |
| Where the app runs | Already-deployed **Vercel preview** | Built and
started **on the runner** |
| Backend needed | None | Local Supabase via Docker |
| Path filtering | Native `on.pull_request.paths` (skip whole workflow)
| `dorny/paths-filter` after checkout (workflow starts, heavy steps
gated) |
| Parallelism | 1 worker, no shards | Matrix of frameworks × 2 shards |
| Retries | 2 in CI | 5 in CI |
| Reports | HTML report on failure | Blob reports per shard → merge → PR
comment |
| Draft handling | Explicit draft skip | No draft skip today |
| Manual broader run | Yes (`workflow_dispatch`) | No |

The big conceptual difference: **Studio owns the environment** (build
Studio, start Supabase, hit `localhost`). **Docs borrows Vercel’s
preview** and only asks “does this page and its docs links work on the
deployed site?”

## Docs architecture justification

The docs architecture is deliberately lightweight because docs are
**static, published content served by Vercel**, not an interactive app
with a backend. That single fact justifies every difference:

- **Borrow the Vercel preview instead of building on the runner.** The
preview is already the exact artifact users will see, and Vercel builds
it for free on every PR. Rebuilding docs on the runner would duplicate
that work and risk testing something different from what ships. Studio,
by contrast, needs a running app plus a local Supabase, so it *has* to
own its environment.

- **No backend.** Docs pages don't need a database or auth to render, so
there's nothing to spin up. This is what keeps the job cheap enough to
run per-PR.

- **Native `paths` filtering.** Since the job is cheap and
self-contained, an all-or-nothing skip at the workflow level is
sufficient—no need for `dorny/paths-filter` to gate expensive setup
steps mid-run like Studio does.

- **Low parallelism and modest retries.** One page and its links is a
tiny surface, so 1 worker is plenty and there's no sharding to
coordinate. Retries exist only to absorb transient network flakiness
against a live URL, hence 2 rather than Studio's 5 (which also cushions
a heavier, stateful environment).

- **Non-blocking + draft skip + manual dispatch.** As initial
scaffolding checking link health on a deployed site, it should inform
rather than gate merges, avoid burning minutes on drafts, and still be
runnable on demand against production.

In short: **Studio owns its environment because it must; docs borrows
Vercel's preview because it can.** The scope is intentionally minimal
today.

## Testing

1. Break a docs-owned link in the Next.js quickstart.
1. Follow README instructions to set up and run e2e docs test.
1. Confirm the suite fails.
1. Restore the broken link and re-run.
1. Confirm the suite **passes** (`1 passed`).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

## Summary

- **New Features**
- Added a GitHub Actions workflow to run Playwright docs end-to-end
tests on PRs and via manual dispatch (with optional base URL), including
docs-preview waiting and concurrency cancellation.
- **Documentation**
- Added `e2e/docs` README with setup, how to run the suite (including
UI/debug and single-spec), and how base URL selection works.
- **Tests**
- Added a quickstarts E2E spec that validates the page and soft-checks
docs-owned links resolve.
- **Chores**
- Added shared Playwright configuration/package scripts and an
`e2e/docs` `.gitignore` for test outputs.
