Playwright / Next Sample App

This sample app demonstrates the integration of Descope authentication within a web application tested using Playwright's end-to-end testing capabilities. The app allows users to log in, and once authenticated, displays the user ID. It includes e2e tests to create a test user with the Descope Management SDK.

It also tests the Next.js SDK middleware by visiting a protected page with the saved auth state.

Installation 💿

To get started with this app, clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/descope-sample-apps/descope-playwright-next-example.git
cd descope-playwright-next-example
npm install

Setting Up Testing Environment 🌐

Before running the tests, ensure that you have set up your environment variables correctly by following these steps:

1. Get your Project ID from the Project Settings page.

NOTE: If you're on the Pro or Enterprise tier, make sure that you turn off Refresh Token Rotation under Project Settings, as this can cause issues saving the auth state between pages in your tests.

2. Then, create a Management key if you do not currently have one here.

NOTE: When you create the management key, ensure it is associated with the project you are testing with.

3. Set your environment variables within a .env file at the root of the directory (you can use the .env.example file):

NEXT_PUBLIC_DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID="YOUR PROJECT ID" // Required for Descope authentication
NEXT_PUBLIC_DESCOPE_SIGN_IN_FLOW_ID="sign-up-or-in" // Optional, if you would like to use a flow other than sign-up-or-in
DESCOPE_MANAGEMENT_KEY="YOUR MANAGEMENT KEY" // Optional, if you would like to run E2E tests
PLAYWRIGHT_TEST_BASE_URL="Deployment Status Target URL" // For running e2e tests in deployed app (not localhost)

After this, you're ready to run the application, and also the playwright end-to-end tests.

Running the Application 🚀

To run the app locally, execute:

npm run dev

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to see the app in action.

Running Tests 🧪

The e2e tests can be run using the following command:

npx playwright test

NOTE: If you don't already have playwright installed, you'll need to install it using the following command: npx playwright install. If you're on a linux/mac system, you might also need to run npx playwright install msedge to run the Microsoft Edge tests locally, from the root user.

The test setup script uses the Descope SDK to create a test user and logs them in using a magic link to simulate authentication for testing purposes.
