CARE Review — E2E tests for the appointments list page
The intent is clear and the gap is real (appointments had no coverage). The problem is that the tests as written cannot fail for the reasons their names claim.
Broken — tests that assert nothing
Five of the seven tests reduce to expect(page.getByRole("main")).toBeVisible(), sometimes via a tautology (hasNavigation || main.isVisible()) or a probe whose result is discarded (statusFound, practitionerUIFound — the code-quality bot caught the dead assignment; the dead assertion behind it is the real issue). Every meaningful interaction is wrapped in if (await x.isVisible()), so the absence of the element being tested is a silent pass rather than a failure.
That is worse than no test: the suite reports coverage for status filters, practitioner filtering, empty state, and navigation while exercising none of them, and a future regression in any of those ships green.
Approach
The file was clearly written without the appointments components in hand — hence the fuzzy regex OR-lists (/doctor/i, /provider/i, /staff/i) probing for UI that may not exist. Rather than broadening the net, read src/pages/Appointments/ and assert the actual roles and i18n keys the page renders. Fewer, real tests beat seven placeholders: I would keep test 1 (with concrete assertions) and test 2 (unconditional), and drop or rewrite the rest.
Convention
Hardcoded { timeout: 1000 | 2000 } throughout contradicts tests/PLAYWRIGHT_GUIDE.md pitfall #7.
Six inline comments above. Lens 3 (UI/UX) skipped — no .tsx changed.

This test can never fail for the reason it claims. statusFound is computed and discarded (the code-quality bot flagged the dead assignment, but the real problem is upstream): the only assertion is expect(page.getByRole("main")).toBeVisible(), which is already asserted by the first test. A test named "should display appointment status filters" that passes on a page with zero status filters is worse than no test — it reports coverage the suite does not have.
Either assert the statuses that the appointments page genuinely renders (pick the real i18n strings from the component rather than a fuzzy OR-list of four regexes), or drop the test.

Same shape as the status test: practitionerUIFound is set and never read, and the only assertion is the generic main visibility. The name promises practitioner filtering; the body asserts the page rendered. If the practitioner filter is not yet locatable with a stable selector, drop this test rather than shipping a green placeholder for it.

Every branch here is guarded by if (await tab.isVisible()). If the tab is missing — the exact regression a view-toggle test exists to catch — the block is skipped and the test passes green. Conditional assertions make a test unable to fail. Assert the tabs exist unconditionally (await expect(tableTab).toBeVisible()) and then click; if the tab genuinely may be absent for some roles, encode that as a separate expectation rather than a silent skip.
This pattern repeats at lines 154-162 and 236-239.

The test is named "should display empty state when no appointments match filters" but no filter is ever applied — the block above opens the filter menu and then does nothing inside the if. The final assertion hasContent || hasEmptyState passes if the word "appointment" appears anywhere on the page, which it always will (heading, tab labels). Nothing about the empty state is exercised.
To test an empty state, navigate with a date range known to have no appointments (the URL takes filter params) and assert the specific empty-state copy from public/locale/en.json.

expect(hasNavigation || await page.getByRole("main").isVisible()).toBeTruthy() is a tautology — the right-hand side is true on any rendered page, so the navigation check is decorative. This test asserts nothing beyond "the page rendered", which the first test already covers. Either assert the breadcrumb/back control concretely and that clicking it lands on the facility overview URL, or remove the test.

Hardcoded { timeout: 1000 } / { timeout: 2000 } are used throughout this file (lines 130, 160, 175, 180, 209, 237-238). tests/PLAYWRIGHT_GUIDE.md "Common Pitfalls" #7 says to avoid custom timeouts and rely on the global timeouts from playwright.config.ts. Short ad-hoc timeouts are also the usual source of flake on a loaded CI runner — here they silently flip a probe to false and change what the test asserts.

Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new Playwright E2E spec to cover the Facility Appointments list route (/facility/:facilityId/appointments), aiming to add baseline UI/interaction coverage for the appointments listing experience.
Changes:
- Adds a new Playwright test suite for the appointments list page under
tests/facility/appointments/. - Covers key UI presence and interactions: view toggles, filters UI, status UI, practitioner selector UI, empty-state behavior, and basic navigation affordances.

- The practitioner filter test sets
practitionerUIFoundbut never asserts it (and the variable is unused), so it doesn’t actually verify the practitioner selector exists and may fail lint/type-check. Consider directly opening the practitioner selector from the Practitioner label section and asserting its dialog/popup content is shown.
await test.step("Check for practitioner selection UI", async () => {
// Practitioner filter may be a dropdown or multi-select
// Look for common practitioner-related labels
const practitionerLabels = [
/practitioner/i,
/doctor/i,
/staff/i,
/provider/i,
];
let practitionerUIFound = false;
for (const label of practitionerLabels) {
const element = page.getByText(label).first();
if (await element.isVisible({ timeout: 1000 }).catch(() => false)) {
practitionerUIFound = true;
break;
}
}
// The page should have loaded successfully regardless
await expect(page.getByRole("main")).toBeVisible();
});
tests/facility/appointments/appointmentsList.spec.ts:185
- The empty-state assertion currently allows either generic “appointment” text or “no appointments”, which makes the test non-actionable (it can pass even when the empty state is broken). After applying a filter that guarantees no matches, assert the explicit empty state copy.
await test.step("Verify page handles filtered results", async () => {
// The page should either show appointments or an empty state message
const mainContent = page.getByRole("main");
await expect(mainContent).toBeVisible();
// Check for either appointment content or empty state indicators
const hasContent = await page
.getByText(/appointment/i)
.first()
.isVisible({ timeout: 2000 })
.catch(() => false);
const hasEmptyState = await page
.getByText(/no appointments/i)
.isVisible({ timeout: 2000 })
.catch(() => false);
// At least one should be true
expect(hasContent || hasEmptyState).toBeTruthy();
});
tests/facility/appointments/appointmentsList.spec.ts:164
- The empty-state test currently doesn’t apply any filter deterministically (the date input block is empty), so it may pass even if the empty state never renders. A reliable approach is to reload the page with a non-existent patient id query param and switch to the List tab (where the empty state is rendered).
await test.step("Apply restrictive filter to trigger empty state", async () => {
// Try to open filter menu
const filterButton = page.getByRole("button", { name: /filter/i });
if (await filterButton.isVisible()) {
await filterButton.click();
// Look for date filter and set a future date range with no appointments
// This is a best-effort approach since exact filter UI may vary
const dateInputs = page.getByRole("textbox").or(page.getByRole("combobox"));
if (await dateInputs.first().isVisible({ timeout: 2000 }).catch(() => false)) {
// Filter interaction attempted, check for results or empty state
}
}
});
