+# E2E Test Setup and Troubleshooting Notes
+
+## Setup Required
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+E2E_USER=<E2E_USER_PLACEHOLDER>
+E2E_PASSWORD='<E2E_PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER>'
+E2E_PROXY=<E2E_PROXY_PLACEHOLDER>
+```
+
+**Note:** Contact your team for test account credentials. Do not commit real credentials to this repository.
+
+### Running Tests Locally
+
+```bash
+# Single test file
+E2E_USER=<E2E_USER_PLACEHOLDER> E2E_PASSWORD='<E2E_PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER>' E2E_PROXY=<E2E_PROXY_PLACEHOLDER> npx playwright test help-panel-learn-tab.spec.ts
+
+# All help panel tests
+E2E_USER=<E2E_USER_PLACEHOLDER> E2E_PASSWORD='<E2E_PASSWORD_PLACEHOLDER>' E2E_PROXY=<E2E_PROXY_PLACEHOLDER> npx playwright test help-panel
+```
+
+## Key Issues Resolved
+
+### 1. Proxy Support Was Missing
+**Problem:** The `@redhat-cloud-services/playwright-test-auth` package's global setup didn't pass the proxy configuration to the browser context.
+
+**Solution:** Created custom global setup at `playwright/global-setup-with-proxy.ts` that properly passes the proxy from `playwright.config.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+const context = await browser.newContext({
+  ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
+  baseURL: baseURL as string,
+  proxy: proxy, // FIX: Pass proxy config from playwright.config.ts
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Default Stage URL Was Placeholder
+**Problem:** Config had `https://stage.foo.redhat.com:1337` as default.
+
+**Solution:** Updated to real stage URL: `https://console.stage.redhat.com`
+
+### 3. SSO Redirect Detection
+**Finding:** Navigating to `/` triggers SSO redirect to:
+```text
+https://sso.stage.redhat.com/auth/realms/redhat-external/protocol/openid-connect/auth...
+```
+
+This is the expected behavior for unauthenticated users.
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### playwright.config.ts
+- Added proxy support: `...(process.env.E2E_PROXY && { proxy: { server: process.env.E2E_PROXY } })`
+- Changed global setup to custom version: `./playwright/global-setup-with-proxy.ts`
+- Updated default baseURL to `https://console.stage.redhat.com`
+
+### playwright/global-setup-with-proxy.ts
+Custom global setup that:
+1. Reads proxy config from playwright.config.ts
+2. Passes it to browser context
+3. Performs SSO login
+4. Saves authentication state to `./playwright/.auth/user.json`
+
+## Current Test Status
+
+### Learn Tab
+- ✅ 2/6 tests passing
+- ❌ 4/6 tests failing due to missing learning resources data
+  - Likely stage environment doesn't have data for this user
+  - Or API calls need longer timeouts
+
+### Known Issues
+1. **Empty Data State:** Some tests expect learning resources to be present but stage might not have seeded data for the test user
+2. **Timing Issues:** Some assertions timeout waiting for elements (10s default)
+3. **Bookmark buttons:** Not found, possibly no resources to bookmark
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### Run with headed mode (see browser)
+```bash
+E2E_USER=... E2E_PASSWORD=... E2E_PROXY=... npx playwright test help-panel-learn-tab.spec.ts --headed
+```
+
+### Generate trace for debugging
+```bash
+E2E_USER=... E2E_PASSWORD=... E2E_PROXY=... npx playwright test help-panel-learn-tab.spec.ts --trace on
+npx playwright show-trace trace.zip
+```
+
+## CI/CD Considerations
+
+In Tekton pipeline:
+- Proxy is handled by Caddy server
+- Credentials should come from vault/secrets
+- Tests run in `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.59.0-jammy` container
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Investigate data availability:** Check if learning resources exist on stage for test users
+2. **Increase timeouts:** Some API calls might need longer than 15s on stage
+3. **Add conditional checks:** Handle empty states gracefully in tests
+4. **Alternative test users:** Consider using different test accounts with known data

+# Help Panel E2E Tests
+
+This directory contains comprehensive E2E tests for all Help Panel tabs, covering API integration and critical user flows on stage/production.
+
+## Test Files
+
+| File | JIRA Ticket | Description |
+|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `help-panel-learn-tab.spec.ts` | RHCLOUD-45255 | Tests learning resources API, filtering, bookmarking |
+| `help-panel-api-tab.spec.ts` | RHCLOUD-45256 | Tests API documentation loading, bundle filtering |
+| `help-panel-search-tab.spec.ts` | RHCLOUD-45258 | Tests search API, filters, recent queries, bookmarking/favoriting |
+| `help-panel-support-tab.spec.ts` | RHCLOUD-45259 | Tests support cases API, empty state, external navigation |
+| `help-panel-feedback-tab.spec.ts` | RHCLOUD-45774 | Tests feedback forms, bug reporting, research opportunities |
+
+## What We Test
+
+### ✅ Covered in E2E Tests
+- **API Integration**: Real API calls to stage endpoints
+- **Data Loading**: Verify resources load from backend
+- **Filtering/Scoping**: Bundle filtering, content type filtering
+- **Search Functionality**: Search execution, debouncing, result display
+- **Bookmarking/Favoriting**: Persisting user preferences via API
+- **External Navigation**: Links to Customer Portal, API docs
+- **Form Interactions**: Filling forms, validation, state changes
+- **Recent History**: localStorage persistence (search queries)
+- **Empty States**: No data scenarios
+- **Status Indicators**: Icons, labels, badges
+
+### ❌ NOT Tested (Covered by Storybook/Unit Tests)
+- **Pagination**: Common PatternFly table component
+- **UI Component Rendering**: Component states, visual layouts
+- **Filter Chip Interactions**: Removal, clearing
+- **Debounce Timing**: Exact millisecond delays
+- **Data Formatting**: String manipulation, date formatting
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+### Run all Help Panel E2E tests:
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel
+```
+
+### Run a specific tab:
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-learn-tab
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-api-tab
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-search-tab
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-support-tab
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-feedback-tab
+```
+
+### Run in headed mode (see browser):
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-learn-tab --headed
+```
+
+### Run specific test:
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-learn-tab -g "loads learning resources from API"
+```
+
+## Test Structure
+
+Each test file follows this structure:
+
+```typescript
+test.describe('help panel - {Tab Name}', () => {
+  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+    // 1. Disable cookie prompts
+    // 2. Navigate to dashboard
+    // 3. Wait for chrome header
+    // 4. Open help panel
+    // 5. Navigate to specific tab
+  });
+
+  test('test case name', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Test implementation
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Key Patterns
+
+### Waiting for API Responses
+```typescript
+// Wait for data to load
+await expect(page.locator('[data-ouia-component-id="resource-list"]'))
+  .toBeVisible({ timeout: 15000 });
+```
+
+### Testing External Links
+```typescript
+const popupPromise = page.waitForEvent('popup', { timeout: 10000 });
+await linkButton.click();
+const popup = await popupPromise;
+expect(popup.url()).toMatch(/access\.redhat\.com/);
+await popup.close();
+```
+
+### Extracting Counts
+```typescript
+const toolbar = page.locator('[data-ouia-component-id="toolbar"]');
+const text = await toolbar.textContent();
+const match = text?.match(/Results \((\d+)\)/);
+const count = match ? parseInt(match[1], 10) : 0;
+```
+
+### Conditional Tests (Empty vs Data States)
+```typescript
+const emptyState = page.locator('[data-ouia-component-id="empty-state"]');
+const isEmptyVisible = await emptyState.isVisible();
+
+if (isEmptyVisible) {
+  // Test empty state behavior
+} else {
+  // Test data display behavior
+}
+```
+
+## Test Data Considerations
+
+- Tests run against **real stage data**
+- Support cases, bookmarks, and favorites may vary by user
+- Some tests use conditional logic to handle empty states
+- Search queries use common terms likely to return results
+- Bundle filtering tests check for toggle visibility (not all pages have bundles)
+
+## Debugging
+
+### View test output with trace:
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-learn-tab --trace on
+```
+
+### View detailed logs:
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e -- help-panel-learn-tab --debug
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Timeout errors**: API is slow on stage, increase timeout in test
+2. **Empty state when expecting data**: User has no bookmarks/cases/etc.
+3. **Element not found**: Check data-ouia-component-id selector
+4. **Popup blocked**: Browser may block new tabs in headless mode
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+These tests are designed to run on stage environment as part of E2E test suite:
+
+```yaml
+# Example CI configuration
+- name: Run Help Panel E2E Tests
+  run: npm run test:e2e -- help-panel
+  env:
+    PLAYWRIGHT_ENV: stage
+```
+
+## Coverage Summary
+
+| Tab | Tests | API Calls Tested | Key Features |
+|-----|-------|------------------|--------------|
+| Learn | 7 | fetchAllData, bookmark API | Filtering, bookmarking, bundle scope |
+| API | 5 | fetchBundleInfo, fetchBundles | Bundle filtering, external links |
+| Search | 11 | fetchAllData, fetchBundles, favorites API | Search, filters, recent queries, bookmarking |
+| Support | 8 | Support cases API | Empty state, case display, external links |
+| Feedback | 12 | Feedback submission API | Forms, validation, breadcrumbs |
+| **Total** | **43** | **Multiple APIs** | **Complete E2E coverage** |
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After running tests on stage:
+1. Review any failures - may indicate real bugs or data issues
+2. Update selectors if UI changes
+3. Add new tests for new features
+4. Maintain tests as APIs evolve
