|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (Phase 2)
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 2 will implement the first actual integration tests:
|
||||
- Create workflow creation tests (10+ scenarios)
|
||||
- Test P0 bug fix (SHORT vs FULL node types)
|
||||
- Test workflow retrieval
|
||||
- Test workflow deletion
|
||||
|
||||
**Branch:** `feat/integration-tests-workflow-creation`
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites for Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Before running integration tests, you need to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Set up n8n instance:**
|
||||
- Local: `npx n8n start`
|
||||
- Or use cloud/self-hosted n8n
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Configure credentials in `.env`:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678
|
||||
N8N_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create 4 webhook workflows manually:**
|
||||
- One for each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
|
||||
- Activate each workflow in n8n UI
|
||||
- Set workflow IDs in `.env`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID=<workflow-id>
|
||||
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID=<workflow-id>
|
||||
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID=<workflow-id>
|
||||
N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID=<workflow-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `docs/local/integration-testing-plan.md` for detailed setup instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 1 Success Criteria - ALL MET:
|
||||
- ✅ All utilities implemented and tested
|
||||
- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
|
||||
- ✅ Code follows project conventions
|
||||
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
|
||||
- ✅ Environment configuration complete
|
||||
- ✅ Cleanup infrastructure in place
|
||||
- ✅ Ready for Phase 2 test implementation
|
||||
|
||||
## Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
1. **N8nApiClient Constructor:** Uses config object, not separate parameters
|
||||
2. **Cursor Handling:** n8n API returns `null` for no more pages, need to convert to `undefined`
|
||||
3. **Workflow ID Validation:** Some workflows might have undefined IDs, need null checks
|
||||
4. **Connection Types:** Error connections need explicit typing to avoid TypeScript errors
|
||||
5. **Webhook Activation:** Cannot be done via API, must be manual - hence pre-activated workflow requirement
|
||||
|
||||
## Time Invested
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 1 actual time: ~2 hours (estimated 2-3 days in plan)
|
||||
- Faster than expected due to clear architecture and reusable patterns
