feat(js-release): add optional E2E test job after build on tag push

[bedatty]

Summary

Add a new e2e_tests job to js-release.yml that runs after the build job on tag pushes, behind an opt-in enable_e2e flag. This enables frontend repos to run Playwright E2E tests as part of the release pipeline via a standard npm run test:e2e command.

This will become the standard pattern across all JS/TS frontends.

---

New inputs

All are optional with backward-compatible defaults (no impact on existing callers).

Input	Type	Default	Description
enable_e2e	boolean	false	Enable the E2E job
e2e_script	string	test:e2e	npm script to run (e.g. test:e2e, test:e2e:mock)
e2e_base_url	string	''	If set, injected as BASE_URL env var (for real-environment mode)
node_version	string	22	Node.js version for the E2E runner

---

New job — e2e_tests

Add after the build job in .github/workflows/js-release.yml:

e2e_tests:
  name: E2E Tests
  needs: [build]
  if: >-
    github.ref_type == 'tag' && inputs.enable_e2e &&
    !cancelled() && needs.build.result == 'success'
  runs-on: ${{ inputs.runner_type }}
  permissions:
    contents: read
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: ${{ inputs.node_version }}
        cache: 'npm'

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: npm ci

    - name: Install Playwright browsers
      run: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium

    - name: Run E2E tests
      run: npm run ${{ inputs.e2e_script }}
      env:
        BASE_URL: ${{ inputs.e2e_base_url }}

    - name: Upload Playwright report
      if: always()
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: playwright-report
        path: playwright-report/
        retention-days: 7

Usage examples

Mock mode (self-contained — no real backend required)

uses: LerianStudio/github-actions-shared-workflows/.github/workflows/js-release.yml@vX.Y.Z
with:
  enable_e2e: true
  e2e_script: test:e2e:mock

Real environment mode (against a deployed staging URL)

uses: LerianStudio/github-actions-shared-workflows/.github/workflows/js-release.yml@vX.Y.Z
with:
  enable_e2e: true
  e2e_script: test:e2e
  e2e_base_url: ${{ vars.STAGING_URL }}

---

Context

• First consumer: LerianStudio/product-console (uses Playwright with Chromium only)
• playwright.config.ts will be updated on the consumer side to read process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:8081' to support real-environment mode
• Only Chromium browsers need to be installed (--with-deps chromium) as that is the only project defined in the consumer's playwright config
