LCFS - Implement E2E Tests for User Login and Data Retrieval with Cypress

[AlexZorkin]

Describe the task Implement end-to-end tests using the Cypress testing framework to validate the user login flow and database record retrieval. These tests should simulate a real user logging in through the UI, checking the functionality of our authentication middleware, and confirming that the user can successfully retrieve their records from the database.

Purpose This task ensures the reliability and security of our user login and data retrieval processes. End-to-end tests will help catch potential regressions or issues early in the development cycle, improving the overall quality of our application and user experience.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Set up Cypress with the necessary configurations for our project.
• [ ] Create a test that navigates to the login page, performs a successful login with test credentials, and verifies redirection to the user dashboard.
• [ ] Validate that the user's database record is correctly retrieved and displayed on the dashboard after login.
• [ ] Implement negative test cases to verify that incorrect credentials are handled properly and display an appropriate error message.
• [ ] Ensure all tests are properly cleaned up after execution to maintain data integrity and state.
• [ ] Integrate the new Cypress tests into our existing CI/CD pipeline.
• [ ] Update project documentation to include these new tests and instructions for running them.

Additional context

• The tests should mock or use test user data to prevent interaction with real user accounts.
• The /current-user endpoint and the existing authentication middleware are crucial components of these tests and should be thoroughly vetted.
• Cypress best practices should be followed to maintain test quality and efficiency.
