Will you catch the bug?

Objective

The developer team has unfortunately introduced a bug in our application. Your goal is to find it, explain them how to reproduce it and write a test that catches it, so that we don't make the same mistake again in the future.

How to run the application

This repository contains 2 folders:

• app-working: The application working correctly.
• app-with-bug: The application with a bug.

To run the application, you need to serve the content of the corresponding folder as a static site.

You can achieve this using the serve npm package:

Install the package

npm install -g serve

Serve the build as a static site

serve build-no-bug

or

serve build-with-bug

You can then access the site at http://localhost:3000/.

Tasks

• Find the bug in app-with-bug.
• Write down a ticket for this bug in ticket.md, explain us how to reproduce it.
• Create a test that catches the bug, for instance using Playwright or Cypress.
  • The test should pass when run against app-working.
  • It should fail against app-with-bug.
• Explain how to run your test in this README.

Deliverables

Make sure to include all source code in the repository.

Evaluation criteria

• The bug is spotted.
• Autonomous test set up and implementation.
• The test works as expected.
• Explanations are clear.

CodeSubmit

Please organize, design, test and document your code as if it were going into production - then push your changes to the master branch. After you have pushed your code, you may submit the assignment on the assignment page.

All the best and happy coding,
