ci: pass one project flag per name and let a failed RTL user delete fail

[TallblokeUK]

Follow-ups from review of #523. The reusable Playwright workflow now builds one --project flag per name listed in its input, so the selection no longer relies on the CLI's variadic parsing (which did work: the #523 run shows the RTL setup and its tests). The RTL teardown tolerates only a user that was never created; a failed delete now fails the teardown.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved end-to-end test execution when multiple Playwright projects are specified.
  • RTL test cleanup now safely handles missing test users while reporting deletion failures instead of silently ignoring them.

Walkthrough

The workflow now passes each Playwright project as a separate argument. RTL teardown now checks for the administrator before deletion and propagates deletion errors.

Changes

Playwright project arguments

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expand project arguments .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml	At lines 248-253, the workflow creates one --project argument pair for each project name.

RTL teardown handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditionally delete the RTL administrator tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts	At lines 5-16, the teardown checks whether rtl-admin exists. Lookup failures mark the user as absent. Deletion failures propagate.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9bac5

Playwright project selection can execute shell content from an unsafe project input, and RTL teardown can report success after a failed user lookup while leaving test state behind. Resolve the input handling and lookup error classification before merge, and cover the new branches.

Full details: Correctness And Security

Explanation

The RTL teardown still treats every wpCli failure from the lookup as a missing user. wpCli rejects for any non-zero docker or npx exit, not only for rtl-admin being absent. If rtl-admin exists but the lookup fails because of a transient CLI, Docker, database, or permission error, tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts:11-13 skips deletion and reports teardown success. The user remains. The new preflight creates this cleanup-leak path. The workflow change generates the expected separate --project arguments for its callers.

Resolution

At tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts:11, ignore only the known WP-CLI error that means rtl-admin does not exist. Re-throw every other lookup error. Then run wpCli(['user', 'delete', 'rtl-admin', '--yes']) when the lookup succeeds and allow its rejection to propagate.

Full details: Ponytail: No Over-Engineering

Explanation

No needless complexity is introduced. In .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml:248-253, a local Bash array and loop directly create one --project argument per input name. In tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts:7-16, one lookup and one conditional delete directly preserve missing-user tolerance while allowing delete failures to propagate. The pull request adds no abstraction, dependency, or dead scaffolding.

Full details: Pr Hygiene

Explanation

The PR title uses the conventional ci: prefix and is 72 characters long. The authored description exists and states the code changes. The PR body also contains an auto-generated CodeRabbit AI attribution block, which matches the explicit AI-attribution warning condition.

Full details: Scope Discipline

Explanation

The PR keeps one test-infrastructure concern. .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml:248-253 supports the chromium-db-snippets chromium-rtl project selection. tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts:4-16 makes cleanup failure visible for the same RTL test flow. The commit changes only these two related RTL workflow behaviors.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/playwright-test.yml:
- Around line 250-253: Add a runnable test for the argument-building loop around
project_args that covers one project and multiple projects, asserting each
project produces a separate --project pair. Include shell-metacharacter input
and verify it is passed as data without executing an additional command,
independently of existing workflow callers.
- Line 249: Add shell: bash to the workflow step containing the project_args
array, preserving the existing set -euo pipefail behavior.
- Line 250: Update the project iteration around the project-name input to avoid
shell-source expansion: pass the input through env, use an explicit Bash shell,
parse it into a quoted array, validate each project name, and pass every
validated element as a separately quoted Playwright argument.

In `@tests/e2e/rtl.teardown.ts`:
- Around line 10-16: Add runnable tests for the teardown logic surrounding the
rtl-admin lookup and deletion: cover a missing user, an existing user, an
unexpected lookup failure, and a deletion failure. Assert that deletion is
skipped only when the user is missing, while lookup and deletion failures reject
teardown.
- Around line 11-12: Update the teardown lookup around the existing catch so
only the known missing-user result sets exists to false; rethrow all command or
environment failures from wpCli. Ensure the teardown removes rtl-admin rather
than leaving that account configured, without changing unrelated cleanup
behavior.
