Description of the test
As a corrective action of the incident gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#7618 (closed), we decided to have an E2E test for prefill variables.
- The cause MR: !94778 (merged)
- The revert MR: !95682 (merged)
Test case https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/quality/test_cases/371204 :

variables
:-
TEST1

TEST3
with only value -
TEST4
in regular format
-
- Open the Run Pipeline page.
- Check that:
-
TEST1
variable is present with correct prefill description and value -
TEST2

TEST3
andTEST4
variables are not shown.

Checklist
-
Confirm the test has a testcase:
tag linking to an existing test case in the test case project. -
Note if the test is intended to run in specific scenarios. If a scenario is new, add a link to the MR that adds the new scenario. -
Follow the end-to-end tests style guide and best practices. -
Use the appropriate RSpec metadata tag(s). - Most resources will be cleaned up via the general cleanup task. Check that is successful, or ensure resources are cleaned up in the test:
-
New resources have api_get_path
andapi_delete_path
implemented if possible. -
If any resource cannot be deleted in the general delete task, make sure it is ignored. -
If any resource cannot be deleted in the general delete task, remove it in the test (e.g., in an after
block).
-
-
Ensure that no transient bugs are hidden accidentally due to the usage of waits
andreloads
. -
Verify the tags to ensure it runs on the desired test environments. -
If this MR has a dependency on another MR, such as a GitLab QA MR, specify the order in which the MRs should be merged. -
(If applicable) Create a follow-up issue to document the special setup necessary to run the test: ISSUE_LINK -
If the test requires an admin's personal access token, ensure that the test passes on your local environment with and without the GITLAB_QA_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN
provided.
