[solved] website loads locally but fails on GitHub action CI

[pinheadmz]

My test passes on both Ubuntu Desktop and MacOS in both headless and with-UI modes, however it fails on the Github workflow Ubuntu test runner. The debug logs imply that Taiko opens the browser and requests the first page (index.html) but then it does not seem to parse the DOM or load the css files.

The code is currently private but I can share debug logs. the lines beginning with [debug] are from the webserver. so I know Taiko is at least requesting that first page and the server is listening.

The error I actually get thrown on CI is:

       Error: Element with text Register Now not found

      throw new Error(error);
            ^

      at findElements (/home/runner/work/grip/grip/node_modules/taiko/lib/elementSearch.js:263:11)

      at async Context.<anonymous> (/home/runner/work/grip/grip/ui-test/login-signin-test.js:75:5)

... It's evident in the logs that initial html page isn't fully loading or loading correctly, but I'm not sure what to look into next:

Solved! HTML files were not available to the webserver on CI -doh! Thanks
