actual-mcp-server: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/playwright-tests.instructions.md

actual-mcp-server playwright-tests.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from agigante80/actual-mcp-server. It costs 616 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Playwright end-to-end tests, which test the application through its real running services. They cover test files and their configuration for this MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing files in tests/e2e/, running the Docker-based browser tests, checking their types, or keeping shared test helpers and configuration correct.
Why use it?
They prevent common test failures and inconsistencies, such as using the wrong Docker command, hardcoding credentials, or forgetting to update the expected tool count.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is agigante80/actual-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on actual-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything actual-mcp-server configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

actual-mcp-server playwright-tests.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Rules for Playwright E2E test files (tests/e2e/)

Read tests/e2e/README.md Technical Guidelines before editing any file here.

These tests require a live Docker stack. Run with npm run test:e2e:docker:full, not npm run test:e2e (which expects Docker-internal hostnames from the host). Run npm run typecheck:e2e after editing: Playwright transpiles specs without typechecking them. Only npm run test:unit-js and npm run build are appropriate in Copilot's default ephemeral environment.

Key rules:

  • Never hardcode server URLs or credentials — always use process.env.MCP_SERVER_URL
  • EXPECTED_TOOL_COUNT must be updated to the current total whenever a tool is added or removed
  • File-size target: 500 lines per spec file. Files over 700 lines must be evaluated for a split, EXCEPT docker-all-tools.e2e.spec.ts: #366 removed a per-domain split of exactly that file because nothing ever executed it
  • Do not duplicate helpers. Import transport utilities from tests/shared/e2e-helpers.ts (and tests/shared/mcp-protocol.js for JS callers), and import test plus the make* factories from tests/e2e/fixtures.ts, instead of defining helpers locally in spec files
  • These are API-only tests (HTTP JSON-RPC). Do not use page.* or any browser APIs
  • Do NOT add baseURL interaction patterns — specs call MCP_SERVER_URL directly
  • Retry logic (retries: 2) is configured in playwright.config.ts / playwright.config.docker.ts — don't add manual retry loops
  • Every test provisions its own data (#375). Ask the fixtures in tests/e2e/fixtures.ts (async ({ mcp, makeAccount }) => ...); never read an id another test wrote, and never add a shared mutable context. A test must pass when run alone with --grep
  • Everything a factory creates is torn down automatically. For anything no factory owns, call cleanup.add(CLEANUP_ORDER.<kind>, label, fn), registering it BEFORE the work so a failed assertion still tears down. There is no afterAll
  • Every tool that performs a mutation must read the state back and assert it, and a delete test must assert absence from the corresponding list
  • Every tool with a UUID parameter needs at least one negative test using '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
