use Automated Browser Testing tool for Patient Access API authorization step?

[AnalogJ]

I'd like to use infero-core as part of an automated testing suite for our integration code.

We have a "Standalone Patient App - Full Access" App that we'd like to test against multiple EHR vendor servers as part of our Github Deployment. I found inferno_ci.yml which seems to do 90% of what we need, however we need to test the patient authorization process, to generate the Access Token.

Is it possible to trigger Playwrite/Selenium/other automated browser testing tool as part of the Inferno tool, so we can authenticate as a a patient (using portal credentials) and then continue the testing suite?

It is not possible at this time, and adding it would be a pretty large undertaking.

Rather than using the CLI, the easiest solution here would probably be to stand up a full instance of Inferno, and drive Inferno itself via a browser automation tool. I'm aware of at least one organization doing this.

You could also stand up an instance of Inferno, execute tests using the JSON API, and then start doing browser automation when you see that you've received a wait result to redirect the user to the auth endpoint. But just using a browser automation tool to use Inferno's UI to drive the JSON API is probably a much smaller lift than creating a custom client to drive the JSON API and then still having to set up browser automation for the user auth.
