import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

// Point tests at the live GitHub Pages deployment.
// The tests call page.goto('/') which resolves to the root of the origin.
// GitHub Pages serves the app at /sv-tutorial/, so we set baseURL to the
// origin and rely on the fact that page.goto('/sv-tutorial/') would be correct.
// However, since we can't change the test files, we set baseURL so that
// page.goto('/') hits the right place.
//
// Playwright URL resolution: new URL(givenURL, baseURL)
// new URL('/', 'https://thomasnormal.github.io/sv-tutorial/') => 'https://thomasnormal.github.io/'
// new URL('', 'https://thomasnormal.github.io/sv-tutorial/') => 'https://thomasnormal.github.io/sv-tutorial/'
//
// The tests use page.goto('/') so we cannot use a subpath baseURL trick.
// Instead, we use the webServer-less mode and set baseURL to the full path,
// then rely on a global beforeEach override via use.extraHTTPHeaders or
// custom storageState — but the cleanest is to just accept that page.goto('/')
// will redirect. Let's check if GitHub Pages redirects / to /sv-tutorial/ for
// this repo. It does not (returns 404).
//
// Therefore: override baseURL to full site URL and patch goto by using
// the 'baseURL' as the full app URL. page.goto('/') must be intercepted.
// We use a custom 'page' fixture that overrides goto.
