E2E Tests: Scans - On Demand

Suite ID: SCAN-E2E Feature: On-demand Scans.


Test Case: SCAN-E2E-001 - Execute On-Demand Scan

Priority: critical

Tags:

  • type → @e2e, @serial
  • feature → @scans

Description/Objective: Validates the complete flow to execute an on-demand scan by opening the launch scan modal, selecting a provider by UID, adding an optional scan note, and confirming success on the Scans page.

Preconditions:

  • Admin user authentication required (admin.auth.setup setup)
  • Environment variables configured for : E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_ID,E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCESS_KEY and E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_SECRET_KEY
  • Remove any existing AWS provider with the same Account ID before starting the test
  • Create a connected AWS provider without launching a preparatory scan
  • This test must be run serially and never in parallel with other tests, as it requires the Account ID Provider to be already registered.

Flow Steps

  1. Navigate to Scans page
  2. Click "Launch Scan" to open the launch scan modal
  3. Open the Cloud Account selector and choose the entry whose text contains E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_ID
  4. Optionally fill Scan Note
  5. Click "Launch Scan" in the modal
  6. Verify the success toast appears
  7. Click the "View scan" action in the success toast
  8. Verify a row in the Scans table contains the provider account ID

Expected Result

  • Scan is launched successfully
  • Success toast is displayed to the user
  • Toast "View scan" action navigates to the In Progress tab (/scans?tab=active)
  • Scans table displays a scan entry for the selected account

Key verification points

  • Scans page loads correctly
  • Launch Scan modal opens correctly
  • Cloud Account select is available and lists the configured provider UID
  • "Launch Scan" button is rendered and enabled when form is valid
  • Success toast message: "The scan was launched successfully."
  • Toast action label "View scan" links to /scans?tab=active
  • Table contains a row with the selected account ID or new scan state (queued/available/executing)

Notes

  • The scans view is tabbed (In Progress / Completed / Scheduled) and /scans defaults to Completed. Each empty tab renders an empty-state card instead of a table, so page-loaded checks assert the tabs shell, not the table.
  • The table may take a short time to reflect the new scan; assertions look for a row containing the account ID.
  • Provider cleanup and provider connection setup are performed before each test to ensure clean state
  • Tests should run serially to avoid state conflicts.
