Verifying job-finder changes
Launch
- Dev server:
yarn app:dev(nodemon) oryarn server:start; serves athttp://localhost:8000(PORT env, default 8000). Check first — it's often already running. - In dev mode the UI is bundled from
src/uiper request via esbuild middleware, so UI edits are picked up on page reload — no rebuild step.
Drive
- The app blocks on onboarding unless localStorage has
ai-job-finder-storagewith{"isOnboarded":true,...}. To skip onboarding in a fresh Playwright profile:localStorage.setItem('ai-job-finder-storage', JSON.stringify({ isOnboarded: true, settings: {} }))then reload. Restore{"isOnboarded":false,"partialSettings":{}}when done. - Jobs data comes from
/api/jobs, companies from/api/companies— both already populated locally. - Jobs-list view prefs persist under localStorage key
ai-job-finder-ui-prefs.
Gotchas
- Playwright MCP screenshots with relative paths land in the repo root, not
.playwright-mcp/— use absolute scratchpad paths. - Job cards animate in (
cardIn, staggered by index); screenshot right after reload catches half-faded cards. Wait a beat before capturing. - The server on :8000 is usually the user's own dev server — never kill or restart it. Close the Playwright browser when done.
