作者： clerk

E2E测试工具，用于在Playwright和Cypress中测试Clerk认证流程。支持Playwright和Cypress框架，并提供框架特定的设置模式（Playwright的globalSetup，Cypress的自定义命令）。提供clerkSetup()和setupClerkTestingToken()工具，用于初始化测试环境并绕过机器人检测。包含storageState持久化功能，可在测试间复用已认证的会话，减少测试执行时间。需要测试API密钥（pk_test_*，...）

Testing

Decision Tree

Framework	Documentation
Overview	https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/overview
Playwright	https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/playwright/overview
Cypress	https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/cypress/overview

Mental Model

Test auth = isolated session state. Each test needs fresh auth context.

clerkSetup() initializes test environment
setupClerkTestingToken() bypasses bot detection
storageState persists auth between tests for speed

Workflow

Identify test framework (Playwright or Cypress)
WebFetch the appropriate URL from decision tree above
Follow official setup instructions
Use pk_test_* and sk_test_* keys only

Best Practices

Use setupClerkTestingToken() before navigating to auth pages
Use test API keys: pk_test_xxx, sk_test_xxx
Save auth state with storageState for faster tests
Use page.waitForSelector('[data-clerk-component]') for Clerk UI

Anti-Patterns

Pattern	Problem	Fix
Production keys in tests	Security risk	Use `pk_test_*` keys
No `setupClerkTestingToken()`	Auth fails	Call before navigation
UI-based sign-in every test	Slow tests	Use `storageState`
