A Run Receipt for Disposable Email Tests

说明与用途

使用临时邮箱的测试运行记录通过简洁的 JSON 文件记录关键事件，避免存储敏感信息，从而加速调试。

问题

Email tests often fail with ambiguous diagnostics, making debugging slow and error‑prone.

结果

The run receipt reduces debugging time by providing a concise, non‑sensitive record of email test execution, linking mailbox, logs, and CI run via run_id.

工作流

• Create a disposable email address and record mailbox in receipt
• Submit signup or password‑reset form
• Poll for email, updating receipt with attempts and final status
• If email arrives, record message ID and link state; if not, record timeout/not‑found/provider‑error
• Upload receipt as CI artifact on failure (and optionally on success)
• Clean up mailbox after test
• Use run_id to correlate receipt with logs and traces

证据

Email tests often fail in the least helpful way: the browser says that verification never arrived, while the CI log only says that an assertion timed out.

来源

The receipt should be uploaded as a CI artifact on failure and, optionally, on success for a short retention period.

来源

The run_id is the important field. It connects the mailbox, application logs, browser trace, and CI job.
