GoWA : Golang Web Application

Architecture

• Frontend :

• Backend :

• Container : Docker

Install

docker compose --profile test build

Run

docker compose up nextapp

Testing

Unit Tests (Frontend)

Run Jest tests locally:

cd frontend && npm test

E2E Tests (Frontend + Backend)

Run full E2E tests with backend and database orchestrated together:

npm run test:e2e

Or from the frontend directory:

docker compose --profile test up frontend-test --abort-on-container-exit

Clean up containers after testing:

npm run test:e2e:down

Note: The E2E test service automatically handles:

• Starting the PostgreSQL database
• Starting the backend API server
• Waiting for services to be healthy before running tests
• Using internal container networking (backend at http://goapp:8000)
