Tests

1. File Manager Loading Skeleton

expected: Open the file manager. While documents are loading, the content area shows 5 animated shimmer/pulse rows instead of any "Loading…" text. Once loaded, the shimmer rows disappear and real content (or an empty state) renders. result: issue reported: "Cloud folder view: no skeleton visible on load (loading=false on first render). Cloud files unclickable with no feedback." severity: major fix_applied: "loading=ref(true) in CloudFolderView; onFileOpen shows info toast. Commit ce67b9f. Local storage loads too fast to verify manually — skeleton confirmed present in template."

2. Empty State — No Documents

expected: In a folder with no documents, the content area shows a styled empty state with an icon (folder or document), a headline like "No documents yet" or similar, and descriptive subtext. Not just a blank white area. result: pass

3. Empty State — No Search Results

expected: Type a search query that returns no matches. The content area shows an empty state with a search icon, a "No results" headline, and a "Clear search" link/button that resets the query. result: pass note: Search bar only visible inside a folder (breadcrumb.length > 0) — by design, root shows folders only. Empty state confirmed working inside folder.

4. Sidebar Loading Skeletons

expected: On first load, the sidebar's Folders, Cloud, and Topics sections show animated shimmer placeholder rows while their data loads. No plain spinner or "Loading" text. result: issue reported: "Local storage too fast to see any loading. Nextcloud sidebar section does nothing until folder loads — no skeleton or feedback visible during load." severity: major

5. Sidebar Empty States

expected: With no folders created, no cloud connections, and no topics, each sidebar section shows a small (compact) empty state: a tiny icon with a brief message like "Create a folder in the file manager", "Connect in Settings", or "No topics yet". result: issue reported: "Empty states confirmed. But search bar and sorting controls are not visible at the root of the cloud and local file browser." severity: major note: Search-at-root absence was previously noted in test 3 as "by design", but user is explicitly flagging it as missing expected functionality.

6. Sidebar — No Inline "New Folder" Button

expected: The sidebar's Folders section header does NOT have a "New" or "New folder" button next to it. Folder creation happens only via the file manager toolbar. result: pass

7. Breadcrumb Bar in File Manager

expected: The file manager shows a breadcrumb bar above the content. At the root it shows "Home". After navigating into a folder it shows "Home > FolderName". Clicking "Home" navigates back to root. result: pass

8. Breadcrumb Bar in Admin Views

expected: Admin views (Users, Quotas, AI Config, Audit Log) and Settings show a breadcrumb bar with static segments like "Users", "Settings > Account", etc. No "Home" root button in these views. result: issue reported: "Admin views still show the normal user sidebar." severity: major

9. Toast on Document Delete

expected: Delete a document. A toast notification appears in the bottom-right corner with a success message (e.g., "Document deleted"). It auto-dismisses after a few seconds. result: pass

10. Toast on File Upload

expected: Upload one or more files. After upload completes, a toast appears summarising the result (e.g., "2 files uploaded" or a per-file message). It appears without a page refresh. result: pass note: User also reported drag-and-drop didn't work — covered in tests 15–17.

11. Keyboard Shortcut — / Focuses Search

expected: While viewing the file manager with focus NOT in a text field, press "/". The search bar receives focus (cursor appears inside it). Pressing "/" while already in a text input does NOT trigger this. result: issue reported: "Search bar not visible at directory root (see gap #2). When inside a folder where search IS visible, pressing '/' does nothing." severity: major

12. Keyboard Shortcut — U Opens Upload

expected: While viewing the file manager with focus not in a text field, press "U". The file-picker dialog opens (browser native file chooser), same as clicking the upload button. result: issue reported: "Pressing U does not open the file picker." severity: major

13. Keyboard Shortcut — N Starts New Folder

expected: While viewing the file manager with focus not in a text field, press "N". The new-folder inline input appears in the content area, same as clicking the "New folder" toolbar button. result: issue reported: "Pressing N does not trigger new folder input." severity: major

14. Keyboard Shortcut — Escape Clears Search

expected: With a search query active in the file manager, press "Escape". The search field clears and the full document list returns. result: issue reported: "Field clears on Escape, but search no longer works afterwards — cannot type a new query." severity: major

15. OS Drag Overlay

expected: From the OS (Finder/Explorer), drag a file and hover it over the browser window. A full-screen semi-transparent overlay appears saying something like "Drop files to upload". Releasing the file starts the upload. result: issue reported: "Overlay appears correctly, but dropping the file does not start the upload." severity: major

16. Drag Document to Folder

expected: In the file manager, drag a document row onto a folder row. The folder row highlights while the document hovers over it. Releasing drops the document into the folder (it moves; the folder item count updates). result: pass

17. Click-After-Drag Guard

expected: After dragging a document (without dropping it onto a folder — just drag and release), the document does NOT open or navigate. The drag gesture does not accidentally trigger a "file open" action. result: pass

18. Admin View Skeletons

expected: Open the Admin > Audit Log or Admin > Users page while data loads. The table body shows skeleton rows (animated shimmer cells) instead of a spinner or "Loading…" text. result: pass note: Skeleton visible but very briefly — data loads fast locally. Skeleton confirmed present.

19. Admin Audit Log Empty State

expected: With no audit log entries (or with filters that match nothing), the audit log table shows an empty state with a "Clear filters" button. Not just an empty table with no rows. result: pass
