Integration test suite red pre-existente: DB creds hardcoded (qa_user) + 65 tests requieren APIs vivas no provisionadas en CI

[SabaTech-dev]

Summary

The tests/integration suite is red pre-existing (4 failed, 65 errors, 35 passed, 21 skipped) and was verified to be ALREADY broken with the exact same signature in the last green CI run of 2026-08-04 (run 30880220582, job 91900091793). It stayed invisible because the Run integration tests step carried continue-on-error: true until commit 3106846 (2026-08-04 16:00 UTC, "harden GitHub Actions workflows") removed it — correctly making CI honest and unmasking every rot layer sequentially (Black → MyPy → Unit-Tests deps → this one).

Failure signature (identical 08-04 and 08-23)

1. 4 FAILED — tests/integration/test_reporting_integration.py:
   asyncpg.exceptions.InvalidPasswordError: password authentication failed for user "qa_user"
2. 65 ERRORS — fixtures in test_concurrent.py, test_data_flow.py, test_e2e_flows.py, test_framework_dashboard.py:
   httpx.ConnectError: All connection attempts failed (+ same qa_user asyncpg errors)

Root causes

RC1 — DB credentials hardcoded, CI env ignored

The workflow provisions postgres:15 service with test:test@localhost:5432/testdb and exports DATABASE_URL, but the integration tests connect with user qa_user (hardcoded config) → auth always fails in CI.

Fix direction: make the suite honor DATABASE_URL (env-driven config) instead of hardcoded credentials; or align the service container user with the suite's expectation.

RC2 — 65 tests require live API servers the job never provisions

Multiple integration tests exercise httpx clients against running dashboard/framework HTTP services. The CI job starts only postgres+redis services — no API server — so every such fixture errors with connection refused.

Fix direction: either (a) provision the API in the job (uvicorn bootstrap before pytest), or (b) move those flow tests to the E2E workflow where servers exist, keeping tests/integration for service-backed integration only.

Interim handling

Run integration tests step is continue-on-error: true again (documented, NOT silently) so the rest of the pipeline regains a truthful green/red signal. Remove the flag when this issue's RCs are fixed.

Evidence

• Green 08-04 job log (same 4 failed / 65 errors): gh api repos/SabaTech-dev/QA-FRAMEWORK/actions/jobs/91900091793/logs → ====== 4 failed, 35 passed, 21 skipped, 29 warnings, 65 errors in 23.57s ======
• Step conclusions 08-04: Run integration tests | success (masked by then-present continue-on-error)
• Unmasking commit: 3106846 removed continue-on-error: true from integration/quality steps
• Current failing run: 32649197494

Update: el job E2E Tests de ci-cd.yml corre pytest tests/integration -m e2e — la misma suite con otro marker, con los mismos 19 errors por RC2 (verificado run 32651052654). También estaba enmascarada con continue-on-error hasta 3106846. Ambos steps (integration + e2e-pytest) quedan non-blocking referenciando este issue.

Efecto colateral crítico desbloqueado: los steps Playwright TypeScript (node 26 + smoke-install de #103/d129896) llevaban SIEMPRE skipped desde el merge de d129896 porque el pytest step fallaba antes — nunca fueron validados en CI.
