Research direction

Start in e2e/react-start/basic-auth by inspecting the Basic Auth Playwright configuration and the package's start and test:e2e scripts. Reproduce the failure with the provided pnpm commands, then verify that the server starts from dist/server/server.js and that the Playwright browser suite actually runs successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Basic Auth Playwright config builds the app with vite build, which writes dist/server/server.js, then starts the app through pnpm start. The package's start script still runs node .output/server/index.mjs, which does not exist after the Vite build.

The package test:e2e script also begins with exit 0;, so Nx reports success without running the browser suite.

Reproduction

cd e2e/react-start/basic-auth
pnpm run prisma-generate
pnpm exec playwright test tests/app.spec.ts --project=chromium --grep "Posts redirects to login when not authenticated"

The Vite build finishes, then Playwright fails to start its web server because .output/server/index.mjs is missing.

Expected behavior

The Basic Auth E2E suite should start the server produced by its Vite build and execute the Playwright tests.
