Background and Context

Epic #739 requires a dedicated E2E test infrastructure that is completely separate from the standard integration test suite. Currently, there is no nox -s e2e_tests session, no CI job for E2E tests, and no mechanism to tag and isolate @E2E-tagged Robot Framework tests. Without this infrastructure, all subsequent E2E test suites (milestone acceptance and workflow example tests) have nowhere to run. This issue establishes the foundational scaffolding that all other E2E child issues depend on.

Expected Behavior

When this issue is complete:

  • A nox -s e2e_tests session exists that discovers and runs only Robot Framework tests tagged with @E2E
  • The standard nox -s integration_tests session explicitly excludes @E2E-tagged tests
  • A dedicated CI job (e2e-tests) runs the nox -s e2e_tests session separately from the integration test CI job
  • The CI job requires real LLM API keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY) to be configured as CI secrets
  • A tests/e2e/ directory exists with a README.md documenting the E2E test conventions and tagging requirements

Acceptance Criteria

  • nox -s e2e_tests session is defined in noxfile.py and runs only @E2E-tagged Robot Framework tests
  • nox -s integration_tests session explicitly excludes @E2E-tagged tests (e.g., via --exclude E2E flag)
  • A dedicated CI job exists that runs nox -s e2e_tests with real LLM API keys injected as environment variables
  • The CI E2E job is separate from the integration test CI job and does not block the standard test pipeline
  • A tests/e2e/ directory is created with a README.md documenting E2E conventions, tagging, and how to run locally
  • A minimal smoke @E2E-tagged Robot Framework test (e.g., agents --version) passes in the new session

Subtasks

  • Add e2e_tests session to noxfile.py that runs Robot Framework with --include E2E tag filter
  • Update integration_tests session in noxfile.py to add --exclude E2E tag filter
  • Create tests/e2e/ directory with README.md documenting E2E conventions
  • Add a minimal smoke E2E Robot Framework test (tests/e2e/smoke/smoke.robot) tagged @E2E
  • Add CI job definition for e2e-tests that injects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY secrets
  • Verify nox -s e2e_tests runs the smoke test successfully
  • Verify nox -s integration_tests does not pick up @E2E-tagged tests
  • Update docs/development/testing.md to document the E2E session and CI job

Definition of Done

  • All acceptance criteria met
  • Tests written and passing (coverage >= 97%)
  • Code reviewed and approved
  • Documentation updated if needed
  • No regressions introduced

## Background and Context Epic #739 requires a dedicated E2E test infrastructure that is completely separate from the standard integration test suite. Currently, there is no `nox -s e2e_tests` session, no CI job for E2E tests, and no mechanism to tag and isolate `@E2E`-tagged Robot Framework tests. Without this infrastructure, all subsequent E2E test suites (milestone acceptance and workflow example tests) have nowhere to run. This issue establishes the foundational scaffolding that all other E2E child issues depend on. ## Expected Behavior When this issue is complete: - A `nox -s e2e_tests` session exists that discovers and runs only Robot Framework tests tagged with `@E2E` - The standard `nox -s integration_tests` session explicitly excludes `@E2E`-tagged tests - A dedicated CI job (`e2e-tests`) runs the `nox -s e2e_tests` session separately from the integration test CI job - The CI job requires real LLM API keys (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) to be configured as CI secrets - A `tests/e2e/` directory exists with a `README.md` documenting the E2E test conventions and tagging requirements ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `nox -s e2e_tests` session is defined in `noxfile.py` and runs only `@E2E`-tagged Robot Framework tests - [ ] `nox -s integration_tests` session explicitly excludes `@E2E`-tagged tests (e.g., via `--exclude E2E` flag) - [ ] A dedicated CI job exists that runs `nox -s e2e_tests` with real LLM API keys injected as environment variables - [ ] The CI E2E job is separate from the integration test CI job and does not block the standard test pipeline - [ ] A `tests/e2e/` directory is created with a `README.md` documenting E2E conventions, tagging, and how to run locally - [ ] A minimal smoke `@E2E`-tagged Robot Framework test (e.g., `agents --version`) passes in the new session ## Subtasks - [ ] Add `e2e_tests` session to `noxfile.py` that runs Robot Framework with `--include E2E` tag filter - [ ] Update `integration_tests` session in `noxfile.py` to add `--exclude E2E` tag filter - [ ] Create `tests/e2e/` directory with `README.md` documenting E2E conventions - [ ] Add a minimal smoke E2E Robot Framework test (`tests/e2e/smoke/smoke.robot`) tagged `@E2E` - [ ] Add CI job definition for `e2e-tests` that injects `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` secrets - [ ] Verify `nox -s e2e_tests` runs the smoke test successfully - [ ] Verify `nox -s integration_tests` does not pick up `@E2E`-tagged tests - [ ] Update `docs/development/testing.md` to document the E2E session and CI job ## Definition of Done - [ ] All acceptance criteria met - [ ] Tests written and passing (coverage >= 97%) - [ ] Code reviewed and approved - [ ] Documentation updated if needed - [ ] No regressions introduced ## Metadata - **Commit message:** `test(e2e): implement nox e2e_tests session and CI job for E2E Robot Framework suite` - **Branch name:** `test/e2e-nox-session-and-ci-job` --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: Epic Planning Pool | Agent: epic-planning-pool-supervisor

Verified — nox e2e_tests session is required for CI integration of E2E tests. MoSCoW: Must-have. Priority: Medium.
