ThrillWiki Comprehensive Testing Summary Report

Date: 2025-01-07
Status: TESTING WORKFLOW COMPLETED
Scope: Complete system validation after Company-to-Entity migration
Duration: Multi-phase testing across system health, migration repair, test suite analysis, manual testing, and browser testing

Executive Summary

The comprehensive testing workflow for ThrillWiki has been completed successfully. The testing revealed that while the site is functionally operational, there are critical display issues with the new entity relationships that prevent users from seeing key information about operators and manufacturers. The core migration infrastructure is working correctly, but the user interface implementation is incomplete.

Testing Workflow Phases Completed

Phase 1: System Health Validation (COMPLETED)

Objective: Validate basic Django system functionality after migration Status: CRITICAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED

Initial Findings:

  • 🚨 Migration system completely broken due to orphaned companies app references
  • Django system checks failing
  • Development server unable to start
  • Test suite non-functional

Resolution: Complete migration system repair implemented

Phase 2: Migration Repair (COMPLETED)

Objective: Fix broken migration dependencies and references Status: SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED

Actions Taken:

  • Fixed migration file references from companies.company to operators.operator
  • Updated foreign key references from companies.manufacturer to manufacturers.manufacturer
  • Removed orphaned migration dependencies
  • Updated test runner configuration
  • Cleaned up import statements

Validation Results:

  • uv run manage.py check - No issues
  • uv run manage.py showmigrations - All migrations display correctly
  • Migration graph validation successful
  • System fully operational

Phase 3: Test Suite Analysis (COMPLETED)

Objective: Validate test infrastructure and identify test-specific issues Status: INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRED, SPECIFIC ISSUES IDENTIFIED

Test Infrastructure Results:

  • Test database creation: WORKING
  • Migration system in tests: FUNCTIONAL
  • New entity relationships: OPERATIONAL

Test Results by App:

  • Search App: 7/7 tests passing
  • Parks App: 8/10 tests failing (field name mismatch: owneroperator)
  • Rides App: ⚠️ No tests found
  • New Entity Apps: ⚠️ No tests found (operators, manufacturers, property_owners)

Key Finding: Test infrastructure is fully functional. Failures are due to test code using old field names, not structural issues.

Phase 4: Manual Testing (COMPLETED)

Objective: Validate core functionality through manual interaction Status: BASIC FUNCTIONALITY CONFIRMED

Manual Testing Results:

  • Development server starts successfully
  • Admin interface accessible
  • Database operations functional
  • Basic page navigation working
  • Search functionality operational

Phase 5: Browser Testing (COMPLETED)

Objective: Validate user-facing functionality and identify display issues Status: CRITICAL DISPLAY ISSUES IDENTIFIED

Critical Issues Discovered During Browser Testing

🚨 CRITICAL: Missing Entity Display Implementation

Issue 1: Operator Information Not Displaying on Park Pages

  • Problem: Park detail pages show no operator information
  • Expected: Display park operator name and details
  • Current: Operator field exists in model but not rendered in templates
  • Impact: Users cannot see who operates each park

Issue 2: Manufacturer Information Showing as "Unknown"

  • Problem: Ride detail pages display "Unknown" for manufacturer
  • Expected: Display actual manufacturer name when available
  • Current: Manufacturer relationship exists but template logic incomplete
  • Impact: Users cannot see ride manufacturer information

Issue 3: Search Suggestions Endpoint Returning 404 Errors

  • Problem: Search autocomplete functionality broken
  • Expected: Dynamic search suggestions for parks and rides
  • Current: Endpoint /search/suggestions/ returns 404
  • Impact: Degraded search user experience

Technical Analysis of Display Issues

Root Cause: The migration successfully updated the database models and relationships, but the template rendering logic was not fully updated to display the new entity information.

Affected Templates:

  • templates/parks/park_detail.html - Missing operator display logic
  • templates/rides/ride_detail.html - Incomplete manufacturer display logic
  • Search suggestion endpoints not properly configured

Model Relationships Status:

  • Database relationships: WORKING
  • Foreign key constraints: FUNCTIONAL
  • Template rendering: INCOMPLETE
  • Search endpoints: BROKEN

System Status Summary
