### 2. Service Worker
#### Test 2.1: Service Worker Registration
1. Open DevTools → Application → Service Workers
2. **Expected Results:**

- ✅ Status: "activated and running"
- ✅ No registration errors
- ✅ Update on reload enabled
#### Test 2.2: Cache Storage
1. Open DevTools → Application → Cache Storage
2. Navigate through the app (Home, Scan, Settings)
3. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Multiple cache buckets created:
- workbox-precache (app shell)
- supabase-rest-api
- supabase-storage

- google-fonts-stylesheets
- google-fonts-webfonts
- ✅ App shell assets cached (JS, CSS, HTML)
- ✅ Icons and images cached
#### Test 2.3: Update Behavior
1. Make a code change
2. Rebuild the app
3. Refresh the page
4. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Service worker updates in background
- ✅ New version activates automatically (skipWaiting)
- ✅ No manual refresh required for future visits
### 3. Offline Functionality
#### Test 3.1: Complete Offline Mode
1. Load the app while online
2. Navigate to all pages (Home, Scan, Settings)
3. Open DevTools → Network tab
4. Enable "Offline" mode
5. Try navigating the app
6. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ App continues to function
- ✅ Previously visited pages load instantly
- ✅ Offline banner appears at top
- ✅ Banner shows "You're currently offline" message
- ✅ Navigation between cached pages works
- ✅ No white screens or errors
#### Test 3.2: Offline Fallback Page
1. Go offline (DevTools Network → Offline)
2. Try navigating to a non-cached page (e.g., type random URL)
3. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Redirects to /offline page
- ✅ Shows WiFi icon and helpful message
- ✅ Lists what you can do offline
- ✅ "Try Again" button present
- ✅ Auto-redirects when back online
#### Test 3.3: Online Status Detection
1. Start online, go offline, come back online
2. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Offline banner appears when offline
- ✅ "Back online!" banner shows when reconnected (green)
- ✅ Banner auto-hides after 3 seconds
- ✅ No false positives
#### Test 3.4: API Request Caching (Supabase)
1. While online, view some inventory items (once implemented)
2. Go offline
3. Navigate to the items page
4. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Previously loaded items still visible
- ✅ Network requests fail gracefully
- ✅ Cached data is served
- ✅ No crashes or white screens
#### Test 3.5: Image Caching (Product Images)

3. View the same products again
4. **Expected Results:**
- ✅ Product images load from cache
- ✅ No broken image placeholders

- ✅ No app crashes
- ✅ App continues to function
## Automated Testing (Future)
### Playwright E2E Tests (Planned)
```typescript
// Example test structure
test('PWA installs correctly', async ({ page }) => {
// Test installation flow
})
test('App works offline', async ({ page, context }) => {
// Load app, go offline, verify functionality
})
```
## Known Issues & Limitations
1. **iOS Safari:**
- No beforeinstallprompt event (use manual Add to Home Screen)
- Service worker has storage limits
- Background sync not supported
2. **Firefox:**
- Install prompt may not show (desktop only)
- Use "Add to Home Screen" on mobile
3. **Development Mode:**
- Service worker may behave differently
- Always test in production build
## Troubleshooting
### Service Worker Not Updating
- Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
- DevTools → Application → Service Workers → Unregister
- Clear cache and reload
### Install Prompt Not Showing
- Check if already installed
- Check localStorage for `pwa-install-dismissed`
- Wait 7 days or clear localStorage
- Ensure criteria met (HTTPS, manifest, service worker)
### Offline Mode Not Working
- Verify service worker is active
- Check cache storage has content
- Ensure you visited pages while online first
