## Event Creation Workflow Testing

### ❌ Current Issues Identified

**Problem:** Event creation form elements are not accessible via expected selectors
- Tests expect form fields like `#tribe-event-title`, `#tribe-event-start-date`, etc.
- The actual event creation interface may have different selectors or structure
- URL `/trainer/event/manage/` is accessible but form elements are not found

**Impact:** High - Event creation is a core functionality

### 🔍 Test Scenarios Attempted

1. **SUCCESS: Create basic event with required fields only**
   - ❌ Failed: Could not locate `#tribe-event-title` field
   - Expected: Basic event creation with minimal required fields
   - Screenshot captured: `test-results/event-creation-initial.png`

2. **FAILURE: Attempt to create event without required fields**
   - ❌ Failed: Could not access form to test validation
   - Expected: Form validation errors for missing required fields

3. **FAILURE: Create event with invalid date range**
   - ❌ Failed: Could not access date fields
   - Expected: Validation errors for invalid date combinations

4. **SUCCESS: Create event with all fields populated**
   - ❌ Failed: Could not access comprehensive form fields
   - Expected: Complete event creation with all available fields

5. **SUCCESS: Verify event appears in different dashboard views**
   - ❌ Failed: Could not create event to test dashboard visibility
   - Expected: Event visibility across different dashboard filter views

### 🛠️ Recommendations for Event Creation

1. **Immediate Action Required:** Investigate actual event creation interface
2. **Update Test Selectors:** Identify correct form field selectors
3. **Interface Verification:** Manually verify event creation form is functional
4. **Test Update:** Modify test selectors to match actual implementation
