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
