Add containerized WebXR browser smoke coverage

[arussell-nvidia]

Summary

• Add containerized WebXR browser smoke coverage to the existing CloudXR web-client build action.
• Build the web client, run Jest, and run a Playwright smoke check inside an isolated container without host networking or published host ports.
• Verify only the desktop browser/IWER path reaches the Connect-ready state; this PR does not claim full Quick Start end-to-end validation.
• Add retry/backoff around wheel artifact URL resolution so transient post-upload lookup timeouts do not fail otherwise successful wheel publishing.

Validation

• npm test -- --runInBand
• GitHub Actions Build Teleop Web App passed on a8aeeffb
• New workflow run is pending/running on ebeaa7ad for the wheel-publish retry change

Follow-up

A true Quick Start e2e should be handled separately with a system test that starts the CloudXR runtime, connects the WebXR client, sends XR/controller input, and validates the teleop example output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The web client gains Playwright end-to-end test support. The change adds a Playwright config, a new npm script and dev dependencies, a quick-start e2e test, and CI steps to install Chromium browser dependencies and run the new test target.

Can we build and run tests in a container env so that you can truly test e2e without host network (and enable multiple instances on the same host?)

[arussell-nvidia]

Thanks, good point. I am checking whether this e2e path can run in a containerized environment without relying on host networking, and what isolation is needed for multiple instances on one host.

[arussell-nvidia]

Thanks, I pushed a follow-up commit for this. The web client action now runs the build, Jest tests, and Quick Start Playwright e2e test inside an isolated Docker container, with a per-run Docker network/container name and no host networking or published host ports. I also made the Playwright host/port/base URL configurable so the dev server can bind inside the container while the browser connects locally within that container.

Local verification before pushing:

• npm test passed.
• USE_LOCAL_WEBXR_ASSETS=0 npm run build passed with the existing bundle-size warnings.
• npm run test:e2e could not complete on this Windows workstation because Chromium launch is blocked with browserType.launch: spawn EPERM; the containerized path is set up to run in CI with the Playwright image.

Quick CI update: Build Teleop Web App is green on commit 1079d69c, so the containerized web client build, Jest, and Quick Start Playwright e2e path passed in GitHub Actions. The broader platform matrix is still running.

[yanziz-nvidia]

the test doesn't really test e2e?

if you look at quick start https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/quick_start.html it involves many components. We are not testing with just playwright loading the page. We need to actually connect to IT and send data and validate every steps in that quick start.

[yanziz-nvidia]

see https://nvidia.github.io/IsaacTeleop/main/getting_started/quick_start.html what exactly test e2e of quick start means

[arussell-nvidia]

Thanks, you're right. I pushed a8aeeffb to stop presenting this as a Quick Start e2e test.

This PR now scopes the added coverage to a containerized WebXR browser smoke check: it builds the web client, runs Jest, and uses Playwright only to verify that the desktop browser path loads IWER and reaches the Connect-ready state without host networking or published host ports.

A true Quick Start e2e should be a separate system test that starts the CloudXR runtime, connects the WebXR client to it, sends XR/controller input, and validates the teleop example output. I'll keep this PR limited to the smaller smoke coverage rather than claiming full Quick Start validation.

[arussell-nvidia]

I updated this PR so it no longer presents the added coverage as a Quick Start E2E test. The current scope is a containerized WebXR browser smoke check: build the web client, run Jest, and use Playwright to verify the desktop browser path loads IWER and reaches the Connect-ready state without host networking or published host ports.

That addresses the review feedback by separating this smoke coverage from the real multi-component Quick Start E2E work, which should remain a separate system test/design. Current checks are green/skipped and the branch is mergeable. Ready for re-review.
