ForgeFlow Test Report - 2026-02-06

1. Test Summary

  • Login: Success
  • Workflow Creation: Success
  • Workflow Configuration: Success (with UX hurdles)
  • Secrets Management: Success (Saving) / Unverified (Execution)
  • Workflow Execution: FAILED (Stuck in 'RUNNING')

2. Errors Found

Type Description Severity
System rpa-agent service fails to start by default due to X11 authorization issues. CRITICAL
System rpa-server missing X11 environment/volumes. Playwright hangs indefinitely when launching headless: false. CRITICAL
Execution Test Runs remain in 'RUNNING' state forever. No timeout or error feedback is provided in the UI. CRITICAL
UX/Bug Inspector JSON textarea appends new characters instead of replacing, leading to invalid JSON. MEDIUM
UX Workflow renaming is non-intuitive. LOW

3. Improvements Recommended

  1. Headless Configuration: Provide a toggle for headless mode in the UI or .env. Currently hardcoded to false in runner.ts:533.
  2. Node Properties UI: Replace raw JSON editing with dedicated form fields for common properties (URL, Selectors).
  3. Execution Robustness: Implement a timeout for nodes (default 30s) that actually reports a failure in the UI if reached.
  4. Environment Check: The app should verify agent connectivity and X11 access before allowing a 'Test Run'.

4. Technical Observations

  • The rpa-server container uses a Playwright base image but lacks the DISPLAY env and X11 socket mounts required for its hardcoded headless: false setting.
  • The rpa-agent requires xhost +local: on the host to access the X11 socket.
  • tsx watch in the server container may be causing unexpected restarts if volume-mounted files are touched.

5. Conclusion

The ForgeFlow application shows a solid foundation for workflow orchestration, but currently suffers from critical infrastructure misconfigurations that prevent out-of-the-box automation (Playwright/X11). While the web UI is responsive, the heavy reliance on raw JSON editing and the lack of execution feedback/timeouts are significant barriers to user adoption. Implementing the recommended fixes for display handling and container orchestration, along with the proposed UX improvements, would dramatically improve the stability and usability of the platform.
