martmull eb9cc1862a Fix flaky e2e tests: CI-realistic timeouts + retry-safe kanban field label (#22701)
# Context

Part of a CI flakiness sweep. `ci-e2e-main` fails on ~8% of main pushes
(15 failing runs on 2026-07-08 alone), always the same three tests,
always on 5-second `expect` timeouts:

- `onboarding.spec.ts` — `Create your workspace` heading after sign-up
(sign-up mutation → loadCurrentUser → workspace-creation-defaults query,
three sequential round trips)
- `signup_invite_email.spec.ts` — `Create profile` (invite sign-up +
token exchange + full metadata load)
- `create-kanban-view.spec.ts` — `No Value` kanban column (view +
viewFields + viewGroups persistence, no-value group settles last)

The runner hosts the dev-mode NestJS server (`nest start --watch`), the
worker and Chromium simultaneously, so 5s is structurally too tight;
neighboring steps in the same specs already use 30-90s timeouts.

# Fix

- `playwright.config.ts`: `expect.timeout` 5s → 15s and test timeout 30s
→ 60s **on CI only** (the config already branches on `process.env.CI`
for retries/reporter). These are web-first auto-retrying assertions, so
green runs are not slowed — only genuinely failing assertions wait
longer. The 60s test budget also fixes an existing inconsistency: the
kanban spec has a 30s per-assertion timeout inside a 30s test budget.
- `create-kanban-view.spec.ts`: use a per-run unique label for the
Industry select field. The spec is `test.describe.serial`, and
Playwright retries re-run the whole group against the same database (no
reset between in-run retries). The already-created `Industry` field made
the label-uniqueness validation fail permanently, so Save stayed
disabled and **every retry of this group failed deterministically**
("element is not enabled" after 30s) — retries were dead weight for this
spec.

Adversarially reviewed: the alternative (per-assertion timeouts) is the
whack-a-mole pattern already attempted once (`Food` has a 30s patch);
`waitForResponse` on operation names would be more lines and more
brittle.

Test-infra only, 2 files, +11/-6.

Note for the team (out of scope here): `ci-e2e-main.yaml` builds the
server and then discards it — `nx start twenty-server` runs `rimraf dist
&& NODE_ENV=development nest start --watch`. Running the built server
would cut latency and runner load across the whole suite.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
