Test review submission with a required field and a photo

The checks that matter

The form has four distinct mechanisms, and a review test earns its place by exercising all of them rather than typing text and pressing post.

The final row is the one that matters commercially. A review that posts but does not render under the listing is invisible to every future buyer, and the form gives no indication anything went wrong.

The same flow as a test file

The negative case comes third, after the form is open and before anything is typed, which is the cheapest point in the flow to check it.

# Etsi 5.4: Review submission

Catalog objective: leave a review with a photo on a delivered order.
Key assertion: the review appears under the listing.

## Confirm a delivered order exists
Verify the orders page shows order "ET-4471" with status "Delivered August 27, 2026" containing "Hand-thrown Speckled Mug".

## Open the review form
Click "Leave a review" and verify a review form appears with a Rating dropdown and a "Your review" field.

## Confirm the review text is required
Click "Post review" without entering text and verify an error appears reading "Write a few words about the item."

## Write the review and attach a photo
Select "★★★★★ (5)" as the Rating, type "Beautiful glaze and it holds heat well." into "Your review", select "mug-on-shelf.jpg" as the photo, and verify the photo dropdown shows "mug-on-shelf.jpg".

## Post the review
Click "Post review" and verify the page shows "Review posted" and a review under the listing reading "Beautiful glaze and it holds heat well." with a photo badge "📷 mug-on-shelf.jpg".

The photo is selected by filename and then asserted by filename, so a control that accepts a file without registering it fails before the review is posted. Run the test with:

kane-cli testmd run tests/etsy/review-submission_test.md

Run output

Five passes. Posting the review was the slowest step at 50 seconds, since it submits the form and then asserts two things on the rendered result.

Four of the five steps cost under 31 seconds because they act on a form that is already open. Loading a page once and asserting several things against it is consistently the cheapest structure in these runs.

Taking it further

The result is coverage on a form that touches validation, a rating control, an upload and a publication path, in a file short enough to review in a minute.

Attachment handling is worth reading about separately if your forms take documents or images. Attaching files in Kane CLI covers it, and Kane CLI as a QA agent sets out where this sits in a wider suite.
