this file is under a test folder because otherwise it would raise the following error:

Error: Vitest failed to access its internal state.

One of the following is possible:
- "vitest" is imported directly without running "vitest" command
- "vitest" is imported inside "globalSetup" (to fix this, use "setupFiles" instead, because "globalSetup" runs in a different context)
- Otherwise, it might be a Vitest bug. Please report it to https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/issues

Thanks for doing this @onim-at and especially for the cypress tests! I'll comment on them seperately, first the QA-ing though. I'm getting weird behaviour.

1. The search seems to work for flash and then clears?

2. I'm not even sure what's going on with the orders...

I'll add some categories to the preview DB too so I can check the categories.

[benfurber]

Added a category. Clicking on one doesn't seem to do anything. i.e. it doesn't select the option, add to the path or filter the list.

Hello @benfurber! Thanks for the review and QA, I tried to reproduce the issues locally

1. The search seems to work for flash and then clears?

That was a tricky bug! The const params = new URLSearchParams(request.url) inside api.questions.ts was creating the following object, mapping incorrectly the first search parameters

URLSearchParams {
  'http://localhost:3000/api/questions?words' => 'test',
  'category' => '',
  'sort' => 'MostRelevant',
  'lastDocId' => '' 
}

I fixed it by extracting first the URL, then the search params

const url = new URL(request.url)
const params = new URLSearchParams(url.search)

2. I'm not even sure what's going on with the orders...

I couldn't reproduce it locally, it looks ok to me😞

3. filtering categories

Same thing for the categories, it is working properly on my local

[benfurber]

Nice investigation on the search bug!

I had a play with this locally using PP prod data (minus the new commenting stuff as I don't have all the prod creds I'd need for the env easily to hand).

We've removed the comment ordering anyway for the moment so I think this can go through.

Thanks @onim-at!
