Find the test file using Glob with pattern *.e2e.ts or *.e2e-ee.ts in apps/api
Extract the filename (without extension) - e.g., trigger-event-preferences.e2e.ts → trigger-event-preferences
Determine the test location:
- Check if the test is in src/ or e2e/enterprise/
Run the appropriate command based on test location:

For tests in src/ directory:

pnpm exec cross-env NODE_ENV=test CI_EE_TEST=true CLERK_ENABLED=true NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192 mocha --timeout 30000 --retries 3 --grep '#novu-v2' --require ./swc-register.js --exit --file e2e/setup.ts 'src/**/<name-of-the-test>.e2e{,-ee}.ts'

For tests in e2e/enterprise/ directory:

pnpm exec cross-env NODE_ENV=test CI_EE_TEST=true CLERK_ENABLED=true NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192 mocha --timeout 30000 --retries 3 --grep '#novu-v2' --require ./swc-register.js --exit --file e2e/setup.ts 'e2e/enterprise/**/<name-of-the-test>.e2e.ts'

Replace <name-of-the-test> with the actual test filename (without extension).

Examples

Running trigger-event-preferences test (in src/):

# Found: apps/api/src/app/events/e2e/trigger-event-preferences.e2e.ts
pnpm exec cross-env NODE_ENV=test CI_EE_TEST=true CLERK_ENABLED=true NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192 mocha --timeout 30000 --retries 3 --grep '#novu-v2' --require ./swc-register.js --exit --file e2e/setup.ts 'src/**/trigger-event-preferences.e2e{,-ee}.ts'

Running enterprise billing test:

# Found: apps/api/e2e/enterprise/billing/billing.e2e.ts
pnpm exec cross-env NODE_ENV=test CI_EE_TEST=true CLERK_ENABLED=true NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192 mocha --timeout 30000 --retries 3 --grep '#novu-v2' --require ./swc-register.js --exit --file e2e/setup.ts 'e2e/enterprise/**/billing.e2e.ts'

Important Notes

Always run commands from apps/api directory
For specific tests, use the full mocha command (not pnpm script) to target the exact test file
Report test results clearly to the user
