Gabriel Radureau 416cd807a3 fix(sandbox): run Dolibarr in dev mode (DOLI_PROD=0) + correct install.lock path
After seeding erp-sandbox from prod, the home dashboard rendered a generic
"technical error" banner per box: prod mode ($dolibarr_main_prod=1, the image
default via DOLI_PROD) escalates the seed's minor non-fatal warnings into that
banner. Setting DOLI_PROD=0 for non-prod environments makes Dolibarr render
real errors inline (correct for a rehearsal env) and clears the banners.

config.yaml adds `DOLI_PROD: "0"` only when env != prod, so the prod configmap
is byte-identical (prod keeps the image default DOLI_PROD=1) — verified via
helm template diff. ArgoCD rolls only the sandbox pod.

Also corrects the test/README install.lock path: Dolibarr checks the DATA root
(/var/www/documents, a PVC — persists across restarts), not /var/www/html. And
notes that a prod-seeded sandbox still needs install.lock created (the seed +
documents/mycompany sync don't include it).

test — Dolibarr UI automation (Deno + Playwright)

A small Deno + Playwright POC that drives the Dolibarr admin UI in the fr-FR locale. Playwright fills the same forms a human admin would, so the automation works even where the REST API can't (e.g. generating an API key, which is encrypted with the instance's own DOLI_INSTANCE_UNIQUE_ID).

Layout

  • main.ts — original entrypoint (first install, company/display/module setup).
  • provisionSandbox.ts — entrypoint that provisions the erp-sandbox instance for the AI agent (enable REST API, create a write-scoped user, generate its API key).
  • scripts/login.ts — admin login / logout / whoami helpers.
  • scripts/forms.tsfillForm, toggleOnOff, CKEditor/ACE helpers.
  • scripts/admin/moduleSetup.tsconfigureModule, enableApiModule.
  • scripts/admin/userSetup.tscreateUser, assignRights, generateApiKey.

Configure

Copy .env.example to .env and fill it in. .env, *.key, and .ai_agent_sandbox.key are gitignored — never commit secrets.

cp .env.example .env

Lock the installer (after a fresh install via main.ts)

Dolibarr keeps its web installer reachable until an install.lock file exists. After a fresh install (the main.ts flow), create it in the target pod — for the sandbox:

kubectl -n erp-sandbox exec \
  "$(kubectl get pod -n erp-sandbox -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=erp-sandbox -o name)" -- \
  /bin/sh -c 'touch /var/www/documents/install.lock && chown www-data:www-data /var/www/documents/install.lock'

The path is the Dolibarr data root (/var/www/documents, a PVC) — that's where Dolibarr checks, and being on the PVC the lock persists across pod restarts. For prod, swap to -n erp -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=erp. A sandbox seeded from prod still needs this: the seed (see ../ops/sandbox/) copies the DB + documents/mycompany, not install.lock.

Provision the sandbox

Provisions erp-sandbox.arcodange.lab: enables the REST API module, creates the write-scoped ai_agent_sandbox user, grants it its write rights, and has Dolibarr generate the user's API key. The key is written to test/.ai_agent_sandbox.key (gitignored) — it is never printed.

cd test
deno run --allow-all provisionSandbox.ts

Populate .env from the erp-sandbox namespace secrets first. secretkv carries the app env (including DOLI_ADMIN_PASSWORD); vso-db-credentials carries the database password:

# Admin password (key DOLI_ADMIN_PASSWORD inside the secretkv secret)
kubectl get secret secretkv -n erp-sandbox \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.DOLI_ADMIN_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d

# Database password (key `password` inside vso-db-credentials)
kubectl get secret vso-db-credentials -n erp-sandbox \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d

Set in .env:

DOLIBARR_ADDRESS=https://erp-sandbox.arcodange.lab
DOLI_ADMIN_LOGIN=admin
DOLI_ADMIN_PASSWORD="<from secretkv above>"
DOLI_DB_PASSWORD="<from vso-db-credentials above>"
# Optional — otherwise a random password is generated and only the API key emitted:
# AI_AGENT_SANDBOX_PASSWORD="<choose one>"

After it runs

The generated API key lands in test/.ai_agent_sandbox.key. Next step (not automated by this POC): load it into the dolibarr skill's sandbox config / Vault at kvv2/erp-sandbox/ai_agent.

Important

The sandbox Dolibarr is not installed/provisioned yet (empty DB, fresh install wizard). Until the install wizard has been completed against the sandbox, provisionSandbox.ts will not have a UI to drive, and the selectors in moduleSetup.ts / userSetup.ts are best-effort (Dolibarr 22 conventions, not verified live). Confirm them on the first real run.

Write rights granted

The ai_agent_sandbox user is created non-admin and granted read + create on:
