2022-21-11 - Run Lighthouse tests in E2E env

INFO

This document represents an architecture decision record (ADR) and has been mirrored from the ADR section in our Shopware 6 repository. You can find the original version here

Context

The Lighthouse test ran in the APP_ENV=prod, this meant that also AdminQueueWorker was active, which is recommended to not be used in real prod setups.

Decision

Use APP_ENV=e2e for lighthouse tests, to deactivate the admin worker. After removing enqueue lighthouse ran int o timeouts when the admin worker was used, this solves this problem also. Besides that it should lead to much more realistic results.

Consequences

This means that the lighthouse tests won't run in the real prod env anymore, but the main difference between the two envs is that in e2e env the admin worker is deactivated, which is probably closer to "real" production setups. The only other difference is that all rate limits are deactivated in the e2e env, but this is not relevant for the lighthouse tests.
