Review Summary
This PR enhances the testHelpMenuAskYourInstructorMessage E2E test to verify that when a student uses "Ask Your Instructor", all instructors in the course receive the message individually (as separate conversations), not just the first one. This is a valuable test improvement that validates an important aspect of the messaging feature.
Positive Feedback
✅ Excellent test coverage expansion - The test now validates the multi-teacher scenario, which is a realistic use case
✅ Thorough verification - Checks both teachers receive messages individually and that conversations are properly isolated (teacher1 doesn't see teacher2's conversation and vice versa)
✅ Good test structure - The login/logout flow for switching between teachers is well-implemented
✅ Comprehensive assertions - Verifies recipients, subjects, and message content for both teacher perspectives
Issues to Address
- Variable naming clarity (line 554):
recipientListWithSecondTeachercould be clearer - these represent separate conversations, not cumulative recipients - Log message accuracy (line 556): Log states question is sent to "the instructor" (singular) but behavior now sends to all instructors
- Potential race condition (line 566): Asserting both conversations exist in sent folder - verify assertion methods handle async message delivery
Code Quality
The changes follow good testing practices with clear logging at each step. The test is well-structured and easy to follow. Minor improvements in naming and documentation would make this even better.
Test Coverage
Strong improvement in test coverage for the multi-instructor scenario. This will help catch regressions in the "Ask Your Instructor" feature's broadcast behavior.
Overall, this is a solid enhancement to the test suite. The inline comments contain specific suggestions for improvement.
