Test Evidence: Authenticated dashboard landing

Test type: Web
Requirement IDs: I1-UI-03, I1-UI-04
Scenario IDs: I1-UI-04 authentication integration follow-up
Test class/method: com.lab.labtimesheet.feature.account.controller.AuthenticationWebIntegrationTest.projectLoginPageSupportsFailureNormalizedSuccessAndLogout
Implementation commit: c4656a88806a92cb59b2e588035a4124854feb92

Protected behavior

Successful database authentication retains the established / success target, and an authenticated GET / immediately redirects to the shared role-dashboard route /dashboard instead of rendering a standalone dead-end page. Login failure, normalized-email authentication, CSRF, and logout remain covered by the same production-shaped flow.

Test method

MockMvc logs in through the production Spring Security filter chain using a case-and-whitespace variant of the bootstrapped Admin email. It reuses the resulting authenticated session for GET / and asserts the redirect target. The same test continues through the production logout handler. PostgreSQL 18.4 backs the account and session authentication setup.

Hand-derived expected result

The successful form login redirects to /. Following that landing URL with the authenticated session returns a 3xx response whose location is /dashboard; it does not resolve home.html. Logout still redirects to /login?logout and clears authentication.

Observed result

Authenticated GET / invoked HomeController#home and rendered view "home".
Response status was 200; expected a 3xx redirect to /dashboard.

External-test boundaries

The /dashboard endpoint and its role-specific content remain owned and tested by Reporting. This test proves only the authenticated platform handoff to that route. It is not a real-browser/accessibility test and does not change dashboard styling, authorization, account activation, or email delivery.
