Can I use this approach to test protected routes in my Next.js app?

Yes, you can use this approach to test protected routes in your Next.js app by writing e2e tests that verify a user can successfully sign up, sign in, and access protected routes through comprehensive auth scenario validation.

Do I need specific setup functions to manage Clerk session state for e2e testing?

Yes, you need specific setup functions like clerkSetup() and setupClerkTestingToken() to properly manage session state and create isolated test environments when running end-to-end tests for Clerk authentication flows.

Does Clerk e2e testing work with both Cypress and Playwright?

Yes, Clerk e2e testing works with both Cypress and Playwright, facilitating the creation of isolated test environments within web applications to validate comprehensive authentication scenarios across either framework.
