Bugs Discovered

🔴 P0 Blocker: BUG-PHASE7-001

Title: Public events page returns 404 error due to duplicate "public" in API path

Impact: Unauthenticated users cannot view public events. This completely breaks the guest portal entry point.

Details:

• URL tested: https://stg-app.membervu.com/rcme/public/events
• Error: "404 - Organization Not Found"
• API call: GET /api/public/public/events (duplicate "public")
• Should be: GET /api/public/events

Root Cause: Frontend is constructing API URL incorrectly, likely due to misconfigured base URL or route handling.

Evidence:

• Screenshot: phase7-bug-public-events-404.png
• Network log: phase7-network-public-events.txt
• Bug report: BUG-PHASE7-001.md

🔴 P0 Blocker: BUG-PHASE7-002

Title: Guest membership application submission fails with 401 Unauthorized error

Impact: Guests cannot apply for membership. This breaks the entire guest-to-member conversion workflow and prevents member acquisition.

Details:

• Endpoint: POST /api/membership/apply
• Error: 401 Unauthorized
• Result: User is logged out with "Your session expired" message
• Application is not submitted

Root Cause Hypothesis: The /api/membership/apply endpoint may require incorrect permissions (e.g., MEMBER instead of GUEST), or the endpoint doesn't exist/isn't properly registered.

Evidence:

• Screenshot: phase7-bug-session-expired.png
• Console errors: phase7-console-errors.txt
• Bug report: BUG-PHASE7-002.md

🟡 P2 Major: BUG-PHASE7-004

Title: Membership application form missing "Membership Type" selection field

Impact: Guests cannot select their desired membership tier (Regular, Associate, Student). This means:

• No pricing transparency during application
• Admin cannot generate correct dues invoice automatically
• Manual intervention required for every application

Details:

• Expected: Dropdown with "Regular (PHP 15,000)", "Associate (PHP 10,000)", "Student (PHP 5,000)"
• Actual: Field is completely absent from form
• Workaround: Admin can manually set membership type after approval

Evidence:

• Screenshot: phase7-membership-application-form.png
• Bug report: BUG-PHASE7-004.md

🟢 P3 Minor: BUG-PHASE7-003

Title: Membership application form displays "undefined" instead of organization name

Impact: Poor user experience and unprofessional appearance. No functional impact.

Details:

• Text shows: "Complete your application to join undefined"
• Should show: "Complete your application to join Rotary Club of Manila Expats"

Root Cause Hypothesis: React component is trying to access undefined organization/tenant name property.

Evidence:

• Screenshot: phase7-membership-application-form.png
• Bug report: BUG-PHASE7-003.md

Test Scenarios - Detailed Results

✅ Passed Scenarios

Guest Login and Dashboard (TC_GUEST_001, Scenario 5-6)

Test Steps:

1. Navigate to login page
2. Click "Guest" quick login button
3. Verify dashboard loads with guest view

Results:

• ✅ Guest login successful using quick login
• ✅ Dashboard shows "Welcome, Roberto!"
• ✅ "Guest View" indicator displayed
• ✅ Limited navigation visible: Home, Events, My Invoices, Support, My Account
• ✅ No admin features visible
• ✅ "Become a Member" section prominently displayed
• ✅ "Apply for Membership" button present

Evidence: Screenshot phase7-guest-dashboard.png

Members-Only Events Hidden from Guest (TC_GUEST_001, Scenario 7)

Test Steps:

1. Login as guest, navigate to events page
2. Count visible events
3. Login as member, navigate to events page
4. Count visible events and compare

Results:

• ✅ Guest sees 15 open events available to register
• ✅ Member sees more events than guest (exact count not captured)
• ✅ Members-only events are correctly hidden from guest view
• ✅ Event filtering by role works correctly

Note: Unable to get exact member event count due to time constraints, but member view showed additional events.

Guest Cannot Access Member-Only URLs (TC_GUEST_001, Scenario 9)

Test Steps:

While logged in as guest, attempt to navigate to:

• /members
• /admin
• /admin/dashboard
• /admin/members
• /settings

Results:

• ✅ /members → Redirected to /home
• ✅ /admin → Redirected to /home
• ✅ All member-only URLs correctly redirect guest to home page
• ✅ No access to restricted features
• ✅ No error pages or blank screens (graceful handling)

Verdict: RBAC correctly prevents guest access to member-only content.

"Become a Member" Option Visible (TC_GUEST_002, Scenario 1)

Test Steps:

1. Login as guest
2. Look for membership application option

Results:

• ✅ "Become a Member" section displayed on guest dashboard
• ✅ Section includes descriptive text about membership benefits
• ✅ "Apply for Membership" button present and clickable
• ✅ Button navigates to /apply page
• ✅ Membership application form loads

Evidence: Screenshot phase7-guest-dashboard.png

❌ Failed Scenarios

Public Event Catalog - All URLs Fail (TC_GUEST_001, Scenario 1)

Test Steps:

Test unauthenticated access to public events via:

1. https://stg-app.membervu.com/rcme/events
2. https://stg-app.membervu.com/rcme/public/events
3. https://stg-app.membervu.com/rcme/public-events

Results:

• ❌ /events → Redirects to login page (requires authentication)
• ❌ /public/events → Shows 404 error page
• ❌ /public-events → Redirects to login page

Expected: At least one URL should display public events without authentication.

Actual: No public access to events is possible.

Bug: BUG-PHASE7-001 - API path contains duplicate /api/public/public/events

Impact: Guest portal entry point is completely broken. Unauthenticated visitors cannot browse events.

Guest Application Submission Fails (TC_GUEST_002, Scenario 2)

Test Steps:

1. Login as guest
2. Click "Apply for Membership"
3. Fill out application form:

• Short Bio: Professional background text
• Why join: Community service motivation

1. Click "Submit Application"

Results:

• ❌ API call to /api/membership/apply returns 401 Unauthorized
• ❌ User is immediately logged out
• ❌ Redirected to login page with "Your session expired" message
• ❌ Application is NOT submitted
• ❌ No success message
• ❌ No notification emails sent

Expected: Application should submit successfully, user should remain logged in, success message should appear.

Bug: BUG-PHASE7-002

Impact: Entire guest-to-member conversion workflow is broken. No path for guest accounts to become members.
