BDD
Feature: Instrumentation for clicking article links in Reading List
Scenario: User clicks an article link from Reading List
Given I am on the Special:ReadingLists page
And I have one or more saved articles
When I click on any article link in my Reading List
Then an instrumentation event is logged with:
| action | click |
| action_subtype | view_article |
| action_source | reading_list |
| action_context | {article_count: <INT>} |Test Steps
Test Case 1: Verify view_article click event
- Log in as a user with saved articles in their Reading List.
- Open Special:ReadingLists.
- Open browser DevTools → Network tab → filter for eventlogging or instrumentation endpoint.
- Click on any article link in the Reading List.
- AC1: A click event is logged with action: click.
- AC2: The event contains action_subtype: view_article and action_source: reading_list.
- AC3: The event includes action_context: {article_count: <INT>} representing the number of saved articles.
- AC4: Only one event fires per click, with no duplicates.
