Pier-Jean Malandrino cfc5bb5c35 feat: add E2E API tests with Karate V2
Set up a full E2E test suite (39 scenarios) using Karate against
the real API stack. Hybrid architecture: domain-based features +
cross-domain workflows, with data-driven testing and callable helpers.

Structure:
- e2e/pom.xml: Maven + karate-core 1.5
- 3 helpers (upload, analyze+poll, cleanup)
- 3 JSON schemas (health, document, analysis)
- 12 feature files across health, documents, analyses, workflows
- Tags: @smoke (2), @regression (35), @e2e (2)
- generate-test-data.py: fpdf2-based PDF generation (no binaries)

Also adds:
- RATE_LIMIT_RPM env var to make rate limiter configurable (0=disabled)
- CI job e2e with needs: [backend, frontend]
- e2e/ in .dockerignore

Closes #119

E2E API Tests — Karate

End-to-end API tests for Docling Studio using Karate.

Prerequisites

  • JDK 17+ (e.g. brew install openjdk@17)
  • Maven 3.9+ (e.g. brew install maven)
  • Python 3.12+ (for test data generation)
  • Docker (for running the full stack)

Quick start

# 1. Generate test PDFs
python e2e/generate-test-data.py

# 2. Start the stack
docker compose up -d --wait

# 3. Run all tests
mvn test -f e2e/pom.xml

# 4. Tear down
docker compose down

Run by tag

# Smoke only (~30s)
mvn test -f e2e/pom.xml -Dkarate.options="--tags @smoke"

# Regression (~2min)
mvn test -f e2e/pom.xml -Dkarate.options="--tags @regression"

# Full E2E workflows (~5min)
mvn test -f e2e/pom.xml -Dkarate.options="--tags @e2e"

Custom base URL

mvn test -f e2e/pom.xml -DbaseUrl=http://your-host:8000
