# Maintenance Mode - Testing Guide

## ✅ **Fixed Implementation**

### **What Was Wrong:**
The original implementation had a critical flaw - it checked `request.user` which doesn't exist until AFTER the JWT guard runs. This meant:
- Admins would also be blocked
- The guard couldn't distinguish between admin and regular users

### **What Was Fixed:**
- MaintenanceGuard now manually verifies JWT tokens using `JwtService`
- Extracts user role from token payload
- Allows admins through, blocks everyone else
- Works independently of the JWT guard

## **🧪 How to Test Maintenance Mode**

### **Prerequisites:**
1. Have at least 2 user accounts:
   - One admin account (role: 'admin')
   - One regular user account (role: 'user')
2. Both API and Web servers running

---

### **Test Scenario 1: Enable Maintenance Mode**

#### **Step 1: Login as Admin**
```
1. Go to http://localhost:5174/auth/login
2. Login with admin credentials
3. Navigate to http://localhost:5174/admin/settings
```

#### **Step 2: Enable Maintenance**
```
1. Find "Maintenance Mode" section
2. Toggle the switch to ON
3. Optionally change the message to: "We're upgrading! Back in 10 minutes."
4. Click "Save Settings"
5. You should see success toast
```

#### **Step 3: Verify Admin Still Has Access**
```
1. Stay logged in as admin
2. Navigate to different admin pages:
   - /admin (Dashboard)
   - /admin/users
   - /admin/plans
3. All should work normally ✅
4. Try accessing main app: http://localhost:5174/
5. Admin should see maintenance page ❌ (this is expected - only admin panel works)
```

---

### **Test Scenario 2: Regular User Experience**

#### **Step 1: Open Incognito/Private Window**
```
1. Open new incognito window
2. Go to http://localhost:5174
```

#### **Step 2: Try to Access Without Login**
```
1. You'll be redirected to login page
2. Try to login with regular user credentials
3. After successful login, you should see MAINTENANCE PAGE ✅
4. The page should display your custom message
```

#### **Step 3: Verify User is Blocked**
```
1. Try to navigate to any route:
   - /
   - /wallets
   - /transactions
2. All should show maintenance page ✅
3. Click "Refresh Page" button
4. Should still show maintenance (because it's still ON)
```

---

### **Test Scenario 3: Disable Maintenance Mode**

#### **Step 1: As Admin, Disable Maintenance**
```
1. Go back to admin window (still logged in)
2. Navigate to /admin/settings
3. Toggle "Maintenance Mode" to OFF
4. Click "Save Settings"
```

#### **Step 2: Verify User Can Access Again**
```
1. Go to incognito window (with regular user)
2. Click "Refresh Page" button
3. User should now see the normal app ✅
4. Try navigating to different pages - all should work
```

## **📊 Expected Behavior Matrix**

| User Type | Maintenance OFF | Maintenance ON |
|-----------|----------------|----------------|
| **Not Logged In** | Can login | Can login, then see maintenance page |
| **Regular User** | Full access | Maintenance page on all routes |
| **Admin User** | Full access | Admin panel works, main app shows maintenance |

---

## **🔍 How to Verify It's Working**

### **Check 1: API Returns 503**
Open browser DevTools (F12) → Network tab:
```
1. With maintenance ON, as regular user
2. Try to access any protected route
3. Look for API calls
4. Should see 503 status code
5. Response body should have:
   {
     "statusCode": 503,
     "message": "Your custom message",
     "maintenanceMode": true
   }
```

### **Check 2: Admin Bypasses Maintenance**
```
1. With maintenance ON, as admin
2. Open DevTools → Network tab
3. Navigate to /admin/users
4. API calls should return 200 OK (not 503)
5. Admin panel should work normally
```

### **Check 3: Database Config**
Check the database directly:
```sql
SELECT * FROM "Config" WHERE key = 'maintenance_mode';
-- Should show: value = 'true' when ON, 'false' when OFF

SELECT * FROM "Config" WHERE key = 'maintenance_message';
-- Should show your custom message
```

## **🐛 Troubleshooting**

### **Problem: Admin Also Sees Maintenance Page**
**Cause:** JWT token might be invalid or expired
**Solution:**
1. Logout and login again as admin
2. Check browser console for errors
3. Verify JWT_SECRET in .env matches between sessions

### **Problem: Regular User Can Still Access**
**Cause:** Maintenance mode not actually enabled in DB
**Solution:**
1. Check database: `SELECT * FROM "Config" WHERE key = 'maintenance_mode'`
2. If value is not 'true', manually update:
   ```sql
   UPDATE "Config" SET value = 'true' WHERE key = 'maintenance_mode';
   ```
3. Or toggle it again in Admin Settings

### **Problem: Maintenance Page Never Shows**
**Cause:** Axios interceptor not set up properly
**Solution:**
1. Check browser console for errors
2. Verify App.tsx has `setupAxiosInterceptors` call
3. Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)

### **Problem: Auth Routes Also Blocked**
**Cause:** @SkipMaintenance decorator missing
**Solution:**
1. Verify auth.controller.ts has @SkipMaintenance on login/register
2. Restart API server

## **🎯 Quick Test Checklist**

- [ ] Admin can enable maintenance mode
- [ ] Admin can customize maintenance message
- [ ] Admin can still access admin panel when maintenance is ON
- [ ] Regular user sees maintenance page when maintenance is ON
- [ ] Maintenance page displays custom message
- [ ] Refresh button works on maintenance page
- [ ] Admin can disable maintenance mode
- [ ] Regular user can access app after maintenance is OFF
- [ ] Login/register still work during maintenance
- [ ] Health check endpoints still work during maintenance

## **📝 Notes**

### **Routes That Always Work (Even During Maintenance):**
- `/health` - Health check
- `/health/db` - Database check
- `/auth/login` - Login
- `/auth/register` - Register
- `/auth/verify-otp` - OTP verification
- `/auth/google` - Google OAuth
- `/admin/*` - All admin routes (for admins only)

### **Routes That Get Blocked:**
- `/` - Main dashboard
- `/wallets` - Wallets page
- `/transactions` - Transactions page
- `/api/users/me` - User profile
- `/api/wallets` - Wallet API
- `/api/transactions` - Transaction API
- Any other non-admin, non-auth route

### **How Admins Are Identified:**
1. MaintenanceGuard extracts JWT token from `Authorization` header
2. Verifies token using JwtService
3. Checks if `payload.role === 'admin'`
4. If true, allows access
5. If false or no token, blocks with 503

## **🚀 Production Deployment Notes**

### **Before Enabling Maintenance:**
1. Notify users via email/notification
2. Set a clear maintenance message with expected duration
3. Schedule during low-traffic hours
4. Have rollback plan ready

### **During Maintenance:**
1. Monitor admin panel access
2. Check logs for any issues
3. Test critical features before re-enabling

### **After Maintenance:**
1. Disable maintenance mode
2. Monitor for any issues
3. Verify all features work
4. Notify users that system is back online
