m105 44f979820f Add Twitter and LinkedIn publishers with Playwright sidecars
- Create twitter-post sidecar with Playwright for browser automation
- Create linkedin-post sidecar with Playwright for browser automation
- Add TwitterPublisher class that calls twitter-post sidecar
- Add LinkedInPublisher class that calls linkedin-post sidecar
- Register both publishers in PublisherManager via AppServiceProvider
- Update Posts index view to show Publish button for twitter/linkedin types

Both publishers use the same pattern as RedditPublisher:
- No API keys required (uses stored credentials from Social Accounts)
- Browser automation via Playwright
- Returns JSON result with success/failure and URL

Twitter/X Post Sidecar

A Playwright acceptance test that logs into Twitter/X with supplied credentials and creates a post.

One-time setup

cd sidecars/twitter-post
npm install
npx playwright install chromium

Usage

./run.sh --username=YOUR_USERNAME --password=YOUR_PASSWORD \
  --tweet="Your tweet text here" [--headed]

Prints a single JSON line to stdout and exits 0 on success, exits 1 on failure:

{"success": true, "url": "https://twitter.com/username/status/..."}
{"success": false, "error": "Login failed: Invalid credentials"}

Notes

  • On a failed run, Playwright retains a screenshot and trace under test-results/ for debugging. These are gitignored and not committed, but they persist on disk.
  • Twitter's UI changes frequently. If posting fails, check the selectors in tests/twitter-post.spec.js and update them using: npx playwright codegen https://twitter.com/i/flow/login
  • Twitter may show CAPTCHAs or 2FA prompts which will cause the automation to fail.
