Testing the live banner

Because live streams are a time sensitive event there are a number of test cases that are difficult to test manually. Before merging a PR that makes changes to the live stream banner, live stream widget, or either of the layout.tsx files, you should test the following edge cases locally to ensure that the live banner works correctly.

Hint: Change the start date/end date for an existing event on your local machine to the current date and time to test these features

Note: Because the live stream is fetched at build time you will need to restart your local instance of the website after updating an event to test these cases.

Test cases

1. Does the live stream banner display when there is an upcoming user group?

2. What does the banner look like when there is no upcoming user group?

Hint - If there is a user group coming up at the time of testing, try deleting it locally and running the app

3. Does the live stream banner display at the designated time? Figure: This field determines the time at which the live stream banner displays
