 todo: take a look at front end cypress testing etc again, it's going to be the best way to assure quality going forward and indespensible for smoke / load testing
 	See where it's at, is any of it usable?
 	Even just a single test that logs in, creates a widget using every field, edits it and deletes it would be a good smoke test
+	Ideally:
+		Smoke test runnable, visits every page and CRUD widget
+		Runs against release mode
+			need data-cy in release mode so changes need to be made to main dev and etc, perhaps it's just a default to add cy no if statement
