Cmux Browser

Use this when testing the dashboard with a web client in interactive sessions. Best for testing frontend tools, verifying UI behavior, checking page loads, validating URL routing, or interacting with the browser. Preferred over playwright-testing for interactive work — the browser opens as a visible split pane and results return inline.

Browser Testing with cmux browser

Test websites and frontend tools using cmux browser.

First Step

Run the help command to discover all available commands:

cmux browser --help

Determining the Target URL

Use the URL appropriate for the current context:

  • Local dev server: Check the project for its dev server port (commonly http://127.0.0.1:8000 or similar)
  • Remote site: Use the URL provided by the user or documented in the project

Key Context

  • cmux browser open <url> returns a surface handle (e.g. surface:14) — use it for all subsequent commands
  • Element refs (e.g. e9, e18) come from snapshot --interactive and change after page mutations — always re-snapshot before interacting
  • When click ref=eNN fails with JS errors, fall back to eval "document.querySelector('...').click()"
  • For large text input, use eval with JS instead of fill/type
