Test All

Test All — Parallel Orchestrator

Runs all 9 IWSDK test suites simultaneously. The orchestrator handles the full lifecycle: build, example prep, dev servers, sub-agent launch, polling, retries, cleanup, and aggregate reporting.

Each test gets its own example directory and dev server. Sub-agents read the skill files and execute tests through the direct npx iwsdk flow described in each skill.

Test Map

Ports are not pre-assigned. Each dev server picks its own port dynamically. The orchestrator can discover each active URL from the server logs or npx iwsdk dev status, but the sub-agent skills no longer need the port explicitly.

Phase 1: Prerequisites & Build

node -v

pnpm -v

Verify node >= 20.19.0 and pnpm is available. Stop on failure.

pnpm install

cd packages/vite-plugin-dev && npx playwright install chromium && cd ../..

pnpm build:tgz

All must succeed. Stop on failure. Note: npx playwright must run from packages/vite-plugin-dev where playwright is a dependency.

Phase 2: Prepare Examples

Clone poke for tests that share it

5 tests use the poke example. Clone it into separate directories so each gets its own dev server:

node scripts/test-prep.mjs clone

Fresh install all 9 examples in parallel

node scripts/test-prep.mjs install

Phase 3: Start 9 Dev Servers

Start all dev servers, wait for them to be ready, and discover their active URLs. This single command handles everything — starting servers, polling for readiness, and outputting the current port map:

node scripts/test-servers.mjs start

The output is JSON with the current port map: {"poke": 8084, "poke-ecs": 8082, ...}. Keep it for diagnostics, but the sub-agents should rely on the direct CLI flow inside each example directory rather than passing ports around.

If any server fails to start within 60 seconds, the script reports which ones are missing and exits with code 1. Check /tmp/iwsdk-dev-<name>.log for errors.

To re-check ports later without restarting:

node scripts/test-servers.mjs ports

Phase 4: Launch 9 Sub-Agents

For each test, launch a Task sub-agent with subagent_type: "Bash", mode: "bypassPermissions", and run_in_background: true.

Sub-agent prompt template

Each sub-agent gets this prompt (with <SKILL_FILE>, <EXAMPLE_DIR>, and <ROOT> substituted):

Read the file at <ROOT>/.claude/skills/<SKILL_FILE> and execute the test instructions
starting from Step 3 (Verify Connectivity). Steps 1 and 2 have already been completed —
the dev server for <EXAMPLE_DIR> is already running.

Execute all test suites (Steps 3-4), then do Step 5 (cleanup and results summary).
Do NOT kill the dev server in cleanup — the parent agent will handle that.

Launch all 9 agents

Launch all 9 Task agents in a single message with multiple Task tool calls. This starts them concurrently.

Save each agent's task_id and output_file from the tool result. Track them:

agents = {
  "test-interactions": { task_id: "...", output_file: "...", example_dir: "examples/poke", status: "running" },
  "test-ecs-core":     { task_id: "...", output_file: "...", example_dir: "examples/poke-ecs", status: "running" },
  ...
}

Phase 5: Wait for Agents to Complete

After launching all 9 agents, simply wait. The system automatically delivers a completion notification when each agent finishes. Do NOT poll, do NOT run bash commands to check output files. Just wait for the notifications.

As each agent completes, note its result (PASS/FAIL and suite counts) from the notification. When all 9 have reported, proceed to Phase 7.

Hard timeout: 20 minutes total from Phase 4 start. If any agent hasn't completed by then, use Read on its output_file to check what happened, then mark it as TIMEOUT and proceed to Phase 7.

Phase 6: Retry Failed Agents

If any agent fails due to a transient error (not a test assertion failure):

1. Use Task(resume: <task_id>) to continue the agent with its full context
2. Wait for its completion notification
3. If it fails again, mark it FAIL and move on

Retry limits

• Max 1 retry per agent
• Only retry transient failures (connection refused, timeout) — not test assertion failures

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use improvised bash commands (kill, lsof, etc.) for retries. Use node scripts/test-servers.mjs stop and node scripts/test-servers.mjs start if a server needs restarting. All bash commands in this skill must be one of the pre-approved node scripts/... commands or the Phase 1 build commands.

Phase 7: Results & Cleanup

Kill all dev servers

node scripts/test-servers.mjs stop

Delete poke clones

node scripts/test-prep.mjs cleanup

Aggregate Results

Collect each agent's summary table from its output file. Print a grand summary:

========================================
  IWSDK Test Suite — Full Results
========================================

| Test              | Suites | Result  |
|-------------------|--------|---------|
| test-interactions | 12/12  | PASS    |
| test-ecs-core     |  8/8   | PASS    |
| test-environment  |  6/6   | PASS    |
| test-level        |  5/5   | PASS    |
| test-ui           |  5/6   | PASS    |
| test-audio        |  6/6   | PASS    |
| test-grab         |  5/5   | PASS    |
| test-locomotion   |  6/6   | PASS    |
| test-physics      |  5/5   | PASS    |
|-------------------|--------|---------|
| TOTAL             | 58/59  | 9/9 PASS|

========================================

If any test failed, include the failure details from that agent's output.

Key Design Decisions

Orchestrator manages dev servers, sub-agents run tests

Sub-agents (Task tool) cannot run background processes. The orchestrator starts all 9 dev servers, records their dynamically-assigned ports for diagnostics, then launches sub-agents that only execute the test steps. Each sub-agent reads its skill file and starts from Step 3 (Verify Connectivity).

Runtime-first server discovery for diagnostics

Ports are NOT pre-assigned. Each dev server is started with npm run dev and Vite picks an available port automatically. The orchestrator may still collect the resulting port map for diagnostics, but that data is only for the parent agent's visibility. Sub-agents should treat the running example directory as the source of truth and use the direct npx iwsdk flow from inside that directory.

Sub-agents read skill files directly

Each sub-agent reads its SKILL.md at runtime. No extraction or text munging needed — the sub-agent is told to skip Steps 1-2 (already done) and start from Step 3. Do NOT pass ports in the prompt.

TaskOutput vs file-based polling

Background Task agents write output to a file. Use Read tool on the output_file to check progress. This is more reliable than parsing process stdout.

Boolean values must be JSON booleans

When setting boolean fields via ecs_set_component, the value must be a JSON boolean (true), not a string ("true"). Strings silently fail to coerce.

Troubleshooting

Agent finishes but no summary table

The sub-agent may have hit its turn limit. Check the end of its output for truncation. Relaunch with the same prompt.

Port already in use

Run node scripts/test-servers.mjs stop to clear the managed dev servers before relaunching.

fresh:install fails

Check that pnpm build:tgz succeeded and the tarballs exist in the package directories.

All agents stuck at "Verify Connectivity"

The dev servers may not have started. Check /tmp/iwsdk-dev-*.log for errors.

Clone directory already exists

The rsync command will overwrite existing files. If you need a clean slate, delete the clone directories first.

Sub-agent can't start dev server

This is expected — sub-agents cannot run background processes. The orchestrator must start all dev servers before launching sub-agents.
