# Socials Test Suite

Run comprehensive tests on all Socials tools to verify the extension and MCP server are working correctly.

## Mode Selection

**IMPORTANT: Before running any tests, ask the user which mode they want:**

```
Which test mode would you like to run?

1. **Dry Run** (safe) - Tests read-only tools only. Will NOT post, reply, or engage.
2. **Full Test** (destructive) - Tests ALL tools including posting and engagement.
   WARNING: This will create real posts, replies, likes, and connection requests!

Enter 1 or 2:
```

Wait for user response before proceeding. Default to Dry Run if unclear.

## Test Guidelines

1. **Always ask mode first**: Never run destructive tests without explicit confirmation

2. **Handle failures gracefully**: If a test fails, log it and continue with other tests

3. **Wait for page loads**: After navigation, wait 2-3 seconds before testing feed/content tools

4. **Clean up reminders**: In Full Mode, always remind user what to clean up at the end

5. **Report issues clearly**: If something fails, explain what the user might need to fix

6. **Timestamps**: Add timestamps to test posts/replies so they're identifiable

7. **Newline testing**: When testing posts with \n characters, verify the output has actual line breaks

8. **Video uploads**: Large video uploads may take 1-2 minutes; the extension waits for 100% progress

9. **Modal targeting**: Posts/replies correctly target the modal compose box (not timeline composer)

10. **X Advanced Search**: Test all modes (top/latest/people/photos/videos) and operators:
    - User: from, to, retweets_of
    - Time: since/until (YYYY-MM-DD), since_time/until_time (Unix)
    - Engagement: min_faves, min_retweets, min_replies
    - Content: filter (media/images/video/links), has[], is_reply, is_retweet
    - Location: lang, near, place, place_country
    - Advanced: list, conversation_id

---

## Optional Parameters

The user may specify:
- `--dry-run` or `--safe` to skip mode selection and run non-destructive only
- `--full` to skip mode selection and run all tests (still confirms before destructive)
- `--platform x`, `--platform linkedin`, or `--platform reddit` to test only one platform
- `--skip-browser` to skip browser control tests (if tab is already set up)
- `--verbose` for detailed output of each tool response
