Testing

Testing

This skill helps you create and run tests for terminal user interface (TUI) applications.

When to use this skill

Use this skill:

• After making ANY code changes to verify they work correctly
• When modifying UI elements, menus, or display logic
• When changing application behavior or adding features
• To ensure existing functionality as specified in main.md and README.md is not broken

Starting the application

• Run scripts/run --test where the user would normally run github-brain
  • scripts/run --test pull equivalently runs github-brain pull
  • scripts/run --test mcp equivalently runs github-brain mcp
  • The --test flag runs go vet before building to catch issues early
• Ensure .env files is configured to use the github-brain-test organization
• Use GitHub MCP to add new issue/PRs/discussions as needed for testing
• Simulate user input: Send key presses, control combinations, or specific commands to the running application.
• Capture and analyze screen output: The testing tool captures the terminal display (or buffer) at specific moments in time.
• Make assertions: Verify that the screen content matches the expected output (e.g., checking if specific text is present at certain coordinates or if the cursor position is correct).
