FAQPage Schema
How do I automate terminal UI testing for CLI applications?▼

To automate terminal UI testing, execute CLI commands and simulate user keystrokes to interact with TUI applications. This skill supports sending input, taking screenshots, and verifying UI states to ensure your application behaves as expected.

What is the best way to script interaction with terminal applications?▼

Scripted interaction with terminal applications is achieved by programmatically sending commands and checking responses. This allows developers to create automated workflows, scripted demonstrations, and regression tests without manual input.

Can I take screenshots and verify UI states in TUI testing?▼

Yes, TUI testing supports taking screenshots and verifying UI states during automated sessions. You can execute CLI commands, simulate user input, and validate outputs to confirm the terminal interface renders correctly.

Do I need the agent-tui library to automate CLI commands?▼

Yes, automating CLI commands requires the agent-tui library and associated dependencies. You must install these components to execute commands, simulate user input, and verify outputs in your terminal UI automation workflows.

How do I start a session for automated terminal UI automation?▼

Start terminal UI automation by running the `agent-tui run <command>` command. This initiates a session, captures a session ID for further actions, and allows you to send keystrokes and verify outputs programmatically.

What are the limitations of terminal UI automation for testing?▼

Terminal UI automation is limited to text-based terminal applications and requires the agent-tui library. It may not support graphical user interfaces or environments where terminal emulation and associated libraries are unavailable.
