SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The automation guide helps developers and QA teams verify the behavior of running zero-native WebView shell apps by providing a structured approach to readiness checks, window/state inspection, and bridge communication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect runtime state and window metadata to ensure the app is ready.
  • Execute smoke tests and CI workflows that validate the automation interface and bridge commands.
  • Use in GUI-capable sessions to validate end-to-end interactions between the app, runtime, and WebView.

Quick Start

Start an automation-enabled app and verify readiness by querying the automation interface and checking the snapshot output.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate smoke tests for a running WebView shell application?

You can automate WebView shell smoke tests by interfacing with the built-in automation system to validate runtime readiness, inspect window metadata, and verify bridge responsiveness through CLI commands.

What is the file-based IPC mechanism used for zero-native WebView runtime verification?

The file-based IPC mechanism for zero-native WebView runtime verification operates under the .zig-cache/zero-native-automation directory, enabling communication for wait, list, snapshot, reload, and bridge CLI commands.

Can I use this automation interface to validate bridge responsiveness in CI workflows?

Yes, the automation interface supports CI workflows by executing bridge commands and snapshot reporting to validate that the running zero-native WebView application and its runtime bridge are fully responsive.

How do I check if a GUI-capable session is ready before executing end-to-end WebView tests?

You can check GUI session readiness by querying the automation interface and evaluating the snapshot output to ensure the app, runtime, and WebView are prepared for end-to-end interaction validation.

Does this automation approach require native dependencies to inspect window metadata?

No, this automation approach operates on a zero-native architecture, allowing you to inspect window metadata and runtime state without requiring native dependencies for the WebView shell application.
