boot-gate

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the issue of apps failing to boot or render correctly on devices, which can be missed during development. It fills the gap between passing unit tests and ensuring the app's UI actually loads and functions as expected.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Boot Smoke Test: Validates that the app boots without errors and reaches an interactive screen within a specified time frame.
• Visual Walkthrough: Captures screenshots of each screen and checks for flat-color issues, ensuring the UI is not stuck on a blank or single-color screen.
• Build Environment Check: Ensures that required environment variables are set correctly before the build process.
• Error Boundary: Provides a visible fallback UI in case of boot errors, improving user experience and debugging.
• Use Case: Use this Skill before deploying a new app version to ensure that it boots and renders correctly on both web and iOS platforms.

Quick Start

Run the boot smoke test on your app by executing the command: npm run boot-smoke.
