SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of testing complex desktop and Compose Multiplatform UI interactions that require non-touch inputs like right-clicks, keyboard shortcuts, and hover states.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Advanced Input Simulation: Perform mouse actions like right-click, drag-and-drop, and smooth scrolling, or keyboard actions like modifier-key shortcuts.
  • Multi-modal Gestures: Combine touch, mouse, and keyboard inputs into a single batched gesture for complex UI scenarios.
  • Use Case: Use this skill to verify that a custom tooltip appears on hover, or to ensure that a Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut correctly triggers a save operation in your application.

Quick Start

Use the injecting-mouse-and-keyboard skill to simulate a right-click on the submit button and then press the Ctrl+S key combination to trigger the save action.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I simulate mouse hover and right-click events in Jetpack Compose UI tests?▼

To simulate mouse hover and right-click events in Jetpack Compose UI tests, you inject complex mouse input events within testing environments to validate desktop UI components requiring non-touch interactions.

Can I test keyboard shortcut sequences like Ctrl+S in Compose Multiplatform?▼

Yes, you can test keyboard shortcut sequences like Ctrl+S in Compose Multiplatform by simulating keyboard actions, including modifier-key shortcuts, to verify that specific key combinations correctly trigger application operations.

Do I need androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4 to inject multi-modal gestures?▼

Yes, you need the androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4 library to inject multi-modal gestures, as it provides the input injection scopes and manages event-time synchronization required for batching touch, mouse, and keyboard inputs.

What is the best way to batch touch, mouse, and keyboard inputs for complex UI scenarios?▼

The best way to batch touch, mouse, and keyboard inputs for complex UI scenarios is combining them into a single batched gesture, allowing you to validate multi-modal interactions within Compose Multiplatform testing environments.

How does input injection handle event-time synchronization during drag-and-drop testing?▼

Input injection handles event-time synchronization during drag-and-drop testing by utilizing the androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4 library to manage event-time synchronization and execute input injection scopes accurately.
