FAQPage Schema

How do I automate VS Code UI tasks with agent-browser?▼

Automate VS Code UI tasks by launching Code OSS with a remote debugging port and attaching agent-browser for CDP-based control. This enables scripted UI interaction, feature validation, and automated screenshot capture without manual setup.

Can I capture screenshots of the Code OSS UI automatically?▼

Capture screenshots of the Code OSS UI automatically by using agent-browser to snapshot the interface during a CDP automation session. This workflow supports creating reproducible demonstrations and validating UI-regression tests.

Do I need a remote debugging port to launch VS Code for UI testing?▼

A remote debugging port is required to launch VS Code for UI testing. You must start a built Code OSS instance with the port enabled so agent-browser can attach and execute CDP-based automated interactions.

What's the best way to script UI-regression tests for Visual Studio Code?▼

Script UI-regression tests for Visual Studio Code by automating Code OSS with agent-browser over a remote debugging port. This approach allows QA engineers to focus input areas, run scripted interactions, and validate features reproducibly.

Why does agent-browser fail to connect to Code OSS during automation?▼

Agent-browser fails to connect to Code OSS if the remote debugging port is not enabled or the Code OSS instance is not properly built. Ensure the instance is compiled and launched with the correct debugging configuration before attaching.
