SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust strategy for testing Phaser games, overcoming the limitations of DOM-based testing for canvas-rendered content by leveraging window.__TEST__ seam patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reliable Game Testing: Utilize window.__TEST__ for direct interaction and state checking, bypassing unreliable DOM methods.
  • Efficient Discovery: Learn techniques to find and utilize test seams within Phaser game code.
  • Use Case: When testing a Phaser game, you need to verify that a button click correctly transitions the player to the next level. This Skill guides you to use window.__TEST__.commands.clickNextLevel() to achieve this reliably.

Quick Start

Use the phaser-test-seam-patterns skill to check if the test seam is available by evaluating window.__TEST__?.sceneKey || false.

Frequently Asked Questions about phaser-test-seam-patterns

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Phaser games when DOM-based testing fails on canvas elements?▼

To test Phaser games when DOM testing fails, leverage `window.__TEST__` seam patterns for direct interaction and state verification, bypassing unreliable DOM methods for canvas-rendered content.

What are test seams in JavaScript game testing and how do they work?▼

Test seams in JavaScript game testing are exposed `window.__TEST__` hooks allowing direct property access and command execution, enabling reliable state verification when interacting with canvas-rendered game content.

How do I check if a test seam is available before executing commands in a Phaser game?▼

Check test seam availability by evaluating `window.__TEST__?.sceneKey || false` to gracefully degrade and verify seam presence before executing commands in your Phaser game testing environment.

Can I trigger a level transition in Phaser test automation without relying on UI clicks?▼

Yes, you can trigger level transitions in Phaser test automation by executing direct commands like `window.__TEST__.commands.clickNextLevel()`, bypassing unreliable canvas UI interactions.

Does this test seam approach work for verifying game state in JavaScript canvas applications?▼

Yes, the test seam approach works for verifying game state in JavaScript canvas applications by utilizing `window.__TEST__` for direct property access and efficient state checking.
