What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the smoke testing of web games, ensuring they run without errors in a real browser environment, catching issues that might not be detected in simulated tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

Browser-based Testing: Tests web games in a headless browser to catch console errors, uncaught exceptions, and crashes.
Input Simulation: Simulates user input to verify game functionality under various conditions.
Use Case: After implementing or changing a web game, use this Skill to ensure it runs smoothly in a real browser, catching any issues that might cause crashes or errors.

Quick Start

Run the smoke test on your game by executing the following command in your project directory: node scripts/smoke-test.mjs path/to/index.html

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate smoke testing for web games to detect console errors?▼

Automate web game smoke testing by loading the game in a headless browser, idling, and sending input bursts to detect console errors, uncaught exceptions, or crashes. This verifies runtime health in a real browser environment.

Can I use Playwright to check my web game for uncaught exceptions?▼

Yes, you can use Playwright with Chromium to check web games for uncaught exceptions. The Skill loads your game in a headless browser and simulates input to catch runtime errors that simulated tests might miss.

What do I need to run automated browser testing on a web game?▼

You need Node 18+ and Playwright with Chromium installed to run automated browser testing on a web game. These prerequisites allow the script to load HTML files and simulate user input in a headless environment.

How do I run a smoke test on my web game using Node.js?▼

Run the smoke test by executing `node scripts/smoke-test.mjs path/to/index.html` in your project directory. This loads your game in a headless browser to monitor for crashes and errors during input simulation.

Does automated smoke testing evaluate web game gameplay quality?▼

No, automated smoke testing does not evaluate gameplay quality. It checks runtime health by loading the game in a headless browser and simulating input to detect console errors, uncaught exceptions, or crashes only.

Why does my web game crash in a headless browser but not in automated tests?▼

Simulated tests often miss runtime issues that occur in a real browser environment. Running web game smoke tests in a headless browser with simulated input bursts catches console errors and uncaught exceptions that simulated tests miss.
