End-to-End Testing

Simulate real user interactions and verify web application behavior using Python code execution. Covers navigation, form interaction, content assertions, and multi-page flows.

All code runs via openbrowser-ai -c. The daemon starts automatically and persists variables across calls. All browser functions are async -- use await.

Setup

Before running, verify openbrowser-ai is installed:

openbrowser-ai --help

If not found, install:

# macOS/Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.ps1 | iex

Workflow

Step 1 -- Navigate and verify page load

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await navigate("https://staging.example.com")
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()

assert "example" in state.url.lower(), f"Unexpected URL: {state.url}"
assert state.title, "Page title is empty"
print(f"Page loaded: {state.title} ({state.url})")
EOF

Step 2 -- Content assertions

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Check for expected text using JS
has_welcome = await evaluate("""
(function(){ return !!document.body.textContent.match(/Welcome to Example App/i) })()
""")
assert has_welcome, "Welcome message not found"

# Check specific element content
h1_text = await evaluate("document.querySelector('h1')?.textContent?.trim()")
assert h1_text == "Example App", f'Expected "Example App", got "{h1_text}"'

# Check no error messages
error_count = await evaluate("document.querySelectorAll('.error-message').length")
assert error_count == 0, f"Found {error_count} error messages on page"

print("All content assertions passed")
EOF

Step 3 -- Test user interactions (login flow)

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Get form fields
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
for idx, el in state.dom_state.selector_map.items():
    if el.attributes.get("type") in ("email", "text", "password") or el.tag_name == "button":
        etype = el.attributes.get("type", "")
        placeholder = el.attributes.get("placeholder", "")
        print(f"[{idx}] <{el.tag_name}> type={etype} placeholder=\"{placeholder}\"")

# Fill and submit
await input_text(index=3, text="test@example.com")
await input_text(index=4, text="test-password")
await click(index=5)  # Login button
await wait(2)

# Assert logged in
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
assert "dashboard" in state.url.lower() or "welcome" in state.title.lower(), \
    f"Login may have failed. URL: {state.url}, Title: {state.title}"
print("Login test passed")
EOF

Step 4 -- Test navigation flows

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Click settings link
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
for idx, el in state.dom_state.selector_map.items():
    if "settings" in el.get_all_children_text(max_depth=1).lower():
        await click(index=idx)
        break

await wait(1)

# Assert URL changed
path = await evaluate("window.location.pathname")
assert "/settings" in path, f"Expected /settings path, got {path}"

# Test back button
await go_back()
await wait(1)
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
print(f"After back: {state.url}")
EOF

Step 5 -- Test error handling

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Submit form with invalid data
await input_text(index=3, text="not-an-email")
await click(index=5)
await wait(1)

# Assert validation errors appear
errors = await evaluate("""
(function(){
  const errs = document.querySelectorAll(".error, .invalid-feedback, [aria-invalid=\"true\"]");
  return Array.from(errs).map(e => e.textContent.trim());
})()
""")
assert len(errors) > 0, "Expected validation errors but found none"
print(f"Validation errors shown: {errors}")

# Assert page did not navigate
path = await evaluate("window.location.pathname")
print(f"Still on: {path}")
EOF

Step 6 -- Test responsive behavior

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
viewport = await evaluate("""
(function(){
  return {
    width: window.innerWidth,
    height: window.innerHeight
  }
})()
""")
vw = viewport["width"]
vh = viewport["height"]
print(f"Viewport: {vw}x{vh}")

# Check mobile menu visibility
mobile_display = await evaluate("""
(function(){
  const el = document.querySelector(".mobile-menu");
  return el ? window.getComputedStyle(el).display : "not found";
})()
""")
print(f"Mobile menu display: {mobile_display}")
EOF

Step 7 -- Test multi-page flows

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
test_results = []

# Cart page
await navigate("https://staging.example.com/cart")
await wait(1)
cart_title = await evaluate("document.querySelector('h1')?.textContent?.trim()")
test_results.append({"test": "cart_page_loads", "passed": cart_title is not None, "detail": cart_title})

# Checkout
cart_count = await evaluate("JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('cart'))?.items?.length || 0")
test_results.append({"test": "cart_has_items", "passed": cart_count > 0, "detail": f"{cart_count} items"})

# Print results
import json
passed = sum(1 for t in test_results if t["passed"])
total = len(test_results)
print(f"\nResults: {passed}/{total} passed")
print(json.dumps(test_results, indent=2))
EOF

Tips

• Code is piped via stdin using heredoc (-c - <<'EOF'), so all Python syntax works without shell escaping issues.
• Use Python assert statements for test assertions -- they produce clear error messages on failure.
• Always verify page state after each interaction before proceeding.
• Test both happy paths and error paths for thorough coverage.
• Use await wait(N) after interactions that trigger page loads or animations.
• Variables persist between -c calls while the daemon is running, so you can accumulate test results across calls.
• Use evaluate() for DOM state assertions and browser.get_browser_state_summary() for page metadata.
