What Happens

The script will:

1. ✅ Check you have Python & pytest
2. ✅ Start the dev server (if needed)
3. ✅ Run Phase 1: Load all 51 components
4. ✅ Run Phase 2: Test component interactions
5. ✅ Run Phase 3: Test 79+ API endpoints
6. ✅ Generate HTML reports

View Results

After tests finish:

open .dss/test-logs/phase1-report.html
open .dss/test-logs/phase2-report.html
open .dss/test-logs/phase3-report.html

Or view raw logs:

tail .dss/test-logs/phase1-smoke-test.log

Setup (One-Time, 2 Minutes)

If tests fail because of missing tools:

# Install Python tools
pip3 install pytest pytest-playwright pytest-asyncio httpx

# Install browsers
python3 -m playwright install

That's it!

Common Commands

# Run everything
.dss/run_all_tests.sh

# Run just Phase 1 (component loading)
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -v

# Run just Phase 2 (component interactions)
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py -v

# Run just Phase 3 (API endpoints)
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py -v

# Test one component
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -k ds-shell -v

# Test one category
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestAdminCategory -v

# Run 3x faster (parallel)
pytest .dss/test_*.py -n auto -v

# Debug mode (stop on error)
pytest .dss/test_*.py -x -v
