js-in-html-testing
**js-in-html-testing** provides a two-layer approach for testing JavaScript embedded in HTML files. Layer 1 uses Python unit tests to verify pure computation logic like algorithm correctness via pytest. Layer 2 uses Playwright to automate browser testing of DOM interactions, button states, and user events in real Chromium. Use this when testing viewer components or other HTML files with complex client-side logic that requires both algorithmic verification and visual/interactive validation.

# JS-in-HTML Two-Layer Testing Strategy
For JavaScript logic embedded in HTML files (e.g., diff navigation in viewer.html), use a two-layer testing approach.
## Layer 1: Python Unit Tests (fast algorithm verification)
Replicate core JS algorithms in Python and verify correctness via pytest.
Best for: pure computation logic, state decisions, matching algorithms — anything that doesn't depend on the DOM.
**Example**: `tests/test_diff_matching.py`
```python
# Replicate JS findPrevSameModel / findNextSameModel
def find_diff_parent_by_prefix(entries, idx):
...
def find_next_by_prefix(entries, idx):
...
# Replicate JS updateNavButtons state computation
def compute_nav_button_states(entries, cur_idx):
prev_idx = find_diff_parent_by_prefix(entries, cur_idx)
...
return (prev_enabled, next_enabled)
```
Advantages: fast (0.02s), no browser dependency, integrates with existing pytest setup.
## Layer 2: Playwright Browser Integration Tests (DOM interaction verification)
Generate HTML with test data embedded, open it in real Chromium via Playwright, and verify DOM state and user interactions.
Best for: button disabled states, overlay show/hide, keyboard events, click navigation, etc.
**Example**: `tests/test_nav_browser.py`
### Building test HTML
```python
def _build_test_html():
from claude_tap.viewer import VIEWER_SCRIPT_ANCHOR, _read_viewer_template
template = _read_viewer_template()
records = [json.dumps(e) for e in TEST_ENTRIES]
data_js = "const EMBEDDED_TRACE_DATA = [\n" + ",\n".join(records) + "\n];\n"
# Inject data into template
return template.replace(
VIEWER_SCRIPT_ANCHOR,
f"<script>\n{data_js}</script>\n{VIEWER_SCRIPT_ANCHOR}",
1,
)
```
### Playwright fixture
```python
@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def browser_page(html_file):
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
pw = sync_playwright().start()
browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=True)
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto(f"file://{html_file}")
page.wait_for_selector(".sidebar-item", timeout=5000)
yield page
browser.close()
pw.stop()
```
### Verifying DOM state
```python
def _get_nav_state(page):
return page.evaluate("""() => {
const overlay = document.querySelector('.diff-overlay');
if (!overlay) return { overlayExists: false };
return {
overlayExists: true,
prevDisabled: overlay.querySelector('.diff-nav-prev')?.disabled,
nextDisabled: overlay.querySelector('.diff-nav-next')?.disabled,
title: overlay.querySelector('.diff-title')?.textContent,
};
}""")
```
### Simulating user interaction
```python
# Click buttons
page.click(".diff-nav-next")
# Keyboard navigation
page.keyboard.press("ArrowRight")
# Call internal JS functions
page.evaluate("selectEntry(2)")
page.evaluate("showDiff()")
```
## Notes
- Trace data may contain `</script>` text (e.g., when Claude discusses code), which breaks `<script>` block parsing. Escape it: `line.replace("</script>", '</scr" + "ipt>')`
- Test data must match the viewer's expected JSONL format (including `turn`, `duration_ms`, `request_id`, `request.path`, etc.)
- Playwright requires `uv pip install playwright`
## Running
```bash
# Fast unit tests
uv run pytest tests/test_diff_matching.py -v
# Browser integration tests
uv run pytest tests/test_nav_browser.py -v
# All (excluding slow e2e)
uv run pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_e2e.py -v
```Generate demo assets (GIF/MP4) from real tmux E2E runs and viewer screenshots using asciinema and Playwright
Validate maintainer docs structure, standards freshness, manifest paths, and plan state. Run this after modifying any file under .agents/docs/standards/, .agents/docs/plans/, .agents/docs/architecture/, or AGENTS.md — it catches stale metadata, broken manifest paths, and plan state drift before CI does.
Record browser test videos with Playwright for PR review and bug fix verification
Full pre-PR merge-readiness check. Run this before opening or merging a pull request — it validates local gates (lint, format, tests), CI status, screenshot evidence, and PR metadata in one pass. Also useful for reviewing an existing PR's readiness.
Push to GitHub and optionally bump version to trigger PyPI release
Validate screenshot and viewer HTML quality for PR evidence. Run this after adding or modifying images under .agents/evidence/pr/ or .agents/recordings/, or after generating a new viewer HTML file. Combines image quality checks (resolution, blankness, file size) with Playwright-based viewer rendering verification.
Fill missing i18n translations in the viewer source JSON. Run this after adding or modifying English or Chinese UI strings in claude_tap/viewer_i18n.json — it auto-translates to ja, ko, fr, ar, de, ru via OpenRouter.
