Test Metrics
Coverage Summary: Total methods 30, Implemented 30 (100%), Tested via TCP 22/30 (73%), Not yet tested 8/30 (27%) mostly write operations and advanced selection modes
Not Yet Tested Methods
- page.put_document_json - write operations require care
- selection.native_select_word_by_text - requires proper word detection
- selection.native_select_line_by_text - requires line parsing
- selection.write_text - modifies persistent document
- selection.set_and_capture - combines selection plus screenshot
- ui.quit - terminates browser session
Transport Verification
The test suite verifies the API through TCP socket transport (port 8711). All methods are available through all three transport modes: TCP (fully tested via test_api_comprehensive.py), UDP (available but requires separate test harness), Unix domain sockets (available but requires separate test harness)
Running the Test Suite
# Terminal 1: Start notes_browser with TCP control
cd ~/py/envoy/notes-browser
python3 notes_browser.py --url http://127.0.0.1:8021 --control-tcp-enabled
# Terminal 2: Run API tests
cd ~/py/envoy
python3 test_api_comprehensive.py
