Autonomous Tauri App Testing on macOS

1. Start the App

Run in tmux so it persists and logs are accessible

tmux new-session -d -s myapp 'bun run tauri dev'

Wait for build (~15s)

sleep 15 2. Check Logs

Read recent output

tmux capture-pane -t myapp -p | tail -30

Search for errors

tmux capture-pane -t myapp -p | grep -i error 3. Take Screenshots

Full screen

screencapture -x screenshot.png

The app window only (if visible)

osascript -e 'tell application "MyApp" to activate' sleep 0.5 screencapture -x screenshot.png 4. Discover UI Elements osascript -e ' tell application "System Events" tell process "MyApp" return entire contents of window 1 end tell end tell ' 2>&1 | tr ',' '\n' This outputs all clickable elements with their full paths. 5. Click Buttons osascript -e ' tell application "System Events" tell process "MyApp" set frontmost to true delay 0.3 click button "Button Name" of group 1 of window 1 end tell end tell ' Adjust the path based on what you find in step 4. 6. Basic Test Loop

1. Do action

osascript -e '... click something ...'

2. Wait for UI

sleep 0.5

3. Screenshot to verify

screencapture -x tmp/after_action.png

4. Check logs

tmux capture-pane -t myapp -p | tail -10 Key Tips

• Always delay 0.3 inside AppleScript before clicking
• Use set frontmost to true to ensure window is active
• Wrap in try/end try for optional elements
• UI paths change when the app updates - rediscover with entire contents
