Backend Integration Testing

Prerequisites

Start the backend before testing API calls:

cd ../BACKEND
dotnet run

Backend should be running at: http://localhost:5246

Test API Connection

1. Health Check (When Backend Running)

// This endpoint exists in the API client
final result = await client.checkHealth();
// Should return true if backend is running

2. Create Agent READY TO TEST

With backend running at http://localhost:5246:

  1. Click "Create Agent" button
  2. Fill in form:
    • Name: "Test Agent"
    • Description: "Testing agent creation"
    • Type: Code Generator
    • Provider Type: LocalEndpoint
    • Model Provider: ollama
    • Model Name: phi
    • Model Endpoint: http://localhost:11434
    • Temperature: 0.7 (default)
    • Max Tokens: 4000 (default)
    • System Prompt: "You are a helpful AI coding assistant"
    • Enable Memory: ON
    • Window Size: 10 (default)
  3. Click "Create Agent"
  4. Should show success message: "Agent 'Test Agent' created successfully"
  5. Agent should appear in grid (once list endpoint available)

3. Error Handling

Test with backend OFF:

  • Navigate to Agents page
  • Should show loading state briefly
  • Should show empty state (since no list endpoint yet)
  • Create agent should show network error

Browser Console Testing

Check for Errors

  1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12)
  2. Go to Console tab
  3. Look for:
    • No red errors
    • No yellow warnings (except known)
    • "animate: true" messages are expected

Network Tab

  1. Go to Network tab
  2. Reload page
  3. Check:
    • All assets load (JS, fonts, icons)
    • No 404 errors
    • Response times reasonable

Performance Testing

Hot Reload

  1. Change some UI text in code
  2. Press r in terminal (hot reload)
  3. Check:
    • Changes appear instantly
    • No app restart needed
    • State preserved

Build Time

  • Initial build: ~10-15 seconds
  • Hot reload: <1 second
  • No excessive rebuilds

Animations

  • Page transitions smooth (60 FPS)
  • No jank or stuttering
  • Fade-in animations pleasant
  • Button clicks responsive

Known Issues & Expected Behavior

Expected (Not Bugs)

  1. "animate: true" in console

    • These are debug messages from animate_do package
    • Harmless and expected in development
  2. Unused import warning

    • getwidget import in agents_page.dart
    • Will be used in Phase 2 (dialogs)
  3. Empty agents list

    • Backend doesn't have list endpoint yet (Phase 3)
    • Showing empty state is correct behavior
  4. "Coming soon" messages

    • Create agent, edit, delete dialogs
    • Will be implemented in Phase 2

Known Limitations

  1. No Agents Display

    • Awaiting backend list agents endpoint
    • Grid layout ready but no data to show
  2. Create Agent Placeholder

    • Button exists but opens snackbar
    • Full dialog coming in Phase 2
  3. No Real Data

    • All API calls ready
    • Need backend running to test

Terminal Commands (While App Running)

r    # Hot reload - apply code changes without restart
R    # Hot restart - full app restart
h    # Show all commands
c    # Clear console
q    # Quit app
