Launch VS Code - TestDriver

This test launches VS Code with provision.vscode() and waits for its window to appear.

Watch it run

The test

launch-vscode-linux.test.mjs

import { describe, expect, it } from "vitest";
import { TestDriver } from "testdriverai/vitest/hooks";

const isLinux = (process.env.TD_OS || "linux") === "linux";

describe("Launch VS Code on Linux", () => {
  it.skipIf(!isLinux)(
    "should launch VS Code on Debian/Ubuntu",
    async (context) => {
      const testdriver = TestDriver(context);

      await testdriver.provision.vscode();

      // Poll for up to 60 seconds while VS Code starts
      const vsCodeWindow = await testdriver.find(
        "Visual Studio Code window",
        { timeout: 60000 }
      );
      expect(vsCodeWindow.found()).toBeTruthy();
    },
  );

});

How it works

provision.vscode() starts VS Code in the sandbox.
timeout: 60000 makes find() keep checking for up to 60 seconds. This gives VS Code time to start.
found() returns true once the window is on screen.
it.skipIf(!isLinux) skips the test when TD_OS is set to windows.

Run it

The test is in the TestDriver SDK repository. Clone it, install dependencies, and run the file:

git clone https://github.com/testdriverai/testdriverai
cd testdriverai
npm install
npx vitest run examples/launch-vscode-linux.test.mjs

The test reads your API key from TD_API_KEY. Create a key at console.testdriver.ai/team/api-keys. Then set it in your environment or a .env file.
