Tauri MCP Test Runner

Overview

Run VMark end-to-end UI flows using the Tauri MCP tools and summarize results.

Workflow

1. Confirm the desktop app is running. If not, ask the user to start it.
2. Start MCP session via mcp__tauri__tauri_driver_session (action: start, port: 9223 or omit for default).
3. List windows (mcp__tauri__tauri_manage_window action: list) and pick the target window.
4. Execute test flows using the patterns in references/flows.md.
5. Capture logs when needed (mcp__tauri__tauri_read_logs) and stop the session when done.
6. Report results: passed/failed flows, errors, repro steps, and any follow-up fixes.

Key Tools

Tauri MCP Tools (tauri-mcp server)

• tauri_driver_session - Start/stop driver session
• tauri_webview_screenshot - Capture current state
• tauri_webview_keyboard - Send keystrokes (Enter, Escape, shortcuts)
• tauri_webview_interact - Click, focus elements
• tauri_webview_find_element - Inspect DOM state

VMark MCP Tools (vmark server)

• document_insert_at_cursor - Insert text (appears as AI suggestion)
• cursor_set_position - Move cursor to position
• cursor_get_context - Get surrounding text context
• selection_set / selection_get - Manage text selection
• format_toggle - Toggle formatting (bold, italic, etc.)

Critical Pattern: AI Content Acceptance

When using vmark MCP to insert content, it appears as an AI suggestion that must be accepted with Enter via tauri-mcp:

1. vmark: document_insert_at_cursor("text")
2. tauri: keyboard(action: "press", key: "Enter")   # Accept
3. tauri: keyboard(action: "press", key: "Escape")  # Dismiss follow-up

This pattern is required for all content insertion operations.
