TUI Test Renderer

SkillDev tools

Set up testing utilities for TUI components with ink-testing-library and Bubble Tea testing.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the TUI Test Renderer skill

Generated Patterns

Ink Testing

import { render } from 'ink-testing-library';
import React from 'react';
import { MyComponent } from './MyComponent';

test('renders correctly', () => {
  const { lastFrame, stdin } = render(<MyComponent />);
  expect(lastFrame()).toContain('Expected text');
  stdin.write('\r'); // Simulate enter
  expect(lastFrame()).toContain('After enter');
});

Bubble Tea Testing

import (
  tea "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea"
  "testing"
)

func TestModel(t *testing.T) {
  m := initialModel()
  m, _ = m.Update(tea.KeyMsg{Type: tea.KeyEnter})
  view := m.View()
  if !strings.Contains(view, "expected") {
    t.Errorf("Expected view to contain 'expected'")
  }
}
