 "title": "Write UI tests that click widgets by role and label",
 "page_title": "How to write UI tests that click widgets by role and label with Limoni",
 "summary": "Test a Go terminal app by widget role and label instead of screen coordinates, using uitest.",
 "who": "A Go developer maintaining a terminal app whose tests break every time a layout shifts by a column.",
 "problem": "Tests that parse the character grid fail when the layout moves, so each small change breaks the suite.",
 "outcome": "A test suite that finds buttons, inputs and lists by their semantic role and label, waits for conditions instead of sleeping, and prints the widget tree of the last frame when it fails.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `go run github.com/thebanri/limoni/cmd/limoni@latest new myapp -template counter` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `cd myapp && go mod tidy`",
  "Run `go test ./...` and confirm the uitest test passes",
  "Open the generated test file and replace the checks with page.GetByRole(\"button\", \"<label>\").Click() and page.Expect(...) calls for your own widgets",
  "Run `go test ./...` again after each change to the UI"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Go project at <path>, using the github.com/thebanri/limoni module, add a uitest test that clicks the button labelled <label> and expects a widget with id status to contain the text <expected text>. Run go test ./... and report whether it passes; if it fails, include the printed widget tree.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes uitest as in-process testing with no terminal needed, but the API is pre-1.0 and the README warns the project has no stable 1.0 API yet.",

 "tags": [

 ],
 "lang": "go",
 "requirements": [
  "Go toolchain installed (for go install, go get, go run and go test)",
  "A terminal that supports the app's output (images and some features depend on the terminal)",
  "For the MCP use case: an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor, and limoni-mcp available on PATH (the README does not show how to install it)",
  "For the backdrop use case: curl, sh, and a terminal emulator"
