FAQ

How do I run a test using this skill?

To run a test, you need to provide a website URL and a prompt with the test instructions. Use the ScoutQA CLI with the `--url` and `--prompt` parameters. The test will run in the background after a brief execution timeout to capture initial details.

Can this skill test websites running on localhost?

Yes, the `scoutqa` CLI supports testing websites running on localhost or at the IP address `127.0.0.1`.

What happens if the ScoutQA test exceeds the timeout limit?

The timeout only applies to capturing the initial details like execution ID and browser URL. After the timeout, the test continues to run in the background on both local and remote systems. It does not stop or interrupt the test.

Is there any specific setup required to use ScoutQA?

The skill requires the ScoutQA CLI to be installed, and you should be familiar with using the Bash tool. Additionally, ensure you have access to the ScoutQA infrastructure for executing tests.
