What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you run and debug VS Code smoke tests so you can verify end-to-end UI behavior, isolate flaky failures, and investigate CI breakages with the right runner options and logs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Run smoke test suites: Execute the full Electron, web, or remote smoke test flows from source or against a packaged build.
- Filter and trace failures: Narrow execution to a specific suite with grep patterns and capture Playwright traces and screenshots when troubleshooting.
- Debug CI flakes: Temporarily loop a suspect suite in CI to reproduce intermittent failures and then inspect published logs and artifacts.
- Use case: A failing PR smoke test can be reproduced by rerunning only the impacted suite with tracing, then reviewed through the downloaded logs artifact.
Quick Start
Use the smoke-tests skill to run the failing suite with a grep filter and tracing, then inspect the generated logs and screenshots to identify the regression.
