Cherry Studio PR Test
Automated PR testing workflow for Cherry Studio. Checks out a PR, launches
the Electron app with Chrome DevTools Protocol, connects agent-browser, and
runs interactive UI + code review tests.
Prerequisites
gh CLI installed and authenticated
agent-browser installed (for CDP-based UI testing)
pnpm installed with project dependencies (pnpm install)
Constraints
- Always kill existing Cherry Studio processes before launching a new instance.
- Never leave debug processes running after testing completes.
- Always switch back to the default branch after testing.
- Always show the test report to the user before posting it.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS may contain:
- A PR number (e.g.,
13955)
- A PR URL (e.g.,
https://github.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio/pull/13955)
- Keywords like "latest", "recent" to pick a recent PR
- Empty — list recent PRs and let the user choose
Workflow
Phase 1: Select & Checkout PR
- If no PR number given, list recent open PRs:
gh pr list --repo CherryHQ/cherry-studio --state open --limit 10 \
--json number,title,author,createdAt,headRefName,changedFiles \
--template '{{range .}}#{{.number}} | {{.title}} | by {{.author.login}} | files: {{.changedFiles}}
{{end}}'
- Ask the user to pick one (or auto-pick if "latest"/"recent").
- View PR details to understand what changed:
gh pr view <NUMBER> --json title,body,headRefName,files
- Checkout the PR branch:
gh pr checkout <NUMBER>
- Read the key changed files to understand the scope of changes.
Phase 2+3: Static Analysis & Launch App (parallel)
Static analysis and app launch are independent — run them in parallel to save time.
Static Analysis (can run while app is starting)
- TypeScript typecheck (catch type errors early):
pnpm typecheck 2>&1 | grep -E "error TS|exited with code"
- Review blocked files: Check if the PR modifies files with
@deprecated / V2 DATA&UI REFACTORING headers. These files are blocked
for feature changes until v2.0.0.
- Scan for common issues:
- Hardcoded strings (should use i18n)
console.log usage (should use loggerService)
- Missing type annotations on new public interfaces
Record all findings for the final report.
Launch App
-
Kill any existing Cherry Studio processes (graceful SIGTERM first):
pkill -f "cherry-studio.*Electron" 2>/dev/null
pkill -f "electron-vite" 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :9222 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
sleep 3
lsof -ti :9222 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
-
Start in debug mode (includes --remote-debugging-port=9222):
nohup pnpm debug > /tmp/cherry-debug.log 2>&1 &
-
Wait for startup (typically 20-30s):
for i in $(seq 1 30); do
lsof -i :9222 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN && break
sleep 2
done
Phase 4: Connect agent-browser
-
Connect:
agent-browser connect 9222
If connect fails, fall back to websocket URL from logs:
WS_URL=$(grep "DevTools listening" /tmp/cherry-debug.log | sed 's/.*ws:/ws:/')
agent-browser --cdp "$WS_URL" navigate http://localhost:5173
-
Verify connection and identify the main page:
agent-browser tab
You should see the main Cherry Studio page at http://localhost:5173/.
If multiple tabs are listed, use agent-browser tab <N> to select the main one.
-
Handle first-launch scenarios:
- V2 Data Migration Wizard: On the v2 branch (or fresh dev data), the app
may show a migration wizard (
/migrationV2.html) before the main UI.
Click through: 介绍(下一步) → 备份(我已备份,开始迁移) → 迁移(确定) → 完成(重启应用).
After "重启应用", kill and relaunch the app (the restart button doesn't work in dev mode).
- Splash screen: Wait up to 30s for the splash to dismiss.
-
Create screenshot directory for this PR:
mkdir -p /tmp/pr-<NUMBER>
Use this directory for all screenshots: /tmp/pr-<NUMBER>/<descriptive-name>.png
Phase 5: Interactive UI Testing
Based on the PR's changed files, navigate to the relevant pages and test.
Use your judgement to decide what to test — the PR description and changed files
should guide your testing strategy.
General Approach
- Take a screenshot of the current state
- Use
agent-browser snapshot -i to discover interactive elements
- Interact with elements (click, fill, drag, etc.)
- Screenshot and verify the result
- Verify state changes if relevant (via
agent-browser eval)
Key Testing Points
- UI renders correctly: New components appear in the right place
- Interactions work: Toggles, inputs, buttons all function
- State persistence: Changes survive across page navigations
- Theme compatibility: Test in both light and dark modes
- Layout modes: If sidebar/layout is involved, test at different sizes
- i18n: Switch language and verify new strings appear correctly
- Edge cases: Boundary conditions, rapid toggling, empty states
Phase 6: Cleanup
After testing:
-
Kill all Cherry Studio processes (graceful SIGTERM first):
pkill -f "cherry-studio.*Electron" 2>/dev/null
pkill -f "electron-vite" 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :9222 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
sleep 3
lsof -ti :9222 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
-
Switch back to the default branch:
default_branch=$(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')
git checkout "${default_branch:-main}"
Phase 7: Test Report
Generate a structured report with screenshots. Save the report as
/tmp/pr-<NUMBER>/report.md alongside the screenshots.

Troubleshooting
Port 9222 not listening after startup
The pnpm debug script passes --remote-debugging-port=9222 to Electron.
If not working:
- Check logs:
tail -50 /tmp/cherry-debug.log
- Kill by port:
lsof -ti :9222 | xargs kill -9
- Verify electron-vite is running:
ps aux | grep electron-vite
agent-browser connect fails
Use direct websocket URL:
WS_URL=$(grep "DevTools listening" /tmp/cherry-debug.log | grep 9222 | sed 's/.*\(ws:\/\/[^ ]*\)/\1/')
agent-browser --cdp "$WS_URL" tab
agent-browser target jumps to wrong page
Electron apps have multiple CDP targets (main window + webviews for mini-apps).
If agent-browser connects to a webview instead of the main page:
agent-browser tab
agent-browser tab 0
After opening/closing mini-apps, always verify you're on the right target
with agent-browser tab.
V2 Data Migration Wizard
On the v2 branch, the app may show a data migration wizard on first launch.
This is not a bug — it's expected when dev data hasn't been migrated yet.
Click through the wizard steps, then restart the app manually (kill + relaunch).
The wizard only appears once; subsequent launches go straight to the main UI.
App stuck on splash screen
Wait longer (up to 30s on first launch). The app needs to:
- Build and serve renderer via Vite dev server (port 5173)
- Run database migrations
- Initialize services (MCP, etc.)
Empty CDP target list
After connecting, if agent-browser tab shows only about:blank:
agent-browser navigate http://localhost:5173
sleep 10
agent-browser tab
