| description | Log into the local Carbon ERP dev server with agent-browser using the DEV_BYPASS_EMAIL bypass. Use before any browser automation that needs an authenticated session (/test, /smoke-test, manual verification). Requires a running dev stack (crbn up). Building block — it leaves the session open for the caller. |
auth — authenticate the local browser session
Authenticate against the local Carbon dev environment via DEV_BYPASS_EMAIL.
Other skills (/test, /smoke-test) invoke this before authenticated work.
Prerequisites
- Dev server running (
crbn up; plain pnpm dev also works)
DEV_BYPASS_EMAIL=test@carbon.ms in .env.local and the test@carbon.ms
user seeded — both are done automatically by crbn up
Steps
1. Resolve the ERP URL
grep '^ERP_URL' .env.local
The value varies per worktree — always read it; never assume a URL or port.
2. Open the login page
agent-browser open ${ERP_URL}/login && agent-browser wait --load networkidle && agent-browser snapshot -i
(If wait --load networkidle times out — dev HMR keeps sockets open — use
sleep 3 then agent-browser snapshot -i instead.)
3. Fill the email and submit
From the snapshot, find the email input ref and the sign-in button ref:
agent-browser fill @eN "test@carbon.ms"
agent-browser click @eM && agent-browser wait --load networkidle
4. Verify — do not assume
agent-browser snapshot -i
Login succeeded only if the page:
- redirected to
/x (the authenticated dashboard), and
- shows a greeting ("Good morning, Test" / "Good afternoon, Test") and module cards.
If the snapshot shows "Authentication Error" or is still on /login → login
failed. STOP and report the snapshot content; do not retry blindly.
Output
The browser session is authenticated; subsequent agent-browser commands carry
the auth cookies. Do not run agent-browser close — leave the session open
for the caller.
MES
The MES app is a separate URL: read MES_URL from .env.local and navigate
there. The same cookies apply — no separate login.
