version: "1.0.0" name: nqtr-testing description: Drive and inspect NQTR games from browser automation through the opt-in testing bridge, and connect application actions with awaited UI query refresh.

NQTR testing bridge

Enable the bridge only in development:

import { testing } from "@drincs/nqtr";
if (import.meta.env.DEV) testing.enable(); // window.nqtr

Use testing.setProps(props) to supply current OnRunProps, and testing.setActions(actions) to register application actions that await UI refresh. Unspecified actions use NQTR directly. enable({ windowKey }) replaces the previous session; disable() removes its global property and isEnabled() reports its state. Props and action registrations survive disable/enable. Unknown IDs reject with an error.

Read content without React hooks

getCurrentRoom() returns the current registered room or undefined. getRooms(), getActivities(), getCommitments(), and getQuests() return all registered domain objects, including inactive content. getRoutine() returns the unique commitments in the current active routine. Read fields explicitly when returning browser evaluation results; domain objects can contain functions or cyclic references.

Drive actions

const api = window.nqtr;
api.getRooms().map(room => room.id);
await api.goToRoom("mc_room");
await api.increaseTime(2);
await api.increaseDate(1, 8);
await api.addActivity("mc_room", "order_product");
await api.removeActivity("mc_room", "order_product");
await api.addCommitment("terrace", "alice_quest_talk");
await api.removeRoutine("alice_smokes");
await api.runActivity("order_product");
await api.runCommitment("alice_quest_talk");
await api.startQuest("aliceQuest");
await api.continueQuest("aliceQuest");

These examples are independent operations; the game must make an item available before it can be run through the template. removeRoutine follows routine.remove: it removes a temporary commitment, not a fixed registration. Time actions are direct engine operations; they do not apply the template's sleep/wait rules or automatic cleanup.

React template integration

Register useNqtrFunctions() results from the template's development-only useTestingBridge(). This shared hook can also run in normal React components. It resolves IDs, applies UI availability checks for room/activity/commitment execution, manages loading, and awaits query invalidation. Activity and commitment model run methods already await their own refresh, so do not invalidate twice in the wrapper. Quest actions supply current game props automatically. The library itself does not depend on React Query. Do not call React hooks inside narrative labels.

Changing rooms mounts the navigation screen and refreshes its queries. Automatic room events run through the existing screen effect and may outlive the action: inspect narration and loading state before issuing the next action.

wait and sleep are intentionally not testing actions.
