Real E2E Test Skill

Run real end-to-end tests that start claude-tap from local source, connect to the real Claude CLI, and verify trace output.

Prerequisites

• claude CLI installed and authenticated
• Python dev dependencies installed: uv sync --extra dev
• tmux installed for interactive mode (brew install tmux)

Mode 1: Pytest Real E2E (7 test cases)

Run all real E2E tests

uv run pytest tests/e2e/ --run-real-e2e --timeout=300 -v

Run a single test

uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_real_proxy.py::TestRealProxy::test_single_turn --run-real-e2e --timeout=180 -v -s

Run with debug output

uv run pytest tests/e2e/ --run-real-e2e --timeout=300 -v -s --tb=long

Mode 2: tmux Interactive Real E2E

Use this when you need to validate non--p interactive behavior in Claude Code TUI.

scripts/run_real_e2e_tmux.sh

Optional overrides:

PROMPT_ONE="Use the shell tool to run command ls in the current directory, then reply with any 5 filenames only." \
PROMPT_TWO="Thank you." \
SUBMIT_KEY="Enter" \
PERMISSION_MODE="bypassPermissions" \
scripts/run_real_e2e_tmux.sh

Important tmux interaction notes:

• Submit key is Enter for Claude Code TUI in tmux (confirmed working).
• PROMPT_ONE should intentionally trigger tool use.
• For portability, use grep -F instead of rg in shell assertions (rg may be unavailable).

Verification Checklist (for both modes)

• Latest trace .jsonl contains both prompts (PROMPT_ONE, PROMPT_TWO)
• At least 2 requests hit /v1/messages
• At least one response content block has "type": "tool_use"
• HTML viewer file is generated (trace_*.html)

Notes

• Real E2E tests are skipped by default; --run-real-e2e is required.
• Each pytest case starts a fresh proxy server and trace directory.
• Timeouts are intentionally generous because real API calls are involved.
• tmux mode includes retry logic for prompt submission and post-run JSONL assertions.

Pytest Test Cases

Test	Timeout	What It Tests
test_single_turn	180s	Basic prompt/response trace capture
test_multi_turn	300s	Conversation memory with -c flag
test_tool_use	180s	Tool use generates multiple trace records
test_html_viewer_generated	180s	HTML viewer generated with embedded trace data
test_api_key_redaction	180s	API keys redacted from trace output
test_streaming_sse_capture	180s	SSE events captured in streaming mode
test_trace_summary	180s	CLI stdout includes trace summary and API call count
