Getting Started

Named after astronaut Dave Bowman, the only one who could keep HAL in check. In the same spirit, dave keeps an eye on halOP — the WildFly management console — making sure it behaves as expected.

dave is the UI test suite for halOP, built with Playwright and TypeScript. It automatically starts a WildFly server and halOP container, runs end-to-end tests against the management console, and tears everything down when finished.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• pnpm (corepack-enabled, see packageManager in package.json)
• Podman or Docker — runs WildFly and halOP containers (auto-detected)

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Install Playwright browsers
pnpm exec playwright install chromium firefox webkit

# Run all tests (headless)
pnpm test
