Interactive OMP Smoke Tests Skill

Interactive OMP Smoke Tests

Use this when an OMP extension requires real TUI verification: keypress sequences, modal editor behavior, or slash-command widgets. The normal Bash PTY can launch OMP but cannot feed input after launch, so use Python stdlib pty.

Procedure

Build the extension first:
```
bun run build
```

Spawn OMP in a pseudo-terminal from Python:

import os, pty, select, signal, time, re

ANSI_RE = re.compile(r"\x1b\[[0-9;?]*[ -/]*[@-~]|\x1b\][\s\S]*?(?:\x07|\x1b\\)|\x1b[PX_^][\s\S]*?\x1b\\")

def strip_ansi(text: str) -> str:
    return ANSI_RE.sub("", text)

pid, fd = pty.fork()
if pid == 0:
    os.execvp("omp", ["omp", "--extension", "./dist/index.js", "--no-session", "--max-time=20"])
os.set_blocking(fd, False)

Read output nonblocking and wait for a prompt/status marker:

def read_available(fd, timeout=0.05):
    chunks = []
    end = time.time() + timeout
    while time.time() < end:
        ready, _, _ = select.select([fd], [], [], 0.01)
        if not ready:
            continue
        try:
            data = os.read(fd, 65536)
        except (BlockingIOError, OSError):
            break
        if not data:
            break
        chunks.append(data.decode("utf-8", "ignore"))
    return "".join(chunks)

If the splash screen appears, send Enter when stripped output includes press enter to skip.

Send key bytes with small delays:

for key in [b"i", b"a", b"b", b"c", b"\x1b", b"v", b"l", b"m", b"("]:
    os.write(fd, key)
    time.sleep(0.08)

Verify stripped output contains the expected prompt/status text, e.g. (a)bc and -- reg ".
For slash-command widgets from normal mode, first enter insert mode, then type the slash command and Enter:
```
os.write(fd, b"i/modal-editor:help\r")
```

Terminate cleanly at the end:

os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM)
os.close(fd)

Notes

Use this only for real interactive TUI verification. Unit-level editor tests are faster for pure state-machine behavior.
Strip ANSI/OSC/APC before searching output; OMP emits rich terminal sequences.
Keep waits condition-based (wait until output contains X) instead of sleeping blindly.
Use --no-session and --max-time to keep smoke runs isolated and bounded.
