Flow commands

Every step in a flow is one command: - name (bare), - name: value (scalar) or - name: with a map of keys. Selector-taking commands accept a bare string (exact visible text) or a selector object — see Flow file & selectors. Durations are milliseconds. ${VAR} is substituted in string values — see Variables.

VS Code extension targets behave like web in this table; desktop-app targets (--driver app) share the web DOM walk but lack most optional capabilities — see Testing desktop apps.

launchApp

Launches the app under test — on web it navigates to the URL. The bare string form takes the app id / URL; the map form adds clearState (wipe stored data first), stopApp (force a cold start), permissions (a name: allow|deny|unset map, mobile) and arguments (launch arguments, mobile).

Keys: appId — string · required; clearState — bool; stopApp — bool; permissions — map; arguments — map.

commands:
  - launchApp: com.example.app
  - launchApp:
      appId: com.example.app
      clearState: true
      permissions:
        notifications: allow

stopApp

Terminates the app: bare - stopApp uses the flow’s appId, - stopApp: <appId> stops another one. killApp is an alias.

Aliases: killApp

Keys: appId — string.

commands:
  - stopApp
  - stopApp: com.example.other

installApp

Installs a build from a path. grant: true grants runtime permissions right after the install.

Platforms: android, ios

Keys: path — string · required; grant — bool.

commands:
  - installApp: build/app-debug.apk
  - installApp:
      path: build/app.ipa
      grant: true

openLink

Opens a URL or deep link: browser navigation on web, am start -a VIEW on Android, simctl openurl on iOS.

Keys: url — string · required.

commands:
  - openLink: https://example.com/reset?token=${TOKEN}

clearState

Resets stored state: localStorage + cookies on web, pm clear on Android, the simulator’s app data container on iOS (simulator only). Bare form targets the flow’s appId; pass an app id to target another app.

Keys: appId — string.

commands:
  - clearState
  - clearState: com.example.other

grantPermissions

Grants the common runtime permissions (simctl privacy on iOS, pm grant on Android). Bare form uses the flow’s appId. Not supported on web — browsers have no permission model the driver can grant.

Platforms: android, ios

Keys: appId — string.

commands:
  - grantPermissions

setPermissions

Sets permissions one by one: a name: allow|deny|unset map (all covers every permission), optionally under permissions: next to an appId. Names: camera, location, microphone, notifications, photos, contacts, calendar, bluetooth, motion, medialibrary, phone, reminders, siri, sms, storage.

Platforms: android, ios

Keys: appId — string; permissions — map.

commands:
  - setPermissions:
      camera: allow
      location: deny
  - setPermissions:
      appId: com.example.other
      permissions:
        all: unset

back

Browser history back on web, the hardware Back key on Android. On iOS there is no system back — the step is a no-op there.

Platforms: web, android

commands:
  - back

vscodeCommand

VS Code flows only. id — a bare workbench.action.closeAllEditors, or { id, args } — goes through the helper extension the driver bundles, which answers when the command resolves; { title: … } types the palette title instead and is done when the palette closes. A bare string is read as an id when it is shaped like one (dotted, no spaces) and as a palette title otherwise. args needs id: the palette takes no arguments, and asking for both is an error rather than a silent drop — as is id together with title, or any other key in the map. Works in before: / after: too; before: clean is five of these steps.

Platforms: web

Keys: id — string; title — string; args — list of strings.

Exclusive: one of id, title.

commands:
  - vscodeCommand: workbench.action.closeAllEditors
  - vscodeCommand:
      title: "My Ext: Generate Config"
  - vscodeCommand:
      id: workbench.action.openSettings
      args: ["editor.fontSize"]

Taps & gestures

tapOn

Taps the first match of a selector; off-screen targets are scrolled into view first. { point: "x, y" } taps coordinates instead (pixels or %). repeat taps N times with delay ms between taps (default 100). timeout (ms, default 5000) overrides the element wait for this tap alone.

Keys: selector — selector; repeat — integer; delay — ms; timeout — ms; point — point "x, y".

commands:
  - tapOn: "Log in"
  - tapOn:
      id: submit
  - tapOn:
      point: "50%, 90%"
  - tapOn:
      text: "+"
      repeat: 3
      delay: 200
  - tapOn:
      text: "Continue"
      timeout: 30000

longPressOn

Presses and holds for 600 ms — a selector or { point: "x, y" }.

Keys: selector — selector; point — point "x, y".

commands:
  - longPressOn: "Message"
  - longPressOn:
      point: "200, 400"

doubleTapOn

Two quick taps on a selector or { point: "x, y" }.

Keys: selector — selector; point — point "x, y".

commands:
  - doubleTapOn: "Photo"

scroll

Scrolls one screen up or down (bare - scroll = down). Horizontal moves are swipe: left|right.

Keys: direction — enum (up | down); within — selector.

commands:
  - scroll
  - scroll: up

swipe

swipe: up|down|left|right, or { start, end } as "x, y" points in pixels or % of the screen.

Keys: direction — enum (up | down | left | right); start — point "x, y"; end — point "x, y".

Exclusive: direction not with start, end.

commands:
  - swipe: left
  - swipe:
      start: "50%, 80%"
      end: "50%, 20%"

scrollUntilVisible

Scrolls repeatedly until the selector is visible. Map form: direction (up|down|left|right, default down), timeout ms, speed 0–100, centerElement: true to finish with the element centred. Gives up after --scroll-attempts swipes (default 5).

Keys: selector — selector · required; direction — enum (up | down | left | right); timeout — ms; speed — integer; centerElement — bool; within — selector.

commands:
  - scrollUntilVisible: "Terms of service"
  - scrollUntilVisible:
      id: footer
      direction: down
      centerElement: true

dragAndDrop

Locates both elements and drags between their centres. duration (ms, default 600) is slow enough for a drop target’s hover state to fire, which is what most drag-and-drop implementations wait for.

Keys: from — selector · required; to — selector · required; duration — ms; path — pointList.

commands:
  - dragAndDrop:
      from: "Card"
      to: { id: done-column }

check

Reads the element’s checked state first and taps only when it isn’t already on, then confirms the tap took — a disabled or covered control fails the step instead of passing silently. Safe to re-run.

Keys: selector — selector · required.

commands:
  - check: "Remember me"

uncheck

The mirror of check: taps only when the element is on, then confirms it went off.

Keys: selector — selector · required.

commands:
  - uncheck: { id: newsletter }

hover

Moves the pointer without pressing — for menus, tooltips and controls that only appear under the cursor. Web and VS Code only; a touchscreen has no hover.

Platforms: web

Keys: selector — selector · required.

commands:
  - hover: "Account"
  - assertVisible: "Sign out"

Text input & keys

inputText

Types text into the currently focused input. ${VAR} is substituted first.

Keys: text — string · required.

commands:
  - tapOn: "Email"
  - inputText: "${EMAIL}"

inputRandomEmail

Types a generated e-mail address into the focused field.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomEmail

inputRandomPersonName

Types a generated first + last name.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomPersonName

inputRandomNumber

Types a random number; length digits (default 8) — bare, : N or { length: N }.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomNumber: 6

inputRandomText

Types random letters; length characters (default 8) — bare, : N or { length: N }.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomText:
      length: 12

inputRandomCityName

Types a city name from a built-in list.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomCityName

inputRandomCountryName

Types a country name from a built-in list.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomCountryName

inputRandomColorName

Types a color name from a built-in list.

Keys: length — integer.

commands:
  - inputRandomColorName

clearText

Empties the focused text field.

commands:
  - tapOn: "Search"
  - clearText

eraseText

- eraseText: N deletes N characters before the caret; bare - eraseText clears the whole field.

Keys: count — integer.

commands:
  - eraseText: 3

pressKey

Keys: enter, home, back, backspace, tab, escape, volume up, volume down, lock, power (case-insensitive). Combos like cmd+shift+p (mods ctrl/control, alt/option, shift, cmd/meta/win/super) work on web and VS Code targets.

commands:
  - pressKey: enter
  - pressKey: cmd+shift+p

hideKeyboard

Dismisses the software keyboard (blur on web, best-effort on iOS).

commands:
  - hideKeyboard

setClipboard

Stores text in the flow’s copy register — the same one copyText fills and ${copiedText} reads. It is a flow-level register, not the OS clipboard.

Keys: text — string · required.

commands:
  - setClipboard: "hello"
  - pasteText

pasteText

Types the copy register (copyText / setClipboard, else a copiedText variable) into the focused field.

commands:
  - copyText: "Order #"
  - tapOn: "Search"
  - pasteText

Forms & page (web)

selectOption

Picks an option by its visible text (option), by the underlying value (optionValue) or by position (optionIndex) — exactly one of the three. Fires input and change, so frameworks see the edit.

Platforms: web

Keys: selector — selector · required; option — string; optionValue — string; optionIndex — integer.

Exclusive: one of option, optionValue, optionIndex.

commands:
  - selectOption:
      id: country
      option: "Germany"

uploadFile

A file dialog is browser chrome and cannot be clicked, so the files are handed to the input directly. files takes a path or a list of paths, resolved like every other file a flow names; a missing file fails the step.

Platforms: web

Keys: selector — selector · required; files — list of strings · required.

commands:
  - uploadFile:
      id: avatar
      files: fixtures/face.png

assertUrl

The bare form matches exactly; the map form takes one of equals, contains or regex, plus timeout (ms). Polls until it matches, so a click that navigates has time to land.

Platforms: web

Keys: equals — string; contains — string; regex — string; timeout — ms.

Exclusive: one of equals, contains, regex.

commands:
  - assertUrl: { contains: "/checkout" }

Assertions & waits

How a run knows the page settled

The engine settles before every command, so most flows need no explicit wait at all. On web a page counts as settled when four signals are quiet at once — the document has finished loading, no request is in flight (streams that stay open by design, and anything older than 5 s, do not count), the DOM has not changed for 150 ms, and the address has not changed for 150 ms — and two reads of the screen come back the same, ignoring drift of up to 2 px so an animation’s tail is not mistaken for movement. On mobile and native the platform’s own idle signal stands in for the first three. Settling is capped by --settle-timeout (2000 ms); a step’s own timeout: raises that cap for that step. A screen whose tree is slower to read than that budget still gets read twice — the cap stretches to what the reads themselves cost, so a slow page reads slow, not unsettled.

A run that could not settle in time still goes on, and says so. assertNotVisible, waitForNotVisible and when: notVisible only pass on a settled screen: an element missing from a page that is still drawing itself has not gone away, it has not arrived — so they fail with the reason instead of passing on a half-drawn screen. Everything else (tapOn, assertVisible, inputText, …) acts anyway at the deadline and the step carries acted on a page that had not settled (Network(2)), plus settled: false and unsettledReason in the report. The reasons are Loading, Network(n), Mutating, Navigating and Timeout.

assertVisible

Waits up to timeout ms (default 5000, --wait-timeout) for the selector to be visible, then fails the step if it isn’t.

Keys: selector — selector · required; timeout — ms.

commands:
  - assertVisible: "Welcome"
  - assertVisible:
      id: toast
      timeout: 10000

assertNotVisible

Polls until the selector is absent on a settled screen (up to timeout ms, default 5000); fails if it is still visible, and fails with the reason if the page never settled — an element missing from a page still drawing itself is not proof it went away.

Keys: selector — selector · required; timeout — ms.

commands:
  - assertNotVisible: "Loading…"

waitForVisible

Same as assertVisible; reads better when a step is a wait, not a check.

Keys: selector — selector · required; timeout — ms.

commands:
  - waitForVisible:
      text: "Dashboard"
      timeout: 15000

extendedWaitUntil

Alias form: { visible: <selector> } or { notVisible: <selector> } plus timeout ms.

Keys: visible — selector; notVisible — selector; timeout — ms.

commands:
  - extendedWaitUntil:
      notVisible: "Spinner"
      timeout: 20000

waitForAnimationToEnd

Waits until the screen stops changing; timeout ms caps the wait (default --settle-timeout, 2000).

Keys: timeout — ms.

commands:
  - waitForAnimationToEnd
  - waitForAnimationToEnd:
      timeout: 5000

assertTrue

{ equals: [a, b] } / { contains: [haystack, needle] } over ${}-substituted strings, or a bare string evaluated as JavaScript in the flow’s script context (assertTrue: "${count} > 1").

Keys: expression — string; equals — list of strings; contains — list of strings.

Exclusive: one of expression, equals, contains.

commands:
  - copyText:
      id: total
      into: total
  - assertTrue:
      equals: ["${total}", "42"]
  - assertTrue: "Number(total) > 40"

copyText

Reads the element’s text into into (default copiedText), available as ${name} and as a JS global. Alias copyTextFrom.

Aliases: copyTextFrom

Keys: selector — selector · required; into — string.

commands:
  - copyText:
      id: order-number
      into: order

assertFile

For VS Code extension tests: asserts that path (relative to the open workspace) exists and, with contains, includes the text.

Platforms: web

Keys: path — string · required; contains — string.

commands:
  - assertFile:
      path: out/report.md
      contains: "PASS"

assertScreenshot

Compares the screen with <name>.png; the first run creates the baseline. tolerance is the allowed percentage of differing pixels (default 0.5); a failing actual is saved as <name>.actual.png.

Keys: name — string · required; tolerance — number.

commands:
  - assertScreenshot: checkout
  - assertScreenshot:
      name: screens/home
      tolerance: 1.5

Screenshots & video

takeScreenshot

Writes <name>.png (default screenshot.png) — relative to the current directory in the CLI, next to the run’s artifacts in the desktop.

Keys: name — string.

commands:
  - takeScreenshot: after-login

startRecording

Starts recording (native on Android/iOS, screencast on web); stopRecording writes <name>.mp4 (default recording.mp4). Whole-run video is simpler with tapstep test --video.

Keys: name — string.

commands:
  - startRecording: checkout
  - tapOn: "Pay"
  - stopRecording

stopRecording

Ends the recording started by startRecording and saves the file.

commands:
  - stopRecording

Device state

setLocation

Keys: lat — number · required; lon — number · required.

commands:
  - setLocation:
      lat: 43.238
      lon: 76.889

travel

commands:
  - travel:
      points:
        - "43.238, 76.889"

      - fixtures/photo.jpg
      - fixtures/clip.mp4

clearKeychain

Wipes the simulator’s keychain. iOS only.

Platforms: ios

commands:
  - clearKeychain

Control flow

runFlow

runFlow: path.helper.yaml inlines a helper (must end in .helper.yaml, resolved relative to the calling file). The map form takes file or inline commands, an optional when ({ visible | notVisible: <selector> } or { platform: android | [web, ios] }) and env — variables scoped to the block (shadowed names are restored afterwards; new ones persist). Helper params: are passed via env.

Keys: file — string; when — condition; env — map; commands — commands.

commands:
  - runFlow: helpers/login.helper.yaml
  - runFlow:
      file: helpers/login.helper.yaml
      env:
        USER: qa@example.com
  - runFlow:
      when:
        visible: "Accept cookies"
      commands:
        - tapOn: "Accept cookies"

repeat

times: N or while: <condition> ({ visible | notVisible: <selector> }), plus commands. A while loop stops after 1000 iterations.

Keys: times — integer; while — condition; commands — commands · required.

commands:
  - repeat:
      times: 3
      commands:
        - tapOn: "+"
  - repeat:
      while:
        visible: "Load more"
      commands:
        - tapOn: "Load more"

retry

Runs commands; on failure retries up to maxRetries times (default 1). A pass after retries is reported with a note.

Keys: maxRetries — integer; commands — commands · required.

commands:
  - retry:
      maxRetries: 2
      commands:
        - tapOn: "Refresh"
        - assertVisible: "Updated"

AI

assertWithAI

Asks the configured model whether the assertion holds for the current screen. The bare form is optional: true — a failed check is a warning; { assertion, optional: false } fails the flow. Needs an AI connection: ai: in config.yaml or TAPSTEP_AI_* — see AI agents.

Keys: assertion — string · required; optional — bool.

commands:
  - assertWithAI: "The cart shows exactly two items"
  - assertWithAI:
      assertion: "No overlapping text on the screen"
      optional: false

assertNoDefectsWithAI

Asks the model for obvious visual defects (clipped text, overlaps, broken layout). Optional by default; { optional: false } fails the flow.

Keys: optional — bool.

commands:
  - assertNoDefectsWithAI

extractTextWithAI

Asks the model to read something off the screen into into (default aiText); with pattern (regex) the answer must match — one retry, then the step fails.

Keys: query — string · required; into — string; pattern — string.

commands:
  - extractTextWithAI:
      query: "the 6-digit confirmation code"
      into: code
      pattern: "\\d{6}"
  - inputText: "${code}"

Scripting

evalScript

Evaluates JS in the flow’s script context (one QuickJS context per run). Flow variables are globals; write output.name = … to publish ${output.name}; console.log is captured into the report. See Scripts.

Keys: script — string · required.

commands:
  - evalScript: "output.total = Number(price) * 2"
  - assertVisible: "${output.total}"

runScript

Runs a .js file (relative to the flow) in the same context; env adds variables for the script.

Keys: file — string · required; env — map.

commands:
  - runScript:
      file: scripts/prepare.js
      env:
        SEED: "42"

API & data

request

Calls an HTTP endpoint from the flow (http is an alias). - request: <url> is a GET; the map form takes method, headers, query, json or body, auth ({ bearer } / { basic: { user, pass } }), extract (name → JSONPath into ${vars}), assert or retryUntil (status as a code or "2xx", json equalities / { contains }, headers, schema file or inline), timeout ms (default 30000). retryUntil polls every second. ${} is substituted in the request, not in expected values. With device: none a flow is pure API — see API testing.

Aliases: http

Exclusive: one of json, body; one of assert, retryUntil; inside auth: one of bearer, basic.

commands:
  - request:
      method: POST
      url: "${API}/login"
      json:
        email: "${EMAIL}"
        password: "${PASSWORD}"
      extract:
        token: $.token
      assert:
        status: 200
  - request:
      url: "${API}/me"
      auth:
        bearer: "${token}"
      retryUntil:
        json:
          $.status: active
      timeout: 20000

sql

Runs one statement against Postgres, MySQL or SQLite — seed a fixture before the UI, check what the UI wrote afterwards, clean up in after. db is the connection string (postgres://…, mysql://…, sqlite:<path>), usually ${DATABASE_URL} from .env; the flow header’s db: is the default for every step that omits it. Every step opens its own connection, so sqlite::memory: starts empty again in the next step — point sqlite: at a file. Exactly one of query (rows come back) and exec (affected count comes back) is required. params is a list of scalars — strings, numbers, booleans, null — bound positionally to the statement’s own placeholders ($1, $2 on Postgres, ? on MySQL and SQLite), so a value is never spliced into SQL text. A ${var} param carries an extracted value and binds as text, so on Postgres cast the placeholder when the column is not text (where id = $1::int). readOnly: true runs inside a transaction that is rolled back: a check that cannot change data. extract takes a JSONPath over the result — the rows array for query ($[0].id), { "affected": N } for exec — and assert takes rows, minRows, none, first (columns on the first row), contains (some row matches every column) and affected. timeout ms (default 30000) covers connecting and the statement. After the step ${sql.rows} or ${sql.affected} is available. The DSN is a secret: reports and logs show scheme://user:***@host/db. Writes are allowed — in CI, point db: at a read-only database user for check-only suites. See API testing.

Keys: db — string; query — string; exec — string; params — list of strings; timeout — ms; readOnly — bool; extract — map; assert — map.

Exclusive: one of query, exec.

commands:
  - sql:
      exec: "insert into coupons (code, percent) values ($1, $2)"
      params: ["QA10", 10]
      assert:
        affected: 1
  - sql:
      query: "select status, total from orders where coupon = $1"
      params: ["QA10"]
      readOnly: true
      extract:
        total: $[0].total
      assert:
        rows: 1
        first:
          status: paid
