Setup Web Tests

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automatically configure web testing environments within PostHog. It streamlines the process of preparing infrastructure for automated browser or API test execution directly through the platform interface.

When to use it

• You need to rapidly spin up a fresh testing environment for a new feature branch.
• Your team requires consistent, reproducible test setups across multiple developers' machines.
• You want to automate the initialization of browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) with specific flags or extensions before running suites.
• You are integrating CI/CD pipelines that require pre-configured web testing contexts.

Key capabilities

• Automated installation and configuration of web testing tools.
• Environment variable management for test scenarios.
• Browser profile setup tailored for automation tasks.
• Integration with PostHog's native project settings.

Example prompts

• "Set up a new Chrome browser profile with headless mode enabled for my 'Checkout Flow' project."
• "Configure the testing environment to use specific API keys and mock data sources for regression testing."
• "Initialize a fresh web test workspace with Selenium WebDriver pre-configured for Firefox."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your PostHog project has write permissions before attempting to install or modify testing configurations. This skill is designed for setup tasks; running actual test suites typically requires a separate execution trigger.
