pybreeze 1.0.19

IDE for multi automation

PyBreeze: The Automation-First IDE

繁體中文 | 简体中文

PyBreeze is a Python IDE purpose-built for automation engineers. It integrates Web, API, GUI, and load testing automation into a single unified environment — no plugin hunting, no complex environment setup, just open and start automating.

Features

Four-Dimensional Automation

PyBreeze covers the full spectrum of automation testing needs out of the box:

Dimension	Module	Description
Web Automation	WebRunner	Browser-based interaction simulation and testing with deep integration of browser drivers and element locators
API Automation	APITestka	RESTful API development and testing with built-in request builders, response analyzers, mock servers, and assertion verification
GUI Automation	AutoControl	Desktop application automation via image recognition, coordinate-based positioning, keyboard/mouse control, and action recording
Load & Stress Testing	LoadDensity	High-concurrency performance testing engine for monitoring system stability under extreme pressure

Additionally:

• File Automation — Automated file and directory operations via the automation-file module
• Mail Automation — Automated email sending (e.g., test report delivery) via MailThunder
• Test Framework — Structured YAML-driven test execution via TestPioneer

IDE Core Capabilities

PyBreeze is not just a code editor — it is a command center for the automation lifecycle:

• Syntax Highlighting — Built-in Python syntax highlighting with deep keyword awareness for automation libraries (APITestka, AutoControl, WebRunner, LoadDensity, etc.). Custom syntax rules can be added via plugins.
• Code Editor — Built on JEditor, a full-featured editor with tab management, file tree navigation, and project workspace support.
• Script Execution — Run automation scripts directly from the IDE with real-time output. Supports single-script and multi-script batch execution.
• Report Generation — Automation modules can generate HTML, JSON, and XML reports after test execution, with optional email delivery.
• Integrated JupyterLab — Launch JupyterLab directly as a tab within PyBreeze for interactive notebook-based development. Auto-installs JupyterLab if not present.
• Virtual Environment Awareness — Automatically detects and uses the project's virtual environment (.venv or venv).

Built-in Tools

• SSH Client — Full SSH terminal client with:
  • Password and private key authentication
  • Interactive command execution
  • Remote file tree viewer with CRUD operations (create folder, rename, delete, upload, download)
• Package Manager — Install automation modules and build tools directly from the IDE menu without leaving the editor.
• Integrated Documentation — Quick access to documentation and GitHub pages for each automation module directly from the menu bar.

AI-Assisted Development

• AI Code Review — Send code to an LLM API endpoint for automated code review. Accept or reject suggestions directly in the IDE.
• CoT (Chain-of-Thought) Prompt Editor — Create and manage multi-step CoT prompts for structured code analysis, including:
  • Code review prompts
  • Code smell detection
  • Linting analysis
  • Step-by-step analysis
  • Summary generation
• Skill Prompt Editor — Define and manage reusable skill-based prompts (code explanation, code review templates) that can be sent to LLM APIs.

Plugin System

PyBreeze supports an extensible plugin architecture for:

• Syntax Highlighting — Add syntax highlighting for any programming language via plugins
• UI Translation — Add new interface languages via translation plugins
• Run Configurations — Add "Run with..." support for compiled and interpreted languages (C, C++, Go, Java, Rust, etc.)
• Plugin Browser — Browse and install plugins from remote repositories directly within the IDE

Plugins are auto-discovered from the jeditor_plugins/ directory. See PLUGIN_GUIDE.md for full documentation.

Bundled plugins: C, C++, Go, Java, Rust syntax highlighting and run support; French translation.

Multi-Language UI

The IDE interface supports multiple languages:

• English (default)
• Traditional Chinese (繁體中文)
• Additional languages can be added via plugins

Architecture

PyBreeze follows a modular architecture:

PyBreeze UI (PySide6)
├── JEditor (Base Editor Engine)
│   ├── Code Editor with Tabs
│   ├── File Tree Navigation
│   ├── Syntax Highlighting Engine
│   └── Plugin System
├── Automation Menu
│   ├── APITestka ──→ APITestka Executor ──→ je_api_testka
│   ├── AutoControl ──→ AutoControl Executor ──→ je_auto_control
│   ├── WebRunner ──→ WebRunner Executor ──→ je_web_runner
│   ├── LoadDensity ──→ LoadDensity Executor ──→ je_load_density
│   ├── FileAutomation ──→ FileAutomation Executor ──→ automation-file
│   ├── MailThunder ──→ MailThunder Executor ──→ je-mail-thunder
│   └── TestPioneer ──→ TestPioneer Executor ──→ test_pioneer
├── Tools
│   ├── SSH Client (paramiko)
│   ├── AI Code Review Client
│   ├── CoT Prompt Editor
│   ├── Skill Prompt Editor
│   └── JupyterLab Integration
└── Install Menu
    ├── Automation Module Installers
    └── Build Tools Installer

Each automation module runs in its own subprocess via PythonTaskProcessManager, providing process isolation and preventing crashes from affecting the IDE.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install pybreeze

From Source

git clone https://github.com/Intergration-Automation-Testing/AutomationEditor.git
cd AutomationEditor
pip install -r requirements.txt

System Requirements

• Python: 3.10 or higher
• OS: Windows, macOS, Linux
• GUI Framework: PySide6 6.11.0 (installed automatically)

---

Quick Start

Run via command line

python -m pybreeze

Run via Python script

from pybreeze import start_editor

start_editor()

Run from the exe directory

python exe/start_pybreeze.py

Once launched, you can:

1. Write automation scripts in the editor with syntax-aware auto-completion
2. Execute scripts via Automation menu — choose the target module (APITestka, WebRunner, etc.)
3. View results in the integrated output panel
4. Generate reports in HTML/JSON/XML formats
5. Send reports via email using MailThunder integration
