Usage Examples

Web‐Automation Testing with /play

Run AI-generated Playwright tests end-to-end. Robodog will:

  1. Parse your natural-language instructions into discrete steps
  2. Spin up a headless browser and execute each step, retrying once on failure
  3. Log each attempt and, at the end, print a Success/Failure summary

Example:

  /play navigate to https://example.com, extract the page title, and verify it contains 'Example Domain'

Expected output:

Instructions: navigate to https://example.com, extract the page title, and verify it contains 'Example Domain'

----- Parsed steps -----

  1. Navigate to https://example.com
  2. Extract the page title
  3. Verify the title contains 'Example Domain'

Starting step 1: Navigate to https://example.com --- Attempt 1 on page: (about:blank) --- Step 1 attempt 1 → Success: None

Starting step 2: Extract the page title --- Attempt 1 on page: Example Domain (https://example.com) --- Step 2 attempt 1 → Success: 'Example Domain'

Starting step 3: Verify the title contains 'Example Domain' --- Attempt 1 on page: Example Domain (https://example.com) --- Step 3 attempt 1 → Success: True

--- /play summary --- Step 1: Success Step 2: Success Step 3: Success

Switch Model

/model o4-mini

→ “Model is set to o4-mini”
