Smoke Tests for TriWei Games Labs (Static GitHub Pages)

Smoke Tests for TriWei Games Labs (Static GitHub Pages)

These smoke tests are designed to catch “page doesn’t load / JS crashes / key UI missing” issues before you merge into your repo.

They run locally on your machine. No backend required.

Option A (Recommended): Playwright automated browser checks ✅

Prereqs

  • Node.js 18+ (or 20+)
  • npm

1) Install deps (one time)

From this folder:

cd games/tests/smoke
npm install
npx playwright install chromium

2) Run tests

From your repo root (or anywhere — the script finds your games/ folder):

cd games/tests/smoke
npm test

What it does

  • Starts a local static server for your repo
  • Opens each lab page in headless Chromium
  • Fails if:
    • the page doesn’t load
    • there are console errors
    • required controls/canvases are missing

Option B: Zero-install manual checklist (fast) 🧪

Start a local server (Python)

From your repo root:

python -m http.server 8000

Open each URL and check DevTools Console for errors:

  • http://localhost:8000/games/labs/linreg/
  • http://localhost:8000/games/labs/overfitting/
  • http://localhost:8000/games/labs/backprop/
  • http://localhost:8000/games/labs/knn-vs-logreg/
  • http://localhost:8000/games/labs/qlearning-grid/

Notes

  • These tests are “smoke” tests, not mathematical proof.
  • The labs themselves include gradient checks for core math correctness.
