Logic Node Testing — VS Code Extension

Generate a small local FastAPI project around one custom logic node, run it, and call its preview endpoint from the embedded tester.

What This Section Covers

The tester accepts one of your published nodes or a node test snapshot copied from Avora. It combines that node with a selected workspace, entity or request group, variant, and test values before generating local code.

What You Can Accomplish

• Open a published logic node directly from the extension sidebar.
• Paste a compact test snapshot, a snapshot ID, or a full node JSON export.
• Configure variants, lines, inputs, outputs, errors, and workspace context.
• Validate the node and workspace before code generation.
• Reuse one local test directory for fast iteration.
• Start the generated preview and send a typed API request from the tester.
• Read actionable workspace, preview, and Python startup diagnostics.

Before You Continue

Sign in, prepare a workspace with at least one entity or request group, and install Python plus the generated preview dependencies. A published node must include a valid visual configuration and code bundle.

Recommended Order

1. Open a published node or paste a test snapshot.
2. Choose the workspace and target entity or request group.
3. Select a variant and fill its configurable values.
4. Set a dedicated local node test directory.
5. Update local code, run the preview, and send a test request.
6. Use Issues and diagnostics to correct the source node or workspace.
