 - Run a plugin manually: `python3 front/plugins/<code_name>/script.py` (ensure `sys.path` includes `/app/front/plugins` and `/app/server` like the template).
 - Testing: pytest available via Alpine packages. Tests live in `test/`; app code is under `server/`. PYTHONPATH is preconfigured to include workspace and `/opt/venv` site‑packages.
 - **Subprocess calls:** ALWAYS set explicit timeouts. Default to 60s minimum unless plugin config specifies otherwise. Nested subprocess calls (e.g., plugins calling external tools) need their own timeout - outer plugin timeout won't save you.
+- you need to set the BACKEND_API_URL setting (e.g. in teh app.conf file or via the APP_CONF_OVERRIDE env variable) to the backend api port url , e.g. https://something-20212.app.github.dev/ depending on your github codespace url.
 
 ## What “done right” looks like
 - When adding a plugin, start from `front/plugins/__template`, implement with `plugin_helper`, define manifest settings, and wire phase via `<PREF>_RUN`. Verify logs in `/tmp/log/plugins/` and data in `api/*.json`.

+# UI Testing Setup
+
+## Selenium Tests
+
+The UI test suite uses Selenium with Chrome/Chromium for browser automation and comprehensive testing.
+
+### First Time Setup (Devcontainer)
+
+The devcontainer includes Chromium and chromedriver. If you need to reinstall:
+
+```bash
+# Install Chromium and chromedriver
+apk add --no-cache chromium chromium-chromedriver nss freetype harfbuzz ca-certificates ttf-freefont font-noto
+
+# Install Selenium
+pip install selenium
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all UI tests
+pytest test/ui/
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest test/ui/test_ui_dashboard.py
+
+# Run specific test
+pytest test/ui/test_ui_dashboard.py::test_dashboard_loads
+
+# Run with verbose output
+pytest test/ui/ -v
+
+# Run and stop on first failure
+pytest test/ui/ -x
+```
+
+### What Gets Tested
+
+- ✅ **API Backend endpoints** - All Flask API endpoints work correctly
+- ✅ **Page loads** - All pages load without fatal errors (Dashboard, Devices, Network, Settings, etc.)
+- ✅ **Dashboard metrics** - Charts and device counts display
+- ✅ **Device operations** - Add, edit, delete devices via UI
+- ✅ **Network topology** - Device relationship visualization
+- ✅ **Multi-edit bulk operations** - Bulk device editing
+- ✅ **Maintenance tools** - CSV export/import, database cleanup
+- ✅ **Settings configuration** - Settings page loads and saves
+- ✅ **Notification system** - User notifications display
+- ✅ **JavaScript error detection** - No console errors on page loads
+
+### Test Organization
+
+Tests are organized by page/feature:
+
+- `test_ui_dashboard.py` - Dashboard metrics and charts
+- `test_ui_devices.py` - Device listing and CRUD operations
+- `test_ui_network.py` - Network topology visualization
+- `test_ui_maintenance.py` - Database tools and CSV operations
+- `test_ui_multi_edit.py` - Bulk device editing
+- `test_ui_settings.py` - Settings configuration
+- `test_ui_notifications.py` - Notification system
+- `test_ui_plugins.py` - Plugin management
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**"Could not start Chromium"**
+- Ensure Chromium is installed: `which chromium`
+- Check chromedriver: `which chromedriver`
+- Verify versions match: `chromium --version` and `chromedriver --version`
+
+**"API token not available"**
+- Check `/data/config/app.conf` exists and contains `API_TOKEN=`
+- Restart backend services if needed
+
+**Tests skip with "Chromium browser not available"**
+- Chromium not installed or not in PATH
+- Run: `apk add chromium chromium-chromedriver`
+
+### Writing New Tests
+
+See [TESTING_GUIDE.md](TESTING_GUIDE.md) for comprehensive examples of:
+- Button click testing
+- Form submission
+- AJAX request verification
+- File download testing
+- Multi-step workflows
+
+**Browser launch fails**
+- Alpine Linux uses system Chromium
+- Make sure chromium package is installed: `apk info chromium`
+
+**Tests timeout**
+- Increase timeout in test functions
+- Check if backend is running: `ps aux | grep python3`
+- Verify frontend is accessible: `curl http://localhost:20211`

+# UI Testing Guide
+
+## Overview
+This directory contains Selenium-based UI tests for NetAlertX. Tests validate both API endpoints and browser functionality.
+
+## Test Types
+
+### 1. Page Load Tests (Basic)
+```python
+def test_page_loads(driver):
+    """Test: Page loads without errors"""
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/page.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+    assert "fatal" not in driver.page_source.lower()
+```
+
+### 2. Element Presence Tests
+```python
+def test_button_present(driver):
+    """Test: Button exists on page"""
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/page.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+    button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "myButton")
+    assert button.is_displayed(), "Button should be visible"
+```
+
+### 3. Functional Tests (Button Clicks)
+```python
+def test_button_click_works(driver):
+    """Test: Button click executes action"""
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/page.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Find button
+    button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "myButton")
+
+    # Verify it's clickable
+    assert button.is_enabled(), "Button should be enabled"
+
+    # Click it
+    button.click()
+
+    # Wait for result
+    time.sleep(1)
+
+    # Verify action happened (check for success message, modal, etc.)
+    success_msg = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".alert-success")
+    assert len(success_msg) > 0, "Success message should appear"
+```
+
+### 4. Form Input Tests
+```python
+def test_form_submission(driver):
+    """Test: Form accepts input and submits"""
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/form.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Fill form fields
+    name_field = driver.find_element(By.ID, "deviceName")
+    name_field.clear()
+    name_field.send_keys("Test Device")
+
+    # Select dropdown
+    from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
+    dropdown = Select(driver.find_element(By.ID, "deviceType"))
+    dropdown.select_by_visible_text("Router")
+
+    # Click submit
+    submit_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, "btnSave")
+    submit_btn.click()
+
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Verify submission
+    assert "success" in driver.page_source.lower()
+```
+
+### 5. AJAX/Fetch Tests
+```python
+def test_ajax_request(driver):
+    """Test: AJAX request completes successfully"""
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/page.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Click button that triggers AJAX
+    ajax_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, "loadData")
+    ajax_btn.click()
+
+    # Wait for AJAX to complete (look for loading indicator to disappear)
+    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+        EC.invisibility_of_element((By.CLASS_NAME, "spinner"))
+    )
+
+    # Verify data loaded
+    data_table = driver.find_element(By.ID, "dataTable")
+    assert len(data_table.text) > 0, "Data should be loaded"
+```
+
+### 6. API Endpoint Tests
+```python
+def test_api_endpoint(api_token):
+    """Test: API endpoint returns correct data"""
+    response = api_get("/devices", api_token)
+
+    assert response.status_code == 200
+    data = response.json()
+    assert data["success"] == True
+    assert len(data["results"]) > 0
+```
+
+### 7. Multi-Step Workflow Tests
+```python
+def test_device_edit_workflow(driver):
+    """Test: Complete device edit workflow"""
+    # Step 1: Navigate to devices page
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/devices.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Step 2: Click first device
+    first_device = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table tbody tr:first-child a")
+    first_device.click()
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Step 3: Edit device name
+    name_field = driver.find_element(By.ID, "deviceName")
+    original_name = name_field.get_attribute("value")
+    name_field.clear()
+    name_field.send_keys("Updated Name")
+
+    # Step 4: Save changes
+    save_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, "btnSave")
+    save_btn.click()
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Step 5: Verify save succeeded
+    assert "success" in driver.page_source.lower()
+
+    # Step 6: Restore original name
+    name_field = driver.find_element(By.ID, "deviceName")
+    name_field.clear()
+    name_field.send_keys(original_name)
+    save_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, "btnSave")
+    save_btn.click()
+```
+
+## Common Selenium Patterns
+
+### Finding Elements
+```python
+# By ID (fastest, most reliable)
+element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "myButton")
+
+# By CSS selector (flexible)
+element = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".btn-primary")
+elements = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table tr")
+
+# By XPath (powerful but slow)
+element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[@type='submit']")
+
+# By link text
+element = driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Edit Device")
+
+# By partial link text
+element = driver.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "Edit")
+
+# Check if element exists (don't fail if missing)
+elements = driver.find_elements(By.ID, "optional_element")
+if len(elements) > 0:
+    elements[0].click()
+```
+
+### Waiting for Elements
+```python
+from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
+from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
+
+# Wait up to 10 seconds for element to be present
+element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "myElement"))
+)
+
+# Wait for element to be clickable
+element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+    EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "myButton"))
+)
+
+# Wait for element to disappear
+WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+    EC.invisibility_of_element((By.CLASS_NAME, "loading-spinner"))
+)
+
+# Wait for text to be present
+WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+    EC.text_to_be_present_in_element((By.ID, "status"), "Complete")
+)
+```
+
+### Interacting with Elements
+```python
+# Click
+button.click()
+
+# Type text
+input_field.send_keys("Hello World")
+
+# Clear and type
+input_field.clear()
+input_field.send_keys("New Text")
+
+# Get text
+text = element.text
+
+# Get attribute
+value = input_field.get_attribute("value")
+href = link.get_attribute("href")
+
+# Check visibility
+if element.is_displayed():
+    element.click()
+
+# Check if enabled
+if button.is_enabled():
+    button.click()
+
+# Check if selected (checkboxes/radio)
+if checkbox.is_selected():
+    checkbox.click()  # Uncheck it
+```
+
+### Handling Alerts/Modals
+```python
+# Wait for alert
+WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.alert_is_present())
+
+# Accept alert (click OK)
+alert = driver.switch_to.alert
+alert.accept()
+
+# Dismiss alert (click Cancel)
+alert.dismiss()
+
+# Get alert text
+alert_text = alert.text
+
+# Bootstrap modals
+modal = driver.find_element(By.ID, "myModal")
+assert modal.is_displayed(), "Modal should be visible"
+```
+
+### Handling Dropdowns
+```python
+from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
+
+# Select by visible text
+dropdown = Select(driver.find_element(By.ID, "myDropdown"))
+dropdown.select_by_visible_text("Option 1")
+
+# Select by value
+dropdown.select_by_value("option1")
+
+# Select by index
+dropdown.select_by_index(0)
+
+# Get selected option
+selected = dropdown.first_selected_option
+print(selected.text)
+
+# Get all options
+all_options = dropdown.options
+for option in all_options:
+    print(option.text)
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run all tests
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/
+```
+
+### Run specific test file
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/test_ui_dashboard.py
+```
+
+### Run specific test
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/test_ui_dashboard.py::test_dashboard_loads
+```
+
+### Run with verbose output
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/ -v
+```
+
+### Run with very verbose output (show page source on failures)
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/ -vv
+```
+
+### Run and stop on first failure
+```bash
+pytest test/ui/ -x
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use explicit waits** instead of `time.sleep()` when possible
+2. **Test the behavior, not implementation** - focus on what users see/do
+3. **Keep tests independent** - each test should work alone
+4. **Clean up after tests** - reset any changes made during testing
+5. **Use descriptive test names** - `test_export_csv_button_downloads_file` not `test_1`
+6. **Add docstrings** - explain what each test validates
+7. **Test error cases** - not just happy paths
+8. **Use CSS selectors over XPath** when possible (faster, more readable)
+9. **Group related tests** - keep page-specific tests in same file
+10. **Avoid hardcoded waits** - use WebDriverWait with conditions
+
+## Debugging Failed Tests
+
+### Take screenshot on failure
+```python
+try:
+    assert something
+except AssertionError:
+    driver.save_screenshot("/tmp/test_failure.png")
+    raise
+```
+
+### Print page source
+```python
+print(driver.page_source)
+```
+
+### Print current URL
+```python
+print(driver.current_url)
+```
+
+### Check console logs (JavaScript errors)
+```python
+logs = driver.get_log('browser')
+for log in logs:
+    print(log)
+```
+
+### Run in non-headless mode (see what's happening)
+Modify `test_helpers.py`:
+```python
+# Comment out this line:
+# chrome_options.add_argument('--headless=new')
+```
+
+## Example: Complete Functional Test
+
+```python
+def test_device_delete_workflow(driver, api_token):
+    """Test: Complete device deletion workflow"""
+    # Setup: Create a test device via API
+    import requests
+    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
+    test_device = {
+        "mac": "00:11:22:33:44:55",
+        "name": "Test Device",
+        "type": "Other"
+    }
+    create_response = requests.post(
+        f"{API_BASE_URL}/device",
+        headers=headers,
+        json=test_device
+    )
+    assert create_response.status_code == 200
+
+    # Navigate to devices page
+    driver.get(f"{BASE_URL}/devices.php")
+    time.sleep(2)
+
+    # Search for the test device
+    search_box = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".dataTables_filter input")
+    search_box.send_keys("Test Device")
+    time.sleep(1)
+
+    # Click delete button for the device
+    delete_btn = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn-delete")
+    delete_btn.click()
+
+    # Confirm deletion in modal
+    time.sleep(0.5)
+    confirm_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, "btnConfirmDelete")
+    confirm_btn.click()
+
+    # Wait for success message
+    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "alert-success"))
+    )
+
+    # Verify device is gone via API
+    verify_response = requests.get(
+        f"{API_BASE_URL}/device/00:11:22:33:44:55",
+        headers=headers
+    )
+    assert verify_response.status_code == 404, "Device should be deleted"
