Latest updates and improvements to the platform

@donobu/test ships an Agent Skills file for coding agents

Install a versioned Agent Skills file with donobu skills install so a coding agent working in your repo gets grounded guidance on writing and running Donobu tests instead of guessing at the API.

Localization sweeps catch shorter strings and path-prefixed locales

Locale sweeps now flag short untranslated strings like menu items and buttons, not just full sentences, and correctly handle sites that keep locales under a path prefix.

Scope an AI assertion to one part of the page

page.ai.within(subject) scopes an AI assert, extract, or locate to one region of the page, so a matching phrase elsewhere on the page can no longer cause a false pass.

July 30, 2026

AI triage investigates ambiguous failures before it explains them

When a failure is not a clean call, AI triage now runs a bounded investigation, gathering evidence such as prior AI-check results, tool call history, browser logs, and git history before it settles on an explanation.

July 11, 2026

Environment variables across every flow step, with autocomplete

Define environment variables once and reference them anywhere in a flow, including AI-driven locate and assert steps, now with autocomplete when you're typing a reference.

July 10, 2026

Recovering Gemini tool calls described in prose

Gemini models sometimes describe an action in plain text instead of issuing a structured tool call; Donobu now detects and recovers those cases instead of stalling the run.

June 4, 2026

SUPERVISED run mode: AI proposes, you approve

A new run mode where the agent proposes each action and waits for your approval before executing it, with the ability to switch between supervised and live execution mid-run.

May 27, 2026

Control panel: live directives to a running agent

The control panel can now trigger specific tools (like Audit and Assert) directly, and pass a tool-call directive into an in-progress flow.

May 23, 2026

Test Run IDs tie parallel runs together

Set DONOBU_RUN_ID once in CI and every flow produced by that run, across parallel shards and workers, gets grouped under a single identifiable test run.

May 22, 2026

Better test reports: search, filters, and sharper images

The HTML test report now supports substring search, filtering by tag, failure mode, or triage status, one-click copy for tags and file paths, and higher-resolution screenshots.

May 21, 2026

AI triage, independent of auto-heal

AI failure-triage now runs and reports on its own (grounded in the actual end-state screenshot) instead of only being available as a side effect of an auto-heal attempt.

May 15, 2026

Sign in and sync test runs to Donobu Cloud

Sign in to Donobu Studio with your Donobu account and your test runs, flows, and videos sync to Donobu Cloud automatically, so the rest of your team can see results in one place.

May 6, 2026

Organize tests into suites

Group related tests into named suites you can create, browse, and bulk-manage from the sidebar, with the same sorting, search, and pagination you already use on the main tests table.

April 19, 2026

Mobile app testing: upload an APK or .app build

Donobu now drives native mobile apps through a first-party Appium-based plugin. Upload an Android .apk or iOS .app build and author flows the same way you would for the web.

March 24, 2026

Self-healing works without a playwright.config.ts

Fixed a bug where enabling self-heal in a repo with no playwright.config.ts crashed the re-run step outright, instead of attempting a fix.

January 9, 2026

Claude Haiku and the latest GPT models

The AI Models list now includes Claude Haiku and the newest GPT-5.2 models, giving teams a faster, lower-cost option for high-volume test runs.
