Highlights

Remote execution on LambdaTest HyperExecute is now available via --remote, letting you run tests on the grid without leaving the CLI. The plugin system arrives with kane-cli plugin install, bringing a structured way to extend kane-cli with team-managed binaries. Local runs also get smarter consolidation: authored and replayed evidence merge into one clean, coverage-accurate execution.

[0.8.4] - 2026-08-18

Remote execution on the grid

  • Run tests on LambdaTest HyperExecute with --remote — kane-cli dispatches your test run through the backend, spawns a HyperExecute job, and streams progress back to your terminal with the job ID and a sessions path.
  • Automatic HyperExecute setup — kane-cli plugin install sets up remote execution and places it where kane-cli expects it. kane-cli doctor tells you whether the setup, auth, and gitignore gate are all ready before you dispatch.
  • Grid login now uses the right environment — remote runs pass --env correctly, preventing stage credentials from being rejected against production endpoints. Chrome discovery is also handled automatically on the grid.

Plugin system

  • New kane-cli plugin command — install, list, and remove plugins with kane-cli plugin install, kane-cli plugin list, and kane-cli plugin remove. An allowlist controls which plugins kane-cli will load.
  • Plugins install into a versioned local layout — installed plugins materialize bundled assets into a cwd-local directory, so plugin versions are tied to your project rather than a global state.
  • kane-cli doctor covers plugin readiness — the readiness report flags a missing HyperExecute binary as an error (the plugin owns it), so you know exactly what to fix before running.

Smarter local run consolidation

  • Authored and replayed evidence merge into one published execution — after a run that includes both authored and replay members, kane-cli reconciles them into a single pack with kane merge rules applied, coverage recomputed, and facts synced into the local graph.
  • Author members no longer cause a preflight failure — members are now classified as replay or author; author-class members run standalone with their own pack and are folded into the consolidated result at reconcile.
  • --from-context selects members by assurance test IDs — and automatically follows edit supersessions, so only tombstoned tests are excluded.
  • Gate auto-defaults now match local behavior — project_folder_auto_defaulted surfaces in local runs the same way it does on the grid.

A clearer terminal view

  • Evidence table now works in TTY and non-TTY modes — TTY sessions get an interactive multi-pack evidence table with progress and a result box; non-TTY sessions get serve commands for each evidence row.
  • Remote runs render again in the TTY view — a missing event-surface hook (willMountTTYView) was preventing the themed progress and result box from appearing during --remote runs.
  • Evidence display errors never flip the verdict — a throw in the evidence presentation layer is now isolated, so a display bug cannot change the exit code of a passing run.
  • Exit codes derive from reconcile verdicts — the terminal status and exit code are now grounded in what reconcile actually decided, not an earlier assumption.

testmd improvements

  • testmd run accepts --target, --device, and --app — device meta fields are carried through the evidence environment, so runs targeting specific devices report the right context.
