HelpMeTest CLI v1.85.0

New Features

  • --screenshots shorthand filter: helpmetest test run and helpmetest updates now accept --screenshots to show only screenshot events, matching the existing --keywords/--errors/--results shorthand pattern — no need to remember the underlying filter syntax.
  • DOM diff for interactive sessions: helpmetest interactive --dom-diff (and interactive review --dom-diff) can now summarize exactly what changed on the page between commands — elements added, removed, or with attribute/text changes — reusing the same mutation stream already recorded for session replay.

Improvements

  • Parallel test runs preview what's about to happen: While a test is still queued for a VM slot, its row now shows the first step it will run (e.g. the URL it will navigate to) instead of a bare "queued" label with no context.

Bug Fixes

  • First keyword row could get stuck showing no result: In a single test run, the first step (commonly Go To) could intermittently stay frozen on its initial placeholder — no checkmark, no elapsed time — even though the step had actually finished successfully. Caused by a rare startup race where the keyword list was reset right after a step had already started; the fix makes result updates match on the step itself instead of requiring it to still be in a specific in-progress state.
  • Duplicate internal bookkeeping in the terminal test renderer: removed a copy-pasted code block that could double-count nested keyword depth and misclassify some keyword events.
