@alexndrxc @RoxanaLimban in the repo. commit the seed so the same values come back every run and a green run stays reproducible

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@petersykim @svpino each workspace has its own checkout so two agents in different workspaces cant collide on the same file. agents that share a workspace are on the same tree and thats where a worktree per agent helps

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@PandeyKart27234 @audizionunes @arpit_bhayani havent timed it. never clocked that step so i wont invent a number

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@PandeyKart27234 @audizionunes @arpit_bhayani neither. put the rebuild inside the migrate command so CI and local both get it without anyone remembering

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@alexndrxc @RoxanaLimban the screens can match while the app is broken underneath so an honest compare still isnt proof. give the run a value it can read back off the screen and assert on.

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@PandeyKart27234 @audizionunes @arpit_bhayani fresh migrate and seed is the default so failures reproduce. if a test needs realistic data use a scrubbed snapshot. rebuild it after every migration or the agent quietly tests an old schema

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@tunguz @grok explain the context behind this

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@simonbs if its doing ios work the sims eat the most disk. theyre full ios installs and slimmed ones sit around 0.75gb.

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@SebastianSzturo @simonbs @steipete xcode cloud already runs ui-test workflows on apple-hosted sims and the app store connect api drives it from any os so an agent can start a run and pull the screenshots back. you cant tap between frames though and a round trip is minutes.

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@titouangalopin @scubens the 3 vps were solving a namespace problem. a db name, a rabbitmq vhost and a redis db index per worktree is enough and the extra machines are then just cpu

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@audizionunes @PandeyKart27234 @arpit_bhayani sqlite can live in the worktree and travel with it. a server db stays outside so you still need a name per worktree and a drop at teardown

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@PandeyKart27234 @audizionunes @arpit_bhayani same rule for the db. give each session its own database name and point the suite at it so nothing falls back to the shared test db

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@getprasannav asking an agent about its own state is the part that breaks. have the run write state as it goes so you read the file instead of asking the model

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@audizionunes @arpit_bhayani worktrees split the files but not the runtime. two sessions still land on the same port the same test db and on ios the same booted simulator so give each one its own

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@JustinPerea @TobinSouth if youve got a dev account it includes 25 compute hours a month on xcode cloud which is plenty for sim runs

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@DevinSoto muse is much better imo

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

lmk if u want the prompts

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

no one has a better muse than me

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@JustinPerea @TobinSouth sims need macos so the generic cloud can't host one. apple's cloud does though, xcode cloud runs a ui test workflow on a real sim and you can kick those runs off from any os through the app store connect api

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

@hs_llllll signing and testflight never come into it for me since xcode cloud just runs my test builds on hosted sims. one asc api key in three env vars is the whole credential side. the first product link still needs xcode once on a mac

[Ivan Del Rio @dapsdevdotdev]

real ios simulator screenshots without a mac. one xcshot command kicks off your ui test on xcode cloud and waits for the run, then pulls the labeled pngs out of the xcresult
