Setup Wizard

The setup wizard (npm run setup) guides you through configuring the tool for first-time use. It creates or updates config.json with your qTest connection, SeaLights token, and Test Design mapping.

npm run setup

If config.json already exists, the wizard uses your existing values as defaults. Press Enter to keep any value unchanged.

What the Wizard Configures

1

qTest Connection

Enter your qTest instance URL and credentials. The wizard validates the connection before proceeding.

2

Default Project

Choose which qTest project to use as the default. The wizard lists all projects your account can access.

3

SeaLights Connection

Paste your SeaLights agent token. The wizard extracts the backend URL and customer ID automatically.

4

Test Design Mapping

Navigate the qTest Test Design folder tree and select the root folder whose sub-folders should become SeaLights test stages. All direct children of the selected folder are mapped automatically.

5

Save Configuration

A summary is displayed and config.json is written to disk.

Troubleshooting Setup

Issue	Solution
"Invalid credentials"	Double-check your qTest username and password
"Connection refused"	Verify the qTest URL — it should end with /
"No projects found"	Ensure your account has access to at least one project
"Invalid token"	Re-generate your SeaLights token from the SeaLights dashboard
"No modules found"	Ensure your qTest project has folders in the Test Design section
Server errors (5xx)	The wizard automatically retries 3 times — wait a moment and try again
Step failed	Choose [R] to retry, [B] to go back, or [Q] to quit and re-run later

Run npm run setup -- --debug to see detailed error output.

When to Re-run Setup

• When new test stage folders are added to qTest Test Design

• When the SeaLights token expires or needs to be rotated

• After changing the default project

• After changing qTest credentials

Re-running setup preserves your existing mappings and only updates the fields you change.
