Test Cypress Audio

The purpose of the repo is to see if we can run a cypress on GitHub Actions, such that it mock a microphone audio device with a test file.

The reason for investigating this is to see whether GitHub Actions and Cypress could be used to create persistent fake users in a High Fidelity space.

This would allow push-button access to having fake users in spaces, like:

  • DJs who play music for an hour and then leave
  • Ocean wave sounds coming from a beach
  • Koisk-like narration of spaces or exhibits
  • Stretch goal: Automated walking tours of spaces

Usage

(This process isn't ideal, but is the current way to use this yourself.)

  1. Clone this repo.
  2. npm install
  3. Drop your preferred WAV audio file into place at cypress/fixtures/audio.wav
  4. Edit file cypress/integration/hifi-fake-user.spec.js to hardcode your own preferences in config.

    • Current configuration is for the fake user to appear behind the turntables onstage in the default HQ map.

    • If you'd like to set a new position and orientation, experiment with moving your own avatar into place, and then click:

      Menu (top-left) > Invite

      You can find the x and y position and the o orientation in the URL it provides.

  5. npm run fake-user
