Web Interaction Capabilities

Remote Browser Functionality

Bwat's remote browser integration enables direct interaction with web content through a managed Chrome instance, providing developers with powerful testing and analysis tools while maintaining security and control.

Core Features

The remote browser allows Bwat to:

• Render and navigate web pages
• Test locally hosted applications
• Interact with page elements (clicks, form input, scrolling)
• Capture visual snapshots
• Monitor console output and network activity

Implementation Guide

Basic Commands

Developers can initiate browser actions through natural language instructions:

• Page Navigation: "Open https://example.com (opens in a new tab) in the browser"
• Element Interaction: "Click the submit button with ID 'form-submit'"
• Content Input: "Enter test credentials in the login fields"
• Viewport Control: "Scroll to the page footer"
• Session Management: "Terminate the current browser session"

Practical Applications

Local Development Testing

Launch the development server and verify the dashboard renders correctly at http://localhost:8080

Technical Considerations

Session Management

• Single active browser instance
• Requires explicit session termination before file operations
• Fixed 900x600 viewport (configurable)

Debugging Support

• Automatic console log capture
• Visual confirmation via screenshots
• Network request monitoring

Configuration Requirements

For WSL environments:

Windows Firewall Configuration (Admin PowerShell):

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WSL Chrome Access" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9222 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow

VS Code Settings:

Set Bwat: Chrome Executable Path to Chrome's installation location

Example: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Best Practices

• Terminate sessions before switching to code editing
• Use precise element selectors for interactions
• Verify URLs include protocol specifiers (http/https)
• Review console logs for diagnostic information
• Utilize screenshots for visual verification

This functionality bridges the gap between automated testing and AI-assisted development, providing real-time feedback while maintaining security through controlled execution.
