Testing EleSync Web Dashboard

A guide for running end-to-end tests against the EleSync web dashboard on Windows. It documents the required Python, Chrome, configuration, and launch commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install test dependencies, create isolated test data, start the dashboard, and automate checks with tools such as PyAutoGUI.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when preparing the Windows test environment and helps avoid setup problems such as missing paths, encoding issues, or a first-run prompt blocking the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Testing EleSync Web Dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Testing the EleSync Web Dashboard

Devin Secrets Needed

  • None beyond standard Windows admin access.

Required tools / paths

  • Python environment at C:\devin\python\python.exe; ele is installed as C:\devin\python\Scripts\ele.exe and is not on PATH.
  • Chrome for Testing binary at C:\devin\chrome\chrome-win64\chrome.exe.
  • pyautogui + Pillow are useful for UI automation; they are not preinstalled.

Setup

  1. Install/refresh dependencies:
    python -m pip install -e .[dev]
    python -m pip install pyautogui Pillow
    
  2. Create an isolated APPDATA directory and a temp vault directory.
  3. Write config.json at %APPDATA%\EleSync\config.json:
    {"vault_dir": "<VAULT>", "first_run_setup": true}
    
    Use Python's json.dump (no BOM) to avoid UTF-8 BOM decode failures.

Launching the server

set APPDATA=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\<test>\appdata
C:\devin\python\Scripts\ele.exe --vault <VAULT> web --no-browser --port 7477

Watch out: on the first launch ele may prompt for a language choice and wait for stdin. In a batch file this can hang; run it inside an interactive or PTY-backed shell so the default (English) is selected, or pre-configure the language. Wait until netstat -ano | findstr 7477 shows LISTENING.

Browser automation tips

  • Do not rely on the DevTools/CDP helper in this environment; Chrome for Testing does not expose a usable CDP endpoint for the agent.
  • Use pyautogui with a fresh Chrome profile (--no-first-run --start-maximized --user-data-dir=<profile>).
  • Screen resolution is 1280x720; maximize Chrome to keep UI coordinates stable.
  • Keyboard shortcuts in the dashboard are the most reliable navigation:
    • n → Add memory (only works when no input is focused)
    • Ctrl+K, type Add memory or Search, Enter → command palette navigation
    • / → focus search input
  • The first-run modal can be dismissed by clicking the purple Finish setup button (with the passcode checkbox unchecked).
  • The content textarea in the Add page is a large white box centered around screen (525, 283) at 1280x720.
  • The Save memory button is the purple button in the lower-left of the Add page.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Testing EleSync Web Dashboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository darknodebros/EleSync (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 927 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
