HeroCard Actions with button about alarm-bot-unit-testing HOT 5 OPEN

good to know! thanks!

@wolfejw86 - no, since the only input/output for those tests is textual. You can't simulate a mouse/component action.

Actually this is not true! I just discovered that the text of a button is passed like a query string parameter:
action?SetAlarm=<data to pass>
If you set this as an:

{
  out: `action?SetAlarm=<data to pass>`
}

it will actually interact with the hero card! Potentially this could help a lot of folks who are trying to use this method of testing.

If it's supposed to simulate the text of a button, it should be something like:

{
  out: `<button text>`
}

not just simulate, but actually trigger. what i posted above will actually trigger the action of a user clicking a button on a HeroCard or something similar. Very useful when working with integration tests. Not sure if this is the right place for this discovery, but I found it very useful and thought I'd share.
