How to Test it out

Testing the Sui Agent Kit helps confirm that all functionalities are working as intended. You can perform automated tests or interact with the agent in various modes to validate its operations.

​
Running Automated Tests

The project includes a test script located at test/index.ts. To execute the tests:
  1. Ensure Dependencies are Installed If you haven’t installed the dependencies yet, refer to the Setup Locally guide.
  2. Run the Test Script 
pnpm run test
This will run the test/index.ts script using ts-node. Ensure that your environment variables are correctly set in the .env file before running the tests.

​
