# 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](https://docs.getnimbus.io/sui-ai-agent/guides/setup) 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.

## Interactive Modes

### Available Modes

1. **Chat Mode**
   Allows you to interact with the agent in a conversational manner.
2. **Autonomous Mode**
   Enables the agent to perform actions on the blockchain autonomously at regular intervals.

### Starting the Agent

1. **Launch the Agent**

```
pnpm start
```

2. **Select Your Mode**

* For Chat Mode: Enter `1` or `chat`
* For Autonomous Mode: Enter `2` or `auto`

### Using Each Mode

#### Chat Mode

* Start chatting by entering prompts after the Prompt: indicator
* Type exit to end the chat session

#### Autonomous Mode

* The agent executes predefined actions every 10 seconds
* Actions and outputs are displayed in the console

## Best Practices

### Environment Setup

* Verify .env file contains correct and secure values
* Ensure all required environment variables are set

### Testing

* Maintain comprehensive test coverage
* Monitor console logs during testing
* Clean up test assets after deployment

## Troubleshooting

### Test Failures

#### Missing Environment Variables

* **Issue**: Tests fail due to missing environment variables
* **Solution**: Check .env file for all required variables

#### Network Problems

* **Issue**: Network-related errors
* **Solution**: Verify internet connection and Solana RPC endpoint accessibility

### Agent Issues

#### Startup Problems

* **Issue**: Agent doesn’t prompt for mode selection
* **Solution**: Verify successful build and dependency installation
