SUCH a small thing https://github.com/scottgal/lucidRESUME/tree/master/src/Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting an Avalonia UX testing suite (ala playwright) But I USE IT IN EVERY DESKTOP app; now has the abiluty to snip regions, gesture and dragging support etc...
Like Playwright this lets you use your Avalonia UI cross platform and take screenshots (even use your code llm to loop ux implovement with full token reducing visual tree. consoleimage rendering).

Oh and lucidVIEW was made using it, new little ruler feature (annoyingly Markdown doesn;t have a set width like PDF)

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting

Built a small side-piece (and nuget package) for lucidRESUME:

Mostlylucid.Avalonia.UITesting

Basically: Playwright for Avalonia.

Script real UI flows

Take screenshots

Drive interactions

Test actual running apps (not fake headless abstractions)

Avalonia UI testing is still pretty rough (headless or Appium pain), so this just says:

"run the app, poke it like a user would, assert what happens"

I also used it to get all the readme images for lucidRESUME; and combined with ConsoleImage an LLM can 'see' your ux and therefore tune it! https://github.com/scottgal/lucidRESUME?tab=readme-ov-file
