Testing Instructions - Report Generation Feature

Quick Test Guide

Step 1: Start the Development Server

From the project root directory, run:

.\start-all-servers-windowed.ps1

Or manually start the frontend:

cd frontend
npm run dev

The frontend will be available at: http://localhost:5180 (or http://localhost:5173)

Step 2: Navigate to Phase V

  1. Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:5180
  2. Navigate to the RF Module Designer tab
  3. Complete Phases I-IV (or use existing design data)
  4. Navigate to Phase V: Schematic & Verification

Step 3: Test the Report Generator Button

What to Look For:

  1. Button Visibility:
  2. ✅ "Generate Report" button should appear in the top-right of Phase V header
  3. ✅ Button should have emerald/green styling

  4. ✅ Button should have a document icon

  5. Button Click:

  6. ✅ Click the "Generate Report" button

  7. ✅ Modal should open with:

    • Title: "Generate Design Report"
    • Project Name input field (pre-filled with design name)
    • Company Name input field (optional)
    • "Report Sections (Coming Soon)" message
    • Cancel button
    • Generate Report button (disabled if project name is empty)

  8. Modal Functionality:

  9. ✅ Enter a project name → "Generate Report" button should become enabled
  10. ✅ Click "Cancel" → Modal should close
  11. ✅ Click "Generate Report" → Should show alert with options (placeholder for now)

What's Currently Implemented (Steps 1-8)

✅ Completed:

  • Step 1: Report types file (frontend/src/types/report.ts)
  • Step 2: Data aggregator service skeleton
  • Step 3: PDF generator service skeleton
  • Step 4: Report generator component skeleton
  • Step 5: Report generator modal component
  • Step 8: Button integrated in Phase V

🔜 Coming Next:

  • Step 6: Slides directory structure
  • Step 7: First slide component (Cover Page)
  • Step 9+: Data aggregation implementation
  • Step 15+: PDF generation implementation

Testing Checklist

Basic Functionality

  • Button appears in Phase V
  • Button is clickable
  • Modal opens when button clicked
  • Modal closes when Cancel clicked
  • Modal closes when X button clicked
  • Project name input works
  • Company name input works
  • Generate button enables/disables based on project name

Visual/UI

  • Button styling matches app theme (emerald/teal)
  • Modal styling is consistent
  • Dark mode works (if applicable)
  • Responsive on mobile (if testing mobile)

Error Handling

  • No console errors when opening modal
  • No console errors when closing modal
  • No TypeScript errors in browser console
  • No React warnings

Expected Behavior

Current State (Steps 1-8):

  • Button: ✅ Visible and functional
  • Modal: ✅ Opens and closes correctly
  • Form: ✅ Basic inputs work
  • Generate: ⚠️ Shows alert (placeholder - will be implemented in later steps)

What Happens When You Click "Generate Report":

Currently, it will: 1. Show an alert with the options object 2. Close the modal 3. Log to console: Generate Report clicked with options: {...}

This is expected behavior - actual PDF generation will be implemented in later steps.

Troubleshooting

"Button doesn't appear"

  • ✅ Check that you're in Phase V
  • ✅ Check browser console for errors
  • ✅ Verify ReportGeneratorModal import is correct
  • ✅ Hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R)
  • ✅ Check browser console for errors
  • ✅ Verify React state is working
  • ✅ Check that modal component is imported correctly

"TypeScript errors"

  • ✅ Run: cd frontend && npm run build to check for compilation errors
  • ✅ Check that all imports are correct
  • ✅ Verify types are properly exported

"Styling issues"

  • ✅ Check that Tailwind CSS classes are working
  • ✅ Verify dark mode classes if using dark mode
  • ✅ Check browser DevTools for CSS conflicts

Next Steps After Testing

Once you've verified Steps 1-8 work correctly:

  1. Continue Implementation:
  2. Steps 9-14: Data aggregation
  3. Steps 15-20: PDF generation infrastructure

  4. Steps 21-50: Individual slide implementations

  5. Report Issues:

  6. Note any bugs or unexpected behavior
  7. Check browser console for errors
  8. Verify all imports are correct

Development Notes

  • All files are in new directories (ReportGenerator/, reportGenerator/)
  • No existing code was modified (except PhaseV.tsx for integration)
  • All changes are backward compatible
  • TypeScript compilation should pass without errors
