Chatwright CLI
The command-line entry point for Chatwright — deterministic and AI-driven testing for conversational applications.
Module chatwright.dev/cli, binary chatwright. The CLI is deliberately
thin: platform emulation and the testing runtime live in
chatwright.dev/runtime, and the
run-bundle wire model in
chatwright.dev/sdk; this binary
fronts them from a terminal.
Install
Canonical (macOS/Linux):
curl -fsSL https://chatwright.dev/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://chatwright.dev/install.ps1 | iex
Homebrew (macOS):
brew install --cask chatwright/tap/chatwright
Go-native:
go install chatwright.dev/cli/cmd/chatwright@latest
Usage
chatwright <command>
Commands:
platforms List built-in messaging platform emulators
arena Run and report on the actor-model arena (chatwright arena help)
version Print the CLI, runtime and sdk versions
help Show this help
chatwright version reports the CLI's own version plus the resolved
sdk/runtime module versions it was built against, and the supported
run-bundle format id.
Actor-model arena
Compares actor models (Ollama, LM Studio, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
on the same Chatwright scenario — see
chatwright.dev/runtime/arena
and spec/ideas/actor-model-arena.md
in the standard repository:
chatwright arena run --config arena.yaml --out ./arena-run
chatwright arena report --dir ./arena-run # recompute report.md later, no re-run
arena run writes bundles/ (one replayable run-bundle per cell),
report.md (the comparison table) and results.json (machine-readable) into
--out. See arena.example.yaml for a documented
starting config.

server
daemon.go implements the process lifecycle behind `chatwright server start`/`stop`: writing and reading a PID file, detecting a stale one (the recorded process no longer exists), re-executing this same binary as a detached `server serve` child, and terminating it again.
