This folder contains a Vitest harness that boots the worker-side MTProto stack in Node so you can call apiManager.invokeApi(...) from a test.

The live Bot API fixture used to exercise Ephemeral Messages is documented in ../fixtures/ephemeralBot/README.md.

There is no auth flow in Node — you log in once in the browser, export the auth keys, and feed them to the harness as a JSON seed.

1. VITE_API_ID / VITE_API_HASH in .env.local at the repo root (Vitest reads .env* via Vite). Without these the harness throws.

2. A seed JSON file with auth keys for the account you want to drive.

Open https://web.telegram.org/k/?test=1 (test DC) or https://web.telegram.org/k/, log in, then run this snippet in DevTools console:

(async () => {
  const prefix = location.search.includes('test=1') ? 't_' : '';
  const get = (k) => { try { return JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(prefix + k)); } catch { return localStorage.getItem(prefix + k); } };
  const acc = get('account1') || {};
  const dcId = acc.dcId;
  const authKeys = {};
  for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    const key = acc[`dc${i}_auth_key`] || get(`dc${i}_auth_key`);
    const salt = acc[`dc${i}_server_salt`] || get(`dc${i}_server_salt`);
    if (key && salt) authKeys[i] = { key, salt };
  }
  const seed = {
    userId: Number(acc.userId),
    dcId,
    authKeys,
    timeOffset: get('server_time_offset')
  };
  console.log(JSON.stringify(seed, null, 2));
})();

Save the output as tmp/seed.json (gitignored).

TG_API_TEST=1 TG_API_SEED=./tmp/seed.json pnpm test src/tests/api

By default the harness flips Modes.test = true. To talk to production DCs instead, also set TG_API_PROD_DC=1 and use a production seed.

When TG_API_TEST is unset the api tests are skipped, so pnpm test keeps working in environments without credentials.

import {createTestClient} from './harness';

const client = await createTestClient({ seed, testDc: true });
const result = await client.apiManager.invokeApi('users.getFullUser', {
  id: { _: 'inputUserSelf' }
});

client.managers is the same registry the SharedWorker hands to the UI — use appMessagesManager, appUsersManager, etc. directly.

• nodeEnv.ts — installs polyfills for WebSocket (via ws), indexedDB (via fake-indexeddb), caches, BroadcastChannel, crypto.subtle.
• inlineCrypto.ts — registers the same crypto methods that crypto.worker.ts uses, so MTProto crypto runs in-process instead of in a separate worker.
• harness.ts — bootstraps AppStateManager + AppStoragesManager and calls createManagers(...) directly, bypassing the SharedWorker / apiManagerProxy layers entirely.
• The MTProtoMessagePort.postMessage path no-ops in test mode (superMessagePort.ts already gates on import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'), so manager → main-thread mirror calls are silently dropped.

• fake-indexeddb is in-memory only; storage is reset every test run.
• File downloads, CacheStorage and BroadcastChannel are stubbed — anything that exercises media or cross-tab sync is out of scope.
• Crypto runs inline on the event loop, not in worker_threads. Heavy auth flows can block the main thread briefly.
