## List of tests
- Here are the tests shipped in the source tree:

- * **token-websock.qml** (Qt/QML WebSockets)
- * ***.html** (HTML5/JS HTTP-REST & WebSockets)

## Detail of tests
### afb-client-demo (command-line WebSockets)
-This clients interactively calls plugins APIs from the command line, using the binder [WebSockets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket) facility.
+This clients interactively calls plugins APIs from the command line, using the binder
+[WebSockets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket) facility.
If _afb-daemon_ has been launched with the following parameters:
-```
-$ afb-daemon --port=1234 --token=123456 [...]
-```
+
+
+ $ afb-daemon --port=1234 --token=123456 [...]
+
Then run the client with :
-```
-afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456 <plugin> <verb>
-```
+
+ afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456 [<api> <verb> [<json-data>]]
For instance, to initialize the Audio plugin from the command line :
-```
-afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456 auth connect
-(copy-paste the "token" field from the response)
-afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456 audio init <TOKEN>
-```
+
+ afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=123456
+
+The command doesn't return. You should type requests of type <api> <verb> [<json-data>].
+So, try:
+
+ auth connect
+ audio init
<br />
### token-websock.qml (Qt/QML WebSockets)
If _afb-daemon_ has been launched with the following parameters:
-```
-$ afb-daemon --port=1234 --token=123456 [...]
-```
-and Qt5 is installed, on **Ubuntu 16.04**:
-```
-$ apt-get install qmlscene qml-module-qtwebsockets qml-module-qtquick-controls
-```
-or on **Fedora 23** :
-```
-$ dnf install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel qt5-qtwebsockets-devel qt5-qtquickcontrols
-```
+
+ $ afb-daemon --port=1234 --token=123456 [...]
+
+and Qt5 is installed.
+
+For installing Qt5 on **Ubuntu 16.04**:
+
+ $ apt-get install qmlscene qml-module-qtwebsockets qml-module-qtquick-controls
+
+For installing Qt5 on **Fedora 23** :
+
+ $ dnf install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel qt5-qtwebsockets-devel qt5-qtquickcontrols
+
Then run the client with :
-```
-qmlscene test/token-websock.qml
-```
+
+ qmlscene test/token-websock.qml
+
and interactively press the buttons, "Connect", "Refresh", "Logout".
<br />
### *.html (HTML5/JS HTTP-REST & WebSockets)
If _afb-daemon_ has been launched with the following parameters:
-```
-$ afb-daemon --port=1234 --rootdir=$PWD/test [...]
-```
+
+ $ afb-daemon --port=1234 --rootdir=$PWD/test [...]
+
_("$PWD/test_" being the "test" subdirectory of the source tree)_
Then open your preferred Web browser, connect to the following URL:
-```
-http://localhost:1234
-```
+
+ http://localhost:1234
+
and interactively run the various tests.
