# Manual test: WhatsApp pairing end-to-end Run this checklist on every release that touches the pairing flow. It can't be automated — pairing requires a real phone scanning a QR. ## Prerequisites - `.env.development` filled in with real values. - `scripts/db.sh migrate && scripts/db.sh seed` ran clean. - `scripts/dev.sh up` is running; `scripts/dev.sh logs bot` is tailing. - Dev WhatsApp mock account installed on a test phone (NOT brother's prod accounts). - Dev Telegram bot opened in Telegram. ## Steps 1. Send `/start` to the dev bot. Expected: welcome message. 2. Send `/help`. Expected: command list including `/pair`. 3. Send `/pair "Test Account 1"`. Expected: - Reply: "📡 Starting pairing for 'Test Account 1'..." - Within ~5 seconds, a QR PNG arrives. 4. On the test phone: WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device → scan the QR. 5. Within ~5 seconds expect Telegram replies: - "✅ 'Test Account 1' connected as +60xxxxxxx" (your test phone number). - "Synced N groups. Ready to send reminders." (N = number of WA groups). 6. Send `/accounts`. Expected: "• Test Account 1 (+60xxx) — db:connected live:connected". 7. Send `/groups "Test Account 1"`. Expected: bulleted list of groups. 8. Verify in Postgres: ```bash NO_SUDO=1 scripts/dev.sh exec sh -c 'cd packages/db && pnpm exec tsx -e " (async () => { const { Pool } = await import(\"pg\"); const p = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL }); console.log(\"accounts:\", (await p.query(\"SELECT label, status, phone_number FROM whatsapp_accounts\")).rows); console.log(\"groups:\", (await p.query(\"SELECT count(*) FROM whatsapp_groups\")).rows); console.log(\"audit:\", (await p.query(\"SELECT action FROM audit_log ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 5\")).rows); await p.end(); })(); "' ``` Expected: account connected, groups present, audit shows `account.paired`. 9. Restart the bot: `NO_SUDO=1 scripts/dev.sh restart-bot`. Expected: in logs, "session-manager: state change connecting → connected" for the test account, no QR re-prompt. 10. Send `/unpair "Test Account 1"`. Expected: - Reply: "🗑 'Test Account 1' unpaired. Session files deleted." - `whatsapp_accounts.status` is `logged_out`. - Directory `dev-data/sessions//` is gone. ## Failure modes to verify - **QR expiry:** ignore the QR for 30s. Bot edits the same Telegram message with a new QR (no second photo). Repeat 3-5 times to verify edits keep working. - **Wrong-account `/pair`:** as a non-whitelisted Telegram user, send `/pair "X"`. Expected: "Sorry, this bot is private." - **Re-pair while connected:** send `/pair "Test Account 1"` again immediately after step 5. Expected: "already connected. Use /unpair first." ## Sign-off - [ ] All steps passed - [ ] Postgres rows match expectations - [ ] No errors in `scripts/dev.sh logs bot` - [ ] Tester: ____________ Date: ____________
