# Testing DevUI - Quick Setup Guide
Here are the step-by-step instructions to test the new DevUI feature:
## 1. Get the Code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework.git
cd agent-framework
```
(or use the latest main branch if merged)
## 2. Setup Environment
Navigate to the Python directory and install dependencies:
```bash
cd python
uv sync --dev
source .venv/bin/activate
```
## 3. Configure Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file in the `python/` directory with your API credentials:
```bash
# Copy the example file
cp .env.example .env
```
Then edit `.env` and add your API keys:
```bash
# For OpenAI (minimum required)
OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL_ID="gpt-4o-mini"
# Or for Azure OpenAI
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="your-endpoint"
AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="your-deployment-name"
```
## 4. Test DevUI
**Option A: In-Memory Mode (Recommended for quick testing)**
```bash
cd packages/devui/samples
python in_memory_mode.py
```
This runs a simple example with predefined agents and opens your browser automatically at http://localhost:8090
**Option B: Directory-Based Discovery**
```bash
cd packages/devui/samples
devui
```
This launches the UI with all example agents/workflows at http://localhost:8080
## 5. What You'll See
- A web interface for testing agents interactively
- Multiple example agents (weather assistant, general assistant, etc.)
- OpenAI-compatible API endpoints for programmatic access
## 6. API Testing (Optional)
You can also test via API calls:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/responses \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "agent-framework",
"input": "What is the weather in Seattle?",
"extra_body": {"entity_id": "weather_agent"}
}'
```
## API Mapping
Messages and events from agents/workflows are mapped to OpenAI response types in `agent_framework_devui/_mapper.py`. See the mapping table below:
| Agent Framework Content | OpenAI Event | Type |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------- |
| `TextContent` | `ResponseTextDeltaEvent` | Official |
| `TextReasoningContent` | `ResponseReasoningTextDeltaEvent` | Official |
| `FunctionCallContent` | `ResponseFunctionCallArgumentsDeltaEvent` | Official |
| `FunctionResultContent` | `ResponseFunctionResultComplete` | Custom |
| `ErrorContent` | `ResponseErrorEvent` | Official |
| `UsageContent` | `ResponseUsageEventComplete` | Custom |
| `DataContent` | `ResponseTraceEventComplete` | Custom |
| `UriContent` | `ResponseTraceEventComplete` | Custom |
| `HostedFileContent` | `ResponseTraceEventComplete` | Custom |
| `HostedVectorStoreContent` | `ResponseTraceEventComplete` | Custom |
| `FunctionApprovalRequestContent` | Custom event | Custom |
| `FunctionApprovalResponseContent` | Custom event | Custom |
| `WorkflowEvent` | `ResponseWorkflowEventComplete` | Custom |
## Frontend Development
To build the frontend:
```bash
cd frontend
yarn install
# Create .env.local with backend URL
echo 'VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000' > .env.local
# Create .env.production (empty for relative URLs)
echo '' > .env.production
# Development
yarn dev
# Build (copies to backend)
yarn build
```
## Troubleshooting
- **Missing API key**: Make sure your `.env` file is in the `python/` directory with valid credentials. Or set environment variables directly in your shell before running DevUI.
- **Import errors**: Run `uv sync --dev` again to ensure all dependencies are installed
- **Port conflicts**: DevUI uses ports 8080 and 8090 by default - close other services using these ports
