Skill instructions
Running Tests Overview Tests in this repository use the Microsoft.ClientModel.TestFramework and NUnit. Many tests rely on session recordings — pre-recorded HTTP interactions stored in tests/SessionRecords/ — so they can run without live service access. The repository defaults to Playback mode unless overridden in the environment. Test Modes | Mode | Description | |------|-------------| | Playback | Tests run against pre-recorded session data in tests/SessionRecords/. No API key is required. | | Record | Tests run against the live OpenAI API and produce or update session recordings. Requires an API key. | | Live | Tests run against the live OpenAI API without producing or updating session recordings. Requires an API key. | The mode is controlled by the CLIENTMODELTESTMODE environment variable and accepts Playback, Record, or Live. In Playback mode, the framework may attempt to auto-record when a session recording is missing or stale. Disable that behavior by explicitly setting CLIENTMOD
