• Validate that all elements of the UI are compatible with the theme changes and maintain legibility and contrast.
• Desktop app should have shadow.
• Ensure Spell Check works.

Testing Script

1. Color Theme Selection

	•	Test: Select different color themes from the dropdown (e.g., Joi Light, Dark, etc.).
	•	Expected Behavior: The interface should immediately update to reflect the selected color theme.
	•	Verify: Ensure the theme selection persists across app restarts.

2. Interface Theme (Solid vs Translucent)

	•	Test: Toggle between Solid and Translucent options under the Interface Theme.
	•	Expected Behavior: The background should change accordingly. Solid should display a standard opaque background, while Translucent should make the background semi-transparent.
	•	Verify: Ensure the change is applied across all sections of the interface (e.g., sidebar, chat window).

3. Spell Check

	•	Test: Toggle the Spell Check option ON/OFF.
	•	Expected Behavior: When enabled, spell check should highlight misspelled words in the chat or input fields.
	•	Verify: Misspelled words should appear underlined or highlighted when Spell Check is ON. No highlighting should occur when it’s OFF.

3. Keyboard Shorcuts

• Test all shortcut keys (Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts) to confirm they function correctly.
• Ensure that all information about shortcut are displayed correctly.

4. Advanced Settings

Experimental Mode

• Test the Experimental Mode toggle to ensure it works as expected.
• When enabled, experimental features should be activated and available across the application:
  • Tools (Retrieval,...)
  • Quick Ask
  • Vulkan (on Window & Linux)

Data Folder Relocation

• Ensure the Jan Data Folder option opens the correct folder in the system.
• Ensure relocating the Jan Data Folder works.
• Ensure the app functions correctly after the data folder has been relocated.

2. Proxy and SSL Certificate

• Test downloading a model using HTTP Proxy and confirm it works according to guidelines.
• When Ignore SSL Certificates is enabled, the app should allow self-signed or unverified certificates, which may be required for certain proxies.

3. Logs and Data Management

• Confirm that logs older than 7 days or exceeding 1MB are cleared upon starting the app.
• Test that Clear Logs works.
• Validate the Reset to Factory Settings option works correctly:
  • Retain the current app data location when resetting.
  • Reset the current app data location entirely.

Testing Script

1. Experimental Mode

	•	Test: Toggle the Experimental Mode setting ON/OFF.
	•	Expected Behavior: When enabled, experimental features should be activated and available across the application.
	•	Verify: Ensure that changes are applied immediately without requiring a restart.

2. Jan Data Folder

	•	Test: Click the Jan Data Folder path and attempt to change the folder location for storing messages and user data.
	•	Expected Behavior: A dialog box should open, allowing the user to select a new directory. Once changed, the data should be stored in the newly selected folder.
	•	Verify: Ensure that the new folder location is reflected in the application and persists across restarts.

3. HTTPS Proxy

	•	Test: Enter valid proxy credentials in the HTTPS Proxy field and leave it blank to test both cases.
	•	Expected Behavior: When valid credentials are entered, the app should route network traffic through the specified proxy.
	•	Verify: Ensure that when left blank, the app reverts to the default network configuration.

4. Ignore SSL Certificates

	•	Test: Toggle the Ignore SSL Certificates option ON/OFF.
	•	Expected Behavior: When enabled, the app should allow self-signed or unverified certificates, which may be required for certain proxies.
	•	Verify: Ensure proper handling of certificates based on the setting.

5. Clear Logs

	•	Test: Click the Clear button to delete all logs from the application.
	•	Expected Behavior: All log files should be removed, and the log directory should be empty.
	•	Verify: Reopen the application and confirm that no old logs are present.

6. Reset to Factory Settings

	•	Test: Click the Reset button to restore the app to its initial state.
	•	Expected Behavior: All models, chat history, and custom settings should be erased, and the app should return to its default state.
	•	Verify: Ensure the reset is irreversible and no previous data remains after the reset is complete.

This script covers the main functionalities and settings on the Advanced Settings page, ensuring that features like proxy, data folder relocation, and factory reset work as expected. Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

4. Extensions

1. Install and Enable Extensions

• Validate the Install Extensions process by selecting and installing a plugin file.

2. Core Extensions

• Model Management (v1.0.33):

  • Ensure that Hugging Face Access Token works.

• System Monitoring (v1.0.10):

  • Ensure that Enable App Logs works.
  • Ensure that Log Cleaning Interval works.

1. Hugging Face Access Token does not work. It requires a new configuration update through cortex.cpp.
   bug: HuggingFace token set does not work #4067
   

✅ #4068

[louis-jan]

2. Somehow users could have wrong variant value due to empty string set in the settings file. Can reproduce on Linux VM instances. Probably UI implement issue, gated in feat: configure HuggingfaceToken via cortex.cpp #4068. This led to the GPU settings being enabled, but no GPU card was available. Eventually, I resorted to using the CPU -> Possibly performance degrade on CPU only mode.

✅ #4068

[louis-jan]

3. Relocated Jan Data Folder test failed due to a known issue, but was shifted to 0.5.10.

• ❌ Ensure relocating the Jan Data Folder works.
• ❌ Ensure the app functions correctly after the data folder has been relocated.

Validate the Reset to Factory Settings option works correctly:

• ❌ Retain the current app data location when resetting.
• ❌ Reset the current app data location entirely.

#4001

✅ Shifted to 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

4. Keyboard Shortcuts

These shortcuts don’t seem to work. @urmauur

[louis-jan]

5. It should not be possible for users to create a new thread using a shortcut while the welcome screen is displayed. @urmauur

✅ nits, shift to 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

6. After downloading a local model on the Welcome screen, it should be selected by default instead of a random Remote model.

✅ Scoped out the hotfix. Shift to 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

7. The server is running, but I can still adjust the context length component. Even if the model isn’t reloaded, the slider value remains unchanged.

See the input value, it's different from the slider's value - @urmauur

✅ Scoped out the hotfix. Shift to 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

8. Requests to /v1/models/{id} don’t reach the cortex.cpp server.

✅ Scoped out the hotfix. Shift to 0.5.10 (known issue on 0.5.8)

[louis-jan]

9. The API Server’s model settings don’t change - NGL 1 -> 33.

[imtuyethan]

Can't adjust Max Tokens on Windows (VM 116):

Screen_Recording_2024-11-21_at_3.50.46_PM.mov

Updated: Related to Phi 3 model issue.

[imtuyethan]

@urmauur Responsive issue: Vulkan is missing its toggle when i collapse the app.
Queued for 0.5.10.

[imtuyethan]

[louis-jan]

❌ After installing the Tensorrt-LLm extension, the models associated with it are not visible in the Model Hub.

✅ Fixed in #4075

[louis-jan]

Extension Group Management

❌ Martian (v1.0.1):
❌ Mistral (v1.0.1):
Given that the keys are invalid or out of credits. We’ll find a way to test in 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

App Logging
❌ The clean app log interval is now only applicable for Jan app. There is also cortex.cpp log settings.

✈️ 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

Users should be able to edit the message, and the assistant will re-generate the answer based on the edited version of the message.

❌ Editing the sender’s message should not send the previous replaced messages. This is a legacy issue.

✈️ 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

It seems like that a few parameters are being brought over from cortex.cpp, but they haven’t been rounded properly.

✈️ 0.5.10

[louis-jan]

❌ The input for the top words should accept a space as a new end token. However, it currently does not accept this, resulting in the new token being merged into the previous token. For now, users have to insert back the space after finalized.

✈️ 0.5.10

@urmauur Can't open right sidebar:

Import model from HF: https://huggingface.co/latestissue/rwkv-6-world-1b6-gguf
It does not show model size:

Some can run, some took super long to start the model.

Encountered this issue why updating new version on Windows 10:

[imtuyethan]

If users have no GPU, should not show Vulkan option, otherwise it introduces this:

✈️ 0.5.10

[imtuyethan]

Before we release, need to fix 2 important issues:

1. Can't adjust parameters in API server.
2. bug: Factory reset operation timeout #4001

The rest of the issues go to v0.5.10.
