Chat UI Response:
👤 User: what is SHAFT?
🤖 Bot: Gemini API key not configured. Please contact the site administrator
to set up the API key in GitHub Secrets.
Test Result: ✅ PASSED
Why this passed:
- ✅ Chatbot did not crash
- ✅ Error message is clear and actionable
- ✅ Message displayed in chat window (not just console)

Test Scenario: Chatbot With API Key (Expected Behavior)
Expected Steps (When GEMINI_API_KEY is configured)
- User types: "what is SHAFT?"
- Chatbot processes the query using gemini-3-flash model
- If gemini-3-flash fails/rate limited → automatically tries gemini-2.5-flash
- Bot responds with relevant information about SHAFT
Expected Response Characteristics
✅ Response should:
- Be at least 50 characters long
- Contain keywords: SHAFT, automation, framework, test
- NOT contain: "API key", "GEMINI_API_KEY", "error", "Error", "failed"
- Have relevance score ≥ 50%
✅ Example valid response:
SHAFT (Selenium Hybrid Automation Framework for Testing) is an award-winning,
all-in-one test automation framework that drives GUI (web, mobile & desktop),
API, CLI, and Database test automation with zero boilerplate code...
