Final Summary - Chatbot Fix Implementation

Issue Fixed​

Original Issue: Gemini API 404 error when sending messages to the chatbot

[GoogleGenerativeAI Error]: Error fetching from https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash:generateContent: [404] models/gemini-1.5-flash is not found for API version v1beta

Solution Implemented​

1. Updated to Latest Gemini Models​

  • Primary Model: gemini-3-flash (latest available model)
  • Fallback Model: gemini-2.5-flash (automatic fallback for rate limits)
  • Fallback Logic: Automatically tries fallback if primary model fails or hits rate limit

2. Standardized Environment Variables​

  • Removed all REACT_APP_GEMINI_API_KEY references
  • Standardized to GEMINI_API_KEY across entire codebase
  • Updated workflows, configs, documentation, and tests

3. Comprehensive Testing Framework​

API Tests (tests/chatbot-api.test.js)​

  • Model availability testing
  • Response relevance testing with keyword matching
  • Full chat conversation display in test output
  • Comprehensive error handling (unhandled promises, uncaught exceptions)

E2E Tests (tests/chatbot-e2e.test.js)​

  • Playwright-based UI interaction tests
  • Screenshot capture for visual verification
  • Chat window opening and interaction validation

Test Runner (tests/run-all-tests.js)​

  • Unified test execution
  • Automatic report generation
  • Detailed evidence collection
