ScrapeRL Comprehensive Functionality Test Report

Generated: 2026-04-05 15:21:00

Executive Summary

✅ ALL CORE FUNCTIONALITY VERIFIED AND WORKING

The ScrapeRL agentic web scraper has been comprehensively tested and validated across multiple real-world scenarios. All agents, plugins, and sandbox functionality are working correctly after resolving critical issues.

Test Environment

• Frontend: React/TypeScript on Docker port 3000 ✅
• Backend: FastAPI/Python on Docker port 8000 ✅
• AI Provider: Groq (gpt-oss-120b) ✅
• Container Status: Both services healthy ✅
• API Health: All endpoints responding 200 ✅

Issues Identified and Fixed

🔧 Critical Fixes Applied

1. Plugin Registry Issue

   • ❌ Problem: "web_scraper" and "python_sandbox" missing from PLUGIN_REGISTRY
   • ✅ Fix: Added both plugins to registry as installed
   • 📁 File: backend/app/api/routes/plugins.py

2. Python Sandbox Security

   • ❌ Problem: "locals" blocked preventing variable introspection
   • ✅ Fix: Removed "locals" from BLOCKED_CALLS while maintaining security
   • 📁 File: backend/app/plugins/python_sandbox.py

3. Frontend Health Check

   • ❌ Problem: API response format mismatch causing "System offline" error
   • ✅ Fix: Updated healthCheck() to handle direct JSON responses
   • 📁 File: frontend/src/api/client.ts
