Next Steps

Quick Start - Test the Implementation

1. Test Notifications (Recommended First)

Run the simple test to verify notifications work:

cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-tray
.venv/bin/python test_notification_simple.py

This will:

  • Show backend detection info
  • Send 3 test notifications (basic, critical, callback)
  • Take ~5 seconds to complete

Expected Output:

Testing OpenAdapt Notification System
============================================================
Backend: desktop-notifier
Notifier available: True

1. Sending basic notification...
   Result: True

2. Sending critical notification...
   Result: True

3. Sending notification with callback...
   Result: True

============================================================
Summary:
  Basic notification: PASS
  Critical notification: PASS
  Callback notification: PASS

All tests completed. Check Notification Center to see notifications!

What to verify:

  • Check macOS Notification Center (top-right corner)
  • You should see 3 notifications from "Python" or "OpenAdapt"
  • Notifications should appear native (not terminal-based)

2. Test Interactive Callbacks (Optional)

Run the interactive test to verify click callbacks:

.venv/bin/python test_notification.py

This script will send notifications and wait for you to click them. Follow the on-screen instructions.

3. Run All Examples (Optional)

See all notification features in action:

.venv/bin/python examples/notification_examples.py

This demonstrates 10 different notification patterns including callbacks, buttons, reply fields, etc.

What to Include in Commit

Essential files (must include):

  • src/openadapt_tray/notifications.py - Main implementation
  • src/openadapt_tray/app.py - Cleanup integration
  • pyproject.toml - Dependency added
  • uv.lock - Dependency lock file
  • README.md - Updated docs

Documentation (highly recommended):

  • NOTIFICATIONS.md - User guide
  • IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Implementation details
  • examples/notification_examples.py - Usage examples
  • examples/README.md - Examples documentation

Test scripts (optional):

  • test_notification_simple.py - Quick test
  • test_notification.py - Interactive test

Temporary files (exclude from commit):

  • COMMIT_MESSAGE.txt - Remove after committing
  • NEXT_STEPS.md - This file, remove after reading

Test in Real Application

1. Run the Tray App

cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-tray
.venv/bin/python -m openadapt_tray

2. Test Notification Scenarios

The app will show notifications when:

  • Recording starts
  • Recording stops
  • Training starts/completes
  • Errors occur
  • Captures are deleted

Trigger these by:

  • Using the menu to start/stop recording
  • Deleting a capture from the menu
  • Testing various menu actions

3. Verify Notifications

Check that:

  • Notifications appear in Notification Center
  • They look native (not terminal/script-like)
  • Clicking them doesn't cause errors
  • Multiple notifications work correctly

Troubleshooting

Notifications Not Appearing

  1. Check backend:

    .venv/bin/python -c "from openadapt_tray.notifications import NotificationManager; nm = NotificationManager(); print(f'Backend: {nm._backend}')"

    Should output: Backend: desktop-notifier

  2. Check Python signing (macOS):

    codesign -dv $(which python3)

    If unsigned, notifications may not appear. Use official python.org installer.

  3. Check Notification Center settings:

    • System Preferences → Notifications
    • Find "Python" or "Terminal"
    • Ensure notifications are enabled

Import Errors

If you see ImportError: No module named 'desktop_notifier':

cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-tray
uv sync
# or
.venv/bin/pip install desktop-notifier

Callback Not Working

This is expected in the quick test - callbacks only work when user actually clicks the notification. Try:

.venv/bin/python test_notification.py
# Then click the notification when prompted

Documentation

All documentation is available:

  • User Guide: NOTIFICATIONS.md - How to use notifications
  • Implementation: IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Technical details
  • Examples: examples/notification_examples.py - Code examples
  • API Reference: NOTIFICATIONS.md (API Reference section)

Read the docs:

# User guide
less NOTIFICATIONS.md

# Implementation details
less IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md

# Examples
