Per-Test Overrides

Override provider settings in a specific test file using the [overrides.provider] section. This lets different tests use different timeouts, system prompts, or base URLs without changing the global config.

Usage

name = "Long-running integration test"

[overrides.provider]
extra_system_prompt = "Be concise. Skip screenshots."
step_timeout_secs = 600
base_url = "http://localhost:5000"

[[steps]]
instruction = "Run the full data import and verify row counts"

What can be overridden

Field	Description
extra_system_prompt	Additional context for the agent (replaces global value)
step_timeout_secs	Default timeout per step for this test
base_url	Base URL for this test

The override completely replaces the global value for that field — it doesn’t merge or append.

Example: different base URLs

A project with multiple services on different ports:

api.test.toml

name = "API tests"

[overrides.provider]
base_url = "http://localhost:3000"

[[steps]]
instruction = "GET /api/health and verify status is ok"

admin.test.toml

name = "Admin API tests"

[overrides.provider]
base_url = "http://localhost:3001"

[[steps]]
instruction = "GET /admin/stats and verify uptime is present"
