⚠️ Deprecated: TestBase Containers

This documentation section is deprecated and no longer maintained.

What changed?

Testbase has simplified its architecture:

Old (deprecated):

• Cloud Run containers with complex lifecycle management
• Separate container provisioning and management
• Container-specific APIs and SDKs

New (current):

• Simple GCE VM with Codex SDK execution
• CloudRuntime for seamless local ↔ cloud switching
• Unified agent interface

What to use instead

For cloud execution

Use CloudRuntime with the Agents SDK:

import { Agent, run, CloudRuntime } from 'computer-agents';
 
const runtime = new CloudRuntime({
  apiKey: process.env.TESTBASE_API_KEY
});
 
const agent = new Agent({
  agentType: 'computer',
  runtime,
  workspace: './project'
});
 
const result = await run(agent, 'Create app.py');

See Cloud Platform for complete documentation.

For local execution

Use LocalRuntime with the Agents SDK:

import { Agent, run, LocalRuntime } from 'computer-agents';
 
const runtime = new LocalRuntime();
 
const agent = new Agent({
  agentType: 'computer',
  runtime,
  workspace: './project'
});
 
const result = await run(agent, 'Create app.py');

See Agents SDK for complete documentation.

Migration guide

If you were using container-specific APIs:

Key benefit: No manual container management! Just create an agent and run tasks.

Where to go

• Get Started - Install and run your first agent
• Architecture - Understand current architecture
• Agents SDK - Learn about agent types and workflows
• Cloud Platform - Deploy to production

The new architecture is simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Start there!
