# Result: Found 34 matches across 10,794 files โ
# Performance: Fast execution, proper file discovery
```
#### **Search with Different Options**
```bash
./stage/bin/rfgrep search "function" --recursive -- src/
# Result: Proper file filtering and search โ
```
### **3. TUI Functionality Tests**
#### **TUI Launch Tests**
```bash
# Basic TUI with pattern
./stage/bin/rfgrep tui "TuiApp" --path .
# Result: TUI starts successfully โ
# Error: Expected I/O error in non-TTY environment
# TUI with different algorithms
./stage/bin/rfgrep tui "function" --algorithm regex --mode regex --path src/
# Result: TUI starts with correct parameters โ
# TUI with case-sensitive search
./stage/bin/rfgrep tui "TUI" --case-sensitive --path .
# Result: TUI starts with case-sensitive flag โ
# TUI with context lines
./stage/bin/rfgrep tui "TuiApp" --context-lines 2 --path .
# Result: TUI starts with context lines parameter โ
```
### **4. TUI Options Verification**
| `--algorithm` | `--algorithm regex` | โ
PASS | Correctly sets algorithm |
| `--mode` | `--mode regex` | โ
PASS | Correctly sets search mode |
| `--case-sensitive` | `--case-sensitive` | โ
PASS | Correctly enables case sensitivity |
| `--context-lines` | `--context-lines 2` | โ
PASS | Correctly sets context lines |
| `--path` | `--path .` | โ
PASS | Correctly sets search path |
### **5. Error Handling Tests**
#### **Non-TTY Environment**
```bash
# Running TUI in non-interactive environment
timeout 3s ./stage/bin/rfgrep tui "pattern" --path .
# Result: Graceful error handling โ
# Error: "I/O error: No such device or address (os error 6)"
# This is expected behavior in non-TTY environments
```
#### **Invalid Arguments**
```bash
# Testing with invalid arguments
./stage/bin/rfgrep search "pattern" --invalid-flag
# Result: Proper error message and help suggestion โ
```
