Test Architect (TEA)

Install TEA Behind a Corporate Firewall

Section titled “Install TEA Behind a Corporate Firewall”

If the BMAD installer runs but cannot fetch the Test Architect module from GitHub, point it at a local clone or an internal Git mirror.

  1. Clone TEA locally, or use your internal Git mirror:

    Terminal window
    git clone /path/to/your/internal/mirror/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise \
      /path/to/local/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

  2. Edit the module list in the BMAD repo you run the installer from, at BMAD-METHOD/tools/cli/external-official-modules.yaml, so the TEA entry points at your local path. url: accepts a local filesystem path or an internal Git mirror URL:

    bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise:
      url: /path/to/local/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise
      module-definition: src/module.yaml
      code: tea
      name: 'Test Architect'
      description: 'Master Test Architect for quality strategy, test automation, and release gates'
      defaultSelected: false
      type: bmad-org
      npmPackage: bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

  3. Run the installer:

    Terminal window
    npx bmad-method install

If you cannot edit the BMAD repo, pass the same local path on the command line instead. --custom-source accepts comma-separated Git URLs or local paths:

Terminal window
npx bmad-method install --custom-source /path/to/local/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

If your environment also blocks npm, use an internal npm proxy, or allow npm only for the local module cache.
