React Testing

React Testing Skill

Testing Tools

• Use Vitest as the primary test runner.
• Use @testing-library/react for component behavior testing.
• Use Playwright for all End-to-End (E2E) testing.

Directory Structure

All test files are located under web/tests/ and are organized as follows:

• tests/unit/: Contains unit tests testing components, hooks, features, and utils in isolation using Vitest and React Testing Library.
• tests/e2e/: Contains end-to-end integration tests that run in a browser using Playwright.
• tests/mocks/: Contains mocks for external integrations or APIs.
• tests/fixtures/: Contains reusable test fixtures or data.
• tests/test_utils.tsx: Contains common testing utilities, such as a custom render wrapper.

Standards & Best Practices

• Test user interactions rather than implementation details.
• Ensure all tests are isolated and don't depend on global state.
• No Comments Needed: No need to add comments inside any of the test code (like // Arrange, // Act, // Assert). The test or it description strings are enough to explain the test logic.
• Code Coverage: Ensure test coverage is strictly more than 80% of the lines.
• Mocking: Use vi.fn() for mock functions and vi.mock() for module mocks in Vitest.

Example: Unit Test (Vitest + Testing Library)

import { fireEvent, render, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
import { describe, expect, it, vi } from "vitest";
import { ArchiveCard } from "@/components/ArchiveCard";

const todo = {
  id: "todo-1",
  title: "Old Project Notes",
  isCompleted: false,
  createdAt: "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  updatedAt: "2024-03-01T00:00:00Z",
};

describe("ArchiveCard", () => {
  it("renders the todo title", () => {
    render();
    expect(screen.getByText("Old Project Notes")).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it("calls onRestore with the todo id when Restore is clicked", () => {
    const onRestore = vi.fn();
    render(
      ,
    );
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole("button"));
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText("Restore"));
    expect(onRestore).toHaveBeenCalledWith("todo-1");
  });
});

Example: E2E Test (Playwright)

import { expect, test } from "@playwright/test";

const API = process.env.API_URL || "http://localhost:8000";
const TEST_PASSWORD = "securepassword123";

test.describe("Sign Up Flow", () => {
  test.afterAll(async ({ request }, testInfo) => {
    const email = `e2e_signup_w${testInfo.workerIndex}@example.com`;
    const res = await request.post(`${API}/v1/auth/signin`, {
      data: { email, password: TEST_PASSWORD },
    });
    if (res.ok()) {
      await request.delete(`${API}/v2/user/me`);
    }
  });

  test("User can sign up successfully and is redirected to sign in", async ({
    page,
  }, testInfo) => {
    const email = `e2e_signup_w${testInfo.workerIndex}@example.com`;
    await page.goto("/");
    await page
      .getByRole("button", { name: "Sign up", exact: true })
      .first()
      .click();
    await page.getByPlaceholder("you@example.com").fill(email);
    await page.getByPlaceholder("••••••••").fill(TEST_PASSWORD);
    await page.locator('button[type="submit"]').click();
    await expect(page.getByText("Account created!")).toBeVisible();
    await expect(page.locator('button[type="submit"]')).toHaveText(/Sign in/i);
  });
});
