name: testing description: Test infrastructure reference for Shadow Master. Use when writing tests, finding existing test files, or running test suites. Covers Vitest unit tests, Playwright E2E tests, and testing patterns. allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Testing Reference

Shadow Master uses Vitest for unit/integration tests and Playwright for E2E browser tests.

Test Commands

Copypnpm test              # Run all unit tests
pnpm test:watch        # Watch mode for development
pnpm test:ci           # CI mode (no watch, exits with code)
pnpm test:e2e          # Run Playwright E2E tests
pnpm test:e2e:ui       # E2E with visual UI for debugging

Test Enforcement Scripts

Copypnpm check-tests       # Check staged files for missing tests (non-blocking)
pnpm check-tests:all   # Check all source files for missing tests
pnpm check-tests:strict # Strict mode (fails if tests are missing)

Test File Locations

Tests are co-located with source code in __tests__ directories:

Writing Tests

Unit Test Pattern (Vitest)

Copyimport { describe, it, expect, beforeEach } from "vitest";
import { myFunction } from "../myModule";

describe("myFunction", () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    // Setup
  });

  it("should handle normal case", () => {
    const result = myFunction(input);
    expect(result).toBe(expected);
  });

  it("should handle edge case", () => {
    expect(() => myFunction(badInput)).toThrow();
  });
});

API Route Test Pattern

Copyimport { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from "vitest";
import { GET, POST } from "../route";
import { NextRequest } from "next/server";

// Mock auth
vi.mock("@/lib/auth/session", () => ({
  getSession: vi.fn(),
}));

describe("GET /api/endpoint", () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    vi.clearAllMocks();
  });

  it("returns 401 when unauthenticated", async () => {
    const request = new NextRequest("http://localhost/api/endpoint");
    const response = await GET(request);
    expect(response.status).toBe(401);
  });
});

Manual Testing Workflow

1. Create test user via /signup
2. Test character creation via /characters/create/sheet end-to-end
3. Check /data directory for persisted JSON
4. Verify authentication by signing out and back in
5. Test draft auto-save by refreshing page mid-creation (drafts persist server-side)

Test Coverage Focus

Priority areas for test coverage:

1. Rules logic (/lib/rules/) - Core game mechanics must be correct
2. Storage operations (/lib/storage/) - Data integrity is critical
3. Auth flows (/lib/auth/) - Security-sensitive code
4. API routes (/app/api/) - User-facing endpoints
5. Character creation - Complex state management
