| 1 | +# Testing Guide for pos-cli |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes the testing architecture, conventions, and how to run and write tests. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Tests are organized into two categories: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- **Unit tests** (`test/unit/`) - Fast, isolated tests that mock external dependencies |
| 10 | +- **Integration tests** (`test/integration/`) - End-to-end tests that require real platformOS credentials |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Running Tests |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +```bash |
| 15 | +# Run all tests |
| 16 | +npm test |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +# Run only unit tests (fast, no credentials needed) |
| 19 | +npm run test:unit |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +# Run only integration tests (requires credentials) |
| 22 | +npm run test:integration |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +# Watch mode for development |
| 25 | +npm run test:watch |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Test Framework |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- **Test Runner**: [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) v4.x |
| 31 | +- **HTTP Mocking**: [nock](https://github.com/nock/nock) for intercepting HTTP requests |
| 32 | +- **Module System**: ESM (ES Modules) |
| 33 | + |

| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Writing Tests |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Unit Tests |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Unit tests should: |
| 65 | +- Mock all external dependencies (HTTP, file system when needed) |
| 66 | +- Be fast (< 1 second per test) |
| 67 | +- Test isolated functionality |
| 68 | +- Not require environment credentials |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +```javascript |
| 71 | +import { describe, test, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest'; |
| 72 | +import nock from 'nock'; |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +// Mock dependencies |
| 75 | +vi.mock('#lib/logger.js', () => ({ |
| 76 | + default: { Debug: vi.fn(), Warn: vi.fn(), Error: vi.fn(), Info: vi.fn() } |
| 77 | +})); |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +describe('Feature', () => { |
| 80 | + beforeEach(() => { |
| 81 | + vi.clearAllMocks(); |
| 82 | + nock.cleanAll(); |
| 83 | + }); |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + test('handles API response correctly', async () => { |
| 86 | + // Mock the HTTP call |
| 87 | + nock('https://example.com') |
| 88 | + .post('/api/app_builder/marketplace_releases') |
| 89 | + .reply(200, { id: 123, status: 'pending' }); |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + // Test the functionality |
| 92 | + const result = await someFunction(); |
| 93 | + expect(result.id).toBe(123); |
| 94 | + }); |
| 95 | +}); |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### Integration Tests |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Integration tests should: |
| 101 | +- Import `dotenv/config` at the top to load credentials |
| 102 | +- Call `requireRealCredentials()` at the start of tests needing real API |
| 103 | +- Use extended timeouts for API operations |
| 104 | +- Clean up any created resources |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```javascript |
| 107 | +import 'dotenv/config'; |
| 108 | +import { describe, test, expect, vi } from 'vitest'; |
| 109 | +import { requireRealCredentials } from '#test/utils/credentials'; |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +vi.setConfig({ testTimeout: 40000 }); // Extended timeout |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +describe('Deploy', () => { |
| 114 | + test('deploys successfully', async () => { |
| 115 | + requireRealCredentials(); |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | + // Test with real API |
| 118 | + const { stdout } = await exec(`${cliPath} deploy`); |
| 119 | + expect(stdout).toMatch('Deploy succeeded'); |
| 120 | + }); |
| 121 | +}); |
| 122 | +``` |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +## HTTP Mocking Strategy |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +### Approach: Record & Replay |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +We use HTTP mocking to create unit test versions of integration tests. This approach: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +1. **Records** real API responses during integration test development |
| 131 | +2. **Replays** those responses in unit tests for fast, reliable execution |
| 132 | +3. **Allows** re-running against real APIs when needed for validation |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Libraries Evaluated |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +| Library | Description | Chosen | |
| 137 | +|---------|-------------|--------| |
| 138 | +| [nock](https://github.com/nock/nock) | HTTP mocking with declarative API | ✅ Primary | |
| 139 | +| [MSW](https://mswjs.io/) | Network-level interception | Alternative | |
| 140 | +| [Polly.JS](https://netflix.github.io/pollyjs/) | Record/replay with persistence | For complex scenarios | |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +We chose **nock** because: |
| 143 | +- Simple, declarative API |
| 144 | +- Native fetch support (via @mswjs/interceptors) |
| 145 | +- Lightweight, no additional setup needed |
| 146 | +- Well-suited for testing HTTP clients |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +### Mock Data Organization |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +Mock responses are stored alongside tests or in dedicated fixtures: |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +``` |
| 153 | +test/ |
| 154 | +├── unit/ |
| 155 | +│ ├── deploy.test.js |
| 156 | +│ └── __mocks__/ # Recorded API responses |
| 157 | +│ └── deploy/ |
| 158 | +│ ├── success.json |
| 159 | +│ └── error.json |
| 160 | +``` |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +## Credential Management |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +### For Unit Tests |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +Use example credentials from `test/utils/credentials.js`: |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +```javascript |
| 169 | +import { exampleCredentials } from '#test/utils/credentials'; |
| 170 | +// { MPKIT_URL: 'https://example.com', MPKIT_TOKEN: 'test-token', ... } |
| 171 | +``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +### For Integration Tests |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` (or create `.env`) |
| 176 | +2. Set real credentials: |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +```bash |
| 179 | +MPKIT_URL=https://your-instance.platformos.com |
| 180 | +MPKIT_TOKEN=your-api-token |
| 181 | +MPKIT_EMAIL=your@email.com |
| 182 | +``` |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +3. Tests will automatically load from `.env` via `dotenv/config` |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +## Configuration |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +### vitest.config.js |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +```javascript |
| 191 | +export default defineConfig({ |
| 192 | + test: { |
| 193 | + environment: 'node', |
| 194 | + globals: true, |
| 195 | + include: ['test/**/*.{test,spec}.js'], |
| 196 | + setupFiles: ['./test/vitest-setup.js'], |
| 197 | + testTimeout: 10000, |
| 198 | + hookTimeout: 20000 |
| 199 | + } |
| 200 | +}); |
| 201 | +``` |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +### Import Aliases |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +The project uses import aliases defined in `package.json`: |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +```javascript |
| 208 | +import something from '#lib/module.js'; // → ./lib/module.js |
| 209 | +import util from '#test/utils/file.js'; // → ./test/utils/file.js |
| 210 | +``` |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +## Migration Progress |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +### Status: Active Development |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +Converting integration tests to have unit test equivalents with HTTP mocks using nock. |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +| Integration Test | Unit Test Status | Unit Test File | Notes | |

| 252 | +### Re-running Integration Tests |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +To validate unit test mocks against real API responses: |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +```bash |
| 257 | +# Run integration tests to verify real API behavior |
| 258 | +npm run test:integration |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +# Compare with unit tests |
| 261 | +npm run test:unit |
| 262 | +``` |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +### Adding New Mocks |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +When adding tests for new API endpoints: |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +1. Run the integration test and capture real API responses |
| 269 | +2. Create mock responses in your unit test file |
| 270 | +3. Use nock to intercept the HTTP calls |
| 271 | +4. Verify the unit test behavior matches integration test |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +## Best Practices |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +1. **Prefer unit tests** - They're faster and more reliable |
| 276 | +2. **Integration tests for critical paths** - Deploy, sync, module operations |
| 277 | +3. **Mock at the HTTP level** - Use nock to intercept fetch calls |
| 278 | +4. **Keep mocks realistic** - Record from real API when possible |
| 279 | +5. **Clean up after tests** - Reset mocks and restore state |
| 280 | +6. **Use descriptive test names** - Document what's being tested |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +### Tests failing with credential errors |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +- Unit tests: Make sure you're using mocks, not real API calls |
| 287 | +- Integration tests: Check your `.env` file has valid credentials |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +### Timeouts |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +- Unit tests should be fast (< 1 second). If timing out, you may be missing a mock. |
| 292 | +- Integration tests use extended timeouts. Increase if needed: `vi.setConfig({ testTimeout: 60000 })` |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +### Mock not matching |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +nock is strict about request matching. Debug with: |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +```javascript |
| 299 | +nock.recorder.rec(); // Record actual requests |
| 300 | +// Run your code |
| 301 | +nock.recorder.play(); // See what was called |
| 302 | +``` |
