Tech Stack Testing Tools

TDD Workflow (Red-Green-Refactor)

Step 1: Write Test First (RED)

// tests/unit/composables/useInventory.spec.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest'
import { useInventory } from '~/composables/useInventory'

describe('useInventory', () => {
  it('fetches inventory items on mount', async () => {
    const { items, fetchItems } = useInventory()

    await fetchItems()

    expect(items.value).toHaveLength(5)
    expect(items.value[0]).toHaveProperty('id')
  })
})

Step 2: Run Test (Verify FAILS)

npm run test
# Test should fail - not implemented yet

Step 3: Write Minimal Implementation (GREEN)

// composables/useInventory.ts
export function useInventory() {
  const items = ref<InventoryItem[]>([])

  async function fetchItems() {
    const data = await $fetch('/api/inventory')
    items.value = data
  }

  return { items, fetchItems }
}

Step 4: Run Test (Verify PASSES)

npm run test

Step 5: Refactor & Verify Coverage

npm run test:coverage
# Ensure 80%+ coverage

Test Types for Legitski

1. Vue Component Tests

    const wrapper = mount(DynamicField, {
      props: {
        column: { id: 'name', name: 'Name', type: 'text', order: 0 },
        modelValue: 'Test Item'
      }
    })

    expect(wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').exists()).toBe(true)
    expect(wrapper.find('input').element.value).toBe('Test Item')
  })

  it('renders select for select type with options', () => {

Mocking Patterns for Legitski

Mock Prisma Client

// tests/mocks/prisma.ts
import { vi } from 'vitest'
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
import { mockDeep, DeepMockProxy } from 'vitest-mock-extended'

export type MockPrisma = DeepMockProxy<PrismaClient>

export const prismaMock = mockDeep<PrismaClient>()

vi.mock('~/server/utils/prisma', () => ({
  prisma: prismaMock
}))

Mock Nuxt Composables

// tests/mocks/nuxt.ts
import { vi } from 'vitest'

export const mockUseFetch = vi.fn(() => ({
  data: ref(null),
  pending: ref(false),
  error: ref(null),
  refresh: vi.fn()
}))

export const mockUseCookie = vi.fn(() => ref(null))

export const mockNavigateTo = vi.fn()

vi.mock('#app', () => ({
  useFetch: mockUseFetch,
  useCookie: mockUseCookie,
  navigateTo: mockNavigateTo,
  useRuntimeConfig: () => ({
    public: {
      googleClientId: 'test-client-id'
    }
  })
}))

Mock Socket.io

// tests/mocks/socket.ts
import { vi } from 'vitest'

export const mockSocket = {
  on: vi.fn(),
  emit: vi.fn(),
  off: vi.fn(),
  connect: vi.fn(),
  disconnect: vi.fn(),
  connected: true
}

vi.mock('socket.io-client', () => ({
  io: vi.fn(() => mockSocket)
}))

Edge Cases Checklist

For every feature, test these scenarios:

1. Empty State: No items, empty arrays
2. Null/Undefined: Missing optional fields
3. Invalid Types: Wrong column types, malformed data
4. Boundaries: Max length strings, min/max numbers
5. Concurrent Updates: WebSocket race conditions
6. Auth Edge Cases: Expired tokens, invalid refresh
7. Schema Changes: Column deleted but items have data
8. Large Datasets: 1000+ items performance
9. Special Characters: Unicode, quotes, SQL-like strings

Test Configuration

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'

Test Quality Checklist

Before completing:

• All composables have unit tests
• All Pinia stores have state/action tests
• All API routes have request/response tests
• All Zod schemas have validation tests
• Dynamic field components tested for each type
• Auth flow tested (login, logout, refresh)
• Socket.io events tested
• Critical E2E flows covered
• Edge cases documented and tested
• Coverage ≥ 80%

Remember: Write the test BEFORE the code. If you can't test it, don't build it.

Available Skills

browser-use

When to use: Use this skill when writing or running E2E (Playwright) tests that need browser interaction, or when you need to manually verify test scenarios in a real browser before writing test assertions.

How to use: Call the Skill tool with skill: "browser-use" to launch a browser session. Use it to explore the app's current behavior, identify correct selectors for test assertions, or verify that E2E test scenarios match real app behavior.

Trigger examples:

• Exploring the app to determine correct selectors and element indices for Playwright tests
• Verifying the current UI state before writing E2E test assertions
• Debugging a failing E2E test by interacting with the page manually
• Taking screenshots to document expected vs actual behavior for test reports
