# Testing Guide
Comprehensive testing guide for TidGi-Desktop using Jest + React Testing Library for unit tests and Playwright + Cucumber for E2E tests.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Run all tests
pnpm test
# Run unit tests only
pnpm test:unit
# Run E2E tests (requires packaged app)
pnpm run package:dev && pnpm test:e2e
# Run with coverage
pnpm test:unit -- --coverage
```
## Project Setup
**Test Configuration**: TypeScript-first with `jest.config.ts`
- Unit tests: Jest + React Testing Library + jsdom
- E2E tests: Playwright + Cucumber
- Coverage: HTML reports in `coverage/`
**File Structure**:
```tree
src/
├── __tests__/ # Global test setup & utilities
├── components/*/
│ └── __tests__/ # Component tests
└── services/*/
└── __tests__/ # Service tests
features/ # E2E tests
├── *.feature # Gherkin scenarios
├── stepDefinitions/ # Playwright implementations
└── supports/ # Test utilities
```
## Writing Unit Tests
### Basic Component Test
```typescript
// src/components/Button/__tests__/Button.test.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { Button } from '../Button';
describe('Button', () => {
it('should handle click events', () => {
const onClick = vi.fn();
render();
fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Click me'));
expect(onClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});
});
```
### Testing with Material-UI
```typescript
import { ThemeProvider, createTheme } from '@mui/material/styles';
const renderWithTheme = (component: React.ReactElement) => {
return render(
{component}
);
};
```
### Async & API Tests
```typescript
// Mock fetch globally
global.fetch = vi.fn();
beforeEach(() => {
vi.clearAllMocks();
});
it('should fetch data successfully', async () => {
const mockData = { id: 1, name: 'Test' };
(fetch as jest.MockedFunction).mockResolvedValueOnce({
ok: true,
json: async () => mockData,
} as Response);
const result = await fetchUserData(1);
expect(fetch).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/api/users/1');
expect(result).toEqual(mockData);
});
```
### Testing Electron IPC
```typescript
// Mock electron
vi.mock('electron', () => ({
ipcRenderer: {
invoke: vi.fn(),
send: vi.fn(),
on: vi.fn(),
},
}));
import { ipcRenderer } from 'electron';
it('should communicate with main process', async () => {
const mockResponse = { success: true };
(ipcRenderer.invoke as jest.MockedFunction)
.mockResolvedValueOnce(mockResponse);
const result = await electronService.getData();
expect(ipcRenderer.invoke).toHaveBeenCalledWith('get-data');
expect(result).toEqual(mockResponse);
});
```
## Writing E2E Tests
### Feature File Example
```gherkin
# features/workspace-management.feature
Feature: Workspace Management
Scenario: Create new workspace
Given TidGi application is launched
When I click "Add Workspace" button
And I enter workspace name "Test Wiki"
And I click "Create" button
Then I should see "Test Wiki" in workspace list
```
### Step Definitions
```typescript
// features/stepDefinitions/application.ts
import { Given, When, Then, Before, After } from '@cucumber/cucumber';
import { expect } from '@playwright/test';
import { ElectronApplication, _electron as electron } from 'playwright';
let electronApp: ElectronApplication;
let page: Page;
Before(async function () {
electronApp = await electron.launch({
args: [path.join(__dirname, '../../out/TidGi-Desktop/TidGi-Desktop.exe')],
timeout: 30000,
});
page = await electronApp.firstWindow();
});
Given('TidGi application is launched', async function () {
await page.waitForSelector('[data-testid="main-window"]');
});
When('I click {string} button', async function (buttonText: string) {
await page.click(`button:has-text("${buttonText}")`);
});
Then('I should see {string} in workspace list', async function (text: string) {
await expect(page.locator(`[data-testid="workspace-item"]:has-text("${text}")`))
.toBeVisible();
});
```
## Best Practices
### Unit Testing
- **Test behavior, not implementation** - Focus on user interactions and outputs
- **Use data-testid** for reliable element selection
- **Mock external dependencies** - APIs, file system, Electron APIs
- **Test error cases** - Don't just test the happy path
### E2E Testing
- **Use semantic selectors** - `data-testid`, `role`, or text content
- **Wait for elements** - Use `waitFor`, `findBy` queries
- **Test real workflows** - Complete user scenarios, not isolated features
- **Keep scenarios focused** - One feature per scenario
### General
- **Arrange-Act-Assert** pattern for clear test structure
- **Descriptive test names** - What should happen, when, under what conditions
- **Clean up between tests** - Reset mocks, clear state
## Debugging
```bash
# Debug unit tests
pnpm test:unit -- --runInBand src/path/to/test.ts
# Debug E2E tests (headed mode)
pnpm test:e2e -- --headed
# Use screen.debug() to see DOM state
screen.debug(); // In React tests
# Check coverage gaps
pnpm test:unit -- --coverage
# Open coverage/lcov-report/index.html
```
## Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Tests timeout | Check for unresolved promises, increase timeout |
| Mock not working | Ensure mocks are set up before imports |
| CSS/Asset errors | Check `moduleNameMapper` in `jest.config.ts` |
| E2E test fails | Verify app is packaged, check selectors |
## CI Integration
Tests run automatically on PRs and main branch pushes. Ensure all tests pass:
```bash
pnpm test # Full test suite
pnpm lint:fix # Fix linting issues
```
