Create Unit Test
This skill guides the creation of unit tests to ensuring consistency and correctness.
Workflow
Analyze and Plan:
- Goal: Understand what needs testing.
- Action: Examine the source code.
- Action: Identify "happy path" cases (core functionality).
- Action: Identify "error cases" and "edge cases" based on likelihood.
- Action: Do not suggest implementation details unless asked; focus on behavior.
Setup Test File:
- Naming:
[OriginalClassName]Test.kt. - Location:
[module]/src/test/java/[package/path]/. - Runner: If testing Android components, you MUST use Robolectric.
- Mocking: Prefer creating Fakes over Mocks or patches. Use Mocks only if Fakes are too complex.
- Naming:
Implement Tests:
- Write clear, descriptive test methods.
- Follow the "Arrange-Act-Assert" pattern.
- Ensure all resources (strings, themes) are properly mocked or provided via Robolectric.
Run Tests:
- Command:
./gradlew :[module]:testDebugUnitTest - Example:
./gradlew :database:testDebugUnitTest - Tip: Before any commit, run
./gradlew testDebugUnitTestto ensure everything passes.
- Command:
Handle Failures:
- Goal: Diagnose and fix issues.
- Action: If a test fails, locate the full error report.
- Path:
[module]/build/test-results/testDebugUnitTest/TEST-[package.name.TestClassName].xml. - Example:
app/build/test-results/testDebugUnitTest/TEST-com.anysoftkeyboard.janus.app.MainActivityTest.xml.
Guidelines
- Consistency: Always place tests in the
testsource set, notandroidTest(unless specifically writing instrumentation tests, which is rare for this skill). - Reliability: Avoid flaky tests. Ensure deterministic behavior.
