| description | Test infrastructure patterns - PGlite for in-memory PostgreSQL, Redis/S3 mocks, TestSetup factory, Vitest. Use when writing tests or adding test infrastructure. |
Testing Infrastructure
Use this skill when writing tests. Tests use isolated in-memory infrastructure.
Project Setup
Replace these placeholders for your project:
@project/→ your package scope (e.g.,@myapp/)packages/paths follow standard monorepo layout
Expected packages:
@project/test-utils- In-memory infrastructure (PGlite, Redis, S3)@project/shared/typeid- TypeID validators
Test File Location
- Server tests:
apps/server/test/**/*.test.ts - Use Vitest (
describe,it,expect,beforeAll,afterAll)
Quick Start Template
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from "vitest";
import { type TestSetup, createTestSetup } from "../test/test.setup";
import { createTestContext, createTestItem, fundUser } from "../test/test-helpers";
import { UserId } from "@project/shared/typeid";
describe("Feature Name", () => {
let testSetup: TestSetup;
beforeAll(async () => {
testSetup = await createTestSetup();
});
afterAll(async () => {
await testSetup.cleanup();
await testSetup.close();
});
it("should do something", async () => {
const { deps, users } = testSetup;
const userId = UserId.parse(users.authenticated.id);
const item = await createTestItem(deps.db, { title: "Test Item" });
await fundUser(deps.userService, userId, 100);
const result = await deps.itemService.create(userId, {
itemId: item.id,
value: "test",
});
expect(result.isOk()).toBe(true);
});
});
