name: testing description: Testing standards and patterns for Slotify project. Use this skill when writing tests, setting up test infrastructure, or debugging test failures. Covers Vitest, React Testing Library, and integration testing.

Testing Skill

This skill defines the testing standards for the Slotify booking application.

Testing Stack

• Vitest - Test runner and assertion library
• React Testing Library - Component testing
• jsdom - Browser environment simulation

Test File Organization

src/
├── lib/
│   ├── availability.ts
│   └── availability.test.ts      # Unit tests next to source
├── components/
│   ├── BookingFlow.tsx
│   └── BookingFlow.test.tsx
└── __tests__/                    # Integration tests
    └── booking-flow.test.ts

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm run test

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Run specific file
npm run test -- availability.test.ts

# Watch mode
npm run test -- --watch

Testing Patterns

1. Unit Tests for Business Logic

Test pure functions and business logic thoroughly:

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { generateTimeSlots, isSlotAvailable } from './availability';

describe('Availability Engine', () => {
  describe('generateTimeSlots', () => {
    it('should generate 15-minute slots within business hours', () => {
      const slots = generateTimeSlots({
        startTime: '09:00',
        endTime: '17:00',
        slotDurationMinutes: 15,
      });
      
      expect(slots).toHaveLength(32);
      expect(slots[0]).toBe('09:00');
      expect(slots[slots.length - 1]).toBe('16:45');
    });
    
    it('should respect buffer times', () => {
      // ... test buffer time logic
    });
  });
});

2. Component Tests

Test component behavior, not implementation:

import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { BookingForm } from './BookingForm';

describe('BookingForm', () => {
  it('should submit booking with valid data', async () => {
    const onSubmit = vi.fn();
    
    render(<BookingForm onSubmit={onSubmit} />);
    
    // Fill form
    fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText(/name/i), {
      target: { value: 'John Doe' },
    });
    fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText(/email/i), {
      target: { value: 'john@example.com' },
    });
    
    // Submit
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: /book/i }));
    
    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(onSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
        name: 'John Doe',
        email: 'john@example.com',
      });
    });
  });
  
  it('should show validation errors for invalid email', async () => {
    render(<BookingForm onSubmit={vi.fn()} />);
    
    fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText(/email/i), {
      target: { value: 'invalid-email' },
    });
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: /book/i }));
    
    expect(await screen.findByText(/invalid email/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

3. Server Action Tests

Mock Supabase for server action tests:

import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { createBooking } from './actions';

vi.mock('@/utils/supabase/server', () => ({
  createClient: vi.fn(() => ({
    from: vi.fn(() => ({
      insert: vi.fn(() => ({
        select: vi.fn(() => ({
          single: vi.fn(() => ({ data: mockBooking, error: null })),
        })),
      })),
    })),
  })),
}));

describe('createBooking', () => {
  it('should create booking and return success', async () => {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.set('service_id', '123');
    formData.set('client_name', 'Test Client');
    
    const result = await createBooking(formData);
    
    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
    expect(result.booking).toBeDefined();
  });
});

What to Test

Must Test (Critical Paths)

• Availability calculation logic
• Booking creation/cancellation
• Double-booking prevention
• Token validation
• Timezone conversions

Should Test

• Form validation
• Component interactions
• Error states
• Loading states

Nice to Have

• Edge cases
• Visual regression (with Playwright)
• E2E booking flow

Test Coverage Targets

Category	Target
Business logic (lib/)	90%+
Server actions	80%+
Components	70%+
Overall	75%+

Mocking Guidelines

1. Mock external services (Supabase, Resend) not internal modules
2. Use real implementations when possible for integration tests
3. Reset mocks in beforeEach to avoid test pollution
4. Avoid over-mocking - it leads to false positives

Common Pitfalls

• ❌ Testing implementation details instead of behavior
• ❌ Not waiting for async operations
• ❌ Forgetting to cleanup after tests
• ❌ Using toMatchSnapshot() without purpose
• ✅ Testing user interactions and outcomes
• ✅ Using waitFor and findBy* for async content
