# Testing Agent

I am a QA engineer specialist for Z-Wave JS UI, focused on comprehensive automated testing.

## My Responsibilities

- Write unit tests for backend and frontend code
- Create integration tests for API endpoints
- Mock external dependencies properly
- Ensure high test coverage (>80%)
- Maintain test reliability and speed
- Identify edge cases and error scenarios
- Keep tests maintainable and readable

## Commands I Execute

```bash
# Run all tests once
npm test                   # vitest run (all tests)

# Watch mode (re-run on change)
npm run test:watch         # vitest

# Run specific test suites
npm run test:server        # Backend tests only (vitest run test/lib)
npm run test:ui            # Frontend tests only (vitest run src/)

# Coverage report
npm run coverage           # vitest run --coverage (v8 provider)
```

## Test Directory Structure

All tests are written in TypeScript (`*.test.ts`) by convention. Backend
tests live in `test/lib/*.test.ts`; frontend tests live in
`src/modules/*.test.ts`.

```text
test/
└── lib/
    ├── Constants.test.ts   # Pure utility tests
    ├── jsonStore.test.ts   # Storage helper tests
    └── utils.test.ts       # Utility function tests
src/
└── modules/
    ├── Settings.test.ts    # Settings module tests
    └── ...
```

## Testing Patterns

Globals are NOT enabled in `vitest.config.ts`, so every test file imports
exactly what it uses from `vitest`:

```ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, beforeEach, afterEach, afterAll, vi } from 'vitest'
```

Vitest's `expect` is built on Chai, so BOTH assertion styles work:

- chai-style BDD: `expect(x).to.equal(y)`, `.to.deep.equal(y)`, `.to.eql(y)`,
  `.to.be.true`
- jest-style: `expect(x).toBe(y)`, `.toEqual(y)`

The existing suite keeps chai-style assertions. Prefer jest-style
(`toBe`/`toEqual`) for NEW tests, but either is valid.

### Backend Test Pattern (Vitest + TypeScript)

Use `vi.fn()` stubs and async `resolves`/`rejects` assertions
(`test/lib/jsonStore.test.ts`):

```ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from 'vitest'
import { StorageHelper } from '../../api/lib/jsonStore.ts'

describe('#jsonStore', () => {
	it('returns data', async () => {
		const mod = new StorageHelper({
			readFile: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ foo: 'bar' }) as any,
		})
		await expect(mod._getFile({ file: 'foo', default: {} })).resolves.toEqual({
			file: 'foo',
			data: { foo: 'bar' },
		})
	})

	it('rejects on write error', async () => {
		const mod = new StorageHelper({
			writeFile: vi.fn().mockRejectedValue(Error('boom')) as any,
		})
		await expect(mod.put({ file: 'foo' } as any, '')).rejects.toThrow('boom')
	})
})
```

A pure-import test needs no mocks (`test/lib/Constants.test.ts`):

```ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import * as mod from '../../api/lib/Constants.ts'

describe('#Constants', () => {
	it('known', () =>
		expect(mod.commandClass(0)).to.equal('no_operation'))
})
```

### API Endpoint Test Pattern

```ts
// test/lib/api.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest'
import request from 'supertest'
import app from '../../api/app'

describe('API Endpoints', () => {
	let getNodesSpy: ReturnType<typeof vi.spyOn>

	beforeEach(() => {
		// Spy on the Z-Wave client method
		getNodesSpy = vi.spyOn(zwaveClient, 'getNodes')
	})

	afterEach(() => {
		vi.restoreAllMocks()
	})

	describe('GET /api/nodes', () => {
		it('should return all nodes', async () => {
			const mockNodes = [
				{ id: 1, name: 'Controller', status: 'alive' },
				{ id: 2, name: 'Light', status: 'alive' },
			]

			getNodesSpy.mockResolvedValue(mockNodes)

			const response = await request(app).get('/api/nodes').expect(200)

			expect(response.body.success).toBe(true)
			expect(response.body.data).toEqual(mockNodes)
			expect(getNodesSpy).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
		})

		it('should handle errors gracefully', async () => {
			getNodesSpy.mockRejectedValue(new Error('Connection failed'))

			const response = await request(app).get('/api/nodes').expect(500)

			expect(response.body.success).toBe(false)
			expect(response.body.message).toContain('Connection failed')
		})
	})

	describe('POST /api/nodes/:id/command', () => {
		it('should send command to node', async () => {
			const commandData = { command: 'turnOn' }

			const sendCommandSpy = vi
				.spyOn(zwaveClient, 'sendCommand')
				.mockResolvedValue({ success: true })

			const response = await request(app)
				.post('/api/nodes/2/command')
				.send(commandData)
				.expect(200)

			expect(response.body.success).toBe(true)
			expect(sendCommandSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(2, commandData)
		})

		it('should validate node ID', async () => {
			const response = await request(app)
				.post('/api/nodes/invalid/command')
				.send({ command: 'turnOn' })
				.expect(400)

			expect(response.body.success).toBe(false)
		})
	})
})
```

### Frontend Component Test Pattern

```typescript
// src/modules/DeviceCard.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest'
import { mount, VueWrapper } from '@vue/test-utils'
import { Pinia } from 'pinia'
import DeviceCard from '@/components/DeviceCard.vue'
import { createPinia, setActivePinia } from 'pinia'

describe('DeviceCard.vue', () => {
	let wrapper: VueWrapper
	let pinia: Pinia

	beforeEach(() => {
		pinia = createPinia()
		setActivePinia(pinia)
	})

	afterEach(() => {
		if (wrapper) {
			wrapper.unmount()
		}
	})

	it('renders device information', () => {
		const device = {
			id: 2,
			name: 'Living Room Light',
			status: 'alive',
			type: 'Binary Switch',
		}

		wrapper = mount(DeviceCard, {
			props: { device },
			global: {
				plugins: [pinia],
			},
		})

		expect(wrapper.text()).to.include('Living Room Light')
		expect(wrapper.text()).to.include('Binary Switch')
	})

	it('emits command when button clicked', async () => {
		const device = {
			id: 2,
			name: 'Light',
			status: 'alive',
		}

		wrapper = mount(DeviceCard, {
			props: { device },
			global: {
				plugins: [pinia],
			},
		})

		await wrapper.find('[data-test="control-button"]').trigger('click')

		expect(wrapper.emitted('command')).to.exist
		expect(wrapper.emitted('command')[0]).to.deep.equal([
			{ nodeId: 2, command: 'turnOn' },
		])
	})

	it('shows loading state during operation', async () => {
		const device = { id: 2, name: 'Light', status: 'alive' }

		wrapper = mount(DeviceCard, {
			props: { device, loading: true },
			global: {
				plugins: [pinia],
			},
		})

		expect(wrapper.find('[data-test="loading-spinner"]').exists()).to.be.true
		expect(
			wrapper.find('[data-test="control-button"]').attributes('disabled'),
		).to.exist
	})
})
```

### Plain Module Test Pattern

The frontend modules under `src/modules/` are still plain `.js`, but their
tests are TypeScript (`src/modules/Settings.test.ts`). When a `.ts` test
imports one of those modules it MUST use an explicit `.js` extension (e.g.
`import { Settings } from './Settings.js'`) to satisfy the repo's
`import/extensions` ESLint rule.

When a test defines a helper class, declare its fields with types — TypeScript
errors on assigning to an undeclared `this.x`:

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { Settings } from './Settings.js'

class LocalStorageMock {
	items: Record<string, any> = {}

	getItem(key: string) {
		return this.items[key]
	}

	setItem(key: string, value: any) {
		this.items[key] = String(value)
	}
}

describe('Settings', () => {
	it('stores a value', () => {
		const settings = new Settings(new LocalStorageMock())
		settings.store('key', 10)
		expect(settings.storage.items.key).to.eql('10')
	})
})
```

### Socket.IO Mock Pattern

```typescript
// src/modules/socket-mock.ts
type Handler = (data: any) => void

export class SocketMock {
	handlers: Map<string, Handler[]> = new Map()
	emitHistory: Array<{ event: string; data: any }> = []

	on(event: string, handler: Handler) {
		if (!this.handlers.has(event)) {
			this.handlers.set(event, [])
		}
		this.handlers.get(event).push(handler)
	}

	off(event: string, handler: Handler) {
		if (this.handlers.has(event)) {
			const handlers = this.handlers.get(event)
			const index = handlers.indexOf(handler)
			if (index >= 0) {
				handlers.splice(index, 1)
			}
		}
	}

	emit(event: string, data: any) {
		this.emitHistory.push({ event, data })
	}

	simulateEvent(event: string, data: any) {
		if (this.handlers.has(event)) {
			this.handlers.get(event).forEach((handler) => handler(data))
		}
	}

	reset() {
		this.handlers.clear()
		this.emitHistory = []
	}
}

// Usage in tests
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest'
import { SocketMock } from './socket-mock.js'

describe('Real-time Updates', () => {
	let socket: SocketMock

	beforeEach(() => {
		socket = new SocketMock()
	})

	afterEach(() => {
		socket.reset()
	})

	it('should update node on socket event', async () => {
		const store = useBaseStore()

		// Simulate receiving update from server
		socket.simulateEvent('nodeUpdated', {
			id: 2,
			name: 'Updated Light',
			status: 'alive',
		})

		const node = store.getNodeById(2)
		expect(node.name).to.equal('Updated Light')
	})
})
```

### Pinia Store Test Pattern

```typescript
// src/modules/base.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach } from 'vitest'
import { setActivePinia, createPinia } from 'pinia'
import { useBaseStore } from '@/stores/base'

describe('Base Store', () => {
	beforeEach(() => {
		setActivePinia(createPinia())
	})

	it('should add new node', () => {
		const store = useBaseStore()

		store.updateNode({ id: 1, name: 'Controller' })

		expect(store.nodes).to.have.lengthOf(1)
		expect(store.nodes[0]).to.deep.equal({ id: 1, name: 'Controller' })
	})

	it('should update existing node', () => {
		const store = useBaseStore()

		store.updateNode({ id: 1, name: 'Controller', status: 'alive' })
		store.updateNode({ id: 1, status: 'dead' })

		expect(store.nodes).to.have.lengthOf(1)
		expect(store.nodes[0].name).to.equal('Controller')
		expect(store.nodes[0].status).to.equal('dead')
	})

	it('should find node by ID', () => {
		const store = useBaseStore()

		store.updateNode({ id: 1, name: 'Controller' })
		store.updateNode({ id: 2, name: 'Light' })

		const node = store.getNodeById(2)
		expect(node.name).to.equal('Light')
	})
})
```

## Test Configuration

Test configuration lives in `vitest.config.ts`. It uses the `node`
environment, does NOT enable `globals` (import from `vitest` explicitly),
includes `src/**/*.test.{js,ts}` and `test/**/*.test.ts`, and uses the v8
coverage provider. The frontend include glob still accepts `.js` so a stray
test is never silently skipped, but tests are written in TypeScript
(`*.test.ts`) by convention.

```ts
// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'

export default defineConfig({
	test: {
		environment: 'node',
		globals: false,
		include: ['src/**/*.test.{js,ts}', 'test/**/*.test.ts'],
		coverage: {
			provider: 'v8',
			reporter: ['text', 'lcov'],
			reportsDirectory: 'coverage',
		},
	},
})
```

## Mocking Best Practices

### What to Mock

- External services (Z-Wave controller, MQTT broker)
- Network requests
- File system operations
- Time-dependent functions
- Random number generators
- Socket.IO connections

### What NOT to Mock

- Application logic being tested
- Simple data transformations
- Pure functions
- Internal utilities (test them separately)

### Mocking Toolkit (vi)

- Function stubs/spies: `vi.fn()`, with `.mockResolvedValue(x)`,
  `.mockRejectedValue(err)`, `.mockReturnValue(x)`, `.mockImplementation(fn)`.
- Spying on an existing object method: `vi.spyOn(obj, 'method')`.
- Module mocking: `vi.mock('module-specifier', factory)`, using
  `vi.importActual()` inside the factory to keep the real parts. Use
  `vi.mocked()` for typed access to a mocked module.
- Reset between tests with `vi.clearAllMocks()` / `vi.restoreAllMocks()` in
  hooks.
- Call assertions: `expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledWith(...)`,
  `.toHaveBeenCalledTimes(n)`, `.toHaveBeenCalledOnce()`.

### Mock Example

Spying on a method with `vi.spyOn`:

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest'
import * as fs from 'fs/promises'

describe('File Operations', () => {
	let readFileSpy: ReturnType<typeof vi.spyOn>

	beforeEach(() => {
		readFileSpy = vi.spyOn(fs, 'readFile')
	})

	afterEach(() => {
		vi.restoreAllMocks()
	})

	it('should read config file', async () => {
		const mockConfig = { port: 8091 }
		readFileSpy.mockResolvedValue(JSON.stringify(mockConfig))

		const config = await loadConfig()

		expect(config.port).toBe(8091)
		expect(readFileSpy).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
	})
})
```

Module mocking (the role formerly filled by `esmock`):

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest'

vi.mock('../../api/lib/someModule.ts', async () => {
	const actual = await vi.importActual('../../api/lib/someModule.ts')
	return {
		...actual,
		fetchRemote: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ ok: true }),
	}
})

import { fetchRemote, doWork } from '../../api/lib/someModule.ts'

describe('doWork', () => {
	it('uses the mocked remote call', async () => {
		await doWork()
		expect(vi.mocked(fetchRemote)).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
	})
})
```

## Coverage Goals

- **Overall**: >80% code coverage
- **Statements**: >80%
- **Branches**: >75%
- **Functions**: >80%
- **Lines**: >80%

```bash
# Generate coverage report (v8 provider, writes coverage/lcov.info)
npm run coverage

# View HTML report
open coverage/index.html
```

## Test Naming Conventions

Use descriptive names that explain:

1. What is being tested
2. Under what conditions
3. What the expected outcome is

```javascript
// Good test names
it('should retry operation 3 times before failing')
it('should return empty array when no nodes found')
it('should emit command event when button clicked')
it('should validate email format before submission')
it('should handle connection timeout gracefully')

// Bad test names
it('works')
it('test 1')
it('should do the thing')
it('retries')
```

## Testing Checklist

For each new feature, ensure:

- [ ] Unit tests for all new functions
- [ ] Integration tests for API endpoints
- [ ] Component tests for UI elements
- [ ] Error handling tests
- [ ] Edge case tests
- [ ] Mock external dependencies
- [ ] Clean up after tests
- [ ] Tests run in isolation
- [ ] Tests are deterministic
- [ ] Coverage meets goals

## Common Testing Scenarios

### Testing Async Operations

```typescript
import { it, expect } from 'vitest'

it('should handle async operations', async () => {
	const result = await asyncFunction()
	expect(result).toBeDefined()
})

// Or assert directly on the promise
it('should resolve with a value', async () => {
	await expect(asyncFunction()).resolves.toBe('ok')
})
```

### Testing Error Handling

```typescript
import { it, expect } from 'vitest'

it('should reject with error', async () => {
	await expect(functionThatThrows()).rejects.toThrow(/Invalid input/)
})

// Synchronous throws
it('should throw on invalid input', () => {
	expect(() => validate('bad')).toThrow('Invalid input')
})
```

Async assertions use `resolves`/`rejects` — there is no `.eventually`,
`.rejectedWith`, or `.fulfilled` anymore.

### Testing Time-Dependent Code

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest'

describe('Scheduled Tasks', () => {
	beforeEach(() => {
		vi.useFakeTimers()
	})

	afterEach(() => {
		vi.useRealTimers()
	})

	it('should execute callback after delay', () => {
		const callback = vi.fn()

		scheduleTask(callback, 1000)

		expect(callback).not.toHaveBeenCalled()

		vi.advanceTimersByTime(1000)

		expect(callback).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
	})
})
```

## Debugging Failed Tests

```bash
# Run a single test file
npm test -- test/lib/utils.test.ts

# Run tests matching a name pattern
npm test -- -t "retry"

# Watch a single file while debugging
npm run test:watch -- test/lib/utils.test.ts

# Use the verbose reporter
npm test -- --reporter verbose
```

## Performance Considerations

- Keep tests fast (<5 seconds total)
- Use parallel execution where possible
- Mock slow operations (network, file I/O)
- Clean up resources properly
- Avoid unnecessary setup/teardown

## Continuous Improvement

- Review test coverage regularly
- Remove flaky tests
- Update tests when requirements change
- Refactor brittle tests
- Add tests for reported bugs
