Reaparr Frontend Unit Tests

Do not use this skill for backend C# tests (tests/UnitTests/) or Cypress E2E tests.

File Placement

tests/nuxt/stores/<store-name>/<method-or-behavior>.test.ts

• One concern per file. setup.test.ts tests only the setup flow. Additional behaviors get their own file (e.g., get-servers.test.ts, filter-media.test.ts).
• Mirror the store name from src/store/ (e.g., serverStore → server-store/).

Required Boilerplate

Every test file must follow this exact shape:

import { describe, beforeAll, beforeEach, test, expect } from 'vitest';
import { createPinia, setActivePinia } from 'pinia';
import { baseSetup, baseVars, getAxiosMock, subscribeSpyTo } from '@services-test-base';
// Additional imports as needed:
// import { generateResultDTO, generatePlexServers } from '@mock';
// import { SomePaths } from '@api-urls';
// import { useXxxStore } from '@store';
// import { StoreNames, type ISetupResult } from '@interfaces';

describe('XxxStore.methodName()', () => {
  let { mock, config } = baseVars();

  beforeAll(() => {
    baseSetup();
  });

  beforeEach(() => {
    mock = getAxiosMock();
    setActivePinia(createPinia());
  });

  test('Should <expected outcome> when <condition>', async () => {
    // Arrange

    // Act

    // Assert
  });
});

Rules:

• Always destructure from baseVars() at describe scope. Reassign in beforeEach.
• Always call baseSetup() in beforeAll.
• Always call getAxiosMock() and setActivePinia(createPinia()) in beforeEach — fresh mock and fresh Pinia per test.
• Always use // Arrange, // Act, // Assert comments.

RxJS Observables (subscribeSpyTo)

Store methods return RxJS Observable. Never subscribe manually. Use subscribeSpyTo from @services-test-base (re-exported from @hirez_io/observer-spy):

// Await until observable completes
const result = subscribeSpyTo(store.someAction());
await result.onComplete();

// Read emissions
result.getFirstValue()    // first emitted value
result.getLastValue()     // last emitted value
result.getValues()        // all emitted values (array)
result.receivedComplete() // true if observable completed

Always await result.onComplete() before asserting unless you are testing intermediate emissions or synchronous observables.

Store Setup Pattern

Before testing any store behavior, always initialise the store:

await subscribeSpyTo(store.setup()).onComplete();

For a setup.test.ts that just verifies the store initialises correctly:

const store = useXxxStore();
const setupResult: ISetupResult = {
  isSuccess: true,
  name: StoreNames.XxxStore,
};

const result = subscribeSpyTo(store.setup());
await result.onComplete();

expect(result.getFirstValue()).toEqual(setupResult);
expect(result.receivedComplete()).toEqual(true);

HTTP Mocking

Use mock (axios-mock-adapter) assigned from getAxiosMock() in beforeEach. Wrap response values with generateResultDTO.

// Single reply
mock.onGet(PlexServerPaths.getAllPlexServersEndpoint())
  .reply(200, generateResultDTO(servers));

// One-time reply then a permanent reply (for setup + refresh flows)
mock.onGet(PlexServerPaths.getAllPlexServersEndpoint())
  .replyOnce(200, generateResultDTO([]))
  .onGet(PlexServerPaths.getAllPlexServersEndpoint())
  .reply(200, generateResultDTO(servers));

// Regex URL match
mock.onGet(new RegExp('/api/PlexMedia')).reply(200, generateResultDTO(data));

generateResultDTO(value) returns { value, isSuccess: true, statusCode: 200, errors: [], successes: [] }.

Pre-Mocked Endpoints (global-auth-setup.ts)

These are registered globally — do not re-mock them unless you need different behaviour:

Any endpoint not in this list that your test triggers must be explicitly mocked. The mock adapter is configured with { onNoMatch: 'throwException' } — unmocked requests throw.

Mock Data and Factories

Use @mock (barrel re-exporting factories, helpers, and interfaces) for all test data:

import { generateResultDTO, generatePlexServers, generateSettingsModel, Seed } from '@mock';
import { generateJobStatusUpdate } from '@factories';

Use a deterministic config seed so tests never produce random data:

config = {
  seed: 263,
  plexServerCount: 3,
  plexMovieLibraryCount: 2,
};
const seed = new Seed(config.seed!);
const plexServers = generatePlexServers({ config });

Available factory functions (non-exhaustive):

Path Aliases

Prefer @api-urls over @api/api-paths — they resolve to the same file.

Naming Rules

• File: <method-or-behavior>.test.ts (kebab-case), e.g., get-servers.test.ts
• describe: 'StoreName.methodName()' or 'StoreName - Behavior Group'
• test: 'Should <verb phrase> when <condition>'

Commands

Run all frontend unit tests:

bun --cwd src/AppHost/ClientApp test

Run a specific test file:

bun --cwd src/AppHost/ClientApp vitest run tests/nuxt/stores/server-store/get-servers.test.ts

Complete Example

import { describe, beforeAll, beforeEach, test, expect } from 'vitest';
import { createPinia, setActivePinia } from 'pinia';
import { baseSetup, baseVars, getAxiosMock, subscribeSpyTo } from '@services-test-base';
import { generatePlexServers, generateResultDTO } from '@mock';
import { PlexServerPaths } from '@api-urls';
import { useServerStore } from '@store';

describe('ServerStore.getServers()', () => {
  let { mock, config } = baseVars();

  beforeAll(() => {
    baseSetup();
  });

  beforeEach(() => {
    mock = getAxiosMock();
    setActivePinia(createPinia());
  });

  test('Should return all servers when servers are set in the store', async () => {
    // Arrange
    config = { plexServerCount: 3 };
    const serverStore = useServerStore();
    const servers = generatePlexServers({ config });
    mock.onGet(PlexServerPaths.getAllPlexServersEndpoint()).reply(200, generateResultDTO(servers));

    // Act
    await subscribeSpyTo(serverStore.setup()).onComplete();
    const result = serverStore.getServers();

    // Assert
    expect(result).toEqual(servers);
  });
});

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting await result.onComplete() before asserting — emissions may not have arrived yet.
• Calling getAxiosMock() in beforeAll instead of beforeEach — mocks leak between tests.
• Not calling serverStore.setup() (or equivalent) before testing behavior that depends on loaded state.
• Using a non-deterministic seed (omitting seed from config) — tests become flaky across runs.
• Mocking a globally pre-mocked endpoint unnecessarily — leads to double-registration confusion.
• Leaving an endpoint unmocked that the store's setup flow calls — the onNoMatch: throwException adapter will throw during setup(), not your action under test.
• Placing tests under tests/unit/ instead of tests/nuxt/ — only the nuxt project matches tests/nuxt/**.
