GROWI Testing Patterns
GROWI uses Vitest for all testing (unit, integration, component). This skill covers universal testing patterns applicable across the monorepo.
Test File Placement (Global Standard)
Place test files in the same directory as the source file:
src/components/Button/ ├── Button.tsx └── Button.spec.tsx # Component test src/utils/ ├── helper.ts └── helper.spec.ts # Unit test src/services/api/ ├── pageService.ts └── pageService.integ.ts # Integration test
Test Types & Environments
| File Pattern | Type | Environment | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
*.spec.{ts,js} | Unit Test | Node.js | Pure functions, utilities, services |
*.integ.ts | Integration Test | Node.js + DB | API routes, database operations |
*.spec.{tsx,jsx} | Component Test | happy-dom | React components |
Vitest automatically selects the environment based on file extension and configuration.
Vitest Configuration
Global APIs (No Imports Needed)
All GROWI packages configure Vitest globals in tsconfig.json:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": ["vitest/globals"]
}
}
This enables auto-import of testing APIs:
// No imports needed!
describe('MyComponent', () => {
it('should render', () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
beforeEach(() => {
// Setup
});
afterEach(() => {
// Cleanup
});
});
Available globals: describe, it, test, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, beforeAll, afterAll, vi
Type-Safe Mocking with vitest-mock-extended
Basic Usage
vitest-mock-extended provides fully type-safe mocks with TypeScript autocomplete:
import { mockDeep, type DeepMockProxy } from 'vitest-mock-extended';
// Create type-safe mock
const mockRouter: DeepMockProxy<NextRouter> = mockDeep<NextRouter>();
// TypeScript autocomplete works!
mockRouter.asPath = '/test-path';
mockRouter.query = { id: '123' };
mockRouter.push.mockResolvedValue(true);
// Use in tests
expect(mockRouter.push).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/new-path');
Complex Types with Optional Properties
interface ComplexProps {
currentPageId?: string | null;
currentPathname?: string | null;
data?: Record<string, unknown>;
onSubmit?: (value: string) => void;
}
const mockProps: DeepMockProxy<ComplexProps> = mockDeep<ComplexProps>();
mockProps.currentPageId = 'page-123';
mockProps.data = { key: 'value' };
mockProps.onSubmit?.mockImplementation((value) => {
console.log(value);
});
Why vitest-mock-extended?
- •✅ Type safety: Catches typos at compile time
- •✅ Autocomplete: IDE suggestions for all properties/methods
- •✅ Deep mocking: Automatically mocks nested objects
- •✅ Vitest integration: Works seamlessly with
vi.fn()
React Testing Library Patterns
Basic Component Test
import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import { Button } from './Button';
describe('Button', () => {
it('should render with text', () => {
const { getByText } = render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
expect(getByText('Click me')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
it('should call onClick when clicked', async () => {
const onClick = vi.fn();
const { getByRole } = render(<Button onClick={onClick}>Click</Button>);
const button = getByRole('button');
await userEvent.click(button);
expect(onClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});
});
Testing with Jotai (Global Pattern)
When testing components that use Jotai atoms, wrap with <Provider>:
import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import { Provider } from 'jotai';
const renderWithJotai = (ui: React.ReactElement) => {
const Wrapper = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (
<Provider>{children}</Provider>
);
return render(ui, { wrapper: Wrapper });
};
describe('ComponentWithJotai', () => {
it('should render with atom state', () => {
const { getByText } = renderWithJotai(<MyComponent />);
expect(getByText('Hello')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});
Isolated Jotai Scope (For Testing)
To isolate atom state between tests:
import { createScope } from 'jotai-scope';
describe('ComponentWithIsolatedState', () => {
it('test 1', () => {
const scope = createScope();
const { getByText } = renderWithJotai(<MyComponent />, scope);
// ...
});
it('test 2', () => {
const scope = createScope(); // Fresh scope
const { getByText } = renderWithJotai(<MyComponent />, scope);
// ...
});
});
Async Testing Patterns (Global Standard)
Using act() and waitFor()
When testing async state updates:
import { waitFor, act } from '@testing-library/react';
import { renderHook } from '@testing-library/react';
test('async hook', async () => {
const { result } = renderHook(() => useMyAsyncHook());
// Trigger async action
await act(async () => {
result.current.triggerAsyncAction();
});
// Wait for state update
await waitFor(() => {
expect(result.current.isLoading).toBe(false);
});
expect(result.current.data).toBeDefined();
});
Testing Async Functions
it('should fetch data successfully', async () => {
const data = await fetchData();
expect(data).toEqual({ id: '123', name: 'Test' });
});
it('should handle errors', async () => {
await expect(fetchDataWithError()).rejects.toThrow('Error');
});
Advanced Assertions
Object Matching
expect(mockFunction).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
expect.objectContaining({
pathname: '/expected-path',
data: expect.any(Object),
timestamp: expect.any(Number),
})
);
Array Matching
expect(result).toEqual(
expect.arrayContaining([
expect.objectContaining({ id: '123' }),
expect.objectContaining({ id: '456' }),
])
);
Partial Matching
expect(user).toMatchObject({
name: 'John',
email: 'john@example.com',
// Other properties are ignored
});
Test Structure Best Practices
AAA Pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert)
describe('MyComponent', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
vi.clearAllMocks(); // Clear mocks before each test
});
describe('rendering', () => {
it('should render with default props', () => {
// Arrange: Setup test data
const props = { title: 'Test' };
// Act: Render component
const { getByText } = render(<MyComponent {...props} />);
// Assert: Verify output
expect(getByText('Test')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});
describe('user interactions', () => {
it('should submit form on button click', async () => {
// Arrange
const onSubmit = vi.fn();
const { getByRole, getByLabelText } = render(
<MyForm onSubmit={onSubmit} />
);
// Act
await userEvent.type(getByLabelText('Name'), 'John');
await userEvent.click(getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }));
// Assert
expect(onSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({ name: 'John' });
});
});
});
Nested describe for Organization
describe('PageService', () => {
describe('createPage', () => {
it('should create a page successfully', async () => {
// ...
});
it('should throw error if path is invalid', async () => {
// ...
});
});
describe('updatePage', () => {
it('should update page content', async () => {
// ...
});
});
});
Common Mocking Patterns
Mocking SWR
vi.mock('swr', () => ({
default: vi.fn(() => ({
data: mockData,
error: null,
isLoading: false,
mutate: vi.fn(),
})),
}));
Mocking Modules
// Mock entire module
vi.mock('~/services/PageService', () => ({
PageService: {
findById: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ id: '123', title: 'Test' }),
create: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ id: '456', title: 'New' }),
},
}));
// Use in test
import { PageService } from '~/services/PageService';
it('should call PageService.findById', async () => {
await myFunction();
expect(PageService.findById).toHaveBeenCalledWith('123');
});
Mocking Specific Functions
import { myFunction } from '~/utils/myUtils';
vi.mock('~/utils/myUtils', () => ({
myFunction: vi.fn().mockReturnValue('mocked'),
otherFunction: vi.fn(), // Mock other exports
}));
Integration Tests (with Database)
Integration tests (*.integ.ts) can access in-memory databases:
describe('PageService Integration', () => {
beforeEach(async () => {
// Setup: Seed test data
await Page.create({ path: '/test', body: 'content' });
});
afterEach(async () => {
// Cleanup: Clear database
await Page.deleteMany({});
});
it('should create a page', async () => {
const page = await PageService.create({
path: '/new-page',
body: 'content',
});
expect(page._id).toBeDefined();
expect(page.path).toBe('/new-page');
});
});
Testing Checklist
Before committing tests, ensure:
- •✅ Co-location: Test files are next to source files
- •✅ Descriptive names: Test descriptions clearly state what is being tested
- •✅ AAA pattern: Tests follow Arrange-Act-Assert structure
- •✅ Mocks cleared: Use
beforeEach(() => vi.clearAllMocks()) - •✅ Async handled: Use
async/awaitandwaitFor()for async operations - •✅ Type safety: Use
vitest-mock-extendedfor type-safe mocks - •✅ Isolated state: Jotai tests use separate scopes if needed
Running Tests
# Run all tests for a package
turbo run test --filter @growi/app
# Run specific test file
cd {package_dir} && pnpm vitest run src/components/Button/Button.spec.tsx
Summary: GROWI Testing Philosophy
- •Co-locate tests: Keep tests close to source code
- •Type-safe mocks: Use
vitest-mock-extendedfor TypeScript support - •React Testing Library: Test user behavior, not implementation details
- •Async patterns: Use
act()andwaitFor()for async state updates - •Jotai integration: Wrap components with
<Provider>for atom state - •Clear structure: Use nested
describeand AAA pattern - •Clean mocks: Always clear mocks between tests
These patterns apply to all GROWI packages with React/TypeScript code.
