Test Patterns

Running a thunk test

const mockDb = require('@/lib/db')
mockDb.getAllSnippets.mockResolvedValue(mockSnippets)

await store.dispatch(fetchAllSnippets())

expect(store.getState().snippets.items).toEqual(mockSnippets)

Testing error handling

mockDb.save.mockRejectedValue(new Error('Failed'))

await store.dispatch(createSnippet(data))

expect(store.getState().snippets.error).toBeTruthy()

Testing async middleware

enablePersistence()
updatePersistenceConfig({ debounceMs: 0 })

await store.dispatch(createSnippet(data))
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 50))

expect(mockSaveDB).toHaveBeenCalled()

Key Assertions Used

expect(state.items).toEqual([])          // State shape
expect(state.loading).toBe(false)        // Boolean state
expect(state.error).toBeNull()           // Null check
expect(state.selectedIds).toContain('1') // Array contains
expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalled()          // Mock called
expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalledWith(arg)   // Mock args
expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)    // Call count

Common Test Scenarios

Happy Path (Success)

• Test successful operation
• Verify state updated correctly
• Check loading set to false
• Confirm error cleared

Error Path (Failure)

• Test failed operation
• Verify error set correctly
• Check loading set to false
• Confirm state unchanged

Edge Cases

• Empty arrays/lists
• Null/undefined values
• Duplicate operations
• State transitions
• Concurrency scenarios

Test Organization

Each test file follows this structure:

describe('componentName', () => {
  let store

  beforeEach(() => {
    // Setup
    store = configureStore({ ... })
  })

  describe('initial state', () => {
    it('should initialize correctly', () => { ... })
  })

  describe('reducers', () => {
    describe('actionName', () => {
      it('should do X', () => { ... })
    })
  })

  describe('async thunks', () => {
    describe('thunkName', () => {
      it('should do Y', () => { ... })
    })
  })
})

Debugging Tips

View current state

console.log(store.getState())
console.log(store.getState().snippets)

Check mock calls

console.log(mockDb.save.mock.calls)
console.log(mockDb.save.mock.results)

Test single assertion

it.only('should test this one', () => { ... })

Skip a test

it.skip('should skip this', () => { ... })

Increase timeout for slow tests

it('slow test', async () => { ... }, 10000)

Performance Notes

• Tests complete in ~2.4 seconds
• No memory leaks
• Proper async cleanup
• Queue prevents race conditions
• Debouncing batches operations

Known Patterns

Mock Reset

beforeEach(() => {
  jest.clearAllMocks()
  resetPersistenceConfig()
})

Async Wait

await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 50))

State Snapshot

const state = store.getState()
expect(state.snippets).toBeDefined()

Troubleshooting

Tests fail with "worker process terminated"

• Run smaller batch of tests
• Check for infinite loops
• Verify async timeouts

Mock not called

• Verify action type in config
• Check dispatch syntax
• Ensure await on thunk

State not updated

• Check reducer logic
• Verify async thunk fulfilled
• Check beforeEach setup

Reading Test Results

✓ Test name (123 ms)    -> PASSED
✕ Test name             -> FAILED
⊙ Test name            -> SKIPPED

Next Steps

After running tests:

1. Review failing tests (if any)
2. Check test names for coverage areas
3. Read assertions to understand expected behavior
4. Reference documentation for detailed info
