Testing

Technical reference for the helldivers.bot testing infrastructure. Audience: project owner and AI assistants.

Overview

The project uses Vitest for all tests, with two separate configs:

• Unit tests (vitest.config.mjs) — utilities, validators, API route handlers, queries, features, and shared modules
• Smoke tests (vitest.smoke.config.mjs) — HTTP-level checks against a running dev server

Tests live in src/__tests__/ following conventions from the euraika/aegis projects.

Root-level config files:

---

NPM Scripts

Note: Smoke tests require a running dev server at http://localhost:3000. Never start the dev server from Claude — ask the user.

---

Vitest Configuration

Environment: node (default). Component tests opt in to jsdom via per-file comment:

// @vitest-environment jsdom

Globals: true — describe, test, expect, vi are available without import.

Path aliases:

• @ → ./src (matches jsconfig.json)
• @test-utils → ./src/__tests__/utils

Coverage:

• Provider: v8
• Reporters: text, html
• Excludes: src/generated/**, test files, src/__tests__/**, malformed enum files

No global thresholds are set yet — add them once meaningful coverage exists.

---

Global Mocks (vitest.setup.mjs)

The setup file runs before each test file and provides mocks for:

BetterAuth

// Default: logged out (null session)
// Override in tests:
import { auth } from '@/auth';
vi.mocked(auth.api.getSession).mockResolvedValue(createMockSession());

Prisma Client

All models from the schema are mocked with stub CRUD methods (findMany, findUnique, create, update, delete, etc.). The mock targets @/db/db (the singleton export).

import db from '@/db/db';
vi.mocked(db.h1_season.findMany).mockResolvedValue([{ id: 1, season: 1 }]);

Next.js Modules

• next/navigation — useRouter, usePathname, useSearchParams, redirect, notFound
• next/headers — headers, cookies
• next/image — passthrough (no optimization)
• next/link — passthrough

All mocks are cleared via vi.clearAllMocks() in beforeEach.

---

Test Utilities

Location: src/__tests__/utils/index.mjs (importable as @test-utils)

createMockRequest(url, method, body, headers)

Wraps new Request() for API route handler tests. Sets content-type: application/json by default.

createMockSession(overrides)

Returns a BetterAuth session object with user and session sub-objects (test user, 24h expiry). Merge overrides for custom scenarios.

createMockModel()

Returns a Prisma model stub with all standard CRUD methods as vi.fn(). Useful for ad-hoc mocks beyond what vitest.setup.mjs provides.

---

Test Naming Conventions

---

API Route Testing Pattern

App Router route handlers are tested by importing the handler directly:

vi.mock('@/db/db', () => ({ default: { $queryRaw: vi.fn() } }));
import db from '@/db/db';
import { GET } from '@/app/api/healthcheck/route';

test('returns 200 when database is reachable', async () => {
    db.$queryRaw.mockResolvedValue([{ '?column?': 1 }]);
    const res = await GET(new Request('http://localhost/api/healthcheck'));
    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
});

For routes that depend on Prisma or auth, mock those modules first — the global mocks in vitest.setup.mjs handle the defaults.

---

Smoke Test Configuration

Smoke tests use a separate Vitest config (vitest.smoke.config.mjs) — not Playwright.

• Test directory: src/__tests__/smoke/
• Config: vitest.smoke.config.mjs
• Timeout: 30 seconds per test (network requests to running dev server)
• Base URL: http://localhost:3000

---
