frontend-testing

Rules for testing frontend components with Vitest in a browser-like environment and Testing Library queries. They also define conventions for test data and service mocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to test mounted frontend components, choose accessible queries, create deterministic test data, mock SDK services, and run all or selected frontend tests.
Why use it?
They make interface tests reflect how users interact with the application while keeping tests focused and repeatable.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 1,519 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontend-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Testing Rules

Style ("small test" practice — stable boundary, data over mocks, focused assertions, concise makeMe): always-applied unit-testing.mdc — follow that first.

Test Commands

From the repo root:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm frontend:test

Run tests with browser rendering UI:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm frontend:test:ui

Run tests in browser-rendered watch mode:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm frontend:test:watch

Run a single test file from the repo root:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm frontend:test tests/path/to/TestFile.spec.ts

Or only the frontend package:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm -C frontend test tests/path/to/TestFile.spec.ts

Run a specific test case:

CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c pnpm -C frontend test -t "test name pattern"

The test file path is relative to frontend/. Do not use pnpm ... test -- tests/...; the -- is forwarded to Vitest and file filtering is skipped.

In most situations, run all unit tests instead of a selected file only. Use a single test file when actively debugging or iterating on a specific component.

Component Behavior

  • Drive the mounted component / page ("small test" style per unit-testing.mdc); cover lower layers with realistic makeMe props/state, not by testing internal helpers in isolation.
  • Test through user interactions; assert observable DOM outcomes.
  • Use data-testid for test selectors.
  • Use Vitest browser mode and prefer real browser rendering over mocking sibling components or internal modules; stop using jsdom.

Routing assertions

Navigation assertions use named locations (or helpers that return them). Rendered-href assertions use noteShowHref. Path strings belong only in routes.spec.ts (matching / redirects) and inbound URL classifiers. Test routers that resolve named screen locations use production routes or dummyRouteRecordsFromMetadata (the routeMetadata table with dummy components; no page imports). Catch-all / or /:pathMatch(.*)* routers and useRoute stubs with path: "/" are not a second screen dialect (Proposed ADR 0005).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

frontend-testing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository nerds-odd-e/doughnut (49 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,519 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
