issues-tests

Project rules for backend testing with QuarkusTest, REST Assured, JUnit, and shared test helpers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding backend tests, writing endpoint tests, seeding test data, checking architecture, or testing asynchronous behavior.
Why use it?
They provide consistent expectations for testing HTTP endpoints and application behavior while preventing practices that hide or weaken failures.

Cursor rule for Cursor

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 440 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

issues-tests 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Test conventions

Part of development-process.mdc phase 5. Every approved task must have corresponding tests listed in the feature changelog Test coverage table before the entry is marked done.

Annotations

  • @QuarkusTest on REST integration tests.
  • Plain JUnit for unit tests (e.g. TicketHistoryServiceTest, ArchitectureTest).

REST Assured

  • Test HTTP via REST Assured against @QuarkusTest running app.
  • Authenticate with JWT from login endpoint or test helpers when needed.

Given builder

  • Given in src/test/java/dev/vepo/issues/Given.java — seed users, projects, tickets.
  • Prefer Given over duplicating SQL in each test.
  • Call cleanup when tests mutate shared state (if extended).

Domain narrative

  • Method names: shouldMoveTicketWhenTransitionIsValid().
  • Structure: given context → when action → then assertion on domain outcome.
  • Meaningful assertions — not isNotNull() alone.

Architecture tests

  • Run ArchitectureTest when adding/changing *Request/*Response or endpoints.

Forbidden

  • @Disabled to hide failures.
  • Thread.sleep() — use Awaitility for async/SSE if needed.
  • Weakening assertions to force green.
  • Leaving Red-phase tests failing at session end without revert — complete Green or revert the test and production stub.

Example

@Test
void shouldCreateTicketWithProjectPrefixIdentifier() {
    var project = Given.aProjectWithPrefix("ISS");
    var response = given()
        .body(new CreateTicketRequest(project.id(), "Title", "Desc", null))
        .when().post("/api/tickets")
        .then().statusCode(200)
        .extract().as(TicketResponse.class);
    assertThat(response.identifier()).startsWith("ISS-");
}

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.

issues-tests is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository vepo/issues (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 440 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 2026-08-31.
