compose-ui-testing-patterns

compose-ui-testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from costular/Minitask. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Use when writing or reviewing Jetpack Compose UI tests, screenshot tests, previews, semantics assertions, fake image loading, keyboard input, focus assertions, interaction state (hover/pressed/focused), or tests for plain state-driven UI composables.

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

compose-ui-testing-patterns 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 today.

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.

Compose: UI testing patterns

Core principle

Test the smallest UI contract that proves the behavior. Prefer plain state-driven UI tests with callbacks. Add integration only when lifecycle, navigation, DI, or platform behavior is the thing under test.

Test target choice

What you need to prove Test shape
Text, button, loading/error branch, conditional content Plain UI Compose test
Callback wiring from click/input Plain UI Compose test
Focus navigation or keyboard behavior Compose test with key input
Visual layout, clipping, elevation, typography, image composition Screenshot test
State holder updates UI correctly State holder/unit test plus one wiring smoke test
Hover, pressed, focused, dragged interaction state Plain UI test with MutableInteractionSource
Navigation, lifecycle, DI integration Integration test

Prefer plain UI tests

If the screen has a state holder/UI split, test the plain UI composable:

composeTestRule.setContent {
    ProfileScreen(
        state = ProfileUiState(name = "Ada", canSave = true),
        onNameChange = {},
        onSaveClick = { saved = true },
        onBackClick = {},
    )
}

composeTestRule.onNodeWithText("Ada").assertIsDisplayed()
composeTestRule.onNodeWithText("Save").performClick()

assertThat(saved).isTrue()

This avoids constructing ViewModels, components, repositories, navigation, and dependency graphs for layout behavior.

Semantics first

Assert semantics when behavior is semantic:

  • Text exists: onNodeWithText.
  • Button is enabled/disabled: assertIsEnabled, assertIsNotEnabled.
  • Content is selected/focused/toggled: use semantics assertions.
  • Content is absent: assertDoesNotExist.

Use test tags for nodes that have no stable user-visible text or where multiple nodes share text. Do not use tags as the first choice for all assertions; user-visible semantics are usually stronger.

Callback testing

Use simple counters or captured values:

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.
