project-testing

A testing guide for ai-viewer, a project with a Go backend and a React user interface. It requires automated tests to be written before implementation and covers regular tests, race checks, coverage, fixtures, and benchmarks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing tests, investigating continuous-integration failures, maintaining test fixtures, checking concurrent Go code, measuring coverage, or running benchmarks.
Why use it?
It gives contributors consistent commands and rules for checking both server and browser-side code. This reduces the risk of shipping behavior that has not been tested.

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

project-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 — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Testing

Core Principle

Untested code is broken code. The operator does not manually test for the assistant. Every behavior the project ships has at least one automated test exercising it. Manual UI walkthroughs are diagnostics for the assistant; they are not proof of correctness. If a behavior cannot be tested, the design is wrong — refactor until it can be.

Tests are written before the implementation (see project-workflow). A failing test is the executable contract; the implementation makes it pass without weakening it.

Test Commands

# All Go tests (run during regular dev)
go test ./...

# With race detector (required in CI; also run before commits touching concurrency)
go test -race ./...

# One adapter
go test ./internal/adapters/aiagent_v3

# Update golden files for a single adapter
go test ./internal/adapters/aiagent_v3 -update-golden

# Coverage
go test -cover ./...
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./... && go tool cover -html=coverage.out

# Benchmarks
go test ./internal/adapters/... -bench=. -benchmem

# Frontend
cd frontend && npm test                  # vitest watch mode
cd frontend && npm test -- --run         # one-shot
cd frontend && npm run e2e               # playwright headless
AI_VIEWER_E2E_PORT=17710 npm run e2e     # use a different local E2E port
cd frontend && npm run e2e -- --headed   # playwright debug
cd frontend && npm run e2e -- --ui       # playwright UI mode

# Full pre-commit check
./scripts/lint.sh && go test -race ./... && cd frontend && npm test -- --run && npm run lint

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.

project-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository netdata/ai-viewer (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,190 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
