testing-best-practices

Shared testing guidance for client and server code, covering asynchronous tests, Vitest APIs, and class-name checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing tests with Vitest, React Testing Library, user-event, or MSW, including tests that wait for loading states or asynchronous results.
Why use it?
It gives tests a consistent structure and helps avoid common mistakes when checking delayed updates, mock functions, and rendered elements.

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

testing-best-practices 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 3d 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.

Storybook ^10.3.5

Async Patterns

Pattern Use when
findByRole(...) Element appears after async work
waitFor(() => expect(...)) Condition becomes true after re-renders
waitForElementToBeRemoved(...) Loading spinner disappears
queryByRole(...) Assert something is NOT in DOM

Async 斷言用 findBy*queryBy* + waitForgetBy* 保留給同步檢查。

Vitest API Cheatsheet

API When
vi.fn() Standalone mock function
vi.spyOn(obj, 'method') Watch/override method(.mockRestore() 可用)
vi.mock('module') Hoisted,替換整個 module(最後手段)
vi.mocked(fn) Type-safe 存取 mock methods
beforeEach(() => vi.clearAllMocks()) Reset call counts
afterEach(() => vi.restoreAllMocks()) Restore originals(與 vi.spyOn 搭配)

Asserting className

專案 cn() 包了 twMerge 自動解決衝突。斷言 className 時:

  • 斷言 semantic token(行為契約)
    expect(el.className).toMatch(/\bz-modal\b/);
    expect(button).toHaveClass('bg-accent');
    
  • ⚠️ 避免斷言精調 utility(易被視覺微調破)
    expect(el).toHaveClass('p-4 text-sm w-5');  // 微調 padding 時 fail
    

Semantic token 作為 behavior assertion 合理;任意 utility 值(p-4text-sm)是 implementation detail,不斷言。

Vitest vs Storybook Play Function

Aspect Vitest + RTL Storybook Play
Purpose Logic / state / integration / errors Visual states / a11y / interaction demos
Environment jsdom (Node) Real browser
Speed Fast, CI-first Slower, visual regression

Test behavior in Vitest;Storybook 用於 visual snapshota11y audit。不重複兩邊都寫。

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

testing-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository recca0120/code-quest (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 1,061 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
