## Strict No-Any Policy
**CRITICAL**: The `any` type is FORBIDDEN throughout the codebase, including all test files.
### Type Safety Requirements
```typescript
// ❌ FORBIDDEN - Will fail linting and compilation
const mockData = {} as any;
const result = (response as any).data;
const calls = (vi.fn as any).mock.calls;
// ✅ CORRECT - Use proper types or type assertions
const mockData = {} as MockDataType;
const result = (response as { data: string }).data;
const calls = (vi.fn as unknown as { mock: { calls: unknown[][] } }).mock.calls;
// ✅ For mocked functions, use proper generics
const mockFn = vi.fn<[string, number], void>();
const mockApi = createMockLokaliseApi(); // Returns properly typed MockLokaliseApi interface
```
### Type Assertion Best Practices
1. **Use `unknown` as intermediate type**: When casting between incompatible types
2. **Create proper interfaces**: Define interfaces for mock structures
3. **Use vi.fn generics**: Specify argument and return types for mocked functions
4. **Never suppress errors with `any`**: Fix the underlying type issue instead
### Mock Type Examples
```typescript
// Define proper mock interfaces
interface MockServerTool {
mock: {
calls: Array<[string, string, unknown, (args: unknown) => Promise<unknown>]>
}
}
// Use in tests
const mockTool = server.tool as unknown as MockServerTool;
const calls = mockTool.mock.calls;
// For Lokalise API mocks
const mockApi: MockLokaliseApi = createMockLokaliseApi();
```

## Three-Tier Mocking Architecture
### Overview
Our testing infrastructure uses three distinct mocking approaches, each serving a specific purpose in isolating and testing different layers of the application. Understanding when to use each type is crucial for writing effective tests.
### The Three Mock Types
#### 1. Module Mocks (`__mocks__/`)
**Purpose**: Replace entire modules with mock implementations for unit testing
**Location**: `src/domains/{domain}/__mocks__/{module}.js`
**Usage**: Testing layers in complete isolation (e.g., testing tools without controllers)
```typescript
// src/domains/projects/__mocks__/projects.controller.js
import { vi } from "vitest";
export default {
listProjects: vi.fn(),
getProjectDetails: vi.fn(),
createProject: vi.fn(),
updateProject: vi.fn(),
deleteProject: vi.fn(),
emptyProject: vi.fn(),
};
```
**When to use**:
- Testing the tool layer → mock the controller
- Testing the resource layer → mock the controller
- Testing the CLI layer → mock the controller
- Focus: "Does layer A correctly call layer B with proper arguments?"
#### 2. Mock Builders (`mock-builders/`)
**Purpose**: Create realistic test data with a fluent API
**Location**: `src/test-utils/mock-builders/{domain}.mock.ts`
**Usage**: Building complex, realistic test objects for data transformation tests
```typescript
// Create realistic test data
const mockData = new ProjectsMockBuilder()
.withProject({ name: "Test Project", keys_total: 150 })
.withPagination(1, 100)
.build();
```
**When to use**:
- Testing controllers → need realistic service responses
- Testing formatters → need realistic input data
- Testing data transformations and business logic
- Focus: "Does the layer process data correctly?"
#### 3. Mock Factory (`mock-factory.ts`)
**Purpose**: Create mock Lokalise API client for service layer testing
**Location**: `src/test-utils/mock-factory.ts`
**Usage**: Mocking external API dependencies with error simulation
```typescript
// Create mock API client with failure simulation
const mockApi = createMockLokaliseApi({
failOnMethod: "projects.list", // Simulate API error
delay: 100 // Simulate network delay
});
```
**When to use**:
- Testing the service layer → mock the Lokalise API
- Testing API error handling
- Testing network delays and timeouts
- Focus: "Does the service handle API responses/errors correctly?"
### Layer Testing Strategy
| Layer Being Tested | What Gets Mocked | Mock Type Used | Test Focus |
|-------------------|------------------|----------------|------------|
| Tool Layer | Controller | Module Mock (`__mocks__`) | Input validation, controller invocation |
| Resource Layer | Controller | Module Mock (`__mocks__`) | URI parsing, controller invocation |
| CLI Layer | Controller | Module Mock (`__mocks__`) | Command parsing, controller invocation |
| Controller Layer | Service | Module Mock + Mock Builders | Business logic, data transformation |
| Service Layer | Lokalise API | Mock Factory | API interaction, error handling |
| Formatter Layer | Nothing | Mock Builders for input | Markdown formatting, output structure |
### Example: Testing Flow for `projects` Domain
```typescript
// 1. Testing projects.tool.test.ts (Tool Layer)
vi.mock("./projects.controller.js"); // Uses __mocks__/projects.controller.js
// Test: "When tool receives projectId='123', does it call controller.getProjectDetails('123')?"
// 2. Testing projects.controller.test.ts (Controller Layer)
vi.mock("./projects.service.js"); // Mock the service
const mockData = new ProjectsMockBuilder().withProject({...}).build();
mockedService.getProjects.mockResolvedValue(mockData);
// Test: "When controller receives request, does it validate and transform correctly?"
// 3. Testing projects.service.test.ts (Service Layer)
const mockApi = createMockLokaliseApi();
mockGetLokaliseApi.mockReturnValue(mockApi as unknown as LokaliseApi);
// Test: "When service calls API, does it handle responses/errors correctly?"
```
### Key Principles
1. **Isolation**: Each layer is tested independently
2. **Speed**: Module mocks avoid real implementations
3. **Realism**: Mock builders provide realistic data structures
4. **Flexibility**: Mock factory simulates various API scenarios
5. **Maintainability**: Changes to one layer don't break other tests
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- ❌ Don't use Mock Factory when testing controllers (too much integration)
- ❌ Don't manually create complex objects when Mock Builders exist
- ❌ Don't test multiple layers together in unit tests
- ❌ Don't forget to `vi.clearAllMocks()` between tests
- ✅ Use the right mock for the right layer
- ✅ Keep tests focused on a single layer's responsibilities
## Mock Builder Patterns
### Overview
Mock builders are the cornerstone of our testing infrastructure, providing a fluent API for creating complex test data. They eliminate the need for manual mock creation and ensure type safety across all domains.
### Available Mock Builders
**Domain-Specific Builders**:
- `KeysMockBuilder` - Keys domain mock creation
- `ProjectsMockBuilder` - Projects domain mock creation
- `TasksMockBuilder` - Tasks domain mock creation
- `LanguagesMockBuilder` - Languages domain mock creation
### Basic Usage Examples
#### ProjectsMockBuilder
```typescript
import { ProjectsMockBuilder } from "../../test-utils/mock-builders/projects.mock.js";
// Basic project creation
const mockBuilder = new ProjectsMockBuilder();
const project = mockBuilder
.withProject({
name: "Test Project",
project_id: "123abc",
statistics: { keys_total: 100 }
})
.withPagination(1, 10)
.build();
console.log(project.items[0].name); // "Test Project"
console.log(project.totalResults); // 1
```
#### KeysMockBuilder
```typescript
import { KeysMockBuilder } from "../../test-utils/mock-builders/keys.mock.js";
// Complex key with translations
const mockBuilder = new KeysMockBuilder();
const response = mockBuilder
.withKey({
key_id: generators.key.id(),
description: "Test key description"
})
.withTranslations([
{ language_iso: "en", translation: "Hello" },
{ language_iso: "fr", translation: "Bonjour" }
])
.withKey({ description: "Another test key" })
.withCursorPagination("cursor-123", 50)
.build();
console.log(response.items.length); // 2
console.log(response.nextCursor); // "cursor-123"
```
#### TasksMockBuilder
```typescript
import { TasksMockBuilder } from "../../test-utils/mock-builders/tasks.mock.js";
// Task with specific properties
const mockBuilder = new TasksMockBuilder();
const tasks = mockBuilder
.withTask({
title: "Translate Mobile App",
status: "new",
progress: { total: 100, completed: 25 }
})
.withTask({
title: "Review Translations",
status: "in_progress"
})
.withPagination(1, 20)
.build();
console.log(tasks.items[0].progress.completed); // 25
```
#### LanguagesMockBuilder
```typescript
import { LanguagesMockBuilder } from "../../test-utils/mock-builders/languages.mock.js";
// System languages
const mockBuilder = new LanguagesMockBuilder();
const languages = mockBuilder
.withLanguage({
lang_iso: "en",
lang_name: "English",
is_rtl: false
})
.withLanguage({
lang_iso: "ar",
lang_name: "Arabic",
is_rtl: true
})
.build();
console.log(languages.items.length); // 2
console.log(languages.items[1].is_rtl); // true
```
### Advanced Usage Patterns
#### Fluent API Chaining
```typescript
const complexResponse = new KeysMockBuilder()
.withKey({ platforms: ["web", "ios"] })
.withTranslations([
{ language_iso: "en", translation: "Hello World" },
{ language_iso: "es", translation: "Hola Mundo" }
])
.withKey({ platforms: ["android"] })
.withTranslations([
{ language_iso: "en", translation: "Goodbye" }
])
.withCursorPagination("next-cursor", 100)
.build();
```
#### Bulk Operations
```typescript
// Create bulk result for testing create operations
const mockBuilder = new ProjectsMockBuilder();
const bulkResult = mockBuilder
.withProject({ name: "Project 1" })
.withProject({ name: "Project 2" })
.buildBulkResult([
{ item: { name: "Failed Project" }, message: "Name already exists" }
]);
console.log(bulkResult.items.length); // 2 successful
console.log(bulkResult.errors.length); // 1 error
```
#### Pagination Scenarios
```typescript
// Standard pagination
const standardPaginated = mockBuilder
.withProject({ name: "Project 1" })
.withProject({ name: "Project 2" })
.withPagination(2, 1) // page 2, limit 1
.build();
// Cursor pagination
const cursorPaginated = mockBuilder
.withProject({ name: "Project A" })
.withCursorPagination("eyJpZCI6MTAwfQ==", 50)
.build();
console.log(standardPaginated.currentPage); // 2
console.log(cursorPaginated.nextCursor); // "eyJpZCI6MTAwfQ=="
```
### Mock Builder Best Practices
#### 1. Fresh Instances Per Test
```typescript
describe("FormatterTests", () => {
let mockBuilder: ProjectsMockBuilder;
beforeEach(() => {
mockBuilder = new ProjectsMockBuilder(); // Fresh instance
});
it("should work independently", () => {
const result = mockBuilder.withProject({ name: "Test" }).build();
// Clean state guaranteed
});
});
```
#### 2. Use Generators for Dynamic Data
```typescript
import { generators } from "../../test-utils/fixture-helpers/generators.js";
const mockBuilder = new KeysMockBuilder();
const response = mockBuilder
.withKey({
key_id: generators.key.id(),
key_name: generators.key.name(),
created_at: generators.timestamp().formatted
})
.build();
```
#### 3. Domain-Specific Extensions
```typescript
// Keys domain - add translations to last key
mockBuilder
.withKey({ description: "Base key" })
.withTranslations([
{ language_iso: "en", translation: "English text" }
]);
// Tasks domain - add assignees to last task
mockBuilder
.withTask({ title: "Review task" })
.withAssignees([
{ user_id: 123, email: "reviewer@test.com" }
]);
```
### Type Safety Features
All mock builders provide complete type safety:
```typescript
// ✅ TypeScript will validate all properties
const typedResult: PaginatedResult<Project> = mockBuilder
.withProject({
name: "Test Project", // ✅ Required property
project_id: "123", // ✅ Valid type
// TypeScript ensures all required props are provided
})
.build();
// ✅ Method chaining with proper return types
const chainedBuilder = mockBuilder
.withProject({ name: "A" }) // Returns ProjectsMockBuilder
.withPagination(1, 10); // Returns ProjectsMockBuilder
```
## Fixture Management
### Static Fixtures
**Fixture Organization**:
```typescript
// src/domains/keys/__fixtures__/keys.fixtures.ts
export const keysListFixture: Key[] = [
createBaseKey({
key_id: 15519786,
description: "Static test key",
platforms: ["ios"]
})
];
export const keyRetrieveFixture: Key = createBaseKeyWithTranslations({
key_id: 74189435,
translations: [/* ... */]
});
```
**Helper Functions**:
```typescript
// Create reusable base objects
const createBaseKey = (overrides: Partial<Key> = {}): Key => ({
key_id: 0,
created_at: "",
key_name: { ios: "", android: "", web: "", other: "" },
// ... default values
...overrides
});
// Mock API response helpers
export const createMockPaginatedResult = <T>(
items: T[],
options: PaginationOptions = {}
): PaginatedResult<T> => {
// ... implementation
};
export const createMockCursorPaginatedResult = <T>(
items: T[],
options: CursorOptions = {}
): CursorPaginatedResult<T> => {
// ... implementation
};
```
### Dynamic Fixtures
**Generated Test Data**:
```typescript
// Use generators for dynamic data
const dynamicKeys = Array.from({ length: 5 }, (_, index) =>
createBaseKey({
key_id: generators.key.id(),
key_name: generators.key.name(),
created_at: generators.timestamp(index).formatted
})
);
```
### Generator Functions
**Dynamic Data Generation**:
```typescript
export const generators = {
projectName: (index: number) => {
const names = ["Mobile App", "Web Platform", "Documentation"];
return names[index % names.length];
},
timestamp: (daysAgo = 0) => {
const date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() - daysAgo);
return {
timestamp: Math.floor(date.getTime() / 1000),
formatted: `${date.toISOString().replace("T", " ").split(".")[0]} (Etc/UTC)`
};
},
key: {
id: () => 10000000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 90000000),
name: () => `key.${Math.random().toString(36).substring(7)}`
}
};
```
## Test Writing Best Practices
### 1. Test Structure and Organization
**Follow AAA Pattern:**
```typescript
describe("ComponentName", () => {
it("should do something when condition is met", () => {
// Arrange
const mockBuilder = new KeysMockBuilder();
const input = mockBuilder.withKey({ description: "test" }).build();
// Act
const result = functionUnderTest(input);
// Assert
expect(result).toContain("expected output");
});
});
```
**Test Naming Convention:**
- Use descriptive test names that explain the behavior being tested
- Format: `"should [expected behavior] when [condition]"`
- Group related tests using `describe` blocks
### 2. Mock Management
**Use Fluent Mock Builders:**
```typescript
// ✅ Good: Using mock builder
const mockBuilder = new KeysMockBuilder();
const response = mockBuilder
.withKey({
key_id: generators.key.id(),
description: "Test key description"
})
.withTranslations([
{ language_iso: "en", translation: "Hello" }
])
.withPagination(1, 100)
.build();
```
**Avoid Inline Mock Creation:**
```typescript
// ❌ Bad: Manual mock creation
const response = {
items: [{
key_id: 123,
key_name: { web: "test" },
// ... 50+ more properties
}],
totalResults: 1
// ... more pagination properties
};
```
### 3. Date and Time Handling
**Consistent Date Mocking:**
```typescript
describe("FormatterTests", () => {
const mockDate = new Date("2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z");
let originalDate: DateConstructor;
beforeAll(() => {
originalDate = global.Date;
global.Date = class extends originalDate {
constructor(...args: ConstructorParameters<DateConstructor>) {
if (args.length === 0) {
super(mockDate.getTime());
} else {
super(...args);
}
}
static now() {
return mockDate.getTime();
}
} as DateConstructor;
// Preserve original static methods
global.Date.UTC = originalDate.UTC;
global.Date.parse = originalDate.parse;
});
afterAll(() => {
global.Date = originalDate;
});
});
```
### 4. Snapshot Testing Guidelines
**When to Use Snapshots:**
- Formatter output validation
- Complex data structure verification
- Regression prevention for UI components
**Snapshot Best Practices:**
- Use descriptive test names for snapshot identification
- Mock dates and dynamic data for consistent snapshots
- Review snapshot changes carefully during updates
- Keep snapshots focused and not overly large
### 5. Custom Vitest Matchers
**Domain-Specific Validation:**
```typescript
// Custom matchers available in setup.ts
expect(response.projectId).toBeValidLokaliseId();
expect(response.createdAt).toBeISODate();
expect(paginatedResult).toHavePaginationMethods();
expect(cursorResult).toHaveCursorPagination();
expect(value).toBeWithinRange(1, 100);
```
## Common Test Fixes and Solutions
### 1. TypeScript Compilation Errors
**Problem:** Mock builders not matching SDK types
```typescript
// ❌ Error: Property missing from type
const mockResult: PaginatedResult<Key> = {
items: [],
totalResults: 0
// Missing required pagination methods
};
```
**Solution:** Use mock builders with complete interface implementation
```typescript
// ✅ Fixed: Complete implementation via mock builder
const mockBuilder = new KeysMockBuilder();
const result = mockBuilder
.withKey({ description: "test" })
.withPagination(1, 100)
.build(); // Returns complete PaginatedResult<Key>
```
### 2. Pagination Type Issues
**Problem:** Confusion between standard and cursor pagination
```typescript
// ❌ Error: Type mismatch
const result: CursorPaginatedResult<Key> = standardPaginationResult;
```
**Solution:** Use appropriate mock builder methods
```typescript
// ✅ Fixed: Use correct pagination methods
const standardResult = mockBuilder.withPagination(1, 100).build();
const cursorResult = mockBuilder.withCursorPagination("cursor-123", 100).build();
```
### 3. Date Mocking Issues
**Problem:** Inconsistent timestamps in snapshots
```typescript
// ❌ Problem: Real dates create unstable snapshots
const result = formatKeysList(keys); // Contains "2024-08-24 15:32:41"
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot(); // Fails on different runs
```
**Solution:** Mock Date constructor consistently
```typescript
// ✅ Fixed: Use established date mocking pattern
const mockDate = new Date("2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z");
// [Date mocking setup as shown above]
```
### 4. Mock Builder State Management
**Problem:** State pollution between tests
```typescript
// ❌ Problem: Shared builder state
const builder = new KeysMockBuilder();
// Test 1 adds data
builder.withKey({ id: 1 });
// Test 2 gets unexpected data from Test 1
```
**Solution:** Fresh builder instances per test
```typescript
// ✅ Fixed: New instance per test
describe("Tests", () => {
let builder: KeysMockBuilder;
beforeEach(() => {
builder = new KeysMockBuilder();
});
});
```
### 5. Formatter Output Expectations
**Problem:** Tests expecting wrong format
```typescript
// ❌ Problem: Expecting raw data format
expect(result).toContain("key_id: 123");
```
**Solution:** Test formatted Markdown output
```typescript
// ✅ Fixed: Test actual formatter output
expect(result).toContain("**Key ID**: 123");
expect(result).toContain("# Translation Key Details");
```
## Domain Testing Guidelines
### Formatter Tests
**Structure with Mock Builders**:
```typescript
describe("DomainFormatter", () => {
let mockBuilder: DomainMockBuilder;
beforeEach(() => {
mockBuilder = new DomainMockBuilder();
});
describe("formatDomainList", () => {
it("should format list using mock builder", () => {
const response = mockBuilder
.withItem({ name: "Test Item" })
.withItem({ name: "Another Item" })
.withPagination(1, 10)
.build();
const result = formatDomainList(response, projectId);
expect(result).toContain("2 items found");
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot();
});
it("should handle cursor pagination", () => {
const response = mockBuilder
.withItem({ name: "Cursor Test" })
.withCursorPagination("next-cursor", 50)
.build();
const result = formatDomainList(response, projectId);
expect(result).toContain("Next cursor: next-cursor");
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot();
});
it("should handle empty list", () => {
const response = mockBuilder.build(); // Empty by default
const result = formatDomainList(response, projectId);
expect(result).toContain("No items found");
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot();
});
});
describe("Edge Cases", () => {
it("should handle null values gracefully", () => {
const response = mockBuilder
.withItem({ name: null as unknown, description: undefined as unknown })
.build();
const result = formatDomainDetails(response.items[0], projectId);
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot();
});
it("should handle special characters", () => {
const response = mockBuilder
.withItem({ name: "Item with <b>HTML</b> & \"quotes\"" })
.build();
const result = formatDomainDetails(response.items[0], projectId);
expect(result).toMatchSnapshot();
});
});
});
```
### Controller Tests
```typescript
describe("DomainController", () => {
let mockBuilder: DomainMockBuilder;
let mockService: jest.Mocked<DomainService>;
beforeEach(() => {
mockBuilder = new DomainMockBuilder();
mockService = {
list: jest.fn(),
get: jest.fn(),
create: jest.fn()
} as jest.Mocked<DomainService>;
});
it("should handle successful operations", async () => {
const mockData = mockBuilder.withItem({ name: "Test" }).build();
mockService.list.mockResolvedValue(mockData);
const result = await controller.list({ projectId: "test" });
expect(result.content).toContain("expected content");
expect(mockService.list).toHaveBeenCalledWith("test", {});
});
});
```
### Service Tests
```typescript
describe("DomainService", () => {
let mockBuilder: DomainMockBuilder;
let service: DomainService;
let mockApi: jest.Mocked<LokaliseApi>;
beforeEach(() => {
mockBuilder = new DomainMockBuilder();
mockApi = createMockLokaliseApi(); // Use mock factory
service = new DomainService();
});
it("should call API with correct parameters", async () => {
const mockResponse = mockBuilder.withItem({ name: "API Test" }).build();
const mockList = mockApi.domain().list as jest.Mock;
mockList.mockResolvedValue(mockResponse);
await service.list("projectId", { page: 1 });
expect(mockList).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
project_id: "projectId",
page: 1
});
});
});
```

# Run tests in watch mode
npm test -- --watch
# Run tests with verbose output
npm test -- --verbose
# Update snapshots
npm test -- --updateSnapshot
```
### Debugging Tests
```bash
# Run with debugging
node --inspect-brk node_modules/.bin/vitest --run
# Use VS Code debugger
# Set breakpoints and use "Debug Vitest Tests" configuration
# Console output during tests
import { restoreConsole } from '../test-utils/setup.js';
it('should debug output', () => {
restoreConsole(); // Temporarily restore console
console.log('Debug info');
// Your test code
});
```
## Best Practices Summary
### DO ✅
- Use mock builders for complex objects
- Create fresh builder instances per test
- Mock dates and dynamic data consistently
- Write descriptive test names
- Use snapshots for formatter output
- Group related tests with `describe`
- Clean up mocks between tests
- Test edge cases and error conditions
- Use custom matchers for domain validation
- Follow the AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
### DON'T ❌
- Create mocks manually for complex objects
- Share mock builder instances between tests
- Leave dynamic data in snapshots
- Write generic test names like "should work"
- Test implementation details instead of behavior
- Share state between tests
- Ignore TypeScript errors in tests
- Skip edge case testing
- Use `any` types in test code
- Copy-paste tests without adaptation
### Testing Mantras
1. **"Use mock builders always"** - They provide type safety and consistency
2. **"Fresh instances per test"** - Avoid state pollution between tests
3. **"Test behavior, not implementation"** - Focus on what the code does
4. **"Arrange, Act, Assert"** - Structure tests clearly
5. **"Mock at the boundaries"** - Mock external dependencies
6. **"Make tests readable"** - Tests are documentation
