## API Tests
|
|
|
|
The following parts are about the kinds of tests in the API package and how to run them.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequesites
|
|
|
|
To run any kind of test, you need to specify Vikunja's [root path](https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#rootpath).
|
|
This is required to make sure all test fixtures are correctly loaded.
|
|
|
|
The easies way to do that is to set the environment variable `VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ROOTPATH` to the path where you cloned the working directory.
|
|
|
|
### Unit tests
|
|
|
|
To run unit tests with [mage]({{< ref "mage.md">}}), execute
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight bash >}}
|
|
mage test:unit
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
In Vikunja, everything that is not an integration test counts as unit test - even if it accesses the db.
|
|
This definition is a bit blurry, but we haven't found a better one yet.
|
|
|
|
### Integration tests
|
|
|
|
All integration tests live in `pkg/integrations`.
|
|
You can run them by executing `mage test:integration`.
|
|
|
|
The integration tests use the same config and fixtures as the unit tests and therefor have the same options available,
|
|
see at the beginning of this document.
|
|
|
|
To run integration tests, use `mage test:integration`.
|
|
|
|
### Running tests with config
|
|
|
|
You can run tests with all available config variables if you want, enabeling you to run tests for a lot of scenarios.
|
|
We use this in CI to run all tests with different databases.
|
|
|
|
To use the normal config set the enviroment variable `VIKUNJA_TESTS_USE_CONFIG=1`.
|
|
|
|
### Showing sql queries
|
|
|
|
When the environment variable `UNIT_TESTS_VERBOSE=1` is set, all sql queries will be shown during the test run.
|
|
|
|
### Fixtures
|
|
|
|
All tests are run against a set of db fixtures.
|
|
These fixtures are defined in `pkg/models/fixtures` in YAML-Files which represent the database structure.
|
|
|
|
When you add a new test case which requires new database entries to test against, update these files.
|
|
|
|
#### Initializing db fixtures when writing tests
|
|
|
|
All db fixtures for all tests live in the `pkg/db/fixtures/` folder as yaml files.
|
|
Each file has the same name as the table the fixtures are for.
|
|
You should put new fixtures in this folder.
|
|
|
|
When initializing db fixtures, you are responsible for defining which tables your package needs in your test init function.
|
|
Usually, this is done as follows (this code snippet is taken from the `user` package):
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight go >}}
|
|
err = db.InitTestFixtures("users")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
In your actual tests, you then load the fixtures into the in-memory db like so:
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight go >}}
|
|
db.LoadAndAssertFixtures(t)
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
This will load all fixtures you defined in your test init method.
|
|
You should always use this method to load fixtures, the only exception is when your package tests require extra test
|
|
fixtures other than db fixtures (like files).
|
|
|
|
## Frontend tests
|
|
|
|
The frontend has end to end tests with Cypress that use a Vikunja instance and drive a browser against it.
|
|
Check out the docs [in the frontend repo](https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/frontend/src/branch/main/cypress/README.md) about how they work and how to get them running.
|
|
|
|
### Unit Tests
|
|
|
|
To run the frontend unit tests, run
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight bash >}}
|
|
yarn test:unit
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
The frontend also has a watcher available that re-runs all unit tests every time you change something.
|
|
To use it, simply run
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight bash >}}
|
|
yarn test:unit-watch
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
