The full testing guide lives at .claude/guides/testing-patterns.md. Read it for the complete reference, then apply the patterns below.

When this applies

• Writing or fixing unit tests (Vitest) or e2e tests (Playwright)
• Setting up mocks, fixtures, or page objects
• Running the test suites

Unit tests (Vitest)

• Co-locate in apps/chat/src/[feature]/__tests__/*.test.ts(x).
• Follow Arrange / Act / Assert with comments.
• Name tests it('should ...').
• Mock with vi.mock(); wrap mock factories in vi.hoisted() so they hoist before module evaluation.

import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';

describe('ErrorMessageDiv', () => {
  it('should render the error message', () => {
    // Arrange
    render(<ErrorMessageDiv error={error} />);
    // Act
    const title = screen.getByText(error.title);
    // Assert
    expect(title).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

E2E tests (Playwright)

• Place in apps/chat-e2e/src/tests/[feature].test.ts.
• Import the fixture: import { dialTest as test } from '@/src/core/dialFixtures'.
• Use page objects from apps/chat-e2e/src/ui/ and builders from testData/.
