# Test Skill Runs the right tests for what changed — fast feedback without running everything. ## Steps ### 1. Detect changed files ```bash git diff --name-only HEAD ``` Or, if checking staged changes: ```bash git diff --name-only --staged ``` ### 2. Pick the right test command Use this decision table based on which directories have changed files: | Changed path | Test command | |---|---| | `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/` | `cd src/Elastic.Documentation.Site && npm run test` | | `src/Elastic.Markdown/` | `dotnet test tests/Elastic.Markdown.Tests/` | | `src/Elastic.Documentation.Configuration/` | `dotnet test tests/Elastic.Documentation.Configuration.Tests/` | | `src/Elastic.Documentation.Navigation/` or `Navigation.Tests/` | `dotnet test tests/Navigation.Tests/` | | `src/Elastic.ApiExplorer/` | `dotnet test tests/Elastic.ApiExplorer.Tests/` | | `tests-integration/` | `./build.sh integrate` | | `src/tooling/docs-builder/` | `./build.sh unit-test` | | Multiple areas or uncertain | `./build.sh unit-test` | If files span more than two source areas, prefer `./build.sh unit-test` to run all unit tests at once. ### 3. Run and report - Show the command being run - On **pass**: summarize pass count, confirm all green - On **fail**: show the specific failing test(s), the error message, and suggest a fix approach based on the failure ## Notes - Integration tests (`./build.sh integrate`) require cloned repos and take significantly longer — only run when integration test files changed or the user explicitly asks - When in doubt, `./build.sh unit-test` is the safe default (completes in under a minute) - TypeScript type checking (not tests) is `npm run compile:check` from `src/Elastic.Documentation.Site/`
