Vigil Guard E2E Testing (v2.0.0)

Overview

Comprehensive testing framework for Vigil Guard v2.0.0 using Vitest, with 8 test files covering 3-branch parallel detection (Heuristics, Semantic, LLM Guard), arbiter decisions, PII detection, and language detection.

When to Use This Skill

• Writing new test cases for 3-branch detection
• Testing arbiter decision logic (weighted scoring)
• Debugging failing tests
• Creating test fixtures (malicious/benign prompts)
• Validating branch-specific detection
• Testing branch degradation handling
• Testing PII detection (Presidio dual-language)
• Testing language detection (hybrid algorithm)
• CI/CD test integration

Common Tasks

Write New Test Case

TDD Workflow:

cd services/workflow

# 1. Create fixture
cat > tests/fixtures/sql-injection-bypass.json << 'EOF'
{
  "description": "SQL injection with hex encoding",
  "prompt": "0x53454c454354202a2046524f4d207573657273",
  "expected_status": "BLOCKED",
  "expected_branch_a_min": 50,
  "bypass_technique": "hex_encoding"
}
EOF

# 2. Add test to suite
cat >> tests/e2e/vigil-detection.test.js << 'EOF'
test("Detects SQL injection with hex encoding", async () => {
  const result = await testWebhook(fixtures.sqlHexBypass);
  expect(result.arbiter_decision).toBe("BLOCK");
  expect(result.branch_results.A.score).toBeGreaterThan(50);
});
EOF

# 3. Run test (SHOULD FAIL)
npm test -- vigil-detection.test.js

# 4. Add detection pattern to heuristics-service

# 5. Re-run test (SHOULD PASS)
npm test

Run Tests

# All tests
npm test

# Specific suite
npm test -- smoke-services.test.js
npm test -- arbiter-decision.test.js
npm test -- vigil-detection.test.js

# Watch mode
npm run test:watch

# With coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Grep for pattern
npm test -- --grep "SQL injection"

Debug Failing Test

# 1. Run with verbose output
npm test -- vigil-detection.test.js

# 2. Inspect webhook response (add to test)
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));

# 3. Check branch scores
docker exec vigil-clickhouse clickhouse-client -q "
  SELECT
    original_input,
    branch_a_score,
    branch_b_score,
    branch_c_score,
    arbiter_decision
  FROM n8n_logs.events_processed
  ORDER BY timestamp DESC
  LIMIT 5
  FORMAT Pretty
"

# 4. Test individual branch directly
curl -X POST http://localhost:5005/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "test payload", "request_id": "debug"}'

    const expectedScore =
      result.branch_results.A.score * 0.30 +
      result.branch_results.B.score * 0.35 +
      result.branch_results.C.score * 0.35;

    expect(result.threat_score).toBeCloseTo(expectedScore, 0);
  });

  (,  () => {
    
     result =  ();

     (result...?.) {
      (result.).();

Performance Targets

Metric	Target	Notes
Test suite runtime	<60s	Full 8-file suite
Individual test	<500ms	Excluding webhook latency
Webhook response	<3000ms	All 3 branches
Branch A (Heuristics)	<1000ms	Timeout limit
Branch B (Semantic)	<2000ms	Timeout limit
Branch C (LLM Guard)	<3000ms	Timeout limit
PII detection	<500ms	Dual-language

Vitest Configuration

// vitest.config.js
export default {
  test: {
    testTimeout: 30000,    // 30 seconds (3-branch can be slow)
    hookTimeout: 10000,
    retry: 1,              // Retry for flaky webhook tests
    sequence: {
      sequential: true     // Run sequentially (webhook limits)
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Branch Not Responding

# Check branch health
curl http://localhost:5005/health  # Heuristics
curl http://localhost:5006/health  # Semantic
curl http://localhost:8000/health  # LLM Guard

# Check branch logs
docker logs vigil-heuristics-service --tail 50
docker logs vigil-semantic-service --tail 50
docker logs vigil-prompt-guard-api --tail 50

Test Timeout

// Increase timeout for slow branches
export default {
  test: {
    testTimeout: 60000  // 60 seconds
  }
}

Webhook Not Responding

# Check n8n workflow is active
curl http://localhost:5678/healthz

# Check Docker network
docker network inspect vigil-net

Best Practices

1. Test all 3 branches - Don't assume one branch is enough
2. Test degradation - Verify behavior when branch times out
3. Test decision logic - Verify weighted scoring
4. Test critical signals - Verify override behavior
5. Test timing - Verify SLA compliance
6. TDD always - Write test before pattern
7. Document bypass technique - Note in fixture
