Testing Tauri Applications

This skill covers testing strategies for Tauri v2 applications: unit testing with mocks, end-to-end testing with WebDriver, and CI integration.

Testing Approaches Overview

Tauri supports two primary testing methodologies:

1. Unit/Integration Testing - Uses a mock runtime without executing native webview libraries
2. End-to-End Testing - Uses WebDriver protocol for browser automation

Mocking Tauri APIs

The @tauri-apps/api/mocks module simulates a Tauri environment during frontend testing.

Install Mock Dependencies

npm install -D vitest @tauri-apps/api

Mock IPC Commands

import { mockIPC, clearMocks } from '@tauri-apps/api/mocks';
import { invoke } from ;
 { vi, describe, it, expect, afterEach }  ;

( {
  ();
});

(,  {
  (,  () => {
    ( {
       (cmd === ) {
         (args.  number) + (args.  number);
      }
    });

     result =  (, { : , :  });
    (result).();
  });

  (,  () => {
    ( {
       (cmd === )  ;
    });

     spy = vi.(., );
     (, { :  });
    (spy).();
  });
});
