| description | Write unit tests, component tests, and integration tests for AiderDesk using Vitest and React Testing Library. Use when creating new tests, adding test coverage, configuring mocks, setting up test files, or debugging failing tests. |
Write effective tests using Vitest and React Testing Library.
Create a unit test in packages/common/__tests__/utils/math.test.ts:
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { add } from '../../utils/math';
describe('math utility', () => {
it('adds two numbers correctly', () => {
expect(add(1, 2)).toBe(3);
});
});
Run tests with npm run test.
Focus on pure functions and logic in src/main or packages/common. Use vi.mock() for dependencies.
Test React components in src/renderer. Focus on user interactions and props.
Use centralized mock factories for consistent testing across components and contexts.
vi.mock() paths and return values match expectationsscreen.debug()npm run test:node -- --no-color -t "test name"npm run test:coverage to confirm new code is testedFor detailed information:
Create AiderDesk extensions by setting up extension files, defining metadata, implementing Extension interface methods, and updating documentation. Use when building a new extension, creating extension commands, tools, or event handlers.
Create new AiderDesk UI themes by defining SCSS color variables, registering theme types, and adding i18n display names. Use when adding a theme, creating a color scheme, customizing appearance, or implementing dark mode and light mode variants.
Create and configure AiderDesk agent profiles by defining tool groups, approval rules, subagent settings, and provider/model selection. Use when setting up a new agent, creating a profile, or configuring agent tools and permissions.
