FAQPage Schema
How do I structure unit and functional tests for AdonisJS using Japa?

AdonisJS testing with Japa is structured by organizing tests into grouped suites covering services, models, controllers, and utilities, ensuring readable, scalable test files across local development and CI environments.

What is the best way to mock dependencies in an AdonisJS test suite?

Mocking in AdonisJS tests is handled through container-based fakes using the IoC container. This strategy isolates components during functional and unit tests without modifying core application bindings directly.

How do I manage database cleanup and fixtures in AdonisJS tests?

Database testing in AdonisJS requires applying specific cleanup patterns and fixture setups. These conventions ensure that database state is reset between tests to maintain reliability across integration suites.

Can I use Japa for both unit and integration testing in AdonisJS?

Yes, Japa supports unit, functional, and integration testing in AdonisJS projects. The framework provides reference conventions and real-world examples to guide test groupings from local development through to continuous integration pipelines.

Why are my AdonisJS database tests failing across different test groups?

AdonisJS database testing failures often stem from inconsistent cleanup patterns between grouped suites. Applying structured fixture setups and database reset conventions ensures isolated state and reliable test execution.
