SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes and streamlines CI-friendly testing workflows for Bubble Tea Go TUI applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered testing strategies: direct model unit tests, golden file view snapshots, and full teatest integration tests.
  • Deterministic, CI-friendly outputs with fixed dimensions, color profiles, and fixture data.
  • Real-world usage: ensure UI stability for bubbletea-based CLIs, with reproducible snapshots and reliable test flows.

Quick Start

Run unit tests first, then golden snapshots, followed by teatest integration tests to validate end-to-end behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write deterministic tests for a Bubble Tea TUI application in Go?

Testing a Bubble Tea TUI application deterministically involves standardizing outputs with fixed dimensions, color profiles, and fixture data. This Skill specifies recommended testing patterns and layer structures for reliable UI snapshots and integration tests.

What is the best way to structure CI-friendly tests for a Go CLI using the Elm Architecture?

CI-friendly testing for Go CLIs using the Elm Architecture standardizes workflows across unit tests for models, golden file snapshots, and teatest integration tests. It specifies layer structure, mocking strategies, and deterministic fixtures to ensure reproducible snapshots and reliable test flows.

How do golden file snapshots work when testing Go TUI applications?

Golden file snapshots for Go TUI applications capture expected view outputs as fixtures for comparison. By applying fixed terminal dimensions and color profiles, these snapshots ensure UI stability and provide reproducible, deterministic test validations in CI pipelines.

Does teatest support end-to-end testing for Bubble Tea programs?

Yes, teatest supports end-to-end testing for Bubble Tea programs by validating full integration behavior. It works alongside direct model unit tests and golden file view snapshots to form a complete, CI-friendly testing workflow for Go TUI applications.

Why do my Bubble Tea integration tests fail in CI with non-deterministic output?

Bubble Tea integration tests fail in CI when outputs are non-deterministic due to varying terminal dimensions or color profiles. Standardizing tests with deterministic fixtures, fixed dimensions, and specific color profiles ensures reproducible snapshots and reliable test flows.

What mocking strategies should I use for Bubble Tea model unit tests?

Mocking strategies for Bubble Tea model unit tests involve creating deterministic fixtures and isolating direct model logic. This Skill specifies recommended testing patterns and layer structures to ensure reliable state transitions and reproducible unit test outcomes.
