SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates integration test suites against no-hardcoding requirements and proper credential handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • No hardcoding enforcement: Validates that tests obtain IDs and data from .env via Common.ts rather than hardcoded literals.
  • Structured test patterns: Verifies test files follow the expected describe/it patterns with multiple test cases per operation.
  • Credential-aware execution: Skips tests gracefully when credentials are unavailable and includes debug logging for traceability.
  • Common.ts integration: Ensures presence of a Common.ts exporting test data and helper functions like getConnectedInstance, hasCredentials, and getLogger.

Quick Start

Use gate-4b-integration-tests to verify your integration tests follow the no-hardcoding and environment-driven data patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop hardcoding credentials and test data in TypeScript integration tests?▼

To stop hardcoding in integration tests, source credentials and test data from a .env file via a Common.ts module, using helper functions like getConnectedInstance and hasCredentials for environment-driven validation.

What is the proper way to handle missing credentials in end-to-end API testing?▼

Proper credential handling in API testing uses hasCredentials checks during test setup to gracefully skip test execution when credentials are unavailable, while still logging debug information for traceability.

How do I structure integration test suites for multiple test cases per operation?▼

Structure integration test suites using describe and it patterns to organize multiple test cases per operation, importing required test data and logger functions from a shared Common.ts file.

Why should integration tests avoid mocks and use environment variables instead?▼

Integration tests avoid mocks to validate real API client behavior, requiring environment variables from .env for credentials and data to ensure tests reflect actual end-to-end workflow conditions.

Can I use this validation gate for TypeScript projects without a Common.ts file?▼

No, this validation requires a Common.ts file that exports test data, getConnectedInstance, hasCredentials, and getLogger functions to properly enforce no-hardcoding and logging standards across test files.

What logging standards are required for integration test files?▼

Integration test files require mandatory logger usage imported from Common.ts to ensure debug logging and traceability across all test cases, replacing hardcoded values with environment-driven data.
