SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents test suites from becoming ineffective by ensuring each test validates meaningful behavior instead of repeating implementation details or asserting tautologies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meaningful assertions: Enforces behavior-focused expectations that would fail if the product regresses.
  • Test design guardrails: Requires naming that captures behavior and condition, and enforces one action under test per it() block.
  • Anti-pattern detection for reviews: Rejects shadow reimplementation, over-mocking, tautological assertions, and implementation-state testing.
  • Supabase-specific testing guidance: Ensures Supabase client creation is mocked so tests don’t hit real services, while keeping domain data realistic (Spanish fields like nombre, costo, prioridad, estado).

Quick Start

Ask the AI to review the changes in your pull request and identify any tests that violate the meaningful-tests rules, including naming, one-act-per-test, mocking strategy, and anti-patterns like shadow reimplementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write Vitest unit tests that actually catch bugs instead of tautologies?

Meaningful Vitest unit tests validate behavior rather than reimplementing logic. You enforce behavior-driven naming, test one action per it() block, and assert expectations that fail on regression, rejecting shadow reimplementation and tautological assertions.

What are common unit test anti-patterns to look for when reviewing a pull request?

Common unit test anti-patterns include shadow reimplementation, over-mocking, tautological assertions, and implementation-state testing. Reviewing pull requests for these ensures tests validate meaningful behavior instead of repeating implementation details.

How do I mock a Supabase client in Vitest tests to avoid real network calls?

Mock Supabase client creation in Vitest tests to prevent real network calls. Keep domain data realistic with fields like nombre, costo, prioridad, and estado, ensuring behavior-driven expectations run safely without hitting live services.

Does behavior-driven testing work for React components using Jest or Vitest?

Behavior-driven testing works for React components using Jest or Vitest by enforcing naming that captures behavior and condition. Each it() block tests one action, ensuring meaningful assertions that fail if the component regresses.

Why does my unit test pass but still fails to catch real bugs in my function?

Your unit test likely uses tautological assertions or reimplements the function's logic, known as shadow reimplementation. Meaningful tests validate observable behavior with expectations that fail on regression, avoiding implementation-state testing.
