SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Testing next-safe-action server actions, middleware, and hooks is error-prone and time-consuming without structured patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Testing Actions Directly: Call server actions directly in tests and assert results, server errors, and validation errors.
  • Testing Actions with Bind Args: Validate bound actions with pre-supplied arguments to ensure correct outputs.
  • Testing Middleware: Verify middleware chains (authentication, error propagation) in isolation and in combination with actions.
  • Testing Hooks: Use React Testing Library's renderHook to validate hook behavior and integration with actions.
  • Testing Validation Errors: Utilize utilities to flatten and format validation errors for reliable assertions.
  • Mocking Framework Errors: Mock Next.js navigation to safely test redirects and not-found scenarios.
  • Test File Organization: Follow the project convention for organizing tests under tests and action/hook/middleware folders.

Quick Start

Run the Vitest suite for next-safe-action tests to validate actions, middleware, and hooks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test next-safe-action server actions using Vitest?

To test next-safe-action server actions using Vitest, call the actions directly in your test suite and assert their results, server errors, and validation errors. This enforces deterministic tests with clear expectations for unit and integration scenarios.

How do I test next-safe-action middleware chains in isolation?

You can test next-safe-action middleware chains in isolation by verifying authentication and error propagation steps independently. This validates middleware behavior before testing it in combination with the actual server actions.

Can I test next-safe-action hooks with React Testing Library?

Yes, you can test next-safe-action hooks with React Testing Library's renderHook utility. This validates hook behavior and ensures correct integration with server actions within your Next.js project.

How do I assert validation errors when testing next-safe-action?

To assert validation errors when testing next-safe-action, utilize project utilities to flatten and format the validation errors. This ensures reliable and structured assertions for edge cases in your Vitest test suite.

How do I mock Next.js navigation to test not-found redirects in server actions?

To test not-found redirects and navigation in server actions, mock the Next.js navigation module within your Vitest setup. This safely tests redirect scenarios and framework errors without triggering actual route changes.

Do I need a specific test setup to test bound next-safe-action arguments?

Yes, you need a standard Vitest test setup with the required utilities to test bound next-safe-action arguments. This validates actions with pre-supplied arguments to ensure correct outputs and deterministic behavior.
