Writing reliable gtest suites for Gear/Vara Sails applications is challenging due to Sails-specific routing quirks, raw SCALE byte handling, block progression requirements, and common Rust edition-specific pitfalls that break generic Rust tests. This skill eliminates the trial-and-error of building Sails-compatible test workflows by providing a standardized, guided loop for feature verification, debugging, and regression coverage.
Use the sails-gtest skill to write and run a gtest suite for your new Sails feature, capture passing test results, and route to local smoke testing once all tests are green.

Reliable Sails gtest suites require handling generated client usage, explicit block advancement after send operations, and proper Sails routing framing to verify features and execute regression tests without trial-and-error.
Sails gtest suites fail without block progression because send operations require explicit block advancement to process messages correctly. Missing this step causes state updates and program balance assertions to fail during test execution.
Handling raw SCALE bytes and Sails routing framing in gtest requires using generated clients and applying Sails-appropriate assertions to validate byte encoding and program balance accounting within your test scenarios.
Yes, the Sails gtest workflow includes specific guidance and fixes for common Rust edition pitfalls like Rust 2024 listener lifetime errors, incorrect program balance assertions, and other breaking issues that disrupt generic Rust tests.
Sails gtest is designed for feature verification and regression testing before routing to local-node smoke testing. You run the gtest suite until all tests are green, then proceed to local network smoke tests.
Gtest for Sails apps is limited to off-chain feature verification and regression coverage. It does not replace live-network testing, which is required to validate real block progression, gas reasoning, and network-level routing behavior.
