SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that developers and CI systems have consistent, isolated, and production-like environments for running tests, preventing "it works on my machine" issues and ensuring test reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment Provisioning: Sets up necessary databases, services, and configurations.
  • Secrets Management: Handles environment variables and secrets securely for testing.
  • Test Data Seeding: Prepares minimal, deterministic data for consistent test runs.
  • Use Case: Before running integration tests for a new feature, this Skill will spin up a dedicated Supabase instance, apply the latest migrations, and seed it with essential user data, ensuring tests run against a clean and accurate environment.

Quick Start

Configure a test environment using the provided .env.test file and Supabase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an isolated test environment with Supabase for integration testing?

To set up an isolated test environment, this Skill provisions a dedicated Supabase instance or schema, applies migrations, and seeds deterministic test data to ensure accurate and consistent integration testing.

What is the best way to manage environment variables and secrets for CI/CD testing?

The best way to manage secrets for CI/CD testing is using a .env.test file. This Skill securely handles environment variables and provisioning configurations to maintain test reliability across different CI systems.

How do I seed test data for unit and end-to-end testing deterministically?

You can seed test data deterministically by using ephemeral data strategies. This Skill prepares minimal, deterministic data sets and provisions dependencies so unit and end-to-end testing run against a clean environment.

Can I use Docker to provision databases and services for a test environment?

Yes, you can use Docker to provision databases and services. This Skill configures and maintains isolated test environments by provisioning dependencies and validating readiness through smoke checks.

Why does my test environment fail smoke checks before running end-to-end tests?

Your test environment might fail smoke checks if dependencies are unprovisioned or migrations are incomplete. This Skill validates environment readiness by performing smoke checks after spinning up services and seeding data.
