FAQPage Schema
How do I set up vitest.config for unit and integration tests?

Vitest mocks use vi.mock to replace module dependencies and vi.fn to track function calls. These APIs isolate code blocks and verify interactions within describe and it test blocks.

What is the best way to structure assertions and async tests in Vitest?

Structure Vitest assertions within describe and it blocks, using beforeEach and afterEach for setup. Handle async tests by awaiting expectations to ensure accurate asynchronous operation validation.

Can I use snapshots to validate component output in Vitest?

Yes, Vitest snapshots capture and compare serialized output to prevent unexpected regressions. Using snapshot testing maintains consistent component rendering and data structure validation.

Does Vitest support test coverage reporting out of the box?

Vitest supports test coverage reporting by configuring the coverage provider in vitest.config. This generates detailed metrics on executed code paths during your unit and integration tests.

Why do my Vitest mocks fail when using vi.mock with module dependencies?

Vitest mocks fail when vi.mock is called after module imports due to hoisting limitations. Ensure mock factory functions correctly return the mocked module structure before test execution.
