# Generate coverage report
pnpm test:coverage

Test Setup

The test suite includes:

• setup.ts - Global test configuration with mocks for:

  • ResizeObserver - For components with dynamic sizing
  • IntersectionObserver - For visibility detection
  • Clipboard API - For copy functionality

• vitest.config.mts - Test configuration with:

  • React plugin for JSX
  • jsdom environment for DOM simulation
  • Path aliases for imports
  • CSS handling

• style-mock.js - Mock for CSS imports

Known Issues

Most failing tests are related to:

1. Dropdown/Popover Components - Radix UI popovers that require additional setup
2. CSS Module Imports - Some CSS files from dependencies (katex) need mocking
3. Form Validation - Complex form interactions need additional test utilities

These are minor issues that don't affect the core functionality tests.

Test Structure

Each test file follows this pattern:

describe("ComponentName", () => {
  it("renders children", () => {
    // Basic rendering test
  });

  it("handles user interactions", async () => {
    // User event tests
  });

  it("applies custom props", () => {
    // Props validation
  });
});

Contributing

When adding new components:

1. Create a corresponding .test.tsx file in __tests__/
2. Test rendering, props, interactions, and edge cases
3. Use screen.getByRole for accessibility
4. Mock external dependencies as needed
5. Run tests to ensure no regressions
