Add comprehensive testing documentation covering: - Test email domain usage (@tests.bookhoard.internal) - Standard test users and their credentials - Test lifecycle and cleanup process - How to write tests properly - Running tests (make targets, specific tests) - Test organization and helper functions This helps developers understand the testing infrastructure and prevents accidental data loss when running tests.

# Testing
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to run and write tests for Bookhoard.
|
|
|
|
## Test Users and Email Domains
|
|
|
|
### Test Email Domain
|
|
|
|
All integration tests use the email domain **`@tests.bookhoard.internal`** for test users. This domain is reserved exclusively for testing and will never be used in production.
|
|
|
|
**Why this domain?**
|
|
- Clear indication it's for testing only
|
|
- Won't conflict with real user emails (which use real domains like `@gmail.com`, `@example.com`, etc.)
|
|
- Safe cleanup: Tests can delete all users with this domain without risk to production data
|
|
- If a real user somehow uses `@tests.bookhoard.internal`, they are explicitly opting into test data deletion
|
|
|
|
### Standard Test Users
|
|
|
|
The test suite creates these standard users:
|
|
|
|
1. **Admin User**
|
|
- Email: `testuser@tests.bookhoard.internal`
|
|
- Username: `testuser`
|
|
- Password: `Test@Pass123!`
|
|
- Role: `admin`
|
|
|
|
2. **Regular User**
|
|
- Email: `testregularuser@tests.bookhoard.internal`
|
|
- Username: `testregularuser`
|
|
- Password: `Test@Pass123!`
|
|
- Role: `user`
|
|
|
|
### Test Lifecycle and Cleanup
|
|
|
|
Each test run:
|
|
1. **Deletes** all existing users with `@tests.bookhoard.internal` email
|
|
2. **Creates** fresh standard test users
|
|
3. **Runs** the test with clean state
|
|
4. **Cleans up** via `t.Cleanup()` to delete users created during the test
|
|
|
|
This ensures complete test isolation - no state leaks between tests.
|
|
|
|
### Writing Tests
|
|
|
|
When writing new tests:
|
|
|
|
**✅ DO:**
|
|
- Use the standard test users from `setupTestServer(t)`
|
|
- Use `createRegularUserOnce(t, setup.DB)` for additional test users
|
|
- Let the test framework handle cleanup
|
|
- Use the `@tests.bookhoard.internal` domain if creating custom test users
|
|
|
|
**❌ DON'T:**
|
|
- Use real email domains like `@example.com` or `@gmail.com`
|
|
- Manually manage test user deletion (unless absolutely necessary)
|
|
- Assume test users persist between test runs
|
|
- Hardcode user IDs (always look up by email/username)
|
|
|
|
## Running Tests
|
|
|
|
### Run All Tests
|
|
```bash
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Integration Tests Only
|
|
```bash
|
|
make test-integration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Specific Test
|
|
```bash
|
|
go test -v -run TestUpdateProfile ./cmd/server/tests/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run with Race Detection
|
|
```bash
|
|
go test -race ./cmd/server/tests/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test Organization
|
|
|
|
Tests are located in `cmd/server/tests/`:
|
|
|
|
- `test_helpers.go` - Test utilities and setup functions
|
|
- `*_test.go` - Test files organized by feature
|
|
- `user_test.go` - User management tests
|
|
- `auth_test.go` - Authentication tests
|
|
- `media_test.go` - Media item tests
|
|
- etc.
|
|
|
|
### Key Test Helpers
|
|
|
|
- `setupTestServer(t *testing.T)` - Creates test server with clean DB state
|
|
- `createTestUserOnce(t, db)` - Gets/creates standard admin user
|
|
- `createRegularUserOnce(t, db)` - Gets/creates additional test users
|
|
- `loginWithCredentials(t, server, email, password)` - Returns auth token
|
|
|
|
## Bruno API Tests
|
|
|
|
API integration tests in `bruno/` also use the test email domain:
|
|
|
|
- Login test: `testuser@tests.bookhoard.internal`
|
|
- Register test: `testuser@tests.bookhoard.internal`
|
|
- Profile update test: `updated@tests.bookhoard.internal`
|
|
