Test Coverage

MUST be used whenever fixing test coverage for a Flows app to meet the 80% line coverage hard gate. This skill finds AND fixes coverage gaps — it configures tooling, writes missing tests, covers untested paths, and refactors code for testability. It does not just report. Triggers: test coverage, fix tests, write tests, add tests, coverage fix, 80% coverage, coverage gate, missing tests, testability, vitest coverage, jest coverage.

Test Coverage Fix

Fix test coverage for $ARGUMENTS (or the whole app if no argument is given). This skill enforces the 80% line coverage hard gate required for Flows app approval by finding AND fixing coverage gaps. Work through every step in order.


Step 1 — Verify test framework and coverage tooling

Check that the project has a working test framework with coverage configured:

# Check for vitest or jest in package.json
grep -E "(vitest|jest)" package.json

# Check for coverage configuration
cat vitest.config.ts 2>/dev/null || cat vitest.config.js 2>/dev/null || cat jest.config.ts 2>/dev/null || cat jest.config.js 2>/dev/null

Verify:

  • A test framework (Vitest or Jest) is installed and configured
  • The config file has a coverage section (e.g. coverage: { provider: 'v8', ... } in vitest.config.ts)
  • A coverage reporter is configured (at least text and lcov or json-summary)

If coverage tooling is not configured, fix it now:

  1. Install the coverage provider:
pnpm add -D @vitest/coverage-v8
  1. Add the coverage configuration to vitest.config.ts. Read the existing config file, then add the coverage section inside test:
// vitest.config.ts — minimum coverage configuration to add
test: {
  coverage: {
    provider: 'v8',
    reporter: ['text', 'text-summary', 'lcov'],
    include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    exclude: [
      'src/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}',
      'src/**/*.spec.{ts,tsx}',
      'src/**/vite-env.d.ts',
      'src/main.tsx',
    ],
  },
}

Write the updated config file. If no vitest.config.ts exists at all, create one with the full defineConfig wrapper.


Step 2 — Validate coverage scope

The 80% threshold applies to all `.ts` and `.tsx` files under src/, excluding only:

  • Test files (*.test.ts, *.test.tsx, *.spec.ts, *.spec.tsx)
  • Type declaration files (vite-env.d.ts)
  • The entry point (main.tsx)

Apps must not exclude pages, components, hooks, or other production code from coverage measurement.

# Check what files are excluded from coverage in the config
grep -A 20 "exclude" vitest.config.ts 2>/dev/null || grep -A 20 "exclude" vitest.config.js 2>/dev/null

# Check for coveragePathIgnorePatterns in jest config
grep -A 10 "coveragePathIgnorePatterns\|collectCoverageFrom" jest.config.ts 2>/dev/null

If the config excludes production files, fix it now:

Remove any exclusion that hides production code from coverage measurement. Only test files, type declarations, and the entry point should be excluded. Rewrite the exclude array to contain only:

exclude: [
  'src/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}',
  'src/**/*.spec.{ts,tsx}',
  'src/**/vite-env.d.ts',
  'src/main.tsx',
],

Specifically remove any exclusions for:

  • src/pages/ or src/components/ or src/hooks/ — NOT allowed
  • Specific feature files — NOT allowed unless they are generated code
  • src/**/*.tsx (all components) — NOT allowed, this hides the majority of the app

Write the corrected config file.


Step 3 — Run tests and collect coverage

# Try common coverage commands based on project setup
npx vitest run --coverage 2>/dev/null || npx jest --coverage 2>/dev/null || npm test -- --coverage 2>/dev/null

Record the coverage summary:

  • Statements: X%
  • Branches: X%
  • Functions: X%
  • Lines: X%

Hard gate: Overall line coverage must be at least 80%. Apps below this threshold are listed as must fix.

If tests fail to run, fix them now:

Common fixes:

  • Missing imports: Read the failing test file, add the missing import statement, write the fixed file.
  • Broken mocks: Read the test to understand what is being mocked. Fix the mock to match the current API of the mocked module.
  • Outdated snapshots: Run npx vitest run --update to update snapshots, then review the diff to ensure correctness.
  • Missing dependencies: Run pnpm add -D <missing-package> for any test utilities not yet installed.
  • Config errors: Read the config file, fix syntax or option errors, write the corrected file.

Re-run tests after each fix until all tests pass. Then record the coverage summary.


Step 4 — Find and write missing test files

For every non-trivial .ts/.tsx file under src/, check whether a corresponding test file exists:

# List all production files and check for test counterparts
for file in $(find src -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" | grep -v ".test." | grep -v ".spec." | grep -v "node_modules" | grep -v "vite-env" | sort); do
  base="${file%.*}"
  ext="${file##*.}"
  dir=$(dirname "$file")
  filename=$(basename "$base")

  # Check for test file in same directory or __tests__ directory
  test_exists="false"
  for pattern in "${base}.test.${ext}" "${base}.spec.${ext}" "${base}.test.ts" "${base}.spec.ts" "${dir}/__tests__/${filename}.test.${ext}" "${dir}/__tests__/${filename}.spec.${ext}"; do
    if [ -f "$pattern" ]; then
      test_exists="true"
      break
    fi
  done

  if [ "$test_exists" = "false" ]; then
    echo "NO TEST: $file"
  fi
done

Categorize each file without a test:

  • Services, hooks, utils, contexts, ViewModel hooks — Write the test file now (see below)
  • Pure presentational components with no logic — Mark as N/A (no test required)
  • Barrel exports (index.ts that only re-exports) — Mark as N/A
  • Type-only files (.d.ts, files with only type/interface exports) — Mark as N/A

For each file missing a test, create a comprehensive test file. Use context injection for dependency mocking where the production code supports it. If the production code uses hard-coded imports, note this as a testability concern but still write the test using vi.mock with a justification comment. Follow this process for each:

  1. Read the source file to understand its exports, dependencies, and logic.
  2. Create a `.test.ts` or `.test.tsx` file in the same directory as the source file.
  3. Write tests covering: happy path, error path, empty state, and edge cases.

Use the right testing pattern for each file type:

For hooks:

  • Test with renderHook from @testing-library/react
  • Wrap with necessary providers (QueryClientProvider, custom context providers, etc.)
  • Test initial state, loading state, success state, and error state
  • Example structure:
import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
// import the hook

const createWrapper = () => {
  const queryClient = new QueryClient({
    defaultOptions: { queries: { retry: false } },
  });
  return ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
  );
};

describe('useMyHook', () => {
  it('returns data on success', async () => {
    const { result } = renderHook(() => useMyHook(), { wrapper: createWrapper() });
    await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.data).toBeDefined());
  });

  it('handles errors', async () => {
    // set up error condition
    const { result } = renderHook(() => useMyHook(), { wrapper: createWrapper() });
    await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.error).toBeDefined());
  });
});

For services/utils:

  • Test with direct function calls
  • Mock CDF SDK responses where needed
  • Test return values, side effects, and thrown errors
  • Example structure:
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
// import the service/util functions

describe('myService', () => {
  it('returns expected result for valid input', () => {
    const result = myFunction(validInput);
    expect(result).toEqual(expectedOutput);
  });

  it('throws on invalid input', () => {
    expect(() => myFunction(invalidInput)).toThrow();
  });
});

For components with logic:

  • Test with render from @testing-library/react
  • Verify loading, error, and data states
