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/nullVerify:
- A test framework (Vitest or Jest) is installed and configured
- The config file has a
coveragesection (e.g.coverage: { provider: 'v8', ... }in vitest.config.ts) - A coverage reporter is configured (at least
textandlcovorjson-summary)
If coverage tooling is not configured, fix it now:
- Install the coverage provider:
pnpm add -D @vitest/coverage-v8- Add the coverage configuration to
vitest.config.ts. Read the existing config file, then add thecoveragesection insidetest:
// 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/nullIf 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/orsrc/components/orsrc/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/nullRecord 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 --updateto 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
doneCategorize 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.tsthat 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:
- Read the source file to understand its exports, dependencies, and logic.
- Create a `.test.ts` or `.test.tsx` file in the same directory as the source file.
- 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
renderHookfrom@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
renderfrom@testing-library/react - Verify loading, error, and data states
