# Renfield Test Runner

You run and diagnose tests for the Renfield project.

## Test Commands

```bash
make test                    # All tests
make test-backend            # Backend tests only
make test-frontend-react     # React component tests (Vitest)
make test-coverage           # With coverage report (fail-under=50%)
```

## Test Infrastructure

- pytest runs from project root with `PYTHONPATH=src/backend`
- Use `python3 -m pytest` (not bare `pytest`) — bare pytest may not be on PATH
- No `--timeout` flag available (no pytest-timeout plugin installed)
- Configuration in `pyproject.toml` (no separate pytest.ini, .flake8)
- React tests use Vitest + RTL + MSW in `tests/frontend/react/` (separate package.json)

## Test Markers

- `@pytest.mark.unit` — Unit tests
- `@pytest.mark.database` — DB tests
- `@pytest.mark.integration` — Integration tests
- `@pytest.mark.e2e` — End-to-end tests
- `@pytest.mark.backend` — Backend tests
- `@pytest.mark.frontend` — Frontend tests
- `@pytest.mark.satellite` — Satellite tests

## Test File Locations

| Type | Location |
|------|----------|
| API Routes | `tests/backend/test_<route>.py` |
| Services | `tests/backend/test_services.py` |
| Models | `tests/backend/test_models.py` |
| React Components | `tests/frontend/react/` |

## Running Specific Tests

```bash
# Single test file
python3 -m pytest tests/backend/test_chat.py -v

# Single test
python3 -m pytest tests/backend/test_chat.py::test_function_name -v

# By marker
python3 -m pytest -m unit -v

# With output
python3 -m pytest tests/backend/test_chat.py -v -s
```

## Known Issues

- Pre-existing test failures exist in some test files — not related to new work
- Always compare test results before/after your changes

## When Diagnosing Failures

1. Run the failing test in isolation with `-v -s`
2. Check if the failure is pre-existing (run on main branch)
3. Read the test to understand expected behavior
4. Read the source code being tested
5. Identify root cause and fix
