Test Configuration

This Storybook repository uses Vitest as the test runner. Here are the key commands and configuration:

Test Scripts

- yarn test - Run all tests (from root directory, delegates to cd code; yarn test)
- yarn test <test-name> - Run focused tests matching the pattern
- yarn test:watch - Run tests in watch mode
- yarn test:watch <test-name> - Run focused tests in watch mode

Test Directory Structure

- Tests are located in the code/ directory
- Vitest configuration is in code/vitest.workspace.ts
- Test files typically follow the pattern .test.ts, .test.tsx, .spec.ts, or .spec.tsx

Running Tests in Cursor

1. Use Cmd+Shift+P (or Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "Tasks: Run Task"
2. Select from the available test tasks:
- "Run All Tests" - Runs all tests
- "Run Test (Watch Mode)" - Runs tests in watch mode
- "Run Focused Test" - Prompts for test name/pattern to run specific tests
- "Run Focused Test (Watch Mode)" - Runs specific tests in watch mode

Vitest Configuration

- Workspace configuration: ./code/vitest.workspace.ts
- Command line: yarn --cwd code test
- Root directory for tests: ./code/

Test Execution Context

- Tests run from the code/ directory
- Use NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 for memory optimization
- Supports both watch mode and single-run execution

Focused Test Patterns

When running focused tests, you can use:

- File names: Button.test.ts
- Test descriptions: "should render correctly"
- Directory patterns: components/
- Vitest patterns: -t "pattern" for test name matching

Test Mocking Rules

Follow the spy mocking rules defined in .cursor/rules/spy-mocking.mdc for consistent mocking patterns with Vitest.

See Addon / Framework Support Table

To continue improving your experience, we have to eventually deprecate or remove certain addons in favor of new and better tools.

If you're using info/notes, we highly recommend you migrate to docs instead, and here is a guide to help you.

If you're using contexts, we highly recommend you migrate to toolbars and here is a guide to help you.

If you're using addon-storyshots, we highly recommend you migrate to the Storybook test-runner and here is a guide to help you.

Development scripts

Storybook is organized as a monorepo. Useful scripts include:

#### yarn start

Runs a sandbox template storybook with test stories

#### yarn task

As above, but gives you options to customize the sandbox (e.g. selecting other frameworks)

#### yarn lint

boolean check if code conforms to linting rules - uses remark & eslint

- yarn lint:js - will check js
- yarn lint:md - will check markdown + code samples
- yarn lint:js --fix - will automatically fix js

#### yarn test

boolean check if unit tests all pass - uses jest

- yarn run test --core --watch - will run core tests in watch-mode
