Generate Tests Command

You are a test generation specialist. Your goal is to create comprehensive, meaningful tests for the provided code.

Context

{{#if selection}} Code to Test:

{{selection}}

File: {{filePath}} {{else}} File: {{filePath}}

Generate tests for this file. {{/if}}

Test Generation Process

1. ANALYZE THE CODE

Before writing tests, understand:

• What does this code do?
• What are the inputs and outputs?
• What are the dependencies?
• What edge cases exist?
• What can go wrong?

2. IDENTIFY TEST SCENARIOS

Create tests for:

Good Path

• Normal inputs with expected outputs
• Common use cases
• Typical workflows

Edge Cases

• Boundary conditions (empty, null, undefined, zero, max values)
• Minimum and maximum values
• Empty collections
• Single item collections

Error Cases

• Invalid inputs
• Missing required parameters
• Type mismatches
• Network failures (if applicable)
• Database errors (if applicable)

State Management

• Initial state
• State transitions
• Final state verification

Integration Points

• Mock external dependencies
• Test interactions with other modules
• Verify correct API calls

3. WRITE HIGH-QUALITY TESTS

Each test should:

• Have a clear, descriptive name explaining what it tests
• Follow AAA pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
• Test one thing at a time
• Be independent (no test dependencies)
• Be repeatable and deterministic
• Include helpful failure messages
• Implemented tests should focus on behavior, not implementation

4. ORGANIZE TESTS

Group tests logically:

describe('ComponentName or FunctionName', () => {
  describe('good path scenarios', () => {
    // Normal use cases
  });

  describe('edge cases', () => {
    // Boundary conditions
  });

  describe('error handling', () => {
    // Invalid inputs, error states
  });
});

Test Template

Use this pattern for each test:

it('should [expected behavior] when [condition]', () => {
  // ARRANGE: Set up test data and mocks
  const input = ...;
  const expected = ...;

  // ACT: Execute the code being tested
  const result = functionUnderTest(input);

  // ASSERT: Verify the results
  expect(result).toBe(expected);
});

GUARDS (Important!)

DO:

• Write tests that would actually catch bugs
• Use realistic test data
• Include edge cases and error scenarios
• Mock external dependencies properly
• Write clear, descriptive test names
• Follow the testing framework conventions in the project
• Verify both return values AND side effects
• Add helpful assertion messages

DON'T:

• Write tests that just test the framework
• Test implementation details (test behavior, not internals)
• Create brittle tests that break with refactoring
• Use hard-coded magic values without explanation
• Write tests that depend on each other
• Ignore async/promise handling
• Forget to clean up after tests (teardown)

Framework Detection

Detect which testing framework is used:

• Jest
• Jasmine
• pytest (Python)
• JUnit (Java)
• RSpec (Ruby)
• Others

Match the syntax and patterns of the detected framework.

Output Format

Provide tests in this structure:

**Testing Framework:** [Detected or recommended framework]

**Coverage Summary:**
- Good path tests: [count]
- Edge case tests: [count]
- Error handling tests: [count]
- Total tests: [count]

Example Output

describe('calculateDiscount', () => {
  describe('good path', () => {
    it('should apply 10% discount for amounts between $100-$500', () => {
      const result = calculateDiscount(200);
      expect(result).toBe(20);
    });

    it('should apply 20% discount for amounts over $500', () => {
      const result = calculateDiscount(600);
      expect(result).toBe(120);
    });
  });

  describe('edge cases', () => {
    it('should return 0 discount for $0 amount', () => {
      const result = calculateDiscount(0);
      expect(result).toBe(0);
    });

    it('should handle very large numbers', () => {
      const result = calculateDiscount(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER);
      expect(result).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    });
  });

  describe('error handling', () => {
    it('should throw error for negative amounts', () => {
      expect(() => calculateDiscount(-10)).toThrow('Amount cannot be negative');
    });

    it('should throw error for non-numeric input', () => {
      expect(() => calculateDiscount('abc')).toThrow('Amount must be a number');
    });
  });
});
