What this skill does

# Testing Capacitor Applications

Comprehensive testing strategies for Capacitor mobile apps.

## When to Use This Skill

- User wants to add tests
- User asks about testing strategies
- User needs E2E testing
- User wants to mock native plugins
- User needs CI testing setup

## Testing Pyramid

```
        /\
       /  \        E2E Tests (Few)
      /----\       - Real devices
     /      \      - Full user flows
    /--------\     Integration Tests (Some)
   /          \    - Component interactions
  /------------\   - API integration
 /              \  Unit Tests (Many)
/----------------\ - Pure functions
                   - Business logic
```

## Unit Testing

### Setup with Vitest

```bash
npm install -D vitest @vitest/coverage-v8
```

```typescript
// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'jsdom',
    coverage: {
      provider: 'v8',
      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html'],
    },
    setupFiles: ['./src/test/setup.ts'],
  },
});
```

### Mock Capacitor Plugins

```typescript
// src/test/setup.ts
import { vi } from 'vitest';

// Mock @capacitor/core
vi.mock('@capacitor/core', () => ({
  Capacitor: {
    isNativePlatform: vi.fn(() => true),
    getPlatform: vi.fn(() => 'ios'),
    isPluginAvailable: vi.fn(() => true),
  },
  registerPlugin: vi.fn(),
}));

// Mock @capacitor/preferences
vi.mock('@capacitor/preferences', () => ({
  Preferences: {
    get: vi.fn(),
    set: vi.fn(),
    remove: vi.fn(),
    clear: vi.fn(),
  },
}));

// Mock @capgo/capacitor-native-biometric
vi.mock('@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric', () => ({
  NativeBiometric: {
    isAvailable: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      isAvailable: true,
      biometryType: 'touchId',
    }),
    verifyIdentity: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({}),
    setCredentials: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({}),
    getCredentials: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      username: '[email protected]',
      password: 'token',
    }),
  },
}));
```

### Unit Test Examples

```typescript
// src/services/auth.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { AuthService } from './auth';
import { NativeBiometric } from '@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric';

describe('AuthService', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    vi.clearAllMocks();
  });

  describe('biometricLogin', () => {
    it('should authenticate with biometrics', async () => {
      const authService = new AuthService();

      const result = await authService.biometricLogin();

      expect(NativeBiometric.verifyIdentity).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
        reason: 'Authenticate to login',
        title: 'Biometric Login',
      });
      expect(result).toBe(true);
    });

    it('should return false when biometrics unavailable', async () => {
      vi.mocked(NativeBiometric.isAvailable).mockResolvedValueOnce({
        isAvailable: false,
        biometryType: 'none',
      });

      const authService = new AuthService();
      const result = await authService.biometricLogin();

      expect(result).toBe(false);
    });

    it('should handle user cancellation', async () => {
      vi.mocked(NativeBiometric.verifyIdentity).mockRejectedValueOnce(
        new Error('User cancelled')
      );

      const authService = new AuthService();
      const result = await authService.biometricLogin();

      expect(result).toBe(false);
    });
  });
});
```

### Testing Utilities

```typescript
// src/test/utils.ts
import { Capacitor } from '@capacitor/core';
import { vi } from 'vitest';

export function mockPlatform(platform: 'ios' | 'android' | 'web') {
  vi.mocked(Capacitor.getPlatform).mockReturnValue(platform);
  vi.mocked(Capacitor.isNativePlatform).mockReturnValue(platform !== 'web');
}

export function mockPluginAvailable(available: boolean) {
  vi.mocked(Capacitor.isPluginAvailable).mockReturnValue(available);
}

// Usage in tests
describe('Platform-specific behavior', () => {
  it('should use iOS-specific code on iOS', () => {
    mockPlatform('ios');
    // Test iOS behavior
  });

  it('should use Android-specific code on Android', () => {
    mockPlatform('android');
    // Test Android behavior
  });
});
```

## Component Testing

### React Testing Library

```bash
npm install -D @testing-library/react @testing-library/user-event
```

```typescript
// src/components/LoginButton.test.tsx
import { render, screen, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
import { LoginButton } from './LoginButton';
import { NativeBiometric } from '@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric';

describe('LoginButton', () => {
  it('should show biometric option when available', async () => {
    render(<LoginButton />);

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText('Login with Face ID')).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });

  it('should call biometric auth on click', async () => {
    const user = userEvent.setup();
    render(<LoginButton />);

    const button = await screen.findByRole('button', { name: /face id/i });
    await user.click(button);

    expect(NativeBiometric.verifyIdentity).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});
```

### Vue Test Utils

```bash
npm install -D @vue/test-utils
```

```typescript
// src/components/LoginButton.spec.ts
import { mount, flushPromises } from '@vue/test-utils';
import LoginButton from './LoginButton.vue';
import { NativeBiometric } from '@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric';

describe('LoginButton', () => {
  it('should render biometric button', async () => {
    const wrapper = mount(LoginButton);
    await flushPromises();

    expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('Login with Biometrics');
  });

  it('should trigger authentication on click', async () => {
    const wrapper = mount(LoginButton);
    await flushPromises();

    await wrapper.find('button').trigger('click');

    expect(NativeBiometric.verifyIdentity).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});
```

## E2E Testing

### Playwright for Web

```bash
npm install -D @playwright/test
npx playwright install
```

```typescript
// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  testDir: './e2e',
  fullyParallel: true,
  use: {
    baseURL: 'http://localhost:5173',
    trace: 'on-first-retry',
  },
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] },
    },
    {
      name: 'Mobile Safari',
      use: { ...devices['iPhone 14'] },
    },
    {
      name: 'Mobile Chrome',
      use: { ...devices['Pixel 7'] },
    },
  ],
  webServer: {
    command: 'npm run dev',
    url: 'http://localhost:5173',
    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
  },
});
```

```typescript
// e2e/login.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test.describe('Login Flow', () => {
  test('should login with email and password', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');

    await page.fill('[data-testid="email"]', '[email protected]');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password"]', 'password123');
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard');
    await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Welcome');
  });

  test('should show error for invalid credentials', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');

    await page.fill('[data-testid="email"]', '[email protected]');
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password"]', 'wrong');
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="error"]')).toBeVisible();
  });
});
```

### Appium for Native

```bash
npm install -D webdriverio @wdio/appium-service @wdio/mocha-framework
```

```typescript
// wdio.conf.ts
export const config: WebdriverIO.Config = {
  runner: 'local',
  specs: ['./e2e/native/**/*.spec.ts'],
  capabilities: [
    {
      platformName: 'iOS',
      'appium:deviceName': 'iPhone 15',
      'appium:platformVersion': '17.0',
      'appium:app': './ios/Ap
