Testing Guide

This guide covers all test types in the codebase. For E2E tests specifically, see e2e.md.

Quick Reference

Type Location Command Framework
E2E e2e/specs/ ./e2e/dev.sh test WebdriverIO + Mocha
Frontend unit src/**/__tests__/, apps/notebook/src/**/__tests__/ pnpm test Vitest + jsdom
Rust unit inline #[cfg(test)] cargo test built-in
CLI behavior crates/runt/tests/*.hone cargo hone test Hone (not yet published)
Python python/runtimed/tests/ pytest pytest

Frontend Unit Tests (Vitest)

Configuration: vitest.config.ts

test: {
  environment: "jsdom",
  include: [
    "src/**/__tests__/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}",
    "apps/notebook/src/**/__tests__/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}",
  ],
  globals: true,
  setupFiles: ["./src/test-setup.ts"],
}

Running tests:

pnpm test         # Watch mode
pnpm test:run     # Run once

Writing tests:

// src/components/outputs/__tests__/ansi-output.test.tsx
import { render } from "@testing-library/react";
import { AnsiOutput } from "../ansi-output";

describe("AnsiOutput", () => {
  it("renders plain text", () => {
    const { container } = render(<AnsiOutput>{"hello"}</AnsiOutput>);
    expect(container.textContent).toBe("hello");
  });

  it.each([
    ["red", "\x1b[31mred\x1b[0m"],
    ["green", "\x1b[32mgreen\x1b[0m"],
  ])("renders %s ANSI color", (_, text) => {
    const { container } = render(<AnsiOutput>{text}</AnsiOutput>);
    expect(container.querySelector(".ansi-red-fg")).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

Test locations:

  • src/components/isolated/__tests__/ — Frame bridge, message protocol
  • src/components/outputs/__tests__/ — Output renderers
  • src/components/widgets/__tests__/ — Widget store, registry
  • src/lib/__tests__/ — ErrorBoundary
  • apps/notebook/src/hooks/__tests__/ — useEnvProgress
  • apps/notebook/src/lib/__tests__/ — Cursor registry, manifest resolution, materialize cells, kernel status, markdown assets, and more

Rust Unit Tests

Rust tests are inline modules using #[cfg(test)]:

// crates/runtimed/src/runtime.rs
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_runtime_serde() {
        let runtime = Runtime::Python;
        let json = serde_json::to_string(&runtime).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(json, "\"python\"");
    }
}

Running tests:

cargo test                    # All workspace tests
cargo test -p runtimed        # Specific crate
cargo test -p notebook-doc    # Automerge doc tests
cargo test -- --nocapture     # Show println! output

Key test locations:

Crate Tests
kernel-launch Tool hashing, path resolution
notebook-doc Automerge document operations
runtimed Blob store/server, connections, daemon, kernel manager, notebook sync, output store, protocol, runtime, settings, stream terminal, and more

Hone CLI Tests

Hone is a bash-based declarative test framework for the runt CLI. Test files are in crates/runt/tests/*.hone.

File format:

#! shell: /bin/bash
#! timeout: 60s

TEST "help flag displays usage"
RUN runt --help
ASSERT exit_code == 0
ASSERT stdout contains "Usage: runt [COMMAND]"

TEST "invalid command fails"
RUN runt invalid_command
ASSERT exit_code != 0
ASSERT stderr contains "error: unrecognized subcommand"

TEST "version matches regex"
RUN runt --version
ASSERT stdout matches /runt-cli \d+\.\d+\.\d+/

Available assertions:

Assertion Example
Exit code ASSERT exit_code == 0
Contains ASSERT stdout contains "text"
Regex match ASSERT stdout matches /pattern/
Not equal ASSERT exit_code != 0

Test files:

File Coverage
cli.hone Help, version, invalid commands
kernel_lifecycle.hone Start, execute, stop, interrupt
ps.hone Process listing
start_errors.hone Invalid kernel errors
exec_errors.hone Execution error handling
interrupt_errors.hone Interrupt signal handling
stop_errors.hone Stop command edge cases

Running Hone tests:

Note: cargo hone is not yet published to crates.io. The .hone test files exist in the repo but the test runner is not currently installable. This section will be updated once hone is available.

cargo hone test               # All hone tests
cargo hone test cli.hone      # Specific file

Python Tests (pytest)

Location: python/runtimed/tests/

Virtual environments: There are two Python venvs in this repo:

Venv Path (from repo root) Purpose
Workspace venv .venv Used by the MCP server and day-to-day development. maturin develop installs here.
Test venv python/runtimed/.venv Isolated env for pytest runs against runtimed-py.

Set up the test venv:

cd python/runtimed
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Build the native extension into the test venv
cd ../../crates/runtimed-py
VIRTUAL_ENV=../../python/runtimed/.venv maturin develop

Tip: The workspace venv at .venv (repo root) is a separate concern — the MCP server and other workspace tooling use it. To install the bindings there instead, run VIRTUAL_ENV=../../.venv maturin develop from crates/runtimed-py.

Source-built daemon and MCP flows default to the nightly channel. Set RUNT_BUILD_CHANNEL=stable only when a test is intentionally validating stable-specific naming or paths.

Configuration in conftest.py defines markers and daemon detection.

Test categories:

File Type Requires Daemon
test_session_unit.py Unit No
test_daemon_integration.py Integration Yes
test_ipython_bridge.py Integration Yes
test_binary.py Binary/CLI No

Running tests:

# Unit tests only (fast, no daemon)
pytest python/runtimed/tests/test_session_unit.py -v

# Skip integration tests
SKIP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 pytest python/runtimed/tests/ -v

# Integration tests (requires running dev daemon and an explicit socket)
RUNTIMED_SOCKET_PATH="$(
  RUNTIMED_DEV=1 RUNTIMED_WORKSPACE_PATH="$(pwd)" \
  ./target/debug/runt daemon status --json \
  | python3 -c 'import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["socket_path"])'
)" pytest python/runtimed/tests/test_daemon_integration.py -v

# CI mode (spawns its own daemon)
RUNTIMED_INTEGRATION_TEST=1 pytest python/runtimed/tests/ -v

When Python code should honor that exported socket, use default_socket_path(). Use socket_path_for_channel("stable"|"nightly") only for tests that intentionally target a specific release channel.

Writing tests:

# Unit test (no daemon)
class TestModuleExports:
    def test_client_exported(self):
        assert hasattr(runtimed, "Client")

    def test_notebook_exported(self):
        assert hasattr(runtimed, "Notebook")

# Integration test (needs daemon, uses NativeAsyncClient for direct session access)
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_kernel_execution(async_session):
    await async_session.start_kernel()
    result = await async_session.run("1 + 1")
    assert result.success

Environment variables:

Variable Effect
SKIP_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 Skip tests marked @pytest.mark.integration
RUNTIMED_INTEGRATION_TEST=1 CI mode: spawns daemon automatically
RUNTIMED_SOCKET_PATH Override daemon socket location

E2E Tests

See e2e.md for the full guide.

Quick start:

./e2e/dev.sh cycle          # Build + start + test
./e2e/dev.sh test           # Smoke test only
./e2e/dev.sh test all       # All non-fixture specs

Test Philosophy

From architecture.md:

  • E2E tests (WebdriverIO): Slow but comprehensive, test full user journeys
  • Integration tests (Python bindings): Fast daemon interaction tests
  • Unit tests: Pure logic, no I/O, fast feedback

Preference: Fast integration tests over slow E2E where possible. Use E2E for critical user journeys, integration tests for daemon behavior, unit tests for algorithms.
