## Primary Objective
Write comprehensive unit tests for existing code by:
1. Analyzing the code to understand its behavior
2. Identifying test cases (success paths and edge cases)
3. Proposing test plan for validation

## Unit Test Rules (UTR)
### UTR-1: Test Analysis Before Implementation
### UTR-1: Communication Language
- **Conversations**: French or English (match user's language)
- **Code, documentation, comments**: English only
- Before writing tests, **list all planned tests with explanations**
- Wait for validation before implementing tests
### UTR-2: Test Analysis Before Implementation
Before writing any tests:
1. **Check for existing tests first** - Look for corresponding test file (e.g., `src/foo/bar.py``tests/foo/test_bar.py`)
1. **Check for existing tests first** - Look for corresponding test file (e.g., `src/foo/bar.py`
`tests/foo/test_bar.py`)
2. **Analyze the code thoroughly** - Read and understand the implementation
3. **If tests exist**: Identify what's already covered and what's missing
4. **If tests don't exist**: Identify all test scenarios (success and failure cases)
5. **Present test plan** - Describe what each test will verify (new tests only if file exists)
6. **Wait for validation** - Only proceed after explicit approval
### UTR-2: Test Naming Conventions
### UTR-3: Ask Questions One at a Time
**Ask questions to clarify understanding:**
- Ask questions **one at a time**
- Wait for complete answer before asking the next question
- Indicate progress: "Question 1/5" if multiple questions are needed
- Never assume behavior - always verify understanding
### UTR-4: Code Standards
**Follow PEP 8** conventions strictly:
- Variable and function names: `snake_case`
- Explicit, descriptive naming
- **No emojis in code**
**Documentation**:
- Use Google or NumPy docstring format
- Every test should have a clear docstring explaining what it verifies
- Include type hints where applicable
### UTR-5: Test Naming Conventions
- **Passing tests**: `test_i_can_xxx` - Tests that should succeed
- **Failing tests**: `test_i_cannot_xxx` - Edge cases that should raise errors/exceptions
**Example:**
```python
def test_i_can_create_command_with_valid_name():
"""Test that a command can be created with a valid name."""
cmd = Command("valid_name", "description", lambda: None)
assert cmd.name == "valid_name"
def test_i_cannot_create_command_with_empty_name():
"""Test that creating a command with empty name raises ValueError."""
with pytest.raises(ValueError):
Command("", "description", lambda: None)
```
### UTR-3: Use Functions, Not Classes (Default)
### UTR-6: Test File Organization
- Use **functions** for tests by default
- Only use classes when inheritance or grouping is required (see UTR-10)
- Before writing tests, **list all planned tests with explanations**
- Wait for validation before implementing tests
**File paths:**
### UTR-4: Do NOT Test Python Built-ins
- Always specify the full file path when creating test files
- Mirror source structure: `src/myfasthtml/core/commands.py``tests/core/test_commands.py`
### UTR-7: What to choose, functions or classes during tests?
- Use **functions** when tests are validating the same concern
- Use **classes** when grouping is required, for example
- behavior tests and rendering tests can be grouped into TestControlBehaviour and TestControlRender classes
- CRUD operation can be grouped into TestCreate, TestRead, TestUpdate, TestDelete classes
- When code documentation in the class to test explicitly shows the concerns

```python
# ------------------------------------------------------------------

For each code element, consider testing:
**Functions/Methods:**
- Valid inputs (typical use cases)
- Edge cases (empty values, None, boundaries)

- No detailed verification of attributes (classes, content, etc.)
- This test must be the first in the `TestComponentRender` class
**Naming exception:** This specific test does NOT follow the `test_i_can_xxx` pattern (UTR-5). Use a descriptive name like `test_empty_layout_is_rendered()` instead. All other render tests follow UTR-5 normally.
**Test order:**
1. **First test:** Global structure (UTR-11.1)
2. **Following tests:** Details of each section (UTR-11.2 to UTR-11.11)

#### **UTR-11.2: Break down complex tests into explicit steps**
#### **UTR-11.2: Three-step pattern for simple tests**
**Principle:** When a test verifies multiple levels of HTML nesting, break it down into numbered steps with explicit comments.
**Principle:** For tests not requiring multi-level decomposition, use the standard three-step pattern.
**The three steps:**
1. **Extract the element to test** with `find_one()` or `find()` from the global render
2. **Define the expected structure** with `expected = ...`
3. **Compare** with `assert matches(element, expected)`
**Example:**
```python

"""Test that there is a left and right header section."""
# Step 1: Extract the element to test
header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))

# Step 3: Compare

```
#### **UTR-11.3: Break down complex tests into explicit steps**
**Principle:** When a test verifies multiple levels of HTML nesting, break it down into numbered steps with explicit
comments.
**Why:**
- Facilitates debugging (you know exactly which step fails)
- Improves test readability
- Allows validating structure level by level

#### **UTR-11.7: Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` to test icon presence**
**Principle:** Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` depending on how the icon is integrated in the code.
**Principle:** Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` depending on how the icon is integrated in the code. See `docs/testing_rendered_components.md` section 7 for full documentation.
**Difference between the two:**
- **`TestIcon("icon_name")`**: Searches for the pattern `<div><NotStr .../></div>` (icon wrapped in a Div)
- **`TestIconNotStr("icon_name")`**: Searches only for `<NotStr .../>` (icon alone, without wrapper)
**How to choose:**
1. **Read the source code** to see how the icon is rendered
2. If `mk.icon()` wraps the icon in a Div → use `TestIcon()` (default `wrapper="div"`)
3. If `mk.label(..., icon=...)` wraps the icon in a Span → use `TestIcon(..., wrapper="span")`
4. If the icon is directly included without wrapper → use `TestIconNotStr()`
**The `wrapper` parameter:**
Different `mk` helpers use different wrappers for icons:
**How to choose — read the source code first:**
| Helper method | Wrapper element | TestIcon usage |
|---------------|-----------------|----------------|
|----------------------------------|-----------------|------------------------------------|
| `mk.icon(my_icon)` | `<div>` | `TestIcon("name")` |
| `mk.label("Text", icon=my_icon)` | `<span>` | `TestIcon("name", wrapper="span")` |
| Direct: `Div(my_icon)` | none | `TestIconNotStr("name")` |
**The `name` parameter:**
- **Exact name**: Use the exact import name (e.g., `TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")`) to validate a specific icon
- **`name=""`** (empty string): Validates **any icon**
**Examples:**
```python
# Example 1: Icon via mk.icon() - wrapper is Div (default)
# Source code: mk.icon(panel_right_expand20_regular, size=20)
# Rendered: <div><svg .../></div>
expected = Header(
Div(
TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"), # ✅ wrapper="div" (default)
cls=Contains("flex", "gap-1")
)
)
# Example 2: Icon via mk.label() - wrapper is Span
# Source code: mk.label("Back", icon=chevron_left20_regular, command=...)
# Rendered: <label><span><svg .../></span><span>Back</span></label>
back_icon = find_one(details, TestIcon("chevron_left20_regular", wrapper="span")) # ✅ wrapper="span"
# Example 3: Direct icon (used without helper)
# Source code: Span(dismiss_circle16_regular, cls="icon")
# Rendered: <span><svg .../></span>
expected = Span(
TestIconNotStr("dismiss_circle16_regular"), # ✅ Without wrapper
cls=Contains("icon")
)
# Example 4: Verify any wrapped icon
expected = Div(
TestIcon(""), # Accepts any wrapped icon
cls=Contains("icon-wrapper")
)
```
**Debugging tip:**
If your test fails with `TestIcon()`:
1. Check if the wrapper is `<span>` instead of `<div>` → try `wrapper="span"`
2. Check if there's no wrapper at all → try `TestIconNotStr()`
3. The error message will show you the actual structure

### **OTHER IMPORTANT RULES**
#### **UTR-11.12: No inline comments in expected structures**
**Principle:** Do NOT add comments on each line of the expected structure. The only exception is the global structure test (UTR-11.1) where inline comments identify each section.
```python
# ✅ GOOD - no inline noise

Div(id=f"{layout._id}-content"),
Div(id=f"{layout._id}-footer"),
)
# ❌ AVOID - inline comments everywhere

Div(id=f"{layout._id}-header"), # header
Div(id=f"{layout._id}-content"), # content
Div(id=f"{layout._id}-footer"), # footer
)
```
---
**Mandatory render test rules:**
#### **UTR-11.13: Use `TestObject(ComponentClass)` to test component presence**
1. **Test naming**: Use descriptive names like `test_empty_layout_is_rendered()` not `test_layout_renders_with_all_sections()`
**Principle:** When a component renders another component as a child, use `TestObject(ComponentClass)` to verify its presence without coupling to its internal rendering.
2. **Documentation format**: Every render test MUST have a docstring with:
- First line: Brief description of what is being tested
- Blank line
- Justification section explaining why tested elements matter (see UTR-11.10)
- List of important elements/attributes being tested with explanations (in English)
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, find, TestObject
from myfasthtml.controls.Search import Search
3. **No inline comments**: Do NOT add comments on each line of the expected structure (except for structural clarification in global layout tests like `# left drawer`)
# ✅ GOOD - test presence without coupling to internal rendering
expected = Div(
TestObject(Search),
id=f"{toolbar._id}"
)
assert matches(toolbar.render(), expected)
```
4. **Component testing**: Use `TestObject(ComponentClass)` to test presence of components
---
5. **Test organization for Controls**: Organize tests into thematic classes:
- `TestControlBehaviour`: Tests for control behavior and logic
- `TestControlRender`: Tests for control HTML rendering
#### **UTR-11.14: Use pytest fixtures in `TestControlRender`**
**Principle:** In `TestControlRender`, always use a pytest fixture to create the control instance. This avoids duplicating setup code across tests.
6. **Fixture usage**: In `TestControlRender`, use a pytest fixture to create the control instance:
```python
class TestControlRender:
@pytest.fixture
def layout(self, root_instance):
return Layout(root_instance, app_name="Test App")
def test_something(self, layout):
# layout is injected automatically
def test_empty_layout_is_rendered(self, layout):
# layout is injected automatically by pytest
assert matches(layout.render(), ...)

**Key differences:**
- Use `attrs.get('class')` not `attrs.get('cls')`
- Use `attrs.get('id')` for the ID
- Prefer `matches()` with predicates to avoid direct attribute access
**Examples:**
```python
# ❌ WRONG - Python parameter name
classes = element.attrs.get('cls', '') # Returns None or ''

**Rule:** When proposing a test plan, systematically identify tests that can be parameterized and propose them as such.
**When to parameterize:**
- Tests that follow the same pattern with different input values
- Tests that verify the same behavior for different sides/directions (left/right, up/down)
- Tests that check the same logic with different states (visible/hidden, enabled/disabled)
- Tests that validate the same method with different valid inputs
**How to identify candidates:**
1. Look for tests with similar names differing only by a value (e.g., `test_left_panel_...` and `test_right_panel_...`)
2. Look for tests that have identical structure but different parameters
3. Look for combinatorial scenarios (side × state combinations)
**How to propose:**
In your test plan, explicitly show:
1. The individual tests that would be written without parameterization
2. The parameterized version with all test cases
3. The reduction in test count

### 5. Combining matches() and find()
### 5. Testing MyFastHtml Components with Test Helpers
**Goal**: Understand why test helpers exist and how they simplify testing MyFastHtml controls.
When testing components built with `mk` helpers (buttons, labels, icons), writing the expected pattern manually quickly becomes verbose. Consider testing a label with an icon:
```python
# Without test helpers - verbose and fragile
from fastcore.basics import NotStr
from fasthtml.common import Span
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, Regex
actual = label_component.render()
expected = Span(
Span(NotStr('<svg name="fluent-Info"')),
Span("My Label")
)
matches(actual, expected)
```
MyFastHtml provides **test helpers** — specialized `TestObject` subclasses that encapsulate these patterns. They know how `mk` renders components and abstract away the implementation details:
```python
# With test helpers - concise and readable
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestLabel
actual = label_component.render()
matches(actual, TestLabel("My Label", icon="info"))
```
`TestObject` is the base class for all these helpers. You can also create your own helpers for custom components by subclassing it.
**TestObject constructor:**
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `cls` | type or str | The element type to match (e.g., `"div"`, `"span"`, `NotStr`) |
| `**kwargs` | any | Attributes to match on the element |
**Creating a custom helper:**
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import TestObject, Contains
from fasthtml.common import Div, H2
class TestCard(TestObject):
def __init__(self, title: str):
super().__init__("div")
self.attrs["cls"] = Contains("card")
self.children = [
Div(H2(title), cls="card-header")
]
```
---
### 6. Testing Labels with TestLabel
**Goal**: Verify elements produced by `mk.label()` — text with an optional icon and optional command.
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import TestLabel
```
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `label` | str | The text content to match | - |
| `icon` | str | Icon name (`snake_case` or `PascalCase`) | `None` |
| `command` | Command | Command whose HTMX params to verify | `None` |
**Example 1: Label with text only**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestLabel
actual = mk.label("Settings")
matches(actual, TestLabel("Settings"))
```
**Example 2: Label with icon**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestLabel
actual = mk.label("Settings", icon="settings")
matches(actual, TestLabel("Settings", icon="settings"))
```
**Note:** Icon names can be passed in `snake_case` or `PascalCase``TestLabel` handles the conversion automatically.
**Example 3: Label with command**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestLabel
def save():
return "Saved"
save_cmd = Command("save", "Save document", save)
actual = mk.label("Save", command=save_cmd)
matches(actual, TestLabel("Save", command=save_cmd))
```
---
### 7. Testing Icons with TestIcon and TestIconNotStr
**Goal**: Verify icon elements produced by `mk.icon()`.
MyFastHtml renders icons in two ways depending on context:
- **With a wrapper** (`div` or `span`): use `TestIcon`
- **As a raw SVG `NotStr`** without wrapper: use `TestIconNotStr`
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import TestIcon, TestIconNotStr
```
#### TestIcon — Icon with wrapper
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `name` | str | Icon name (`snake_case` or `PascalCase`) | `''` |
| `wrapper` | str | Wrapper element: `"div"` or `"span"` | `"div"` |
| `command` | Command | Command whose HTMX params to verify | `None` |
**Example 1: Simple icon in a div**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestIcon
actual = mk.icon(info_svg)
matches(actual, TestIcon("info"))
```
**Example 2: Icon in a span with command**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import matches, TestIcon
delete_cmd = Command("delete", "Delete item", lambda: None)
actual = mk.icon(trash_svg, command=delete_cmd)
matches(actual, TestIcon("trash", wrapper="span", command=delete_cmd))
```
#### TestIconNotStr — Raw SVG without wrapper
Use `TestIconNotStr` when the icon appears directly as a `NotStr` in the element tree (e.g., embedded inside another element without its own wrapper).
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `name` | str | Icon name (`snake_case` or `PascalCase`) | `''` |
**Example: Raw SVG icon embedded in a button**
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import find, TestIconNotStr
actual = button_component.render()
icons = find(actual, TestIconNotStr("info"))
assert len(icons) == 1
```
---
### 8. Testing Commands with TestCommand
**Goal**: Verify that an element is linked to a specific command.
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import TestCommand
```
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `name` | str | The command name to match |
| `**kwargs` | any | Additional command attributes to verify |
**Example 1: Verify a button is bound to a command**
```python
from myfasthtml.controls.helpers import mk
from myfasthtml.core.commands import Command
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import find, TestCommand
delete_cmd = Command("delete_row", "Delete row", lambda: None)
button = mk.button("Delete", command=delete_cmd)
commands = find(button, TestCommand("delete_row"))
assert len(commands) == 1
```
**Example 2: Verify command with additional attributes**
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import find, TestCommand
commands = find(component.render(), TestCommand("save", target="#result"))
assert len(commands) == 1
```
---
### 9. Testing Scripts with TestScript
**Goal**: Verify the content of `<script>` elements injected by a component.
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import TestScript
```
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `script` | str | The expected script content (checked with `startswith`) |
**Example 1: Verify a script is present**
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import find, TestScript
actual = widget.render()
scripts = find(actual, TestScript("initWidget("))
assert len(scripts) == 1
```
**Example 2: Verify a specific script content**
```python
from myfasthtml.test.matcher import find, TestScript
scripts = find(actual, TestScript("document.getElementById('my-component')"))
assert len(scripts) == 1
```
