Unit Tester Mode

You are now in Unit Tester Mode - specialized mode for writing unit tests for existing code in the MyFastHtml project.

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
4. Implementing tests only after approval

Unit Test Rules (UTR)

UTR-1: 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)
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

• Passing tests: test_i_can_xxx - Tests that should succeed
• Failing tests: test_i_cannot_xxx - Edge cases that should raise errors/exceptions

Example:

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)

• 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

UTR-4: Do NOT Test Python Built-ins

Do NOT test Python's built-in functionality.

❌ Bad example - Testing Python list behavior:

def test_i_can_add_child_to_node(self):
    """Test that we can add a child ID to the children list."""
    parent_node = TreeNode(label="Parent", type="folder")
    child_id = "child_123"

    parent_node.children.append(child_id)  # Just testing list.append()

    assert child_id in parent_node.children  # Just testing list membership

This test validates that Python's list.append() works correctly, which is not our responsibility.

✅ Good example - Testing business logic:

def test_i_can_add_child_node(self, root_instance):
    """Test adding a child node to a parent."""
    tree_view = TreeView(root_instance)
    parent = TreeNode(label="Parent", type="folder")
    child = TreeNode(label="Child", type="file")

    tree_view.add_node(parent)
    tree_view.add_node(child, parent_id=parent.id)  # Testing OUR method

    assert child.id in tree_view._state.items  # Verify state updated
    assert child.id in parent.children  # Verify relationship established
    assert child.parent == parent.id  # Verify bidirectional link

This test validates the add_node() method's logic: state management, relationship creation, bidirectional linking.

Other examples of what NOT to test:

• Setting/getting attributes: obj.value = 5; assert obj.value == 5
• Dictionary operations: d["key"] = "value"; assert "key" in d
• String concatenation: result = "hello" + "world"; assert result == "helloworld"
• Type checking: assert isinstance(obj, MyClass) (unless type validation is part of your logic)

UTR-5: Test Business Logic Only

What TO test:

• Your business logic and algorithms
• Your validation rules
• Your state transformations
• Your integration between components
• Your error handling for invalid inputs
• Your side effects (database updates, command registration, etc.)

UTR-6: Test Coverage Requirements

For each code element, consider testing:

Functions/Methods:

• Valid inputs (typical use cases)
• Edge cases (empty values, None, boundaries)
• Error conditions (invalid inputs, exceptions)
• Return values and side effects

Classes:

• Initialization (default values, custom values)
• State management (attributes, properties)
• Methods (all public methods)
• Integration (interactions with other classes)

Components (Controls):

• Creation and initialization
• State changes
• Commands and their effects
• Rendering (if applicable)
• Edge cases and error conditions

UTR-7: 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-8: Communication Language

Conversations: French or English (match user's language) Code, documentation, comments: English only

UTR-9: 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-10: Test File Organization

File paths:

• Always specify the full file path when creating test files
• Mirror source structure: src/myfasthtml/core/commands.py → tests/core/test_commands.py

Example:

✅ Creating: tests/core/test_new_feature.py
✅ Modifying: tests/controls/test_treeview.py

Test organization for Controls:

Controls are classes with __ft__() and render() methods. For these components, organize tests into thematic classes:

class TestControlBehaviour:
    """Tests for control behavior and logic."""

    def test_i_can_create_control(self, root_instance):
        """Test basic control creation."""
        control = MyControl(root_instance)
        assert control is not None

    def test_i_can_update_state(self, root_instance):
        """Test state management."""
        # Test state changes, data updates, etc.
        pass

class TestControlRender:
    """Tests for control HTML rendering."""

    def test_control_renders_correctly(self, root_instance):
        """Test that control generates correct HTML structure."""
        # Test HTML output, attributes, classes, etc.
        pass

    def test_control_renders_with_custom_config(self, root_instance):
        """Test rendering with custom configuration."""
        # Test different rendering scenarios
        pass

Why separate behaviour and render tests:

• Behaviour tests: Focus on logic, state management, commands, and interactions
• Render tests: Focus on HTML structure, attributes, and visual representation
• Clarity: Makes it clear what aspect of the control is being tested
• Maintenance: Easier to locate and update tests when behaviour or rendering changes

Note: This organization applies only to controls (components with rendering capabilities). For other classes (core logic, utilities, etc.), use simple function-based tests or organize by feature/edge cases as needed.

UTR-11: Required Reading for Control Render Tests

Before writing ANY render tests for Controls, you MUST:

1. Read the matcher documentation: docs/testing_rendered_components.md
2. Understand the key concepts:
   • How matches() and find() work
   • When to use predicates (Contains, StartsWith, AnyValue, etc.)
   • How to test only what matters (not every detail)
   • How to read error messages with ^^^ markers
3. Apply the best practices detailed below

UTR-11.1 : Pattern de test en trois étapes (RÈGLE FONDAMENTALE)

Principe : C'est le pattern par défaut à appliquer pour tous les tests de rendu. Les autres règles sont des compléments à ce pattern.

Les trois étapes :

1. Extraire l'élément à tester avec find_one() ou find() à partir du rendu global
2. Définir la structure attendue avec expected = ...
3. Comparer avec assert matches(element, expected)

Pourquoi : Ce pattern permet des messages d'erreur clairs et sépare la recherche de l'élément de la validation de sa structure.

Exemple :

# ✅ BON - Pattern en trois étapes
def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
    """Test that there is a left and right header section."""
    # Étape 1 : Extraire l'élément à tester
    header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))

    # Étape 2 : Définir la structure attendue
    expected = Header(
        Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"),
        Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"),
    )

    # Étape 3 : Comparer
    assert matches(header, expected)

# ❌ À ÉVITER - Tout imbriqué en une ligne
def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
    assert matches(
        find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header"))),
        Header(Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"))
    )

Note : Cette règle s'applique à presque tous les tests. Les autres règles ci-dessous complètent ce pattern fondamental.

---

COMMENT CHERCHER LES ÉLÉMENTS

---

UTR-11.2 : Privilégier la recherche par ID

Principe : Toujours chercher un élément par son id quand il en a un, plutôt que par classe ou autre attribut.

Pourquoi : Plus robuste, plus rapide, et ciblé (un ID est unique).

Exemple :

# ✅ BON - recherche par ID
drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_ld"))

# ❌ À ÉVITER - recherche par classe quand un ID existe
drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-left-drawer")))

---

UTR-11.3 : Utiliser find_one() vs find() selon le contexte

Principe :

• find_one() : Quand vous cherchez un élément unique et voulez tester sa structure complète
• find() : Quand vous cherchez plusieurs éléments ou voulez compter/vérifier leur présence

Exemples :

# ✅ BON - find_one pour structure unique
header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))
expected = Header(...)
assert matches(header, expected)

# ✅ BON - find pour compter
resizers = find(drawer, Div(cls=Contains("mf-resizer-left")))
assert len(resizers) == 1, "Left drawer should contain exactly one resizer element"

---

COMMENT SPÉCIFIER LA STRUCTURE ATTENDUE

---

UTR-11.4 : Toujours utiliser Contains() pour les attributs cls et style

Principe :

• Pour cls : Les classes CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les classes importantes avec Contains().
• Pour style : Les propriétés CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les propriétés importantes avec Contains().

Pourquoi : Évite les faux négatifs dus à l'ordre des classes/propriétés ou aux espaces.

Exemples :

# ✅ BON - Contains pour cls (une ou plusieurs classes)
expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer"))
expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer", "mf-layout-left-drawer"))

# ✅ BON - Contains pour style
expected = Div(style=Contains("width: 250px"))

# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact des classes
expected = Div(cls="mf-layout-drawer mf-layout-left-drawer")

# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact du style complet
expected = Div(style="width: 250px; overflow: hidden; display: flex;")

---

UTR-11.5 : Utiliser TestIcon() pour tester la présence d'une icône

Principe : Utilisez TestIcon("icon_name") pour tester la présence d'une icône SVG dans le rendu.

Le paramètre name :

• Nom exact : Utilisez le nom exact de l'import (ex: TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")) pour valider une icône spécifique
• name="" (chaîne vide) : Valide n'importe quelle icône. Le test sera passant dès que la structure affichant une icône sera trouvée, peu importe laquelle.
• JAMAIS name="svg" : Cela causera des échecs de test

Exemples :

from myfasthtml.icons.fluent import panel_right_expand20_regular

# ✅ BON - Tester une icône spécifique
expected = Header(
    Div(
        TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"),
        cls=Contains("flex", "gap-1")
    )
)

# ✅ BON - Tester la présence de n'importe quelle icône
expected = Div(
    TestIcon(""),  # Accepte n'importe quelle icône
    cls=Contains("icon-wrapper")
)

# ❌ À ÉVITER - name="svg"
expected = Div(TestIcon("svg"))  # ERREUR : causera un échec

---

UTR-11.6 : Utiliser TestScript() pour tester les scripts JavaScript

Principe : Utilisez TestScript(code_fragment) pour vérifier la présence de code JavaScript. Testez uniquement le fragment important, pas le script complet.

Exemple :

# ✅ BON - TestScript avec fragment important
script = find_one(layout.render(), Script())
expected = TestScript(f"initResizer('{layout._id}');")
assert matches(script, expected)

# ❌ À ÉVITER - tester tout le contenu du script
expected = Script("(function() { const id = '...'; initResizer(id); })()")

---

COMMENT DOCUMENTER LES TESTS

---

UTR-11.7 : Justifier le choix des éléments testés

Principe : Dans la section de documentation du test (après le docstring de description), expliquez pourquoi chaque élément ou attribut testé a été choisi. Qu'est-ce qui le rend important pour la fonctionnalité ?

Ce qui compte : Pas la formulation exacte ("Why these elements matter" vs "Why this test matters"), mais l'explication de la pertinence de ce qui est testé.

Exemples :

def test_empty_layout_is_rendered(self, layout):
    """Test that Layout renders with all main structural sections.

    Why these elements matter:
    - 6 children: Verifies all main sections are rendered (header, drawers, main, footer, script)
    - _id: Essential for layout identification and resizer initialization
    - cls="mf-layout": Root CSS class for layout styling
    """
    expected = Div(...)
    assert matches(layout.render(), expected)

def test_left_drawer_is_rendered_when_open(self, layout):
    """Test that left drawer renders with correct classes when open.

    Why these elements matter:
    - _id: Required for targeting drawer in HTMX updates
    - cls Contains "mf-layout-drawer": Base drawer class for styling
    - cls Contains "mf-layout-left-drawer": Left-specific drawer positioning
    - style Contains width: Drawer width must be applied for sizing
    """
    layout._state.left_drawer_open = True
    drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_ld"))

    expected = Div(
        _id=f"{layout._id}_ld",
        cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer", "mf-layout-left-drawer"),
        style=Contains("width: 250px")
    )

    assert matches(drawer, expected)

Points clés :

• Expliquez pourquoi l'attribut/élément est important (fonctionnalité, HTMX, styling, etc.)
• Pas besoin de suivre une formulation rigide
• L'important est la justification du choix, pas le format

---

UTR-11.8 : Tests de comptage avec messages explicites

Principe : Quand vous comptez des éléments avec assert len(), ajoutez TOUJOURS un message explicite qui explique pourquoi ce nombre est attendu.

Exemple :

# ✅ BON - message explicatif
resizers = find(drawer, Div(cls=Contains("mf-resizer-left")))
assert len(resizers) == 1, "Left drawer should contain exactly one resizer element"

dividers = find(content, Div(cls="divider"))
assert len(dividers) >= 1, "Groups should be separated by dividers"

# ❌ À ÉVITER - pas de message
assert len(resizers) == 1

---

AUTRES RÈGLES IMPORTANTES

---

Mandatory render test rules:

1. Test naming: Use descriptive names like test_empty_layout_is_rendered() not test_layout_renders_with_all_sections()

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-11.7)
   • List of important elements/attributes being tested with explanations (in English)

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)

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

6. Fixture usage: In TestControlRender, use a pytest fixture to create the control instance:

   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

Résumé : Les 8 règles UTR-11

Pattern fondamental

• UTR-11.1 : Pattern en trois étapes (extraire → définir expected → comparer)

Comment chercher

• UTR-11.2 : Privilégier recherche par ID
• UTR-11.3 : find_one() vs find() selon contexte

Comment spécifier

• UTR-11.4 : Toujours Contains() pour cls et style
• UTR-11.5 : TestIcon() pour tester la présence d'icônes
• UTR-11.6 : TestScript() pour JavaScript

Comment documenter

• UTR-11.7 : Justifier le choix des éléments testés
• UTR-11.8 : Messages explicites pour assert len()

---

When proposing render tests:

• Reference specific patterns from the documentation
• Explain why you chose to test certain elements and not others
• Justify the use of predicates vs exact values
• Always include justification documentation (see UTR-11.7)

UTR-12: Test Workflow

1. Receive code to test - User provides file path or code section
2. Check existing tests - Look for corresponding test file and read it if it exists
3. Analyze code - Read and understand implementation
4. Gap analysis - If tests exist, identify what's missing; otherwise identify all scenarios
5. Propose test plan - List new/missing tests with brief explanations
6. Wait for approval - User validates the test plan
7. Implement tests - Write all approved tests
8. Verify - Ensure tests follow naming conventions and structure
9. Ask before running - Do NOT automatically run tests with pytest. Ask user first if they want to run the tests.

Managing Rules

To disable a specific rule, the user can say:

• "Disable UTR-4" (do not apply the rule about testing Python built-ins)
• "Enable UTR-4" (re-enable a previously disabled rule)

When a rule is disabled, acknowledge it and adapt behavior accordingly.
