# Testing Guide

This document provides comprehensive instructions for running tests in the Readur OCR document management system.

## 🧪 Testing Strategy

We have a comprehensive three-tier testing approach:

1. **Unit Tests** (Rust) - Fast, no dependencies, test individual components
2. **Integration Tests** (Rust) - Test against running services, complete user workflow validation  
3. **Frontend Tests** (TypeScript/React) - Component and API integration testing

## Prerequisites

### Backend Testing
- Rust toolchain (1.70+)
- PostgreSQL database (for integration tests)
- Tesseract OCR library (optional, for OCR feature tests)

### Frontend Testing
- Node.js (18+)
- npm package manager

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Backend Tests

```bash
# Run all backend tests (unit + integration)
cargo test

# Run only unit tests (fast, no dependencies)
cargo test --lib

# Run only integration tests (requires running infrastructure)
cargo test --test integration_tests

# Run with detailed output
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test -- --nocapture
```

### Frontend Tests

```bash
# Navigate to frontend directory
cd frontend

# Run all frontend tests
npm test -- --run

# Run tests in watch mode (development)
npm test

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage
```

### Using the Test Runner (Automated)
```bash
# Run all tests using the custom test runner
cargo run --bin test_runner

# Run specific test types
cargo run --bin test_runner unit         # Unit tests only
cargo run --bin test_runner integration  # Integration tests only  
cargo run --bin test_runner frontend     # Frontend tests only
```

## 📋 Test Categories

## Backend Testing (Rust)

### Unit Tests

Unit tests are located throughout the `src/tests/` directory and test individual components in isolation.

#### Available Test Modules

```bash
# Database operations
cargo test tests::db_tests

# Authentication and JWT
cargo test tests::auth_tests

# OCR processing and queue management
cargo test tests::ocr_tests

# Document handling and metadata
cargo test tests::documents_tests

# Search functionality and ranking
cargo test tests::enhanced_search_tests

# User management
cargo test tests::users_tests

# Settings and configuration
cargo test tests::settings_tests

# File service operations
cargo test tests::file_service_tests
```

#### Running Specific Tests

```bash
# Run all unit tests
cargo test --lib

# Run tests by pattern
cargo test user                    # All tests with "user" in the name
cargo test tests::auth_tests       # Specific module
cargo test test_create_user        # Specific test function

# Run with output
cargo test test_name -- --nocapture

# Run single-threaded (for debugging)
cargo test -- --test-threads=1
```

### Integration Tests (`tests/integration_tests.rs`)

Integration tests run against the complete system and require:
- ✅ Running PostgreSQL database
- ✅ Server infrastructure
- ✅ Full OCR processing pipeline

#### What Integration Tests Cover

```bash
# Complete user workflow tests
cargo test --test integration_tests

# Specific integration tests
cargo test --test integration_tests test_complete_ocr_workflow
cargo test --test integration_tests test_document_list_structure
cargo test --test integration_tests test_ocr_error_handling
```

**Integration Test Features:**
- 🔒 **Type Safety** - Uses same models/types as main application
- 🚀 **Performance** - Faster execution than external scripts
- 🛠️ **IDE Support** - Full autocomplete and refactoring support
- 🔗 **Code Reuse** - Can import validation logic and test helpers
- 👥 **Unique Users** - Each test creates unique timestamped users to avoid conflicts

### Test Configuration and Environment

#### Environment Variables

```bash
# Required for integration tests
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost/readur_test"
export JWT_SECRET="your-test-jwt-secret"
export RUST_BACKTRACE=1

# Optional OCR configuration
export TESSERACT_PATH="/usr/bin/tesseract"
```

#### Running Tests with Features

```bash
# Run tests with OCR features enabled
cargo test --features ocr

# Run tests without default features
cargo test --no-default-features

# Run specific feature combinations
cargo test --features "ocr,webdav"
```

## Frontend Testing (TypeScript/React)

### Setup

```bash
cd frontend
npm install
```

### Test Categories

#### Component Tests

```bash
# All component tests
npm test -- src/components/__tests__/

# Specific components
npm test -- Dashboard.test.tsx
npm test -- Login.test.tsx
npm test -- DocumentList.test.tsx
npm test -- FileUpload.test.tsx
```

#### Page Tests

```bash
# All page tests
npm test -- src/pages/__tests__/

# Specific pages
npm test -- SearchPage.test.tsx
npm test -- DocumentDetailsPage.test.tsx
npm test -- SettingsPage.test.tsx
```

#### Service Tests

```bash
# API service tests
npm test -- src/services/__tests__/

# Specific service tests
npm test -- api.test.ts
```

### Frontend Test Configuration

Frontend tests use **Vitest** with the following setup:

```typescript
// vitest.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'jsdom',
    setupFiles: './src/test/setup.ts',
    mockReset: true,
    clearMocks: true,
    restoreMocks: true,
  },
})
```

#### Global Mocking Setup

The frontend tests use comprehensive API mocking to avoid real HTTP requests:

```typescript
// src/test/setup.ts
vi.mock('axios', () => ({
  default: {
    create: vi.fn(() => ({
      get: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: [] })),
      post: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} })),
      put: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} })),
      delete: vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {} })),
      defaults: { headers: { common: {} } },
    })),
  },
}))
```

### Running Frontend Tests

```bash
# Run all tests once
npm test -- --run

# Run in watch mode (for development)
npm test

# Run with coverage report
npm run test:coverage

# Run specific test file
npm test -- Dashboard.test.tsx

# Run tests matching pattern
npm test -- --grep "Login"

# Debug mode with verbose output
npm test -- --reporter=verbose
```

## 🔧 Test Configuration

### Integration Test Requirements

Integration tests expect the server running at:
- **URL:** `http://localhost:8000`
- **Health endpoint:** `/api/health` returns `{"status": "ok"}`

### Test Data Strategy

Integration tests use unique data to avoid conflicts:
- **Test users:** `rust_integration_test_{timestamp}@example.com`
- **Test documents:** Simple text files with known content
- **Timeouts:** 30 seconds for OCR processing
- **Unique identifiers:** Timestamps prevent user registration conflicts

## 📊 Test Coverage

### What We Test

**OCR Functionality:**
- Document upload → OCR processing → text retrieval
- OCR metadata validation (confidence, word count, timing)
- Error handling for failed OCR processing

**API Endpoints:**
- Authentication flow (register/login)
- Document management (upload/list)
- OCR text retrieval (`/api/documents/{id}/ocr`)
- Error responses (401, 404, 500)

**Data Models:**
- Type safety and field validation
- Response structure consistency
- Security (no password leaks)

**Frontend Components:**
- OCR dialog behavior
- API integration and error handling
- User interaction flows

### What We Don't Test
- Tesseract OCR accuracy (external library)
- Database schema migrations (handled by SQLx)
- File system operations (handled by OS)
- Network failures (covered by error handling)

## 🐛 Debugging Test Failures

### Backend Test Debugging

#### Unit Test Failures
Unit tests should never fail due to external dependencies. If they do:

```bash
# Run with detailed output
cargo test failing_test_name -- --nocapture

# Run with backtrace
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test

# Run single-threaded for easier debugging
cargo test -- --test-threads=1
```

Common unit test issues:
1. **Compilation errors in models** - Check recent type changes
2. **Type definitions mismatch** - Verify model consistency  
3. **Data structure changes** - Update test data to match new schemas

#### Integration Test Failures

```bash
# Run with full debugging
RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo test --test integration_tests -- --nocapture

# Test server health first
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
```

**Common Integration Test Issues:**

1. **"Server is not running"**
   ```bash
   # Start the server first
   cargo run
   # Then run tests in another terminal
   cargo test --test integration_tests
   ```

2. **"Registration failed" errors**
   - **Fixed Issue**: Tests now use unique timestamped usernames
   - **Previous Problem**: Hardcoded usernames caused UNIQUE constraint violations
   - **Solution**: Each test creates users like `rust_integration_test_1701234567890`

3. **"OCR processing timed out"**
   - Check server logs for OCR errors
   - Ensure Tesseract is installed: `sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr`
   - Verify OCR feature is enabled: `cargo test --features ocr`

4. **"Processing time should be positive" (Fixed)**
   - **Previous Issue**: Test expected `processing_time_ms > 0`
   - **Root Cause**: Text file processing can be 0ms (very fast)
   - **Fix**: Changed assertion to `processing_time_ms >= 0`

5. **Database connection errors**
   ```bash
   # Check DATABASE_URL
   echo $DATABASE_URL
   
   # Verify PostgreSQL is running
   sudo systemctl status postgresql
   
   # Test database connection
   psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT 1;"
   ```

### Frontend Test Debugging

#### Common Issues and Solutions

1. **"vi is not defined" errors**
   ```bash
   # Fixed: Updated imports from jest to vitest
   # Before: import { jest } from '@jest/globals'
   # After:  import { vi } from 'vitest'
   ```

2. **"useAuth must be used within AuthProvider"**
   ```bash
   # Fixed: Added proper AuthProvider mocking
   # Tests now include MockAuthProvider wrapper
   ```

3. **API mocking not working**
   ```bash
   # Fixed: Added global axios mock in setup.ts
   # Prevents real HTTP requests during testing
   ```

4. **Module not found errors**
   ```bash
   # Clear and reinstall dependencies
   cd frontend
   rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
   npm install
   ```

#### Frontend Debugging Commands

```bash
# Run with verbose output
npm test -- --reporter=verbose

# Debug specific test file  
npm test -- --run Dashboard.test.tsx

# Check test configuration
cat vitest.config.ts
cat src/test/setup.ts

# Verify test environment
npm test -- --run src/components/__tests__/simple.test.tsx
```

## 📈 Adding New Tests

### For New API Endpoints

1. **Unit Tests** - Add to appropriate module in `src/tests/`
   ```rust
   #[test]
   fn test_new_endpoint_data_model() {
       let request = NewRequest { /* ... */ };
       let response = process_request(request);
       assert!(response.is_ok());
   }
   ```

2. **Integration Tests** - Add to `tests/integration_tests.rs`
   ```rust
   #[tokio::test]
   async fn test_new_endpoint_workflow() {
       let mut client = TestClient::new();
       let token = client.register_and_login(/* ... */).await.unwrap();
       
       let response = client.client
           .post(&format!("{}/api/new-endpoint", BASE_URL))
           .header("Authorization", format!("Bearer {}", token))
           .json(&request_data)
           .send()
           .await
           .unwrap();
           
       assert_eq!(response.status(), 200);
   }
   ```

3. **Frontend Tests** - Add component tests if UI is involved
   ```typescript
   test('new feature component renders correctly', () => {
     render(<NewFeatureComponent />)
     expect(screen.getByText('New Feature')).toBeInTheDocument()
   })
   ```

### For New OCR Features

1. **Happy Path Testing**
   ```rust
   #[tokio::test]
   async fn test_new_ocr_feature_success() {
       // Test: document → processing → retrieval
       let document = upload_test_document().await;
       let ocr_result = process_ocr_with_new_feature(document.id).await;
       assert!(ocr_result.is_ok());
   }
   ```

2. **Error Condition Testing**
   ```rust
   #[test]
   fn test_new_ocr_feature_invalid_format() {
       let result = new_ocr_feature("invalid.xyz");
       assert!(result.is_err());
   }
   ```

3. **Performance Testing**
   ```rust
   #[tokio::test]
   async fn test_new_ocr_feature_performance() {
       let start = Instant::now();
       let result = process_large_document().await;
       let duration = start.elapsed();
       
       assert!(result.is_ok());
       assert!(duration.as_secs() < 30); // Should complete within 30s
   }
   ```

### Test Data Management

```rust
// Use builders for consistent test data
fn create_test_user_with_timestamp() -> CreateUser {
    let timestamp = SystemTime::now()
        .duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)
        .unwrap()
        .as_millis();
        
    CreateUser {
        username: format!("test_user_{}", timestamp),
        email: format!("test_{}@example.com", timestamp),
        password: "test_password".to_string(),
        role: Some(UserRole::User),
    }
}
```

## 🎯 Test Philosophy

**Fast Feedback:** Unit tests run in milliseconds, integration tests in seconds.

**Real User Scenarios:** Integration tests simulate actual user workflows using the same types as the application.

**Maintainable:** Tests use builders, unique data, and clear naming conventions.

**Reliable:** Tests pass consistently and fail for good reasons - no flaky tests due to data conflicts.

**Comprehensive:** Critical paths are covered, edge cases are handled, and both happy path and error scenarios are tested.

**Type Safety:** Rust integration tests use the same models and types as the main application, ensuring consistency.

## 📞 Getting Help

If you encounter issues with tests:
1. Check this documentation for common solutions
2. Review recent changes that might have affected tests
3. Run tests with detailed output using `--nocapture` and `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`
4. For frontend issues, check the browser console and test setup files

The test suite is designed to be reliable and maintainable. Most failures indicate actual issues that need to be addressed rather than test infrastructure problems.
