Write Frontend Tests

Analyze the current branch's frontend changes, plan integration tests, and write them.

References

Before writing any tests, read the testing rules and conventions:

• autogpt_platform/frontend/TESTING.md — testing strategy, file locations, examples
• autogpt_platform/frontend/src/tests/AGENTS.md — detailed testing rules, MSW patterns, decision flowchart
• autogpt_platform/frontend/src/tests/integrations/test-utils.tsx — custom render with providers
• autogpt_platform/frontend/src/tests/integrations/vitest.setup.tsx — MSW server setup

Step 1: Identify changed frontend files

BASE_BRANCH="${ARGUMENTS:-dev}"
cd autogpt_platform/frontend

# Get changed frontend files (excluding generated, config, and test files)
git diff "$BASE_BRANCH"...HEAD --name-only -- src/ \
  | grep -v '__generated__' \
  | grep -v '__tests__' \
  | grep -v '\.test\.' \
  | grep -v '\.stories\.' \
  | grep -v '\.spec\.'

Also read the diff to understand what changed:

git diff "$BASE_BRANCH"...HEAD --stat -- src/
git diff "$BASE_BRANCH"...HEAD -- src/ | head -500

Step 2: Categorize changes and find test targets

For each changed file, determine:

1. Is it a page? (page.tsx) — these are the primary test targets
2. Is it a hook? (use*.ts) — test via the page/component that uses it; avoid direct renderHook() tests unless it is a shared reusable hook with standalone business logic
3. Is it a component? (.tsx in components/) — test via the parent page unless it's complex enough to warrant isolation
4. Is it a helper? (helpers.ts, utils.ts) — unit test directly if pure logic

Priority order:

1. Pages with new/changed data fetching or user interactions
2. Components with complex internal logic (modals, forms, wizards)
3. Shared hooks with standalone business logic when UI-level coverage is impractical
4. Pure helper functions

Skip: styling-only changes, type-only changes, config changes.

Step 3: Check for existing tests

For each test target, check if tests already exist:

# For a page at src/app/(platform)/library/page.tsx
ls src/app/\(platform\)/library/__tests__/ 2>/dev/null

# For a component at src/app/(platform)/library/components/AgentCard/AgentCard.tsx
ls src/app/\(platform\)/library/components/AgentCard/__tests__/ 2>/dev/null

Note which targets have no tests (need new files) vs which have tests that need updating.

Step 4: Identify API endpoints used

For each test target, find which API hooks are used:

# Find generated API hook imports in the changed files
grep -rn 'from.*__generated__/endpoints' src/app/\(platform\)/library/
grep -rn 'use[A-Z].*V[12]' src/app/\(platform\)/library/

For each API hook found, locate the corresponding MSW handler:

# If the page uses useGetV2ListLibraryAgents, find its MSW handlers
grep -rn 'getGetV2ListLibraryAgents.*Handler' src/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/library/library.msw.ts

List every MSW handler you will need (200 for happy path, 4xx for error paths).

Step 5: Write the test plan

Before writing code, output a plan as a numbered list:

Test plan for [branch name]:

1. src/app/(platform)/library/__tests__/main.test.tsx (NEW)
   - Renders page with agent list (MSW 200)
   - Shows loading state
   - Shows error state (MSW 422)
   - Handles empty agent list

2. src/app/(platform)/library/__tests__/search.test.tsx (NEW)
   - Filters agents by search query
   - Shows no results message
   - Clears search

3. src/app/(platform)/library/components/AgentCard/__tests__/AgentCard.test.tsx (UPDATE)
   - Add test for new "duplicate" action

Present this plan to the user. Wait for confirmation before proceeding. If the user has feedback, adjust the plan.

Step 6: Write the tests

For each test file in the plan, follow these conventions:

File structure

import { render, screen, waitFor } from "@/tests/integrations/test-utils";
import { server } from "@/mocks/mock-server";
// Import MSW handlers for endpoints the page uses
import {
  getGetV2ListLibraryAgentsMockHandler200,
  getGetV2ListLibraryAgentsMockHandler422,
} from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/library/library.msw";
// Import the component under test
import LibraryPage from "../page";

describe("LibraryPage", () => {
  test("renders agent list from API", async () => {
    server.use(getGetV2ListLibraryAgentsMockHandler200());

    render(<LibraryPage />);

    expect(await screen.findByText(/my agents/i)).toBeDefined();
  });

  test("shows error state on API failure", async () => {
    server.use(getGetV2ListLibraryAgentsMockHandler422());

    render(<LibraryPage />);

    expect(await screen.findByText(/error/i)).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Rules

• Use render() from @/tests/integrations/test-utils (NOT from @testing-library/react directly)
• Use server.use() to set up MSW handlers BEFORE rendering
• Use findBy* (async) for elements that appear after data fetching — NOT getBy*
• Use getBy* only for elements that are immediately present in the DOM
• Use screen queries — do NOT destructure from render()
• Use waitFor when asserting side effects or state changes after interactions
• Import fireEvent or userEvent from the test-utils for interactions
• Do NOT mock internal hooks or functions — mock at the API boundary via MSW
• Prefer Orval-generated MSW handlers and response builders over hand-built API response objects
• Do NOT use act() manually — render and fireEvent handle it
• Keep tests focused: one behavior per test
• Use descriptive test names that read like sentences

Test location

# For pages: __tests__/ next to page.tsx
src/app/(platform)/library/__tests__/main.test.tsx

# For complex standalone components: __tests__/ inside component folder
src/app/(platform)/library/components/AgentCard/__tests__/AgentCard.test.tsx

# For pure helpers: co-located .test.ts
src/app/(platform)/library/helpers.test.ts

Custom MSW overrides

When the auto-generated faker data is not enough, override with specific data:

import { http, HttpResponse } from "msw";

server.use(
  http.get("http://localhost:3000/api/proxy/api/v2/library/agents", () => {
    return HttpResponse.json({
      agents: [{ id: "1", name: "Test Agent", description: "A test agent" }],
      pagination: { total_items: 1, total_pages: 1, page: 1, page_size: 10 },
    });
  }),
);

Use the proxy URL pattern: http://localhost:3000/api/proxy/api/v{version}/{path} — this matches the MSW base URL configured in orval.config.ts.

Step 7: Run and verify

After writing all tests:

cd autogpt_platform/frontend
pnpm test:unit --reporter=verbose

If tests fail:

1. Read the error output carefully
2. Fix the test (not the source code, unless there is a genuine bug)
3. Re-run until all pass

Then run the full checks:

pnpm format
pnpm lint
pnpm types
