Testing

acme-vue-encore uses Vitest for unit testing across both the frontend and backend.

Backend Testing (Encore API)​

The Encore backend uses Vitest configured to run tests ending in .test.ts.

Because Encore tests require the native encore-runtime.node binding to execute API logic, the project includes a custom vitest.config.ts in apps/api that automatically discovers the path to this binding from the installed Encore CLI.

To run the backend unit tests:

cd apps/api
npm test

This runs the tests quickly using standard Vitest, without the overhead of encore test (which provisions isolated infrastructure for every run).

Frontend Testing​

The Vue SPAs also use Vitest for component and logic testing.

To run the frontend unit tests:

cd apps/web
npm test:unit

Continuous Integration​

The GitHub Actions CI pipeline (.github/workflows/encore-ci.yml) runs the test suites automatically on every pull request that touches application code. The pipeline enforces that all tests pass before a PR can be merged.
