Repo Source Code Test Frameworks

Writing Framework Tests

Tests for frameworks/<fw>/. For packages/core/ or packages/methods/, use repo-source-code-test-packages.

Rules

1. React is the canonical reference. New shared tests land in frameworks/react first, then port.
2. Cross-framework consistency. Shared API (useForm/createForm/injectForm, useField, useFieldArray, Field, FieldArray) keeps the same describe/test names, schemas, initialInput, expected outputs. Only mechanical adapters differ. Test what the adapter actually exports: React Native has no Form component, and Angular ships directives instead of components.
3. No framework hint in test names. Never 'should ... (Solid-only)'. Use a // ... comment above the test if framework-specific reasoning matters.
4. No tautological assertions. A test must be able to fail under a real source change.
5. 100% coverage on non-excluded files. Match React's vitest.config.ts exclusions: src/types, src/vitest, **/index.ts(x), test files.
6. vi.waitFor for async, never setTimeout(0).

Standard test set

Identical describe/test names across all frameworks:

Form only exists where the adapter provides it: React Native has no Form component, and Angular ships the [formischForm] directive instead.

The store stability describe tests useMemo across re-renders and exists only in React and React Native. In other frameworks omit it with a one-line // Note: ... comment.

Per-framework adapters

renderHook

• Preact / React / React Native: from the testing library — { result: { current }, rerender, unmount }.
• Solid: from @solidjs/testing-library — { result, owner, cleanup }. result is direct, not wrapped in .current. Use createRoot from solid-js only if no JSX context is needed; our primitives need an owner so renderHook is the default.
• Vue: custom helper at src/vitest/renderHook.ts — mounts a defineComponent({ setup() { return hook(); } }) (the canonical Vue Test Utils TestComponent recipe). Required because onBeforeMount/computed need component context.
• Angular: no renderHook. Call the inject functions inside TestBed.runInInjectionContext(() => …) (or runInInjectionContext(injector, …) when you need to control destruction), and mount a host @Component with TestBed.createComponent for directive tests.
• Svelte: custom helper at src/vitest/renderHook.ts — mounts Hook.svelte. Required because onMount and [createAttachmentKey()] need template context. For pure rune logic with no lifecycle, $effect.root(() => { ... })() in a .test.svelte.ts is lighter — but no covered rune in this repo qualifies.

Async

tsCopy code
// ❌ flaky
await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0));
// ✅
await vi.waitFor(() => expect(form.isValid).toBe(false));

For Svelte rune updates, flushSync() from svelte synchronously drains derived/effect updates before the assertion. For Vue, flushPromises() from @vue/test-utils is fine for one-shot microtask drains; prefer vi.waitFor for multi-tick reactive flows.

Type tests (*.test-d.ts)

tsCopy code
import * as v from 'valibot';
import { describe, expectTypeOf, test } from 'vitest';
import type { FieldStore } from '../../types/index.ts';
import { useForm } from '../useForm/index.ts';
import { useField } from './useField.ts';

describe('useField', () => {
  test('should narrow input type for primitive leaves', () => {
    const schema = v.object({ name: v.string() });
    const form = useForm({ schema });
    expectTypeOf(useField(form, { path: ['name'] }).input).toEqualTypeOf<
      string | undefined
    >();
  });

  test('should reject invalid paths', () => {
    const form = useForm({ schema: v.object({ name: v.string() }) });
    // @ts-expect-error nonexistent field
    useField(form, { path: ['nonexistent'] });
  });
});

For Preact, wrap leaf types in ReadonlySignal<...>, and for Angular in its Signal<...> — those are the only framework-specific deltas in .test-d.ts files. Angular's types/field.test-d.ts additionally checks that a FieldStore stays assignable across schema and path generics, which is what its directives rely on.

Schema types

Always derive with typeof schema. If the schema is referenced only at the type level (host owns runtime), suppress the lint warning rather than hand-writing the valibot generic shape:

tsCopy code
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars -- referenced only via `typeof schema`
const schema = v.object({ name: v.string() });
type Schema = typeof schema;

Framework gotchas

Angular — every reactive field.* / form.* is an Angular Signal<T>; read by calling it (field.isDirty()). Setter is field.setInput(v). There is no props object: templates bind [formischControl]="field" and pass the value with [value]="field.input() ?? ''". Field tests mount a host @Component whose template uses *formischField="['path'] of form; let field", configure TestBed with provideZonelessChangeDetection(), and drive the DOM with input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input')) followed by await fixture.whenStable() and fixture.detectChanges(). src/vitest/setup.ts already calls TestBed.initTestEnvironment and resets the module after each test.

Preact — every reactive field.* / form.* is a ReadonlySignal<T>; read with .value. Setter is field.onInput(v). DOM events fire on oninput. props.autofocus is lowercase.

React Native — tests render through react-native-web with @testing-library/react and jsdom, so fireEvent.change / fireEvent.focus work on the rendered TextInput. field.props has no name and no autoFocus; text is set via onChangeText. There is no Form component and no submit method, so submission tests call handleSubmit. Element cleanup differs by React version: react-native-web discards ref cleanup functions, so tests that assert per-element unregistration must render raw elements — see the comments in useField.test.tsx.

Solid — primitive is createForm (not useForm). Methods (insert, swap) don't need act(). Use class= not className= in JSX. vite-plugin-solid ≥ 2.8.2 auto-configures vitest; don't add manual deps overrides.

Vue — field.props has no onInput; wire DOM input via the setter:

tsCopy code
h('input', {
  ...field.props,
  value: field.input ?? '',
  onInput: (e: Event) => {
    field.input = (e.target as HTMLInputElement).value;
  },
});

For "element removed" assertions, mount with attachTo: document.body and query document.querySelector — wrapper.find keeps finding stale nodes after unmount().

Svelte — runes need Svelte compilation. Three test patterns:

• Hook.svelte via renderHook — default; required when source calls onMount or uses [createAttachmentKey()].
• *Host.test.svelte per-test components — for snippet/slot rendering of Field/FieldArray/Form.
• $effect.root in a *.test.svelte.ts — only for pure rune logic with no lifecycle.

Snippets can't run statements; forward values via {@const _ = onField(field)} with a comment explaining the pattern. After every test, cleanup() from @testing-library/svelte must run in setup.ts or screen.getByTestId finds duplicates.

Svelte build hygiene — package.json files excludes **/*.test.*, **/*.test-d.*, dist/vitest. Verify after adding new fixtures:

bashCopy code
pnpm -C frameworks/svelte build && cd frameworks/svelte && pnpm pack --pack-destination /tmp/
tar -tzf /tmp/formisch-svelte-*.tgz | grep -E "(test|Host|vitest)"  # must be empty

Coverage

bashCopy code
cd frameworks/<fw> && pnpm exec vitest run --coverage

Must hit 100% on every non-excluded file. Common gaps that need framework-specific tests (no React analogue): field.props.onChange handler (Preact/Solid/Svelte/Vue, covered by validate:'change' test), usePathSignal length-mismatch branch (Preact), unwrap (Solid/Svelte). Add such tests with a // ... comment, not a (X-only) suffix.

Running

bashCopy code
pnpm -C frameworks/<fw> test           # runtime + type
pnpm -C frameworks/<fw> lint           # eslint + tsc --noEmit

CI: <fw>_vitest job in .github/workflows/ci.yml.
