Why use Supertest with Vitest for integration tests?

Supertest provides a high-level abstraction for testing HTTP requests, while Vitest offers a modern, lightning-fast test runner, creating a highly efficient environment for API validation.

Is this configuration optimized for CI/CD?

Yes, the Vitest configuration is tuned with specific pool options and timeouts to prevent conflicts and ensure stability in automated pipeline environments.

Does this skill handle database isolation?

Yes, it includes specific Prisma-based teardown logic to reset the database state between tests, ensuring that each test case remains independent.

Can I test protected routes and authentication?

Absolutely. The skill includes patterns for generating mock JWTs and testing various auth scenarios, including login, token refresh, and role-based access control.

Security & Testing

Implements robust API integration testing using Supertest and Vitest for Node.js backend services.

About

This skill provides standardized patterns and configurations for performing deep integration testing on Node.js APIs. It streamlines the setup of Vitest and Supertest, offering production-ready templates for verifying request/response cycles, database interactions via Prisma, and complex authentication flows. By focusing on real behavior, this skill helps developers ensure that all components of their application—from the routing layer to the persistence layer—function correctly together before deployment.
