Director Mode Lite - Test Execution Reference
Supported Frameworks
Detect the project's test framework, then use its runner:
| Language | Frameworks |
|---|---|
| JavaScript/TypeScript | Jest, Vitest, Mocha, Playwright |
| Python | pytest, unittest |
| Go | go test |
| Rust | cargo test |
| Java | JUnit, Maven, Gradle |
Test Workflow
Step 1: Detect Framework
Check for configuration files:
jest.config.*→ Jestvitest.config.*→ Vitestpytest.iniorpyproject.toml→ pytestgo.mod→ go testCargo.toml→ cargo test
Step 2: Run Tests
Run tests with the detected framework's command:
# JavaScript/TypeScript
npm test # or pnpm test / yarn test
# Python
pytest -v
# Go
go test ./...
# Rust
cargo test
For coverage, add the framework's coverage flag (for example pytest --cov, jest --coverage, go test -cover ./..., cargo tarpaulin).
Step 3: Analyze Results
For each failure, capture:
- Test name and file location
- Expected vs Actual result
- Root cause analysis
- Suggested fix
Output Format
## Test Results
**Status**: 2 failed, 18 passed (90% pass rate)
### Failed Tests
#### 1. `user.test.ts` - should validate email format
- **Location**: `src/tests/user.test.ts:45`
- **Expected**: `false` for invalid email
- **Actual**: `true`
- **Root Cause**: Regex pattern missing check for domain
- **Fix**: Update regex in `validateEmail()` function
#### 2. `api.test.ts` - should return 401 for unauthorized
- **Location**: `src/tests/api.test.ts:78`
- **Expected**: Status 401
- **Actual**: Status 500
- **Root Cause**: Auth middleware throwing unhandled error
- **Fix**: Add try-catch in auth middleware
### Coverage Summary
- Statements: 85%
- Branches: 72%
- Functions: 90%
- Lines: 84%
TDD Support
When working with the /test-first command:
- Red: Write a failing test first
- Green: Implement the minimum code to pass
- Refactor: Improve without changing behavior
Cycle: Write Test → Run (Fail) → Implement → Run (Pass) → Refactor → Run (Pass)
