---

## For AI Agents

When working in this codebase:

1. **Start with INDEX.md** (this file) to orient yourself
2. **Check test-specs/** for the area you're working on - each spec tracks its own progress and gaps
3. **Check requirements/** for formal correctness criteria
4. **Check audits/** for current implementation details
5. **Update the relevant test-spec's Progress section** when you make discoveries

### Quine-Style Iteration Pattern

Each test area is self-contained with:
- Requirements (what must be true)
- Test specifications (how to verify)
- Progress tracking (what's done, what's discovered)
- Priority gaps (what to work on next)

This allows focused iteration on one topical area at a time.

# Test Suite Optimization Guide

This document describes optimizations made to the Nightscout test suite and recommendations for further improvements, especially in GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.

## Optimizations Implemented

### 1. Converted beforeEach to before for App Initialization

**Files Modified:**
- `tests/api.partial-failures.test.js`
- `tests/api.deduplication.test.js`
- `tests/api.aaps-client.test.js`
- `tests/api.v1-batch-operations.test.js`
- `tests/websocket.shape-handling.test.js`
- `tests/storage.shape-handling.test.js`
- `tests/api.treatments.test.js`
- `tests/api.profiles.test.js`
- `tests/api.devicestatus.test.js`
- `tests/api.food.js`
- `tests/api.activity.js`
- `tests/XX_clean.test.js`

**Impact:** Each file now boots the app once per test file instead of once per test. For files with 10+ tests, this saves significant time.

### 2. Made clearRequireCache Optional

**File Modified:** `tests/hooks.js`

**Change:** The `clearRequireCache()` function now only runs when `CLEAR_REQUIRE_CACHE=true` is set. By default, the require cache is preserved between tests.

**Rationale:** Clearing the require cache after every test forces complete re-initialization of all modules, which is expensive. Most tests don't need full isolation.

**Usage:**
```bash
# Default (faster) - cache is preserved
npm test

# Full isolation mode (slower but more isolated)
CLEAR_REQUIRE_CACHE=true npm test
```

### 3. Added Parallel Test Scripts

**File Modified:** `package.json`

**New Scripts:**
```json
{
"test:fast": "env-cmd -f ./my.test.env mocha --timeout 5000 --require ./tests/hooks.js --exit --reporter min ./tests/*.test.js",
"test:parallel": "env-cmd -f ./my.test.env mocha --timeout 10000 --require ./tests/hooks.js --exit --parallel --jobs 4 ./tests/*.test.js",
"test:parallel:ci": "env-cmd -f ./tests/ci.test.env nyc --reporter=lcov --reporter=text-summary mocha --timeout 10000 --require ./tests/hooks.js --exit --parallel --jobs 4 ./tests/*.test.js"
}

## GitHub Actions Recommendations

### Option 1: Sequential Testing with Optimizations (Recommended for CI Stability)

The safest option for CI is to continue running tests sequentially but benefit from the `beforeEach→before` optimizations:

```yaml
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '16'
cache: 'npm'
- name: Start MongoDB
uses: supercharge/mongodb-github-action@1.10.0
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run test-ci
```

### Option 2: Parallel Testing (Experimental)

**Warning:** Parallel testing shares the same MongoDB instance across workers. This can cause flaky tests if tests modify global state or use the same document IDs. The `test:parallel:ci` script enables `CLEAR_REQUIRE_CACHE=true` for isolation and limits to 2 jobs to reduce contention.

```yaml
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '16'
cache: 'npm'
- name: Start MongoDB
uses: supercharge/mongodb-github-action@1.10.0
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run test:parallel:ci
```

For true parallel isolation, use the matrix sharding approach below which runs each shard in a separate job with its own MongoDB instance.

### Option 3: Test Sharding with Matrix Strategy

Split tests across multiple runners for maximum parallelization:

```yaml
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
shard: [1, 2, 3, 4]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '16'
cache: 'npm'
- name: Start MongoDB
uses: supercharge/mongodb-github-action@1.10.0
- run: npm ci
- name: Run Tests (Shard ${{ matrix.shard }})
run: |
# Get list of test files and run only this shard's portion
files=(tests/*.test.js)
total=${#files[@]}
per_shard=$(( (total + 3) / 4 ))
start=$(( (matrix.shard - 1) * per_shard ))
shard_files="${files[@]:$start:$per_shard}"
env-cmd -f ./tests/ci.test.env mocha --timeout 10000 --require ./tests/hooks.js --exit $shard_files
```

### Option 3: Dependency Caching

Ensure npm dependencies are cached:

```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '16'
cache: 'npm'
```

### Option 4: Conditional Test Execution

Only run tests affected by changes:

```yaml
- name: Get changed files
id: changed
uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v40
with:
files: |
lib/**
tests/**

- name: Run tests
if: steps.changed.outputs.any_changed == 'true'
run: npm run test:parallel:ci
```

## Performance Comparison

| Mode | Estimated Time | Use Case |
|------|---------------|----------|
| `npm test` | Baseline | Local development |
| `npm run test:fast` | ~20% faster | Quick feedback, minimal output |
| `npm run test:parallel` | ~50-70% faster | Local with multiple cores |
| Matrix sharding (4 runners) | ~75% faster | CI/CD pipelines |

## Monitoring Test Performance

Use the built-in timing instrumentation:

```bash
# Show slow test warnings
npm run test:timing

# Lower threshold for more aggressive detection
SLOW_TEST_THRESHOLD=500 npm run test:timing
```

## Best Practices for New Tests

1. **Use `before()` for app setup** - Not `beforeEach()` unless you specifically need fresh state
2. **Only clean data in `beforeEach()`** - Database cleanup should happen before tests, not app initialization
3. **Avoid `setTimeout` in tests** - Use polling patterns with `waitForConditionWithWarning()` from `tests/lib/test-helpers.js`
4. **Keep tests independent** - Each test should clean its own data before running
