| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This document summarizes the work done to implement Karma unit testing for the eForm Angular Frontend, specifically for methods in `eform-client/src/app/modules`. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## What Has Been Completed |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### 1. Testing Infrastructure Setup |
| 10 | + |

| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### 4. Testing Patterns Established |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +All spec files follow consistent patterns: |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +```typescript |
| 112 | +// 1. Proper imports and declarations |
| 113 | +import { ComponentFixture, TestBed, waitForAsync } from '@angular/core/testing'; |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +// 2. Mock creation using Jasmine spies |
| 116 | +mockService = jasmine.createSpyObj('ServiceName', ['method1', 'method2']); |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +// 3. TestBed configuration with providers |
| 119 | +TestBed.configureTestingModule({ |
| 120 | + declarations: [ComponentName], |
| 121 | + providers: [ |
| 122 | + { provide: ServiceName, useValue: mockService } |
| 123 | + ] |
| 124 | +}); |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +// 4. Structured test suites with describe blocks |
| 127 | +describe('ComponentName', () => { |
| 128 | + describe('methodName', () => { |
| 129 | + it('should do something successfully', () => { |
| 130 | + // Arrange, Act, Assert pattern |
| 131 | + }); |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | + it('should handle failures', () => { |
| 134 | + // Test error scenarios |
| 135 | + }); |
| 136 | + }); |
| 137 | +}); |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +## What Remains To Be Done |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +### Components Without Tests |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +There are approximately **90+ components** remaining across various modules: |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +#### Advanced Module |
| 147 | +- Entity Search components (entity-search, entity-search-remove) |
| 148 | +- Entity Select components (entity-select, entity-select-remove) |
| 149 | +- Navigation Menu components (multiple) |
| 150 | +- Unit Move component |
| 151 | +- Folder Edit/Create component |
| 152 | +- State services (entity-search-state.service, entity-select-state.service) |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +#### Other Modules |
| 155 | +- **Plugins Management** (~5 components) |
| 156 | +- **Cases** (~2 components) |
| 157 | +- **Application Settings** (components and state service) |
| 158 | +- **Security** (components and state service) |
| 159 | +- **Device Users** (components and state service) |
| 160 | +- **Email Recipients** (components and state service) |
| 161 | +- **Account Management** (components and state service) |
| 162 | +- **Auth** (components) |
| 163 | +- **Eforms** (multiple components and state service) |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +### Services Without Tests |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +State services in various modules: |
| 168 | +- entity-search-state.service.ts |
| 169 | +- entity-select-state.service.ts |
| 170 | +- device-users-state.service.ts |
| 171 | +- app-settings-state.service.ts |
| 172 | +- security-state.service.ts |
| 173 | +- eforms-state.service.ts |
| 174 | +- users-state.service.ts |
| 175 | +- email-recipients-state.service.ts |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +## How to Continue |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +### For Developers |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +1. **Use the generate-spec.sh script**: |
| 182 | + ```bash |
| 183 | + cd eform-client |
| 184 | + ./generate-spec.sh src/app/modules/path/to/component.component.ts |
| 185 | + ``` |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +2. **Follow the patterns** in TESTING.md |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +3. **Reference existing spec files**: |
| 190 | + - Simple components: `worker-delete.component.spec.ts`, `folder-delete.component.spec.ts` |
| 191 | + - Complex components: `workers.component.spec.ts`, `folders.component.spec.ts` |
| 192 | + - Create/Edit forms: `worker-edit-create.component.spec.ts`, `unit-create.component.spec.ts` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +4. **Test incrementally**: |
| 195 | + ```bash |
| 196 | + # Run specific test file (if karma configuration supports it) |
| 197 | + ng test --include='**/your-component.spec.ts' --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | + # Run all tests |
| 200 | + ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless |
| 201 | + ``` |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +### Test Coverage Goals |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +For each component, ensure: |
| 206 | +- ✅ Component creation test (`it('should create')`) |
| 207 | +- ✅ All public methods have tests |
| 208 | +- ✅ Both success and failure scenarios covered |
| 209 | +- ✅ Edge cases tested (null, undefined, empty arrays) |
| 210 | +- ✅ Dialog interactions verified (if applicable) |
| 211 | +- ✅ Service method calls verified |
| 212 | +- ✅ Component state changes verified |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +### Running Tests |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +```bash |
| 217 | +# Development mode with watch |
| 218 | +ng test |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +# CI/CD mode (headless) |
| 221 | +ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +# With coverage report |
| 224 | +ng test --code-coverage --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +## Key Learnings |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +### 1. OperationResult Models |
| 230 | +All API response models require a `message` property: |
| 231 | +```typescript |
| 232 | +const mockResult: OperationResult = { |
| 233 | + success: true, |
| 234 | + message: '' |
| 235 | +}; |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +const mockDataResult: OperationDataResult<T> = { |
| 238 | + success: true, |
| 239 | + message: '', |
| 240 | + model: data |
| 241 | +}; |
| 242 | +``` |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +### 2. Zone.js Imports |
| 245 | +Modern Angular requires: |
| 246 | +```typescript |
| 247 | +import 'zone.js'; |
| 248 | +import 'zone.js/testing'; |
| 249 | +``` |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +### 3. Karma Configuration |
| 252 | +Increased timeouts prevent disconnections: |
| 253 | +```javascript |
| 254 | +browserNoActivityTimeout: 60000, |
| 255 | +browserDisconnectTimeout: 10000, |
| 256 | +browserDisconnectTolerance: 3 |
| 257 | +``` |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +### 4. Mocking Strategies |
| 260 | +- Always use `jasmine.createSpyObj()` for services |
| 261 | +- Configure return values with `.and.returnValue(of(...))` |
| 262 | +- Verify calls with `.toHaveBeenCalled()` or `.toHaveBeenCalledWith(...)` |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +## Conclusion |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +The foundation for comprehensive unit testing has been established with: |
| 267 | +- ✅ Complete testing infrastructure |
| 268 | +- ✅ 9 example spec files covering common patterns |
| 269 | +- ✅ Comprehensive documentation (TESTING.md) |
| 270 | +- ✅ Code generation tool (generate-spec.sh) |
| 271 | +- ✅ Established best practices and patterns |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +The remaining work involves applying these established patterns to the ~90 remaining components, which can be done iteratively by following the documented guidelines and examples. |
