Test Cli Application

Skill Verified Active

Write integration tests for a Node.js CLI application using the built-in node:test module. Covers the exec helper pattern, output assertions, filesystem state verification, cleanup hooks, JSON output parsing, error case testing, and state restoration after destructive tests. Use when adding tests to an existing CLI, testing a new command, verifying adapter behavior across frameworks, or setting up CI for a CLI tool.

Use Cases

  • Adding tests to an existing CLI
  • Testing a new CLI command
  • Verifying adapter behavior
  • Setting up CI for CLI tools

Non-Goals

  • Unit testing internal functions directly
  • End-to-end testing of full application workflows beyond CLI interaction
