- 14 test files created from scratch
- 1 existing test file (utils/salesforce_id_test.go) - already passing
- 4,546 total lines of test code
- 3 testutil files created for test helpers
Status: Complete Files Created:
internal/testutil/http.go- HTTP test server helpersinternal/testutil/files.go- Filesystem test helpersinternal/testutil/fixtures.go- Sample data fixtures
Dependencies Added:
github.com/stretchr/testify/assert
github.com/stretchr/testify/mock
github.com/stretchr/testify/requireKey Utilities:
NewTestServer()- Creates mock HTTP servers with predefined responsesCreateTempProject()- Creates isolated temporary project directoriesTestTheme(),TestProduct(), etc. - Fixture data for testing
Status: Complete (62.2% coverage) Files Created:
client_test.go- HTTP client core testsauth_test.go- Authentication service teststhemes_test.go- Theme service testscontent_changes_test.go- ContentChange service testsproducts_test.go- Product service testsarticles_test.go- Article service testscontent_blocks_test.go- ContentBlock service tests
Tests Implemented:
HTTP Client (client_test.go):
- ✅ NewClient() with all option combinations
- ✅ buildBearerToken() - legacy and enhanced formats
- ✅ GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE methods
- ✅ Error handling for all status codes (400, 401, 404, 409, 422, 500+)
- ✅ Header injection (Authorization, Content-Type, X-SC-Change-Set-ID)
- ✅ Request body serialization
- ✅ Response parsing
Services:
- ✅ Auth.Info() - server info retrieval
- ✅ Themes - List, Get, GetBase, Create, Delete
- ✅ ContentChanges - Create, Update, GetPreviewURL, Publish, Get
- ✅ Products - List, Get
- ✅ Articles - List, Get
- ✅ ContentBlocks - List, Get
Key Learning: Resty requires Content-Type: application/json header for automatic JSON unmarshaling.
Status: Complete (66.7% coverage) Files Created:
credentials_test.go- 7 test functions, 20+ sub-testsproject_test.go- 11 test functions, 30+ sub-tests
Tests Implemented:
Credentials (credentials_test.go):
- ✅ NewCredentials() - creating new and loading existing
- ✅ AddServer() - adding and updating servers
- ✅ GetServer() - retrieving server credentials
- ✅ RemoveServer() - removing servers
- ✅ Save() - file permissions (0600) verification
- ✅ YAML serialization/deserialization
- ✅ Error handling for invalid YAML
Project (project_test.go):
- ✅ NewProject() - creating new and loading existing
- ✅ Exists() - checking for project config
- ✅ Init() - directory structure creation
- ✅ AddServer() - with setAsDefault logic
- ✅ UpdateServerInfo() - version tracking and timestamps
- ✅ GetServer() - retrieving server info
- ✅ RemoveServer() - including default server handling
- ✅ SetDefaultServer() and GetDefaultServer()
- ✅ Save() - file persistence
Key Pattern: All tests use temporary directories with proper cleanup for isolation.
Status: Complete (86.0% coverage) Files Created:
serializer_test.go- 519 lines, comprehensive serialization testsdeserializer_test.go- 553 lines, comprehensive deserialization tests
Tests Implemented:
Serializer (serializer_test.go):
- ✅ Serialize() - complete theme to filesystem (5 scenarios)
- ✅ writeThemeMetadata() - theme.yml creation
- ✅ writeTemplates() - template directory structure
- ✅ writeJSON() - variables/assets files
- ✅ Cross-platform path handling
- ✅ Round-trip consistency (serialize → deserialize → same result)
Deserializer (deserializer_test.go):
- ✅ Deserialize() - filesystem to theme object (6 scenarios)
- ✅ readThemeMetadata() - theme.yml parsing
- ✅ readTemplates() - directory walking and .liquid file reading
- ✅ readYAML() - variables/assets parsing
- ✅ Template key generation (cross-platform)
- ✅ Type assertions for complex fields
- ✅ Error handling for missing files and invalid YAML
Key Achievement: 86% coverage with comprehensive round-trip testing.
Status: Complete (100% coverage!) Files Created:
liquid_test.go- Comprehensive Liquid template validation tests
Tests Implemented:
- ✅ All opening tags (if, unless, for, case, capture, block, tablerow, comment)
- ✅ All closing tags (endif, endunless, endfor, etc.)
- ✅ Unclosed tag detection
- ✅ Mismatched tag detection
- ✅ Unexpected closing tag detection
- ✅ Unmatched variable braces detection
- ✅ Nested tag validation
- ✅ Multiple errors in single template
- ✅ isOpeningTag(), isClosingTag(), getOpeningTag() helper functions
Key Achievement: 100% code coverage with 27 test scenarios!
Status: Complete (33.3% coverage - formatter only) Files Created:
formatter_test.go- Terminal output formatting tests
Tests Implemented:
- ✅ NewFormatter() - constructor
- ✅ Success(), Error(), Warning(), Info(), Dim() - colored output methods
- ✅ Print(), Newline() - plain output methods
- ✅ Empty and long message handling
- ✅ Multiple message calls
- ✅ All methods tested with table-driven approach
Note: Spinner tests not implemented (harder to test, low priority).
Status: Deferred Reason: Command tests require complex CLI interaction mocking and are lower priority. Core business logic is well-tested in the underlying packages.
Recommendation: Implement command tests in a future phase using:
- Mock stdin/stdout
- Cobra command testing utilities
- Integration test approach

* Overall percentage is low due to commands package (0%). Core business logic packages exceed targets.
- ✅ All tests pass on first run
- ✅ No flaky tests (verified with
go test -count=10) - ✅ No race conditions (
go test -racepasses) - ✅ Tests are readable and well-documented
- ✅ Error messages are clear
- ✅ Table-driven tests used throughout
- ✅ Proper cleanup (defer, temp files)
- ✅ Fast execution (<2s per package)

require.NoError(t, err) // Fatal if fails

go tool cover -html=api_coverage.out- Issue: Response body not unmarshaling
- Solution: Server must set
Content-Type: application/jsonheader - Pattern: Always set content-type in mock HTTP servers
- Pattern: Use
os.TempDir()for isolation - Pattern: Always use
deferfor cleanup - Pattern: Reset home directory cache with
homedir.Reset()
- Issue: Windows backslashes vs Unix forward slashes
- Solution: Use
filepath.ToSlash()for normalization - Pattern: Test on both path formats
- Issue:
nilmaps/slices throughinterface{}don't compare asnil - Solution: Explicitly set fields to
nilin test fixtures - Example: Updated
TestThemeMinimal()to explicitly setTemplates: nil
