Component tests use Vitest with Vue Test Utils and snapshot testing.
File Location
Tests live in test/components/ matching the component name (e.g., Button.spec.ts).
Basic Test Structure
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { axe } from 'vitest-axe'
import { mountSuspended } from '@nuxt/test-utils/runtime'
import ComponentName from '../../src/runtime/components/ComponentName.vue'
import { renderEach } from '../component-render'
import theme from '#build/ui/component-name'
describe('ComponentName', () => {
// Extract variant keys for dynamic testing
const sizes = Object.keys(theme.variants.size) as any
const variants = Object.keys(theme.variants.variant) as any
renderEach(ComponentName, [
// Props
['with label', { props: { label: 'Label' } }],
...sizes.map((size: string) => [`with size ${size}`, { props: { label: 'Label', size } }]),
...variants.map((variant: string) => [`with variant ${variant}`, { props: { label: 'Label', variant } }]),
['with icon', { props: { icon: 'i-lucide-rocket' } }],
['with disabled', { props: { label: 'Label', disabled: true } }],
['with class', { props: { label: 'Label', class: 'custom-class' } }],
['with ui', { props: { label: 'Label', ui: { base: 'font-bold' } } }],
// Slots
['with default slot', { slots: { default: () => 'Default slot' } }],
['with leading slot', { slots: { leading: () => 'Leading slot' } }],
['with trailing slot', { slots: { trailing: () => 'Trailing slot' } }]
])
// Accessibility test
it('passes accessibility tests', async () => {
const wrapper = await mountSuspended(ComponentName, {
props: {
label: 'Accessible Label'
}
})
expect(await axe(wrapper.element)).toHaveNoViolations()
})
})
Testing Patterns
Props Variations
Test all significant prop combinations:
renderEach(Button, [
// Basic props
['with label', { props: { label: 'Button' } }],
// All sizes
...sizes.map((size: string) => [`with size ${size}`, { props: { label: 'Button', size } }]),
// All variants with primary color
...variants.map((variant: string) => [`with primary variant ${variant}`, { props: { label: 'Button', variant } }]),
// All variants with neutral color
...variants.map((variant: string) => [`with neutral variant ${variant}`, { props: { label: 'Button', variant, color: 'neutral' } }]),
// Icon variations
['with icon', { props: { icon: 'i-lucide-rocket' } }],
['with leading and icon', { props: { leading: true, icon: 'i-lucide-arrow-left' } }],
['with leadingIcon', { props: { leadingIcon: 'i-lucide-arrow-left' } }],
['with trailing and icon', { props: { trailing: true, icon: 'i-lucide-arrow-right' } }],
['with trailingIcon', { props: { trailingIcon: 'i-lucide-arrow-right' } }],
// States
['with loading', { props: { loading: true } }],
['with disabled', { props: { label: 'Button', disabled: true } }],
// Customization
['with class', { props: { label: 'Button', class: 'rounded-full font-bold' } }],
['with ui', { props: { label: 'Button', ui: { label: 'font-bold' } } }]
])
Slots Testing
// Simple slot
['with default slot', { slots: { default: () => 'Default slot' } }],
// Slot with props access
['with default slot using props', {
slots: {
default: (props: any) => `UI: ${JSON.stringify(props.ui)}`
}
}],
// Multiple slots
['with all slots', {
slots: {
leading: () => 'Leading',
default: () => 'Default',
trailing: () => 'Trailing'
}
}]
Interactive Behavior Tests
test('with loading-auto works', async () => {
let resolve: any | null = null
const wrapper = await mountSuspended({
components: { Button },
setup() {
function onClick() {
return new Promise(res => resolve = res)
}
return { onClick }
},
template: `<Button loading-auto @click="onClick">Click</Button>`
})
const button = wrapper.find('button')
button.trigger('click')
await flushPromises()
const icon = wrapper.findComponent({ name: 'Icon' })
expect(icon.classes()).toContain('animate-spin')
resolve?.(null)
})
Form Integration Tests
test('works with UForm', async () => {
const wrapper = await mountSuspended({
components: { Input, UForm },
setup() {
const form = ref()
return { form }
},
template: `
<UForm :state="{}" ref="form">
<Input name="test" />
</UForm>
`
})
// Test form integration
})
Accessibility Testing
Always include accessibility tests:
it('passes accessibility tests', async () => {
const wrapper = await mountSuspended(ComponentName, {
props: {
// Provide props that ensure accessible markup
label: 'Accessible Label',
// For images
avatar: {
src: 'https://example.com/image.png',
alt: 'Description'
}
}
})
expect(await axe(wrapper.element)).toHaveNoViolations()
})
Snapshot Updates
When component changes require snapshot updates:
- Run tests:
pnpm run test - Review changes carefully
- Press
uto update snapshots - Commit updated snapshots
Never manually edit snapshot files.
Running Tests
# Run all tests
pnpm run test
# Run specific test file
pnpm run test Button
# Run with coverage
pnpm run test -- --coverage
# Watch mode
pnpm run test -- --watch
