New test files will need their namespace added to either the file "src/quo/core_spec.cljs" or "src/status_im2/core_spec.cljs. These locations may update overtime but it is dependent on the entrypoint in shadow-cljs config discussed below.
To that point these guidelines will follow the conventions of Jest and React Native Testing Library recommendations and Status mobile will just stack their preferences on top.
There is a file of utility functions defined in "src/test_helpers/component.cljs" and "src/test_helpers/component.clj". It will be great to use these utilities and to add any common testing tools to these files as it should make writing tests easier and faster.
## Configuration
Status Mobile has a bespoke tech stack, as such there is more complexities to configuring the tests.
the configuration for compiling our tests are defined in the "shadow-cljs.edn" file.
The three main parts of this are
`:target :npm-module`
Needed for the configuration we are using
`:entries`
a vector of entry points for the test files.
and the `ns-regexp` to specify what tests to find. Since we have multiple forms of tests we decided that "component-spec" is the least likely to detect the wrong file type.
There is also further configuration for Jest in "test/jest". There is a jest config file which has some mostly standard configuration pieces, where the tests live, what environment variables are set etc. This is documented by Jest here: https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration
There is also a setup file which is used to set some global and default values. Additionally this file is used to mock some of the react native (among other) dependencies.
