Umbraco Unit Testing

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to execute unit tests specifically within the Umbraco CMS ecosystem. It allows for automated verification of code changes, ensuring that custom modules and integrations function correctly before deployment.

When to use it

• Validate new or modified Umbraco controllers, services, and models during development cycles.
• Automate regression testing when updating dependencies or refactoring existing backoffice logic.
• Ensure data integrity by running test suites against specific Umbraco configurations.
• Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to gate deployments based on test pass/fail results.

Key capabilities

• Executes unit tests tailored for the Umbraco framework architecture.
• Supports testing of custom packages and extensions within the CMS environment.
• Provides immediate feedback on code stability and functionality.

Example prompts

• "Run the full unit test suite for my new content service module."
• "Execute specific tests related to user authentication logic in the backoffice."
• "Validate that my custom data type handler works correctly with existing Umbraco models."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your development environment has all necessary Umbraco dependencies installed before running tests. Unit testing requires a clean, isolated environment; avoid running these tests directly on production instances to prevent unintended side effects or data corruption.
