From b9fb5b5b114d8c724e602c25866544d7fba6651b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: CodingAngel1 Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:15:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(backend): gracefully skip real-DB integration suite when Postgres is unreachable Closes #760 - Add backend/tests/integration/_db.ts helper that probes DATABASE_URL reachability with a 2s timeout and a try/finally connection release. - Make stream-lifecycle.test.ts self-skip via ctx.skip() + early return in beforeEach when DB probe fails, with an actionable skip log. - Lazy-load PrismaClient in beforeAll; protect helpers with getDb() runtime guard so ctx.skip() paths cannot dereference null. - Add test:unit, test:integration, test:integration:docker scripts. - Wire ci.yml backend job to run `npm test -- --coverage` so skip logic and coverage config stay aligned.

A `beforeAll` probe is + the only way to make the check sensitive to actual reachability, not + just env presence. +- **Why I left other integration files untouched:** + `indexer-worker.test.ts`, `streams.test.ts`, `stream-actions.test.ts`, + `events-list.test.ts`, `admin-metrics.test.ts`, and `top-up.test.ts` + mock Prisma/SSE — they do not need a real DB and were not the source of + the regression reported in #760. +- **CI behavior is preserved:** the postgres service in + `.github/workflows/ci.yml` still runs, `prisma db push` still happens, + and `DATABASE_URL` is still passed to the test step. The integration + suite will still execute against real Postgres in CI; this PR only + smooths the local-experience failure mode. +- **Test count for clarity:** `stream-lifecycle.test.ts` defines 12 + tests across 6 `describe` blocks (`stream_created`, + `stream_topped_up`, `stream_paused`, `stream_resumed`, + `stream_cancelled`, stale-DB fallback, and SSE broadcast).
