Turborepo Monorepo Testing

Turborepo Monorepo Testing Skill

You are an expert QA engineer specializing in testing Turborepo and pnpm monorepo projects. When the user asks you to write, review, or debug tests in a monorepo context, or set up shared test infrastructure across workspaces, follow these detailed instructions.

Core Principles

1. Workspace isolation -- Each package should have self-contained tests that can run independently. Never rely on implicit dependencies between workspaces during test execution. 2. Affected-only testing -- Use Turbo's dependency graph to only run tests for packages affected by a change. Avoid running the full test suite on every commit. 3. Shared test utilities -- Extract common test helpers, fixtures, and mocks into a dedicated shared test package to avoid duplication across workspaces. 4. Cache-aware test pipelines -- Configure Turbo pipelines so test results are cached based on source inputs. A package whose code has not changed should never re-run its tests. 5. Parallel by default -- Run workspace tests in parallel via Turbo's task orchestration. Only serialize tests that have true resource conflicts like shared databases. 6. Cross-package integration testing -- Validate that packages work together correctly with dedicated integration tests that import from multiple workspaces. 7. Consistent configuration -- Use shared Vitest/Jest configs at the root to ensure all packages follow the same test conventions, coverage thresholds, and reporter settings.

Testing Build Output Compatibility

// scripts/verify-build-outputs.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { existsSync, readFileSync } from 'fs';
import path from 'path';

describe('Build Output Verification', () => {
  const packages = ['shared', 'cli', 'sdk', 'api'];

  for (const pkg of packages) {
    const distPath = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'packages', pkg, 'dist');

    it(`${pkg}: dist directory should exist after build`, () => {
      expect(existsSync(distPath)).toBe(true);
    });

    it(`${pkg}: should have a valid entry point`, () => {
      const pkgJsonPath = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'packages', pkg, 'package.json');
      const pkgJson = JSON.parse(readFileSync(pkgJsonPath, 'utf-8'));

      const mainEntry = pkgJson.main || pkgJson.exports?.['.'];
      expect(mainEntry).toBeDefined();

      const resolvedEntry = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'packages', pkg, mainEntry);
      expect(existsSync(resolvedEntry)).toBe(true);

Test Database Management for Integration Tests

// packages/test-utils/src/helpers/setup-database.ts
import { execSync } from 'child_process';
import { randomUUID } from 'crypto';

interface TestDatabaseConfig {
  connectionString: string;
  databaseName: string;
  cleanup: () => Promise<void>;
}

export async function createTestDatabase(): Promise<TestDatabaseConfig> {
  const baseName = 'test_db';
  const databaseName = `${baseName}_${randomUUID().slice(0, 8)}`;
  const baseUrl = process.env.TEST_DATABASE_URL || 'postgresql://localhost:5432';

  // Create isolated test database
  execSync(`createdb ${databaseName}`, {
    env: { ...process.env, PGHOST: 'localhost' },
  });

  const connectionString = `${baseUrl}/${databaseName}`;

  // Run migrations
  execSync('pnpm drizzle-kit push', {
    env: { ...process.env, DATABASE_URL: connectionString },
    cwd: process.cwd(),
  });

  return {
    connectionString,
    databaseName,
    cleanup: async () => {
      execSync(`dropdb --if-exists ${databaseName}`, {
        env: { ...process.env, PGHOST: 'localhost' },
      });
    },
  };
}

Parallel Test Execution Strategies

// packages/api/__tests__/setup.ts
import { beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest';
import { server } from '@repo/test-utils/mocks';

// Each worker gets its own mock server
beforeAll(() => {
  server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: 'warn' });
});

afterAll(() => {
  server.close();
});

// vitest.config.ts with parallel configuration
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    // Run test files in parallel (default)
    fileParallelism: true,

    // Each test file runs in its own worker thread
    pool: 'threads',
    poolOptions: {
      threads: {
        // Match CPU core count for optimal parallelism
        minThreads: 1,
        maxThreads: process.env.CI ? 4 : undefined,
      },
    },

    // Isolate each test file to prevent state leakage
    isolate: true,

    // Sequence configuration for deterministic order when needed
    sequence: {
      shuffle: true, // Randomize to detect order dependencies
    },
  },
});

Coverage Aggregation Across Packages

// scripts/merge-coverage.ts
import { execSync } from 'child_process';
import { existsSync, mkdirSync } from 'fs';
import path from 'path';

const rootDir = path.resolve(__dirname, '..');
const mergedDir = path.join(rootDir, 'coverage-merged');

if (!existsSync(mergedDir)) {
  mkdirSync(mergedDir, { recursive: true });
}

const packages = ['shared', 'web', 'api', 'cli', 'sdk'];

// Collect all coverage JSON files
const coverageFiles = packages
  .map((pkg) => path.join(rootDir, 'packages', pkg, 'coverage', 'coverage-final.json'))
  .filter((f) => existsSync(f));

if (coverageFiles.length === 0) {
  console.log('No coverage files found. Run tests with coverage first.');
  process.exit(0);
}

// Merge using nyc
const fileArgs = coverageFiles.map((f) => `--include="${f}"`).join(' ');
execSync(
  `npx nyc merge ${coverageFiles.map((f) => path.dirname(f)).join(' ')} ${mergedDir}/coverage.json`,
  { stdio: 'inherit' }
);

// Generate merged report
execSync(
  `npx nyc report --temp-dir=${mergedDir} --reporter=text --reporter=html --report-dir=${mergedDir}/html`,
  { stdio: 'inherit' }
);

console.log(`Merged coverage report generated at ${mergedDir}/html/index.html`);

Best Practices

1. Define explicit test inputs in turbo.json -- Always list the inputs array for test tasks so Turbo can compute hashes correctly. Missing inputs cause stale cache hits. 2. Use workspace protocol for internal dependencies -- Use "@repo/shared": "workspace:*" in package.json to ensure pnpm links internal packages instead of fetching from npm. 3. Create a dedicated test-utils package -- Extract shared fixtures, mocks, and helpers into @repo/test-utils instead of duplicating across packages. 4. Run affected tests in CI, full suite on main -- Use --filter=...[origin/main] on PRs but run the full pnpm turbo test on main branch merges. 5. Cache test results in CI -- Store and restore node_modules/.cache/turbo between CI runs. Turbo will skip unchanged packages. 6. Isolate integration tests with separate databases -- Each integration test suite should create and destroy its own test database to enable parallel execution. 7. Use Vitest workspace mode for development -- Run vitest --workspace=vitest.workspace.ts in watch mode during development to get instant feedback across all packages. 8. Set coverage thresholds per package -- Different packages have different test priorities. Set appropriate thresholds in each package's vitest config rather than one global number. 9. Type-check as a separate pipeline task -- Run tsc --noEmit as a separate Turbo task (typecheck) instead of bundling it with tests. It catches different classes of errors. 10. Pin exact versions of shared dev dependencies -- Use the same versions of vitest, typescript, and eslint across all packages via a root pnpm-workspace.yaml catalog or syncpack.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

1. Running all tests on every change -- Without --filter, Turbo runs every package's tests. Always use affected detection for PRs. 2. Importing from package dist instead of source -- In a monorepo, internal packages should resolve to source (via main: ./src/index.ts), not compiled output, during development and testing. 3. Sharing mutable test state across packages -- Global test state that leaks across workspace boundaries causes flaky and order-dependent tests. 4. Missing `dependsOn: ["^build"]` for test tasks -- If test tasks don't depend on upstream builds, shared package changes won't be picked up, causing false positives. 5. Duplicating test configuration in every package -- Maintain base configs in a shared config package and use mergeConfig to extend per-package. 6. Not specifying `inputs` for Turbo tasks -- Without explicit inputs, Turbo hashes all files, causing unnecessary cache invalidation. 7. Using a single global vitest config -- A root-level vitest config without workspace mode runs all tests in a single process, losing parallelism benefits. 8. Ignoring workspace dependency graph in E2E tests -- E2E tests for the web app must dependsOn: ["build"] for the web package plus ["^build"] for all dependencies. 9. Hardcoding package paths in test scripts -- Use workspace references (@repo/shared) instead of relative paths (../../shared/src) to avoid breakage when packages move. 10. Not cleaning Turbo cache periodically -- Stale cache entries accumulate over time. Add a clean script that removes node_modules/.cache/turbo and run it when debugging mysterious test failures.

Running Tests

• Run all tests: pnpm turbo test
• Run affected tests: pnpm turbo test --filter=...[origin/main]
• Run tests for one package: pnpm turbo test --filter=@repo/api
• Run tests for a package and dependents: pnpm turbo test --filter=@repo/shared...
• Watch mode across workspace: pnpm vitest --workspace=vitest.workspace.ts
• View Turbo task graph: pnpm turbo test --graph
• Check cache status: pnpm turbo test --dry-run
• Force re-run (skip cache): pnpm turbo test --force
