Frontend Automation Testing Roadmap

This roadmap tracks the planned rollout of automated testing for the ComfyUI LoRA Manager frontend. Each phase builds on the infrastructure introduced in this change set and records progress so future contributors can quickly identify the next tasks.

Phase Overview

Phase	Goal	Primary Focus	Status	Notes
Phase 0	Establish baseline tooling	Add Node test runner, jsdom environment, and seed smoke tests	✅ Complete	Vitest + jsdom configured, example state tests committed
Phase 1	Cover state management logic	Unit test selectors, derived data helpers, and storage utilities under static/js/state and static/js/utils	✅ Complete	Storage helpers and state selectors now exercised via deterministic suites
Phase 2	Test AppCore orchestration	Simulate page bootstrapping, infinite scroll hooks, and manager registration using JSDOM DOM fixtures	🟡 In Progress	AppCore initialization specs landed; expand to additional page wiring and scroll hooks
Phase 3	Validate page-specific managers	Add focused suites for loras, checkpoints, embeddings, and recipes managers covering filtering, sorting, and bulk actions	⚪ Not Started	Consider shared helpers for mocking API modules and storage
Phase 4	Interaction-level regression tests	Exercise template fragments, modals, and menus to ensure UI wiring remains intact	⚪ Not Started	Evaluate Playwright component testing or happy-path DOM snapshots
Phase 5	Continuous integration & coverage	Integrate frontend tests into CI workflow and track coverage metrics	⚪ Not Started	Align reporting directories with backend coverage for unified reporting

Next Steps Checklist

• Expand unit tests for storageHelpers covering migrations and namespace behavior.
• Document DOM fixture strategy for reproducing template structures in tests.
• Prototype AppCore initialization test that verifies manager bootstrapping with stubbed dependencies.
• Evaluate integrating coverage reporting once test surface grows (> 20 specs).

Maintaining this roadmap alongside code changes will make it easier to append new automated test tasks and update their progress.
