description: Runs project tests intelligently. Identifies affected tests from changes and runs them first, then full suite.

Run Tests

Run tests efficiently with tiered approach: affected tests first, then full suite.

Phase 1: Detect Test Framework

Identify testing setup:

# Node.js
cat package.json | grep -E '"(jest|vitest|mocha|ava|tap)"'

# Python
ls pytest.ini pyproject.toml setup.cfg 2>/dev/null | head -1

# Go
ls *_test.go 2>/dev/null | head -1

# Rust
ls Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null

Phase 2: Identify Affected Tests

Based on git diff, find related tests:

# Get changed files
git diff --name-only HEAD~1

# Find corresponding test files
# Convention: foo.ts -> foo.test.ts or foo.spec.ts

Phase 3: Run Tests (Tiered Approach)

Tier 1: Affected Tests Only (Fast)

# Node.js with Jest/Vitest
npm test -- --findRelatedTests [changed files]
npx vitest run --changed

# Python with pytest
pytest [specific test files] -x --tb=short

# Go
go test -run [TestName] ./...

Tier 2: Full Unit Test Suite

If Tier 1 passes:

npm test
pytest tests/unit/
go test ./...
cargo test

Tier 3: Integration Tests

If Tier 2 passes:

npm run test:integration
pytest tests/integration/
go test -tags=integration ./...

Phase 4: Analyze Failures

For each failure:

1. Parse error message 2. Identify failing assertion 3. Trace to source code 4. Suggest fix

Output Format

## Test Results: [PASS/FAIL]

### Summary
- Total: X tests
- Passed: Y
- Failed: Z
- Skipped: W
- Duration: [time]

### Failed Tests
1. **test_name** - `file:line`
   - Expected: [value]
   - Actual: [value]
   - Likely cause: [analysis]
   - Suggested fix: [fix]

### Flaky Test Detection
- [Any tests that passed on retry]

### Coverage (if available)
- Lines: X%
- Branches: Y%
- Functions: Z%

### Recommendation
[SAFE TO COMMIT / FIX REQUIRED / INVESTIGATE FLAKY]

Continue Until Green

If tests fail:

1. Report the failure clearly 2. Attempt to fix the failing code (not just the test) 3. Re-run tests 4. Repeat until green or max 3 attempts

Usage

This command ships with the project-starter plugin. Invoke with: `/project-starter:run-tests`
