Park Search Tests

Overview

Test suite for the park search functionality including:

• Autocomplete widget integration
• Search form validation
• Filter integration
• HTMX interaction
• View mode persistence

Running Tests

# Run all park tests
uv run pytest parks/tests/

# Run specific search tests
uv run pytest parks/tests/test_search.py

# Run with coverage
uv run pytest --cov=parks parks/tests/

Test Coverage

Search API Tests

• test_search_json_format: Validates API response structure
• test_empty_search_json: Tests empty search handling
• test_search_format_validation: Verifies all required fields and types
• test_suggestion_limit: Confirms 8-item result limit

Search Functionality Tests

• test_autocomplete_results: Validates real-time suggestion filtering
• test_search_with_filters: Tests filter integration with search
• test_partial_match_search: Verifies partial text matching works

UI Integration Tests

• test_view_mode_persistence: Ensures view mode is maintained
• test_empty_search: Tests default state behavior
• test_htmx_request_handling: Validates HTMX interactions

Data Format Tests

• Field types validation
• Location formatting
• Status display formatting
• URL generation
• Response structure

Frontend Integration

• HTMX partial updates
• Alpine.js state management
• Loading indicators
• View mode persistence
• Keyboard navigation

Test Commands

# Run all park tests
uv run pytest parks/tests/

# Run search tests specifically
uv run pytest parks/tests/test_search.py

# Run with coverage
uv run pytest --cov=parks parks/tests/

Coverage Areas

1. Search Functionality:

   • Suggestion generation
   • Result filtering
   • Partial matching
   • Empty state handling

2. UI Integration:

   • HTMX requests
   • View mode switching
   • Loading states
   • Error handling

3. Performance:

   • Result limiting
   • Debouncing
   • Query optimization

4. Accessibility:

   • ARIA attributes
   • Keyboard controls
   • Screen reader support

Configuration

Tests use pytest-django and require:

• PostgreSQL database
• HTMX middleware
• Autocomplete app configuration

Fixtures

The test suite uses standard Django test fixtures. No additional fixtures required.

Common Issues

1. Database Errors

   • Ensure PostGIS extensions are installed
   • Verify database permissions

2. HTMX Tests

   • Use HTTP_HX_REQUEST header for HTMX requests
   • Check response content for HTMX attributes

Adding New Tests

When adding tests, ensure:

1. Database isolation using @pytest.mark.django_db
2. Proper test naming following test_* convention
3. Clear test descriptions in docstrings
4. Coverage for both success and failure cases
5. HTMX interaction testing where applicable

Future Improvements

• Add performance benchmarks
• Include accessibility tests
• Add Playwright e2e tests
• Implement geographic search tests
