Test Environment Setup

Skill Purpose: Configure and maintain reliable test environments, including databases, services, and environment variables for unit, integration, and E2E testing.

Core Skill Pattern

Objective: Provide repeatable test environment setup that mirrors production-critical behavior without risking production data.

Universal Pattern:

Define environment tiers (local, CI, staging)
Provision dependencies (DB, queues, storage, auth)
Configure environment variables and secrets
Prepare test data and fixtures
Validate readiness with smoke checks

Key Decisions (Project-Specific):

Use containers vs shared staging services
Test database strategy (ephemeral vs persistent)
Secrets management in CI
Data reset strategy between runs

Project-Specific Implementation Notes

Customize per project:

Use separate test Supabase project or schema
Use dedicated test users and API keys
Keep .env.test isolated from .env
Seed minimal deterministic data for tests

Example Implementation (Next.js + Supabase)

Note: Example only. Adapt to your actual stack and deployment model.

Environment Layout

.env.test
.env.ci

Example .env.test

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://test-project.supabase.co
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=REDACTED
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=REDACTED
TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:54322/postgres

Readiness Check (Pseudo)

1) Run migrations against TEST_DATABASE_URL
2) Seed base fixtures
3) Verify auth works with test users
4) Run a minimal smoke test suite

Best Practices

Use disposable test data and reset between runs
Keep test envs isolated from production
Store secrets in CI secret manager only
Mirror production config for critical paths
Validate readiness before full test runs

Stop Conditions

STOP and escalate if:

Test environment touches production data
Required secrets are unavailable
Test services are not isolated
Data reset strategy is unclear
