The existing 380-test backend suite runs entirely against the in-memory
datastore provider, which treats every partition-key value as equivalent.
This hid one entire class of bug — partition-key mismatches — until
production. D7 closes that gap.
Implementation:
- backend/src/test-helpers.ts adds useCosmosDatastore() that swaps the
active provider for CosmosDatastoreProvider using COSMOS_ENDPOINT /
COSMOS_KEY / COSMOS_DATABASE. Throws synchronously when env is missing
so a misconfigured run fails loudly instead of silently falling back
to in-memory.
- backend/vitest.config.ts now excludes src/**/*.cosmos.test.ts so the
default 'pnpm test' run stays green for contributors without Docker.
- backend/vitest.cosmos.config.ts (new) includes ONLY *.cosmos.test.ts,
bumps testTimeout to 30s / hookTimeout to 60s for the real client
round-trips, and locks DB_PROVIDER=cosmos in test env.
- backend/src/cosmos.smoke.cosmos.test.ts (new) covers the four most
important partition-key contracts in NoteLett:
workspaces /userId
notes /workspaceId
note_tasks /workspaceId
note_shares /workspaceId (full create → resolve → delete → null)
Each test also asserts that a wrong-partition-key lookup returns null,
which is the failure mode the in-memory provider cannot simulate.
- backend/package.json adds 'test:cosmos' script.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml gains a backend-cosmos job that boots the
official mcr.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/linux/azure-cosmos-emulator
container as a service, waits for it to be ready (60 × 5s polls of
/_explorer/emulator.pem), then runs pnpm test:cosmos against it.
The job depends on the existing backend job so the emulator only
spins up after unit tests pass.
Verified locally:
- pnpm --filter @notelett/backend test: 380/380 (cosmos suite excluded)
- vitest list --config vitest.cosmos.config.ts: 4 tests under the cosmos
smoke suite, as designed
- pnpm run verify: end-to-end green (backend 380/380, web 96/96,
mobile 97/97)
- ci.yml passes Python yaml.safe_load
CI verification: the new job will execute on the next push. Local
verification against the emulator requires Docker on the dev host.
