ln-782-test-runner

Type: L3 Worker Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap

Purpose

Detects test frameworks, executes all test suites, and reports results including pass/fail counts and optional coverage.

Scope:

• Auto-detect test frameworks from project configuration
• Execute test suites for all detected frameworks
• Parse test output for pass/fail counts
• Generate coverage reports when enabled

Out of Scope:

• Building projects (handled by ln-781)
• Container operations (handled by ln-783)
• Writing or fixing tests

When to Use

Scenario	Use This Skill
Standalone-capable	Yes
Standalone test execution	Yes
CI/CD pipeline test step	Yes
Build verification needed	No, use ln-781

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Test Frameworks

Identify test frameworks from project configuration files.

Marker	Test Framework	Project Type
vitest.config.*	Vitest	Node.js
jest.config.*	Jest	Node.js
*.test.ts in package.json	Vitest/Jest	Node.js
xunit / nunit in *.csproj	xUnit/NUnit	.NET
pytest.ini / conftest.py	pytest	Python
*_test.go files	go test	Go
tests/ with Cargo.toml	cargo test	Rust

Step 2: Execute Test Suites

Run tests for each detected framework.

Framework	Execution Strategy
Vitest	Run in single-run mode with JSON reporter
Jest	Run with JSON output
xUnit/NUnit	Run with logger for structured output
pytest	Run with JSON plugin or verbose output
go test	Run with JSON output flag
cargo test	Run with standard output parsing

Step 3: Parse Results

Extract test results from framework output.

Metric	Description
total	Total number of tests discovered
passed	Tests that completed successfully
failed	Tests that failed assertions
skipped	Tests marked as skip/ignore
duration	Total execution time

Step 4: Generate Coverage (Optional)

When coverage enabled, collect coverage metrics.

Framework	Coverage Tool
Vitest/Jest	c8 / istanbul
.NET	coverlet
pytest	pytest-cov
Go	go test -cover
Rust	cargo-tarpaulin

Coverage Metrics:

Metric	Description
linesCovered	Lines executed during tests
linesTotal	Total lines in codebase
percentage	Coverage percentage

Step 5: Report Results

Return structured results to orchestrator.

Result Structure:

Field	Description
suiteName	Test suite identifier
framework	Detected test framework
status	passed / failed / error
total	Total test count
passed	Passed test count
failed	Failed test count
skipped	Skipped test count
duration	Execution time in seconds
failures	Array of failure details (test name, message)
coverage	Coverage metrics (if enabled)

---

Error Handling

Error Type	Action
No tests found	Report warning, status = passed (0 tests)
Test timeout	Report timeout, include partial results
Framework error	Log error, report as error status
Missing dependencies	Report missing test dependencies

---

Options

Option	Default	Description
skipTests	false	Skip execution if no tests found
allowFailures	false	Report success even if tests fail
coverage	false	Generate coverage report
timeout	300	Max execution time in seconds
parallel	true	Run test suites in parallel when possible

---

Critical Rules

1. Run all detected test suites - do not skip suites silently
2. Parse actual results - do not rely only on exit code
3. Include failure details - provide actionable information for debugging
4. Respect timeout - prevent hanging on infinite loops

Monitor Integration (Claude Code 2.1.98+)

MANDATORY READ: Load references/monitor_integration_pattern.md

For test suites expected to run >30 seconds, use Monitor to stream failures in real-time:

Pattern	Command	timeout_ms
Stream failures	{test_command} 2>&1 | grep --line-buffered -E 'FAIL|Error|✗|AssertionError'	timeout * 1000 (from Options)
Full output	{test_command} 2>&1	timeout * 1000

React to first failure immediately while remaining tests continue running.

Fallback: if Monitor is unavailable (Bedrock/Vertex), use Bash(run_in_background=true).

Definition of Done

• [ ] All test frameworks detected
• [ ] All test suites executed
• [ ] Results parsed and structured
• [ ] Coverage collected (if enabled)
• [ ] Results returned to orchestrator
