SSB Testing Guide

This can be found on git-ssb ssb://%0h4DOgNbTfEufWGKW8RbbhCXa76U0AglQSbn/cD4Pjc=.sha256

This is the start of a collection of patterns we've found useful for doing testing in the Scuttlebutt ecosystem

Areas it will hopefully cover (over time):

• ☐ message schemas/ validations
• ☑ writing and reading from the database:
  • ☑ callback style
  • ☑ streaming style
• ☐ flume indexes
• ☐ UI components
• ...

Tools it these will help you get familiar with:

• tape - basic assertion tests
• pull-streams
• database queries
  • querying your own flumeview-level index
  • ssb-backlinks
  • ssb-query
• hyperscript / mutant
• electro - rendering simple UI components (TODO - compare with e.g. budo)
• ...
