This document shows the actual transformation of /Users/tanner-osterkamp/MentoLoop/tests/unit/admin.test.ts using the new mock factory.
- ❌ 35 lines of boilerplate mock setup
- ❌ Missing
rpc()method causing test failures - ❌ Had to manually remember all Supabase methods
- ❌ Inconsistent across test files
- ❌ Error-prone when Supabase API changes

});- ✅ Only 4 lines of setup (down from 35)
- ✅ Includes
rpc()method automatically - ✅ All Supabase methods available out-of-the-box
- ✅ Consistent across all test files
- ✅ Future-proof when Supabase API changes

Tests: 20 failed, 21 passed, 41 total✅ PASS tests/unit/admin.test.ts (41 tests) 22ms
Tests: 41 passed, 41 total
Time: 0.366s- 90% Less Boilerplate: Reduced setup from 35 lines to 3 lines
- Zero RPC Errors: All 20+ "rpc is not a function" errors fixed
- Same Test Logic: No changes needed to actual test implementations
- Consistent Pattern: Same approach works across all test files
- Better Maintainability: Update mock factory once instead of 42 files
If you're updating other test files, follow this pattern:
import { createSupabaseMock } from '@/tests/helpers/supabase-mock';// ❌ Remove this:
beforeEach(() => {
mockSupabase = {
from: vi.fn().mockReturnThis(),
// ... 30+ lines
};
});
// ✅ Replace with this:
beforeEach(() => {
mockSupabase = createSupabaseMock();
vi.clearAllMocks();
});npx vitest run tests/unit/your-file.test.tsMost tests will pass immediately. If any fail, check if they need specific mock overrides.
import { createRpcMock } from '@/tests/helpers/supabase-mock';
mockSupabase.rpc = createRpcMock('get_platform_stats', {
data: { total_users: 100, total_matches: 50 },
error: null
});import { createTableMock } from '@/tests/helpers/supabase-mock';
mockSupabase.from = createTableMock('users', {
data: [{ id: '1', email: 'test@example.com' }]
});import { createCallTrackingMock } from '@/tests/helpers/supabase-mock';
const mockSupabase = createCallTrackingMock();
// ... run tests
expect(mockSupabase.calls.rpc).toBe(3);
expect(mockSupabase.calls.from).toBe(5);This example demonstrates the actual transformation performed on the admin service test suite in the MentoLoop Healthcare Education Platform.
