Run tests for the React codebase.
Arguments:
– $ARGUMENTS: Channel, flags, and test pattern
Usage Examples:
– `/test ReactFiberHooks` – Run with source channel (default)
– `/test experimental ReactFiberHooks` – Run with experimental channel
– `/test www ReactFiberHooks` – Run with www-modern channel
– `/test www variant false ReactFiberHooks` – Test __VARIANT__=false
– `/test stable ReactFiberHooks` – Run with stable channel
– `/test classic ReactFiberHooks` – Run with www-classic channel
– `/test watch ReactFiberHooks` – Run in watch mode (TDD)
Release Channels:
– `(default)` – Source/canary channel, uses ReactFeatureFlags.js defaults
– `experimental` – Source/experimental channel with __EXPERIMENTAL__ flags = true
– `www` – www-modern channel with __VARIANT__ flags = true
– `www variant false` – www channel with __VARIANT__ flags = false
– `stable` – What ships to npm
– `classic` – Legacy www-classic (rarely needed)
Instructions:
1. Parse channel from arguments (default: source)
2. Map to yarn command:
– (default) → `yarn test –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
– experimental → `yarn test -r=experimental –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
– stable → `yarn test-stable –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
– classic → `yarn test-classic –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
– www → `yarn test-www –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
– www variant false → `yarn test-www –variant=false –silent –no-watchman <pattern>`
3. Report test results and any failures
Hard Rules:
1. **Use –silent to see failures** – This limits the test output to only failures.
2. **Use –no-watchman** – This is a common failure in sandboxing.
Common Mistakes:
– **Running without a pattern** – Runs ALL tests, very slow. Always specify a pattern.
– **Forgetting both www variants** – Test `www` AND `www variant false` for `__VARIANT__` flags.
– **Test skipped unexpectedly** – Check for `@gate` pragma; see `feature-flags` skill.
