New .shortest.ts

[slavingia]

A new testing format that allows testing web apps end-to-end really quickly and efficiently.

Goals:

• Test code is short and readable
• Supports browser, email (can check via shortest-resend package), db changes (can check via bash script)

Specifics:

• All tests are end-to-end, all starting at / unless mentioned elsewhere

Example test:

// app/shortest.ts import { page } from 'page.tsx';

test("A user can sign up to flexile and send an invoice", async (page) => { await shortest.db.changed( SELECT * FROM users AND created_at > NOW() - interval '5 minutes' LIMIT 1 );

await shortest.email_received({ to: 'client@example.com', subject: 'New Invoice', contains: '$100.00' }); });

Ideas:

• Errors shown are logged as part of the test, and any console.errors() fail the test
• Shortest runs computer use on routes with above, repeating motions until the test passes
• Report on DB changes in natural language too and check back if those are successful

Alright then, I am working on one more PR that will complete this feature by having AI deciding when to run the assertion. For example, run the assertion after user signed up and validate a new record has been created in db. I will record a demo afterwards.

Ah interesting!
