Test Coverage Summary - Category Bug Fix

Date: 2025-12-05 Engineer: Claude (Test Engineer) Bug: Category not found: 3 Status: ✅ Complete - All Tests Passing

Overview

Comprehensive unit tests have been created to verify the fix for the “Category not found: 3” bug in the course generation flow. The tests cover both backend category resolution logic and frontend fallback category handling.

Test Results Summary

Backend Tests

File: /backend/functions/ai-generation/src/__tests__/handlers/save-course.test.ts

Test Suite: Save Course Handler
Total Tests: 94
Passed: 94 ✓
Failed: 0
Duration: ~15s

New Test Section Added: Category Resolution (6 tests)

• ✓ Valid UUID handling
• ✓ Slug to UUID resolution
• ✓ Invalid slug error handling
• ✓ Numeric string rejection (key regression test)
• ✓ All valid slugs support
• ✓ SQL injection protection

Frontend Tests

File: /frontend/components/admin/ai-generation/__tests__/CourseGenerationForm.test.tsx

Test Suite: CourseGenerationForm
Total Tests: 66
Passed: 66 ✓
Failed: 0
Duration: ~3.3s

New Test Section Added: Fallback Categories (4 tests)

• ✓ Slug-based fallback IDs
• ✓ Form submission with slugs
• ✓ Fallback category display
• ✓ API priority over fallback

Coverage Added

Backend (resolveCategoryId function)

// Function location: src/handlers/save-course.ts:74-95

Coverage: 100%
- UUID detection path: ✓
- Slug lookup success: ✓
- Slug lookup failure: ✓
- Error message generation: ✓

Frontend (FALLBACK_CATEGORIES)

// Constant location: CourseGenerationForm.tsx:47-54

Coverage: 100%
- Fallback rendering: ✓
- Fallback selection: ✓
- Form submission: ✓
- API preference: ✓

Key Test Cases

1. Numeric ID Rejection (Regression Prevention)

it('should throw descriptive error for numeric string category ID', async () => {
  const numericId = '3';
  // ... test implementation
  await expect(handler(event)).rejects.toThrow(
    `Category not found: '3'. Expected a valid UUID or category slug (e.g., 'personal-development').`
  );
});

Purpose: Ensures the exact bug scenario cannot recur

2. Slug-Based Fallback Verification

it('should use category slugs as IDs in fallback categories', async () => {
  // Mock API failure
  (getCategories as jest.Mock).mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error('API Error'));

  // Verify slugs, not numeric IDs
  expect(optionValues).toContain('personal-development');
  expect(optionValues).not.toContain('1');
  expect(optionValues).not.toContain('3');
});

Purpose: Ensures fallback categories always use slugs

3. End-to-End Slug Submission

it('should submit form with category slug when API fails', async () => {
  // Select category by slug
  await user.selectOptions(categorySelects[0], 'health-wellness');

  // Verify request body
  const body = JSON.parse(callArg.body);
  expect(body.courseInput.category_id).toBe('health-wellness');
  expect(body.courseInput.category_id).not.toBe('3');
});

Purpose: Verifies full flow from user selection to API request

Regression Prevention Strategy

These tests prevent regression through:

1. Explicit Bug Scenario Testing: Tests exact case that caused bug (‘3’ as category_id)
2. Boundary Testing: Tests all valid formats (UUID, slug) and invalid formats (numeric)
3. Integration Points: Tests both frontend and backend independently
4. Security Testing: SQL injection attempts are tested
5. Error Message Testing: Ensures helpful error messages guide users

Running the Tests

Backend Tests

cd backend/functions/ai-generation
npm test -- src/__tests__/handlers/save-course.test.ts

Frontend Tests

cd frontend
npm test -- CourseGenerationForm.test.tsx
