# Test Backend Unit
## Overview
Executes the Go backend unit test suite without coverage analysis. This skill provides fast test execution for quick feedback during development, making it ideal for pre-commit checks and rapid iteration.
Unlike test-backend-coverage, this skill does not generate coverage reports or enforce coverage thresholds, focusing purely on test pass/fail status.
## Prerequisites
- Go 1.23 or higher installed and in PATH
- Backend dependencies installed (`cd backend && go mod download`)
- Sufficient disk space for test artifacts
## Usage
### Basic Usage
Run all backend unit tests:
```bash
cd /path/to/charon
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit
```
### Test Specific Package
Test only a specific package or module:
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- ./internal/handlers/...
```
### Verbose Output
Enable verbose test output for debugging:
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- -v
```
### CI/CD Integration
For use in GitHub Actions or other CI/CD pipelines:
```yaml
- name: Run Backend Unit Tests
run: .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| verbose | boolean | No | false | Enable verbose test output (-v flag) |
| package | string | No | ./... | Package pattern to test |
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY | No | auto-generated for test run | Backend test encryption key. If missing/invalid, an ephemeral 32-byte base64 key is generated for the run. |
## Outputs
### Success Exit Code
- **0**: All tests passed
### Error Exit Codes
- **Non-zero**: One or more tests failed
### Console Output
Example output:
```
ok github.com/Wikid82/charon/backend/internal/handlers 0.523s
ok github.com/Wikid82/charon/backend/internal/models 0.189s
ok github.com/Wikid82/charon/backend/internal/services 0.742s
```
## Examples
### Example 1: Basic Execution
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit
```
### Example 2: Test Specific Package
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- ./internal/handlers
```
### Example 3: Verbose Output
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- -v
```
### Example 4: Run with Race Detection
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- -race
```
### Example 5: Short Mode (Skip Long Tests)
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-unit -- -short
```
## Error Handling
### Common Errors
#### Error: package not found
**Solution**: Verify package path is correct; run `go list ./...` to see available packages
#### Error: build failed
**Solution**: Fix compilation errors; run `go build ./...` to identify issues
#### Error: test timeout
**Solution**: Increase timeout with `-timeout` flag or fix hanging tests
## Related Skills
- test-backend-coverage - Run tests with coverage analysis (slower)
- build-check-go - Verify Go builds without running tests
- security-check-govulncheck - Go vulnerability scanning
## Notes
- **Execution Time**: Fast execution (~5-10 seconds typical)
- **No Coverage**: Does not generate coverage reports
- **Race Detection**: Not enabled by default (unlike test-backend-coverage)
- **Idempotency**: Safe to run multiple times
- **Caching**: Benefits from Go test cache for unchanged packages
- **Suitable For**: Pre-commit hooks, quick feedback, TDD workflows
