Testing

GenDoc includes options for mock testing and a full end-to-end test suite.

Testing with Mock LLM

For faster development and testing without incurring API costs, you can enable a mock LLM mode. This mode bypasses actual API calls and returns dummy responses.

To enable it, set the MOCK_LLM environment variable to true before running any command.

• Linux/macOS: export MOCK_LLM=true
• Windows (CMD): set MOCK_LLM=true
• Windows (PowerShell): $env:MOCK_LLM="true"

End-to-End Testing

The project includes an E2E test suite in the e2e-tests directory.

How to Run the E2E Test

1. Start the GenDoc Server: In the project root, start the web server:

   # Make sure your .env file is configured
   npm run start:web

   Keep the server running in a separate terminal.

2. Install E2E Test Dependencies:

   cd e2e-tests
   npm install

3. Run the Test Script: While in the e2e-tests directory:

   npx ts-node test_workflow.ts
