- Fix and create Svelte 5 tests with vitest-browser-svelte and Playwright. Use when fixing broken tests, debugging failures, writing unit/SSR/e2e tests, or working with vitest/Playwright.
Svelte Testing
Quick Start
// Client-side component test (.svelte.test.ts)
import { render } from 'vitest-browser-svelte';
import { expect } from 'vitest';
import Button from './button.svelte';
test('button click increments counter', async () => {
const { page } = render(Button);
const button = page.getByRole('button', { name: /click me/i });
await button.click();
await expect.element(button).toHaveTextContent('Clicked: 1');
});Core Principles
- Always use locators:
page.getBy*()methods, never containers - Multiple elements: Use
.first(),.nth(),.last()to avoid
strict mode violations
- Use untrack(): When accessing
$derivedvalues in tests - Real API objects: Test with FormData/Request, minimal mocking

Notes
- Never click SvelteKit form submit buttons - Always use
await expect.element()
- Test files:
.svelte.test.ts(client),.ssr.test.ts(SSR),
server.test.ts (API)
<!-- PROGRESSIVE DISCLOSURE GUIDELINES:
- Keep this file ~50 lines total (max ~150 lines)
- Use 1-2 code blocks only (recommend 1)
- Keep description <200 chars for Level 1 efficiency
- Move detailed docs to references/ for Level 3 loading
- This is Level 2 - quick reference ONLY, not a manual
