Goal

Move /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2 off Jest and Mocha as far as possible.

Default target:

• bun test

Fallback target:

• vitest only for lanes Bun cannot carry honestly

Unchanged:

• Playwright browser integration tests

Reference Rules

• Use Plate as the primary model.
• Test files should not import from bun:test.
• Use Bun globals from setup/types, like Plate.
• Do not suppress or delete tests.
• Preserve intentionally skipped fixture tests as skipped, not fake-passed.
• If Vitest is needed, copy the Better Convex project/setup pattern: explicit projects, explicit environment, explicit setup file.

Current State

Root

Current root test graph:

• test: test:bun && test:vitest
• test:vitest: root Vitest call for slate-react
• Playwright remains under playwright

Package Test Lanes

packages/slate

Current runner:

• Bun only

Shape:

• packages/slate/test/index.spec.ts owns the full fixture corpus
• packages/slate/test/index.js is now a pure helper export for legacy fixture imports
• packages/slate/test/support/with-test.js
• roughly 1000 fixture files
• mostly .tsx hyperscript fixtures
• direct node:assert/strict
• keeps utils/string.ts as the other direct Bun test file
• several intentional export const skip = true fixtures
• scoped preload transform still needed for legacy TSX fixture modules under packages/slate*
• migrated Bun fixtures use stock slate-hyperscript JSX instead of a local test-utils wrapper
• ordinary legacy fixture files stay bare TSX; the preload injects the stock slate-hyperscript factory import

Target:

• Bun

packages/slate-history

Current runner:

• Bun only

Shape:

• packages/slate-history/test/index.spec.ts owns the full fixture corpus
• packages/slate-history/test/index.js is now a pure helper export for legacy fixture imports
• .js and .tsx fixtures
• node:assert/strict
• one intentional skipped fixture
• uses the shared root legacy JSX preload

Target:

• done

packages/slate-hyperscript

Current runner:

• Bun through the root bunfig.toml

Shape:

• first-class Bun spec at /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/packages/slate-hyperscript/test/index.spec.ts
• tiny local helper at /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/packages/slate-hyperscript/test/jsx.ts
• scoped preload transform still needed for this package's JSX path

Target:

• done

packages/slate-dom

Current runner:

• tsx --test test/**/*.ts

Current repo has no active packages/slate-dom/test/** lane.

Target:

• Bun when DOM tests exist

packages/slate-react

Current runner:

• Bun + Vitest + jsdom

Shape:

• Bun keeps test/bun/**
• Vitest owns the remaining test/*.vitest.{ts,tsx} lane
• React Testing Library
• jest-dom matchers
• Jest-style fn/spyOn compatibility through runner setup
• source mapping for workspace packages
• DOM selection/focus behavior
• react-editor.vitest.tsx needed jsdom 20.0.3; Bun + Happy DOM and Vitest + Happy DOM were not lossless on that focus row

Target:

• done with Vitest fallback for the DOM-fidelity lane

Migration Design

Shared Bun Test Setup

Add:

• config/bun-test-setup.ts
• config/bun-test-globals.d.ts

Setup responsibilities:

• register Happy DOM globals only for DOM-capable tests
• extend Bun expect with Testing Library matchers
• expose Jest-compatible globals:
  • globalThis.jest.fn
  • globalThis.jest.spyOn
  • optionally globalThis.jest.restoreAllMocks
• expose direct globals if useful:
  • mock
  • spyOn
• call Testing Library cleanup() after each test

Why:

• Plate imports from bun:test only in setup, not in every test file.
• Slate tests should keep using describe, it, test, and expect without importing runner APIs.

Do not:

• add import { test } from 'bun:test' across test files
• rewrite assertions for sport
• suppress failing tests

Fixture Harness Rewrite

Replace or adapt:

• support/fixtures.js

Bun-compatible requirements:

1. Discover fixture files synchronously.
2. Preserve nested describe(...) grouping.
3. Use Bun global it.
4. Load .ts / .tsx / .js fixture modules through dynamic import(...).
5. Preserve intentional skips.

Skip handling:

• pre-read fixture source text
• if it contains an explicit export const skip = true, register it.skip(...)
• otherwise register a normal async it(...)

Reason:

• Mocha used this.skip() after require(...).
• Bun should not fake a skipped fixture as a passing test.

Fixture import:

• use pathToFileURL(p).href
• dynamic import fixture modules
• keep existing fixture module exports:
  • input
  • run
  • test
  • output
  • operations

Hyperscript JSX:

• keep the existing /** @jsx jsx */ + jsx value pattern
• verify Bun handles the TSX pragma before broad conversion

Package Scripts

Target scripts:

Root:

{
  "test": "bun test",
  "test:bun": "bun test",
  "test:integration": "playwright install --with-deps && run-p -r serve playwright",
  "test:integration-local": "playwright install && run-p -r serve playwright"
}

Package scripts:

{
  "test": "bun test"
}

Potential root split if needed:

{
  "test": "pnpm test:bun && pnpm test:vitest",
  "test:bun": "bun test",
  "test:vitest": "vitest run"
}

Use the split only if a real Vitest lane survives.

Type Setup

Update test tsconfigs to include Bun globals:

• root or package-level types should include Bun test globals
• keep @testing-library/jest-dom types for React tests
• remove @types/jest and @types/mocha after the files no longer reference those type packages

Expected final removals:

• jest
• jest-environment-jsdom
• ts-jest
• babel-jest
• mocha
• @types/jest
• @types/mocha

Keep only if still used elsewhere:

• @babel/register
• Babel presets/plugins used by non-test tooling

Phase Plan

Phase 1: Bun Smoke Harness

Goal:

• prove Bun can execute one representative fixture family without Mocha.

Tasks:

1. Add Bun setup/types.
2. Rewrite support/fixtures.js to dynamic-import fixture modules.
3. Temporarily point only one package script to Bun.
4. Run:
   • one plain .ts utility test
   • one .tsx hyperscript fixture
   • one skipped fixture

Recommended first checks:

bun test packages/slate/test/utils/string.ts
bun test packages/slate/test/index.js --test-name-pattern above

Acceptance:

• normal fixture passes
• skipped fixture reports skipped
• no fixture import needs runner imports

Phase 2: Move slate, slate-history, slate-hyperscript To Bun

Goal:

• remove Mocha and scripts/run-from-root.mjs from core/support package tests.

Tasks:

1. Update package test scripts:
   • packages/slate/package.json
   • packages/slate-history/package.json
   • packages/slate-hyperscript/package.json
2. Update root test:mocha to test:bun:packages or delete it.
3. Run full fixture packages through Bun.
4. Remove Mocha dependencies when green.

Acceptance:

pnpm --filter slate test
pnpm --filter slate-history test
pnpm --filter slate-hyperscript test

All pass with Bun.

No test count may be silently reduced.

Phase 3: Move slate-dom To Bun

Goal:

• standardize slate-dom on Bun even though it currently has little/no local test surface.

Tasks:

1. Change packages/slate-dom/package.json test script to bun test.
2. If there are no tests, decide whether package-local test should:
   • be omitted, or
   • run bun test test only after tests exist

Recommendation:

• omit package-local test until slate-dom/test/** exists
• root test should not fail because a package has no tests

Phase 4: Attempt slate-react On Bun

Goal:

• remove Jest if Bun can handle the React DOM tests faithfully.

Tasks:

1. Replace Jest config with Bun setup.
2. Map workspace package imports to source the same way Jest currently does. Options:
   • package imports / aliases if Bun supports enough locally
   • tsconfig paths for Bun-compatible resolution
   • minimal source import adjustment only if needed
3. Shim jest.fn() globally to Bun mock.
4. Keep @testing-library/jest-dom matchers through setup.
5. Run each current React test file under Bun.

Acceptance:

bun test packages/slate-react/test

All seven existing suites pass:

• chunking.spec.ts
• decorations.spec.tsx
• editable.spec.tsx
• react-editor.spec.tsx
• use-selected.spec.tsx
• use-slate-selector.spec.tsx
• use-slate.spec.tsx

No suppressions:

• do not drop coverage assertions unless Bun coverage replaces them
• do not skip focus/selection tests
• do not weaken DOM assertions

Phase 5: Vitest Fallback For slate-react Only If Needed

Use Vitest only if Bun has a real blocker, such as:

• missing DOM selection behavior that cannot be safely polyfilled
• React Testing Library behavior diverges under Bun in a way that invalidates the test
• Bun cannot support the coverage threshold without unacceptable tooling hacks

Vitest setup shape, copied from Better Convex:

• vitest.config.mts
• project named slate-react
• environment: 'happy-dom'
• setupFiles: ['./config/vitest.setup.ts']
• globals: true
• aliases:
  • slate -> packages/slate/src/index.ts
  • slate-dom -> packages/slate-dom/src/index.ts
  • slate-history -> packages/slate-history/src/index.ts
  • slate-hyperscript -> packages/slate-hyperscript/src/index.ts
  • slate-react -> packages/slate-react/src/index.ts

Setup responsibilities:

• expect.extend(matchers)
• afterEach(cleanup)
• globalThis.jest = { fn: vi.fn, spyOn: vi.spyOn }

Vitest file naming:

• either keep existing *.spec.tsx and include only packages/slate-react/test
• or rename only if it makes the project split clearer

Do not migrate other packages to Vitest.

Phase 6: Root Test Graph Cleanup

Goal:

• remove Jest/Mocha plumbing from root.

Tasks:

1. Delete jest.config.js if no Vitest fallback is needed.
2. Delete scripts/run-from-root.mjs once no package script uses it.
3. Remove dependencies:
   • jest
   • jest-environment-jsdom
   • ts-jest
   • babel-jest
   • mocha
   • @types/jest
   • @types/mocha
4. Keep @testing-library/* only if React tests still use them.
5. Update root scripts.
6. Update docs/ledger/PR description.

Acceptance:

rg -n "jest|mocha|run-from-root|ts-jest|babel-jest" /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2 \
  -g '!node_modules' -g '!pnpm-lock.yaml' -g '!docs/**'

Expected after full Bun migration:

• no live matches except possibly comments in changelog/history docs

Expected if Vitest fallback remains:

• no Jest/Mocha matches
• Vitest matches only in config/package scripts

Verification Matrix

Run after each phase:

pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test

Run after final phase:

pnpm build
pnpm test:integration-local

For React test migration:

pnpm --filter slate-react test

For fixture migration:

pnpm --filter slate test
pnpm --filter slate-history test
pnpm --filter slate-hyperscript test

Risk Register

Risk: Bun does not honor fixture JSX pragma

Impact:

• Slate hyperscript fixtures fail.

Response:

• fix harness/transpilation once
• do not rewrite every fixture unless the harness route fails

Risk: skipped fixture semantics get lost

Impact:

• skipped known failures become fake passing tests.

Response:

• pre-detect export const skip = true
• register it.skip(...)

Risk: React tests rely on Jest-specific mock APIs

Impact:

• tests fail on jest.fn().

Response:

• global Jest-compatible shim in setup
• do not edit every test to import Bun APIs

Risk: Happy DOM differs from jsdom on selection/focus

Impact:

• slate-react DOM tests may become unreliable.

Response:

• add narrowly justified polyfills if they reflect browser behavior
• otherwise move only slate-react to Vitest/happy-dom

Risk: coverage threshold parity

Impact:

• Jest coverage gate disappears.

Response:

• if Bun coverage can express the same threshold, use it
• otherwise use Vitest for slate-react coverage rather than dropping the gate

Recommended Final State

Best case:

• all package unit/fixture tests run on Bun
• Playwright stays Playwright
• no Jest
• no Mocha
• no Vitest

Likely pragmatic state:

• slate, slate-history, slate-hyperscript, slate-dom: Bun
• slate-react: Bun if Happy DOM is good enough; Vitest if DOM/coverage parity blocks
• Playwright unchanged

Do not keep Jest.

Do not keep Mocha.

Do not keep scripts/run-from-root.mjs after package scripts stop using it.

Directory Rule

Keep migrated package tests under the package's existing test/** tree.

Use:

• packages/<pkg>/test/bun/**

Do not use:

• packages/<pkg>/test-bun/**

Proof Slice Results

Date: 2026-04-16

This slice intentionally did not migrate all tests. It added minimal Bun setup scaffolding and ran one representative check per lane to prove or disprove the setup assumptions.

Added Proof Scaffolding

• /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/bunfig.toml
• /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/config/bun-test-setup.ts
• /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/config/bun-test-globals.d.ts
• Bun-aware dynamic import path in /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/support/fixtures.js
• Bun-only source aliases in /Users/zbeyens/git/slate-v2/config/bun-test-setup.ts via mock.module(...):
  • slate
  • slate-dom
  • slate-history
  • slate-hyperscript
  • slate-react
• root test infra deps:
  • @happy-dom/global-registrator
  • @testing-library/jest-dom
  • @testing-library/react

The setup now carries the useful Plate pieces:

• Happy DOM registration
• Testing Library matcher extension
• Testing Library cleanup after each test
• jest.fn / jest.spyOn compatibility globals
• mock / spyOn globals
• TextEncoder, DOMParser, MessageChannel
• writable HTMLElement.prototype.isContentEditable
• Bun Mock/Spy type augmentation for Jest-style mock methods

Passed Proof

slate non-fixture utility lane

Command:

bun test ./packages/slate/test/utils/string.ts --test-name-pattern "getWordDistance - ltr"

Result:

• passed
• proves plain TypeScript tests using Bun globals work
• no bun:test imports needed in the test file

slate-react non-DOM logic lane

Command:

bun test ./packages/slate-react/test/chunking.spec.ts --test-name-pattern "returns flat tree for 1 child"

Result:

• passed
• proves non-DOM slate-react logic tests can run under Bun

slate-react DOM lane

Command:

bun test ./packages/slate-react/test/use-slate.spec.tsx --test-name-pattern "tracks a global"

Result:

• passed after importing the useful Plate Bun setup pieces
• proves React Testing Library + jest-dom matchers + cleanup work under Bun
• proves a small existing DOM suite can run without importing from bun:test

Failed Proofs And Meaning

Fixture TSX lanes

Commands:

bun test ./packages/slate/test/index.js --test-name-pattern "block-highest|root"
bun test ./packages/slate-history/test/index.js --test-name-pattern "basic|non-contiguous"

Result:

• partial pass only
• skipped fixtures were correctly registered as skipped
• failures came from TSX/hyperscript JSX handling, not from assertion logic

Observed failures:

• Plain Bun runtime fixture imports were not being compiled through the Slate hyperscript path the way Babel/Mocha currently does.
• Some fixture outputs became React-ish objects, which breaks editor mutation and withHistory(...).

Meaning:

• Bun can be the runner, but raw Bun TSX compilation is still the blocker.
• slate-hyperscript is now beyond the old fixture harness: one first-class Bun spec plus a scoped preload transform keeps the package on the root Bun config with no package-local bunfig.toml.
• slate and slate-history should follow the same direction instead of keeping their dynamic fixture harnesses.

Next implementation target:

• add a Bun-compatible fixture transform or fixture import path that honors /** @jsx jsx */
• prove the same three commands pass before changing package test scripts

Current Recommendation After Proof

Still proceed, but in this order:

1. migrate slate with the same scoped preload-transform pattern
2. migrate slate-history the same way
3. expand slate-react Bun coverage file-by-file
4. use Vitest only if the React DOM lane has a real Bun/happy-dom fidelity blocker

Do not delete Jest/Mocha yet.

Moved Slice Results

Date: 2026-04-16

The proof slice moved real tests, not copies, under each package's existing test/** tree:

• packages/slate/test/bun/**
• packages/slate-history/test/bun/**
• packages/slate-hyperscript/test/bun/**
• packages/slate-react/test/bun/**

Moved Test Counts

Fixture Packages (slate, slate-history, slate-hyperscript)

Attempted moved-slice integration under a single root bunfig exposed a real constraint:

• the fixture packages still rely on the old Babel fixture path for stable TSX hyperscript evaluation
• once package-local Bun config was removed, the moved fixture slice became sensitive to Bun/runtime behavior and even triggered Bun crashes in some paths

Final state for this turn:

• fixture-package Bun slice integration was backed out
• their tests still run through the existing Mocha/Babel harness
• the repo is green

Conclusion:

• root-only bunfig is kept
• fixture-package Bun migration is not ready for integration yet
• next step there is to normalize the fixture transform path first, not keep forcing moved slices into the main graph

slate-react

Moved 10 tests by moving these suites:

• editable.spec.tsx
• use-slate.spec.tsx
• use-slate-selector.spec.tsx

The remaining Jest suite ignores packages/slate-react/test/bun/**.

Command:

pnpm --filter slate-react run test:bun

Result:

• 10 passed

Script Wiring

• root-owned Bun slice:
  • test:bun
• package slate-react test runs test:bun before the remaining Jest lane
• root test:jest delegates to pnpm --filter slate-react test
• Jest ignores the moved slate-react/test/bun/** files
• fixture packages remain on the old runner for now

Verification

Commands passed:

pnpm test:bun
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint

Root-only-bunfig proof:

bun test ./packages/slate-react/test/bun

Next Batch Rule

The setup is now proven enough to continue in batches.

Next batch should move another 10-25 tests per package, not the whole tree.
