Add server test suite for authentication and API protection

[Copilot]

Implements unit tests for server-side authentication logic, JWT token handling, and API route protection without requiring database or external services.

Test Coverage

Auth Middleware Logic (20 tests)

• Protected path detection using PROTECTED_API_PATHS constant
• JWT token lifecycle: generation, validation, expiration, signature verification
• Authorization logic: steamId matching for user-specific access
• Cookie parsing and auth token extraction
• Edge cases: empty paths, undefined values, case sensitivity

Infrastructure (2 tests)

• Test framework validation and async handling

Test Utilities

// tests/server/utils/test-helpers.ts
generateValidToken(steamId)           // Creates valid JWT
generateExpiredToken(steamId)         // Creates expired token
generateInvalidSignatureToken(steamId) // Creates token with wrong signature
createAuthCookie(token)               // Formats cookie header

Configuration

• vitest.config.ts: Uses Nuxt environment for auto-imports and utilities
• nuxt.config.ts: Close hook now skips in test environment to prevent premature exit
• .env: Not committed (in .gitignore); test secrets clearly marked non-production

Documentation

• tests/README.md: Test descriptions, coverage goals, writing new tests
• tests/SETUP.md: Setup instructions, environment config, CI/CD examples, troubleshooting

Running

NODE_ENV=test npm test

All 22 tests pass in ~5 seconds with zero external dependencies.

Original prompt

create a test suite for server related stuff, like checking for example if api paths are auth protected or etc., review it carefully before impleenting and check if its executable

TITLE: Plan a server test suite to verify API auth protection and related server behaviors

USER INTENT: The user wants a carefully reviewed, executable test suite focused on server-side concerns, especially verifying that API paths are properly authentication-protected. They want the plan reviewed before implementation and confirmation that the suite will run.

TASK DESCRIPTION:

• Design a server-focused automated test suite to validate:
  • Authentication protection on API routes (protected vs public endpoints).
  • Authorization/role-based access where applicable.
  • Related server behaviors (e.g., error handling, CORS, rate limiting, input validation), if relevant.
• Ensure the proposed tests are executable in the project environment.
• Perform a pre-implementation review to confirm completeness and feasibility.

EXISTING:

• No existing code, files, framework choices, or project stack details were provided in the conversation.
• No prior assistant proposals or artifacts to build upon.

PENDING:

• Clarify stack and tooling:
  • Runtime/framework (e.g., Node.js/Express, NestJS, Fastify, Django, Rails, etc.).
  • Test runner and libraries (e.g., Jest/Mocha + Supertest for Node; pytest + requests for Python; RSpec + rack-test for Ruby).
  • Auth mechanism (session/cookies, JWT, OAuth/OpenID Connect).
  • How to spin up the server in tests (in-memory app instance vs. containerized/integration environment).
• Define the test scope and matrix:
  • List of protected routes and expected auth requirements.
  • List of public routes that should be accessible without auth.
  • Role/permission matrix if RBAC/ABAC is used.
• Prepare test fixtures and secrets:
  • Test users/roles, seed data.
  • Test keys/secrets/tokens and environment variables.
• Implement and verify:
  • Write tests for auth protection and related server checks.
  • Ensure tests are runnable in CI and locally.
  • Validate that the suite executes successfully (green run) or fails appropriately on misconfigurations.

CODE STATE:

• No files or code changes discussed or provided.
• Suggested, to-be-created test files (examples; actual paths depend on stack):
  • tests/server/auth.protection.test.(js|ts)
  • tests/server/public.routes.test.(js|ts)
  • tests/server/authorization.roles.test.(js|ts)
  • tests/server/error.handling.test.(js|ts)
  • tests/server/cors.csrf.test.(js|ts) (if applicable)
  • tests/server/rate.limiting.test.(js|ts) (if applicable)

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:

• None provided in the conversation.

OTHER NOTES:

• The user emphasized a careful review before implementation and ensuring executability.
• Missing context (framework, auth scheme, route definitions) must be gathered before drafting the concrete test cases or code.
