capacitor-testing from cap-go/capgo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Testing guide for Capacitor apps and plugins. Covers web-layer unit and component tests with Vitest and mocked Capacitor plugins (`vi.mock('@capacitor/core')`, `registerPlugin`), Playwright for the web build, Appium E2E with NATIVE_APP / WEBVIEW context switching, native plugin unit tests with Swift Testing vs XCTest (what can migrate, `CAPPluginCall` patterns, `xcodebuild test` on a simulator) and Android JUnit, plus an agent-driven verification loop on simulators and devices…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Testing Capacitor Apps and Plugins
A Capacitor app has three layers to test: the web app (most logic), the native bridge and plugins (Swift/Kotlin), and the running app on a device. Pick the cheapest layer that can catch the bug.
## When to Use
TRIGGER when:
- Adding unit, component or E2E tests to a Capacitor app
- Mocking Capacitor or plugin APIs in Vitest / Jest
- Writing or modernizing native unit tests for a plugin (Swift Testing, XCTest, JUnit)
- Verifying a change on a simulator, emulator or device ("test this", "does it work", "check on device")
- E2E tests that cannot find web elements in the app (WebView context)
- Setting up test jobs in CI
Do not use:
- Reading device or crash logs: `ios-android-logs`
- Safari Web Inspector / Chrome DevTools debugging: `debugging-capacitor`
- Build, signing and release pipelines: `capacitor-ci-cd`
- App Intents tests: `capacitor-app-intents` (AppIntentsTesting)
## Choose the layer
| What changed | Test with | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Business logic, state, services that call plugins | Vitest with mocked plugins | [references/web-unit-tests.md](references/web-unit-tests.md) |

How to install
mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-testing@sha256:080f297b0f67c523The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.86834d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
