Use for test lifecycle hooks: beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach, afterEach, fixtures, preload.
npx skills add https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills --skill bun-test-lifecycle
Bun supports Jest-compatible lifecycle hooks for test setup and teardown.
import { test, expect, beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach, afterEach } from "bun:test";
let db: Database;
let testData: any;
// Runs once before all tests in file
beforeAll(async () => {
db = await Database.connect();
});
// Runs once after all tests in file
afterAll(async () => {
await db.close();
});
// Runs before each test
beforeEach(() => {
testData = { id: 1, name: "test" };
});
// Runs after each test
afterEach(() => {
testData = null;
});
test("example", () => {
expect(testData.name).toBe("test");
});

import { describe, test, beforeAll, beforeEach, afterEach, afterAll } from "bun:test";
describe("outer", () => {
beforeAll(() => console.log("1. outer beforeAll"));
afterAll(() => console.log("6. outer afterAll"));
beforeEach(() => console.log("2. outer beforeEach"));
afterEach(() => console.log("5. outer afterEach"));
describe("inner", () => {
beforeEach(() => console.log("3. inner beforeEach"));
afterEach(() => console.log("4. inner afterEach"));
test("test", () => {
console.log("test runs here");
});
});
});
// Output:
// 1. outer beforeAll
// 2. outer beforeEach
// 3. inner beforeEach
// test runs here
// 4. inner afterEach
// 5. outer afterEach
// 6. outer afterAll
beforeAll(async () => {
await setupDatabase();
});
beforeEach(async () => {
await seedTestData();
});
afterEach(async () => {
await clearTestData();
});
afterAll(async () => {
await teardownDatabase();
});
// Set timeout for slow setup
beforeAll(async () => {
await slowSetup();
}, 30000); // 30 seconds
Use --preload for global setup across all test files:
bun test --preload ./setup.ts
import { beforeAll, afterAll } from "bun:test";
// Global setup
beforeAll(() => {
console.log("Global setup runs before all test files");
});
// Global teardown
afterAll(() => {
console.log("Global teardown runs after all test files");
});
// Set global variables
globalThis.testConfig = {
apiUrl: "http://localhost:3000",
};
[test]
preload = ["./test/setup.ts"]
import { beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach, afterEach } from "bun:test";
let db: Database;
beforeAll(async () => {
db = await Database.connect(process.env.TEST_DB_URL);
await db.migrate();
});
afterAll(async () => {
await db.close();
});
beforeEach(async () => {
await db.beginTransaction();
});
afterEach(async () => {
await db.rollback(); // Reset state
});
import { beforeAll, afterAll } from "bun:test";
let server: Server;
let baseUrl: string;
beforeAll(async () => {
server = Bun.serve({
port: 0, // Random available port
fetch: app.fetch,
});
baseUrl = `http://localhost:${server.port}`;
});
afterAll(() => {
server.stop();
});
test("api works", async () => {
const res = await fetch(`${baseUrl}/api/health`);
expect(res.ok).toBe(true);
});
import { beforeEach, afterEach, spyOn } from "bun:test";
let fetchSpy: ReturnType<typeof spyOn>;
beforeEach(() => {
fetchSpy = spyOn(global, "fetch").mockResolvedValue(
new Response(JSON.stringify({ ok: true }))
);
});
afterEach(() => {
fetchSpy.mockRestore();
});
import { beforeAll, afterAll } from "bun:test";
const originalEnv = process.env;
beforeAll(() => {
process.env = {
...originalEnv,
NODE_ENV: "test",
API_KEY: "test-key",
};
});
afterAll(() => {
process.env = originalEnv;
});
// fixtures.ts
export async function createTestUser() {
return { id: 1, name: "Test User" };
}
export async function cleanupTestUser(user: any) {
// cleanup logic
}
// test file
import { createTestUser, cleanupTestUser } from "./fixtures";
let user: any;
beforeEach(async () => {
user = await createTestUser();
});
afterEach(async () => {
await cleanupTestUser(user);
});
If a hook throws, all tests in that describe block fail:
beforeAll(() => {
throw new Error("Setup failed");
});
// All tests in this file will fail
test("will fail", () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| beforeAll timeout | Slow async setup | Increase timeout |
| Hook not called | Wrong scope | Check hook placement |
| Cleanup not run | afterAll skipped | Ensure no throws in tests |
| State leak | Missing cleanup | Add proper afterEach |

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Expert guidance for systematic backtesting of trading strategies. Use when developing, testing, stress-testing, or validating quantitative trading strategies. Covers "beating ideas to death" methodology, parameter robustness testing, slippage modeling, bias prevention, and interpreting backtest results. Applicable when user asks about backtesting, strategy validation, robustness testing, avoiding overfitting, or systematic trading development.
Cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and validation. Use when designing proteins and needing experimental validation including binding assays, expression testing, thermostability measurements, enzyme activity assays, or protein sequence optimization. Also use for submitting experiments via API, tracking experiment status, downloading results, optimizing protein sequences for better expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM), or managing protein design workflows with wet-lab validation.
This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.
