Perses Plugin Testing

Test Perses plugins across four layers: CUE schema validation, React component unit tests, integration testing against a live Perses server, and Grafana migration compatibility.

Overview

This skill validates Perses plugin correctness from schemas through rendered components. Testing follows a strict four-phase order because each layer depends on the previous one passing — schema tests must succeed before component tests, which must succeed before integration tests, which must succeed before migration tests.

STOP before proceeding if:

• percli is not installed or not on PATH
• No CUE schemas exist in the plugin (nothing to test with test-schemas)
• The plugin has no JSON examples and you'd need to create them from scratch
• Integration testing is requested but no local Perses server is available and Docker is not installed
• Migration testing is requested but no migrate/migrate.cue file exists in the plugin
• Schema tests produce errors you cannot diagnose from the CUE output alone
