Evernote CI Integration

Evernote CI Integration

Overview

Configure continuous integration pipelines for Evernote integrations with mock-based unit tests, sandbox-based integration tests, credential management, and deployment workflows.

Prerequisites

• Git repository with Evernote integration code
• CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Test framework (Jest, Vitest, or Mocha)
• Sandbox API credentials for integration tests

Instructions

Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow

Create a workflow that runs unit tests on every PR and integration tests on merges to main. Store sandbox credentials as GitHub Actions secrets.

# .github/workflows/evernote-ci.yml
name: Evernote CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with: { node-version: '20' }
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test
      - name: Integration tests
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        env:
          EVERNOTE_DEV_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.EVERNOTE_SANDBOX_TOKEN }}
          EVERNOTE_SANDBOX: 'true'
        run: npm run test:integration

Step 2: Mock Evernote Client for Unit Tests

Create a mock NoteStore that returns predictable data without hitting the API. Mock createNote, getNote, findNotesMetadata, listNotebooks, and listTags.

class MockNoteStore {
  constructor() {
    this.notes = new Map();
    this.notebooks = [{ guid: 'nb-1', name: 'Default', defaultNotebook: true }];
  }

  async createNote(note) {
    const guid = `note-${Date.now()}`;
    const created = { ...note, guid, created: Date.now(), updated: Date.now() };
    this.notes.set(guid, created);
    return created;
  }

  async getNote(guid, withContent) {
    const note = this.notes.get(guid);
    if (!note) throw { identifier: 'Note.guid', key: guid };
    return withContent ? note : { ...note, content: undefined };
  }

  async listNotebooks() { return this.notebooks; }
}

Step 3: Unit and Integration Test Examples

Write unit tests against the mock client (fast, no credentials needed). Write integration tests against the sandbox (slow, needs EVERNOTE_DEV_TOKEN). Tag integration tests so they can run separately.

Step 4: Secrets Management

Store EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY, EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET, and EVERNOTE_DEV_TOKEN as repository secrets. Never log or echo secret values. Use environment-specific secret names for staging vs production.

For the full CI workflow, mock client, test examples, and deployment pipeline, see Implementation Guide.

Output

• GitHub Actions workflow with unit and integration test stages
• MockNoteStore class for deterministic unit testing
• Integration test suite using sandbox credentials
• Secrets management configuration for GitHub Actions
• npm scripts: test, test:unit, test:integration

Examples

Unit test suite: Test NoteService.createNote() against MockNoteStore to verify ENML wrapping, title sanitization, and tag handling without any API calls.

Sandbox integration test: In CI, create a note in the sandbox, retrieve it by GUID, verify content matches, then delete it. Runs only on main branch merges.
