Formax Test Stability Workflow

Goal

  • Write stable UI tests with explicit state sync.

Do

  • Wait for target state before next key (example: wait ❯ 3. before typing feedback).

  • Assert final behavior, not transient cursor frames (example: assert feedback aXb, not a▏b).

  • In multi-step input flows, wait for idle state between steps (example: placeholder/queue-hint settled).

  • Extract repeated sync steps into local helpers (example: selectFeedbackRow, queueMessageWhileLoading).

Don't

  • Do not fix flakes by only increasing timeout.
  • Do not use long sleep as synchronization.
  • Do not bind assertions to fragile render glyphs/spacing.
