- Research direction
- Start by examining the existing server side test suite, likely in the `server/` directory under ` tests ` or similar. Look at how other API endpoint tests are structured (e.g., REST tests) and identify the testing framework used (Jest or Mocha). For WebSocket tests, you'll need to simulate connections; consider using a library like `ws` or `supertest ws`. Focus on writing tests for message handling, connection lifecycle, and error cases. Review any comments on the issue for additional context or guidance from maintainers.
