#Migrate to Rstest

#Goal

Migrate Jest/Vitest tests and config to Rstest with minimal behavior changes. Use the current Rstest migration docs for exact mappings; this skill adds scope, dependency, and cleanup guardrails.

#Workflow

1. Detect runner and scope (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/main/skills/migrate-to-rstest/references/detect-test-framework.md).
2. Run dependency/version gates (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/main/skills/migrate-to-rstest/references/dependency-install-gate.md).
3. Read only the needed deltas: Jest, Vitest, and/or global API replacement.
4. Migrate scripts/config/setup before tests; prefer adapters or Rsbuild/Rspack config fixes before editing test bodies.
5. Validate discovery/types/run, fixing failures in this order: dependency skew, config/resolver, setup/env/coverage, mocks/timers/snapshots, test bodies.
6. After the scope is green, remove only scope-local legacy files and devDeps no remaining scope uses.
7. Summarize changes, kept legacy files, unsupported fields, and TODOs.

#Guardrails

• Keep the smallest viable scope; do not broaden a monorepo migration or bulk-rewrite tests when config/setup fixes are plausible.
• Do not change production behavior, assertions, test names, scenarios, or coverage thresholds to make migration pass.
• No jest/vi shims or aliases; rewrite call sites to Rstest APIs (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/main/skills/migrate-to-rstest/references/global-api-migration.md).
• Do not silently drop unknown config fields; verify or report them as unsupported.

#High-risk Rstest deltas

• rstest / rstest run is single-run; watch mode is rstest --watch or rstest watch.
• globals defaults to false; if globals remain, set globals: true and add @rstest/core/globals types.
• Rstest runs on Rsbuild/Rspack. Use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/main/skills/migrate-to-rstest/references/dependency-install-gate.md for latest-only APIs, coverage providers, adapters, plugins, and toolchain-version fallbacks.

#Escalate before large edits

If the next fix requires many test edits or production source changes, stop and report: why smaller fixes failed, options, risks, and the recommended path.
