Living Spec Standalone (Web Server Binary)

This app runs as a single Rust web server binary that serves the Vite/React frontend and exposes APIs. The frontend lives in the frontend/ directory.

You can also run the frontend and backend separately in development (Vite dev server + Rust API).

Running it in development

# Build the frontend
cd frontend
pnpm install 
pnpm dev

# Run the server (serves embedded frontend/dist/)
cargo run

Production

# Build the release binary (also builds the frontend via build.rs)
cargo build --release

# Run the server (serves embedded frontend/dist/)
./target/release/story-kit-server

Testing

Frontend Tests

The frontend uses Vitest for unit tests and Playwright for end-to-end tests.

cd frontend

# Run unit tests
pnpm test

# Run end-to-end tests
pnpm test:e2e

Backend Tests

This project uses nextest for running tests and cargo-llvm-cov for code coverage.

Install Tools

cargo install cargo-nextest cargo-llvm-cov

Run Tests

# Run all tests
cargo nextest run

# Run specific module
cargo nextest run search_files

# Run with verbose output
cargo nextest run --no-capture

Generate Coverage

# HTML report (opens in browser)
cargo llvm-cov nextest --html --open

# Terminal output
cargo llvm-cov nextest

# LCOV format (for CI)
cargo llvm-cov nextest --lcov --output-path lcov.info

# Clean coverage data
cargo llvm-cov clean
