Why do my Vitest paths fail in Git Bash?

Git Bash often automatically converts Unix-style paths to Windows paths, causing 'file not found' errors. This skill provides the MSYS_NO_PATHCONV configurations and relative path patterns needed to fix this.

Does this skill help with Playwright on Windows?

Yes, it includes specific guidance for browser installation, headed mode execution in MINGW, and ensuring artifact paths like screenshots remain consistent.

How can I detect if a script is running in Git Bash?

The skill provides reliable detection methods using Node.js environment variables like process.env.MSYSTEM or shell commands like uname -s.

Is this applicable to CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. It offers testing strategies and YAML configurations designed for multi-platform CI/CD environments including Windows-latest runners.

Security & Testing

Ensures seamless execution of Vitest, Playwright, and MSW tests in Windows Git Bash environments through advanced path conversion patterns.

This skill provides Claude with specialized knowledge to resolve the unique challenges of running automated tests within Windows Git Bash (MINGW) environments. It addresses frequent issues like automatic path conversion, shell-specific environment variables, and cross-platform file system discrepancies. By implementing standardized shell detection and path-safe utilities, it enables developers to maintain a single test suite that performs reliably across macOS, Linux, and Windows, reducing CI/CD failures and local environment configuration overhead.
