# Testing your Agents

Because Agents run on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, they can be tested using the same tools and techniques as Workers and Durable Objects.

## Writing and running tests

### Setup

Note

The `agents-starter` template and new Cloudflare Workers projects already include the relevant `vitest` and `@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers` packages, as well as a valid `vitest.config.js` file.

Before you write your first test, install the necessary packages:

```sh
npm install vitest@^4.1.0 @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers --save-dev
```

Ensure that your `vitest.config.js` has the `cloudflareTest` plugin configured:

**JavaScript**

```js
import { cloudflareTest } from "@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers";
import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config";


export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    cloudflareTest({
      wrangler: { configPath: "./wrangler.jsonc" },
    }),
  ],
});
```

### Write a test

Note

Review the [Vitest documentation ↗](https://vitest.dev/) for more information on testing, including the test API reference and advanced testing techniques.

Tests use the `vitest` framework. A basic test suite for your Agent can validate how your Agent responds to requests, but can also unit test your Agent's methods and state.

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { env, exports } from "cloudflare:workers";
import {
  createExecutionContext,
  waitOnExecutionContext,
} from "cloudflare:test";
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import worker from "../src";
import { Env } from "../src";


interface ProvidedEnv extends Env {}


describe("make a request to my Agent", () => {
  // Unit testing approach
  it("responds with state", async () => {
    // Provide a valid URL that your Worker can use to route to your Agent
    // If you are using routeAgentRequest, this will be /agents/:agent/:name
    const request = new Request<unknown, IncomingRequestCfProperties>(
      "http://example.com/agents/my-agent/agent-123",
    );
    const ctx = createExecutionContext();
    const response = await worker.fetch(request, env, ctx);
    await waitOnExecutionContext(ctx);
    expect(await response.json()).toEqual({ hello: "from your agent" });
  });


  it("also responds with state", async () => {
    const request = new Request("http://example.com/agents/my-agent/agent-123");
    const response = await exports.default.fetch(request);
    expect(await response.json()).toEqual({ hello: "from your agent" });
  });
});
```

### Run tests

Running tests is done using the `vitest` CLI:

```sh
npm run test
# or run vitest directly
npx vitest
```

```txt
  MyAgent
    ✓ should return a greeting (1 ms)


Test Files  1 passed (1)
```

Review the [documentation on testing](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/testing/vitest-integration/write-your-first-test/) for additional examples and test configuration.

## Running Agents locally

You can also run an Agent locally using the `wrangler` CLI:

```sh
npx wrangler dev
```

```txt
Your Worker and resources are simulated locally via Miniflare. For more information, see: https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/testing/local-development.


Your worker has access to the following bindings:
- Durable Objects:
  - MyAgent: MyAgent
  Starting local server...
[wrangler:inf] Ready on http://localhost:53645
```

This spins up a local development server that runs the same runtime as Cloudflare Workers, and allows you to iterate on your Agent's code and test it locally without deploying it.

Visit the [wrangler dev ↗](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/wrangler/commands/general/#dev) docs to review the CLI flags and configuration options.
