PROBLEM: 10/26 integration test suites hanging (API tests)
- Tests import app but don't connect required databases
- Tractatus uses TWO separate DB connections (native + Mongoose)
- Tests only connected one, causing hangs when routes accessed User model
INVESTIGATION:
- Created minimal.test.js - diagnostic test (passes)
- Identified root cause: dual database architecture
- Updated api.auth.test.js with both connections (still investigating hang)
CREATED:
- tests/helpers/db-test-helper.js - Unified database setup helper
Exports setupDatabases() and cleanupDatabases()
Connects both native MongoDB driver AND Mongoose
Ready for use in all integration tests
PARTIAL FIX:
- tests/integration/api.auth.test.js - Updated to connect both DBs
- Still investigating why tests hang (likely response field mismatch)
NEXT SESSION:
1. Apply db-test-helper to all 7 API integration tests
2. Fix response field mismatches (accessToken vs token)
3. Verify all tests pass
IMPACT: Test helper provides pattern for fixing all integration tests
