TDD Track Sync Implementation Progress

Date: 2026-01-21 Feature: PUT /api/sessions/{id}/tracks - Track Configuration API Methodology: Test-Driven Development (TDD)

---

✅ Completed Steps

1. TDD Guidelines Added to CLAUDE.md ✅

Added comprehensive TDD section to /Users/nuwan/Code/jam-cloud/CLAUDE.md:

• RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow
• When to use TDD
• Test types (Unit, Integration, E2E)
• TDD best practices
• Running tests commands
• File locations
• CI/CD integration

Status: Complete

---

2. Unit Tests (RED Phase) ✅

File Created: src/services/__tests__/trackSyncService.test.js

13 Tests Written:

buildTrackSyncPayload():

• ✅ Builds correct payload from Redux state with user tracks
• ✅ Builds payload with mono sound when track is not stereo
• ✅ Builds payload with backing tracks
• ✅ Builds payload with metronome open
• ✅ Handles missing metronome state gracefully
• ✅ Handles empty tracks array
• ✅ Maps multiple instruments correctly

syncTracksToServer():

• ✅ Calls API with correct payload
• ✅ Skips sync when clientId is missing
• ✅ Skips sync when sessionId is missing
• ✅ Skips sync when session not joined
• ✅ Handles API error gracefully
• ✅ Dispatches Redux actions on success

Initial Result: All 13 tests FAILED ❌ (expected - module didn't exist)

Status: Complete

---

3. Service Implementation (GREEN Phase) ✅

Files Created/Modified:

1. src/services/trackSyncService.js (118 lines)

• buildTrackSyncPayload() - Converts Redux state to API payload
• syncTracksToServer() - Redux thunk with guards and error handling
• Guards for: clientId, sessionId, sessionJoined
• Logging for debugging
• Error handling with graceful degradation

2. src/helpers/globals.js

• Added getInstrumentServerIdFromClientId() helper function
• Maps numeric client IDs (10, 20, 40...) to string server IDs ("acoustic guitar", "bass guitar", "drums"...)

Key Implementation Details:

// Guard pattern
if (!clientId) {
  console.warn('[Track Sync] Skipped: Client ID not available');
  return { skipped: true, reason: 'no_client_id' };
}

// Payload building
const tracks = userTracks.map(track => ({
  client_track_id: track.id,
  client_resource_id: track.rid,
  instrument_id: getInstrumentServerIdFromClientId(track.instrument_id),
  sound: track.stereo ? 'stereo' : 'mono'
}));

// API call
const response = await putTrackSyncChange({ id: sessionId, ...payload });

Final Test Result: All 13 tests PASSED ✅

Test Summary:

Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
Tests:       13 passed, 13 total
Time:        1.817s

Status: Complete

---

4. Integration Tests (RED Phase) ✅

File Created: test/track-sync/track-configuration.spec.ts

7 Tests Written:

1. ✅ syncs tracks when user joins session

   • Verifies PUT /tracks called after session join
   • Checks payload structure (client_id, tracks, backing_tracks, metronome_open)
   • Verifies 200 response

2. ✅ syncs tracks 3 times on session join (legacy pattern)

   • Documents legacy behavior (calls at ~1s, ~1.4s, ~6s)
   • Logs actual timing between calls
   • Expects at least 1 call (allows for optimization)

3. ✅ payload includes user tracks with correct structure

   • Validates client_id is UUID format
   • Validates tracks array structure
   • Validates sound is "stereo" or "mono"
   • Validates instrument_id is string
   • Validates metronome_open is boolean

4. ✅ handles API error gracefully

   • Mocks 500 error response
   • Verifies app doesn't crash
   • Verifies session screen remains usable

5. ✅ skips sync when session not joined

   • Verifies no sync on session creation form
   • Only syncs after actually joining

6. 🔮 syncs backing tracks when media opened (TODO - future)

   • Placeholder for future implementation
   • Documents expected behavior

7. 🔮 syncs metronome state when toggled (TODO - future)

   • Placeholder for future implementation
   • Documents expected behavior

Expected Result: Tests should FAIL ❌ because service isn't wired to components yet

Actual Result: Tests running (async - in background)

Status: Tests written, awaiting execution

🔄 Next Steps (GREEN Phase)

5. Wire Up Service to Components

Files to Modify:

A. Session Join - src/components/client/JKSessionScreen.js

import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { syncTracksToServer } from '../../services/trackSyncService';

// Add to component
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const sessionId = useSelector(state => state.activeSession.sessionId);
const sessionJoined = useSelector(state => state.activeSession.sessionJoined);

// Add effect for initial sync (3-call pattern matching legacy)
useEffect(() => {
  if (sessionJoined && sessionId) {
    // First sync: Initial setup
    setTimeout(() => {
      dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));
    }, 1000);

    // Second sync: Refinement
    setTimeout(() => {
      dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));
    }, 1400);

    // Third sync: Final config
    setTimeout(() => {
      dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));
    }, 6000);
  }
}, [sessionJoined, sessionId]);

B. Instrument Change - src/components/client/JKSessionMyTrack.js

const handleInstrumentSave = async (instrumentId) => {
  await jamClient.TrackSetInstrument(ASSIGNMENT.TRACK1, instrumentId);

  // Add this line:
  dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));

  setShowInstrumentModal(false);
};

C. Metronome Toggle - src/components/client/JKSessionMetronomePlayer.js

const handleMetronomeToggle = () => {
  dispatch(toggleMetronome());

  // Add this line:
  dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));
};

D. Media Toggle - src/hooks/useMediaActions.js

export const toggleBackingTrack = (trackId, isOpen) => async (dispatch) => {
  dispatch(setBackingTrackOpen({ trackId, isOpen }));

  // Add this line:
  await dispatch(syncTracksToServer(sessionId));
};

6. Run Integration Tests

cd jam-ui
npx playwright test --config=playwright.chrome.config.ts track-configuration.spec.ts

Expected Results After Wiring:

• ✅ All 5 core tests should PASS
• ✅ 2 TODO tests remain placeholders
• ✅ API calls visible in browser DevTools

---

7. Refactor (if needed)

After tests pass, consider:

• Optimize 3-call pattern to 1 call (if tests show no race conditions)
• Add debouncing for mixer changes
• Extract timing constants
• Add TypeScript types

---

📊 Test Coverage Summary

Test Type	File	Tests	Status
Unit Tests	src/services/__tests__/trackSyncService.test.js	13	✅ All passing
Integration Tests	test/track-sync/track-configuration.spec.ts	7	🔄 Running
Total		20

---

🎯 TDD Principles Followed

✅ RED - Write failing test first

• Unit tests: 13 tests failed initially
• Integration tests: Expected to fail before wiring

✅ GREEN - Write minimum code to pass

• Implemented only what tests required
• No over-engineering
• Simple, focused solutions

🔜 REFACTOR - Improve code quality

• Next step after integration tests pass
• Will optimize 3-call pattern if possible

🚀 Next Action

Run integration tests to verify RED phase, then wire up components for GREEN phase:

# 1. Run integration tests (should fail - not wired yet)
npx playwright test --config=playwright.chrome.config.ts track-configuration.spec.ts

# 2. Wire up JKSessionScreen.js
# 3. Wire up JKSessionMyTrack.js
# 4. Wire up metronome and media toggles

# 5. Run tests again (should pass!)
npx playwright test --config=playwright.chrome.config.ts track-configuration.spec.ts

# 6. Verify in browser DevTools Network tab
npm start
# Join session → watch for PUT /api/sessions/{id}/tracks calls
