# QA procedure: registration_gate_and_verification_email Package: `test` (black-box), extending `test/user_test.go` (mockUserRepo, stubHasher) and `test/mail_test.go` (mockMailRepo, recordedMail, failSwitch). ## Setup shared by every case 1. Call `validator.InitValidator()` once. 2. Use-case-level checks build: `useCases.NewCreateUserUseCase(repo, &stubHasher{}, mailRepo, "https://cms.example.com")` where `repo` is a `mockUserRepo` and `mailRepo` is a `mockMailRepo`. Use `mailRepo.fail.failNext("Send")` to force the next `Send` call to fail for the rollback cases. 3. HTTP-level checks wire `mockUserRepo`, `mockMailRepo`, `useCases.NewCreateUserUseCase(repo, &stubHasher{}, mailRepo, publicURL)`, `useCases.NewListUsersUseCase(repo)`, `useCases.NewGetUserUseCase(repo)`, `useCases.NewAuthenticateUserUseCase(repo, ...)` into `auth.NewHandler(...)` (which no longer takes a mail use case or a public URL) with a test `jwtauth.New("HS256", []byte("test-secret"), nil)`. Mount `POST /v1/auth/register` unprotected on a fresh `chi.NewRouter()` mirroring `api/router.go`. No live server, no real SMTP. Default `publicURL` for cases that don't care about its value is `"https://cms.example.com"`. ## Use-case-level checks (no HTTP) 4. Repository pre-populated with one verified user (`IsVerified: true`). Call `CreateUser` with a new username/email/password. Assert `errors.Is(err, user.ErrRegistrationClosed)`. Assert the repository's `Create` was never called (e.g. repo's user count is unchanged, or a `fail.failNext("Create")` sentinel that would only trip if reached). Assert `mailRepo.SentEmails` is empty. 5. Repository pre-populated with two unverified users. Call `CreateUser` with a new username. Assert `err == nil`, the returned user has `IsVerified == false`, and `mailRepo.SentEmails` has exactly one entry for the new user's email with `Template == "mailValidation"`. 6. On an empty repository, call `CreateUser`. Assert `err == nil` and `abs(result.VerificationExpiration.Sub(time.Now().Add(2*time.Hour))) < 5*time.Second`. 7. On an empty repository, set `mailRepo.fail.failNext("Send")`. Call `CreateUser` with username "alice"/email "alice@example.com". Assert `err != nil` (wrapping the mail repository's failure, e.g. `errors.Is(err, errRepositoryFailure)` per the existing `failSwitch` convention). Assert `repo.GetByUsername("alice")` returns `user.ErrUserNotFound` (the created row was deleted). Then clear the failure and call `CreateUser` again with the same username/email → assert `err == nil`. ## HTTP-level checks (fakes, per the shared setup above) 8. `POST /v1/auth/register` with `{"username":"alice","password":"hunter2example12","email":"alice@example.com"}` against an empty `mockUserRepo` → assert status `200`, a `Set-Cookie: jwt=...` header present. Assert `mailRepo.SentEmails` has exactly one entry with `Address == "alice@example.com"` and `Template == "mailValidation"`. 9. Inspect that entry's `Data` and assert it carries the raw verification code (compare against the `VerificationCode` field on the user returned by `CreateUser`/stored via the mock repo lookup) — not the hashed value the repository stores. 10. Build the handler from a `CreateUserUseCase` constructed with `publicURL = "https://cms.example.com"`. Repeat the registration call. Assert the recorded mail data's `Host` field equals `"https://cms.example.com"`. Then set the process env var `PUBLIC_URL` to a different value and register a second user with the same handler instance; assert the second email's `Host` is still `"https://cms.example.com"` (construction-time value, not read again from the environment). 11. Seed `mockUserRepo` with one user having `IsVerified: true`. `POST /v1/auth/register` with a new username/email → assert status `403`, body exactly `"You are not allowed to create a user. Log in or reset database."` (the value of the new `apperr` constant), `mockUserRepo` still holds only the original user, and `mailRepo.SentEmails` is still empty. 12. On an empty `mockUserRepo`, set `mailRepo.fail.failNext("Send")`. `POST /v1/auth/register` with `{"username":"alice","password":"hunter2example12","email":"alice@example.com"}` → assert status `500`, no `Set-Cookie: jwt=...` header present, and `mockUserRepo` does not contain a user named "alice". Then, without re-arming the failure, `POST /v1/auth/register` again with the same body → assert status `200` and a `Set-Cookie: jwt=...` header present (the username and email are free again). ## Manual verification (not exercised by the Go test) - The real SMTP send (`internal/infrastructure/mailer.MailRepository.Send` actually dialing a server) is never exercised automatically; verify by hand against a real or sandboxed SMTP server that the rendered `mailValidation.html` link matches `PUBLIC_URL` from the deployed `.env` and that clicking it reaches the SPA's `/register/validate` route. - The SPA's handling of an expired or already-used verification code (any UI/UX around `/register/validate?c=...`) is out of scope for this slice and not covered here.
