test(mosaic): avoid session cookie buildup in feature tests by austincalvelage · Pull Request #10586 · clerk/javascript

austincalvelage · 2026-11-02T19:13:00Z

Description

Mosaic feature tests create a Clerk instance with a different publishable key for each test. Browser cookie services from earlier instances can recreate their session cookies after cleanup. The accumulated cookies make Vite reject a later test iframe with HTTP 431, which Vitest reports as an iframe startup timeout.

Default renderWithClerk to standardBrowser: false so component tests skip browser cookie services. This changes the shared test fixture only; production Clerk behavior is unchanged.

Walkthrough

renderWithClerk now passes standardBrowser: false to clerk.load before spreading caller options. A test verifies that token retrieval returns a string and that document.cookie does not contain a __session cookie. The documentation describes the setting and notes that Clerk is not disposed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: alexcarpenter

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 73f4a

Feature tests can still accumulate session cookies and fail later browser tests with iframe startup errors; the direct Clerk load needs the same isolation override before merging.

Isolate or fully dispose the browser-mode Clerk service.

If this test runs before a default-mode render, its AuthCookieService remains subscribed after afterEach. The later render can emit a token update while the window is focused, causing the stale service to recreate __session and fail the no-cookie assertion.

Use a separate browser realm, or add teardown that removes the service’s event and DOM listeners. Clearing document.cookie does not stop the service.

Review comment at @packages/mosaic/src/__tests__/feature/render.feature.test.tsx at line 24: The browser-mode Clerk service created by renderWithClerk remains active after the test and can recreate the session cookie; isolate it in a separate browser realm or fully dispose its event and DOM listeners during teardown.
