Initial Tests

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ผ Kellie ๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ has already configured vitest for us in . Feel free to check the vitest docs if you'd like to learn more about the configuration options. It's pretty minimal which is nice.
We've got a utility we use in various places throughout the app that would be nice to have a test for. It's our getErrorMessage utility. It's simple and pure (mostly ๐Ÿ˜ˆ), so it's a good start for our unit testing journey. Here's how it's typically used:
// Error object returns message
getErrorMessage(new Error('Oh no, there was an error'))
// "Oh no, there was an error"

// String returns itself
getErrorMessage('This is another error')
// "This is another error"

// undefined falls back to Unknown
getErrorMessage(undefined)
// "Unknown Error"
So let's write some tests for each of these cases. This may not look like much, but we've got a bit of a curve ball on that last one that'll make this an especially interesting exercise. Stay tuned!
As a reminder, here's the format of a test in Vitest:
import { test, expect } from 'vitest'
import { validatePassword } from './validatePassword'

test('returns false for passwords shorter than 8 characters', () => {
	expect(validatePassword('1234567')).toBe(false)
})

// more tests
Kody's ๐Ÿจ going to take the day off for this one. We think you can write these tests on your own! If you get stuck, you can always check the diff.
