Testing ViewComponentContrib Base Class Implementation in Brakeman

This test file validates the implementation of a ViewComponentContrib base class extension for Rails 6 applications within the Brakeman security scanner. It tests basic component initialization and property handling in view components, ensuring proper inheritance and state management.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite focuses on verifying the core functionality of ViewComponentContrib class inheritance and property initialization. Key areas covered include:

Component instantiation with property injection
Base class inheritance verification
Instance variable initialization and access
Component lifecycle management

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach implements a minimal component class that extends ViewComponentContrib::Base to validate the basic component structure. The pattern follows Ruby class inheritance conventions while specifically testing the Rails view component architecture.

The implementation uses instance variable initialization through constructor injection, demonstrating proper encapsulation practices.

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

Ruby on Rails 6.x test framework
ViewComponentContrib library integration
Instance-level property management
Constructor-based dependency injection

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test exhibits several key testing best practices including clean component initialization, proper inheritance structure, and clear property management. The code organization follows Ruby conventions for view component testing, with explicit constructor definition and instance variable handling.

Notable practices include:

Single responsibility principle adherence
Clear initialization pattern
Proper base class extension
