Test your extension

Run unit tests against extension code with jest, or run the full extension server locally against the pub/sub emulator.

Test an extension with unit tests against its code, or by running the full extension server locally.

An action's logic is ordinary TypeScript, so test it like any other TypeScript: given this payload, does it call onComplete with the right result, and does it call onError when the third-party call fails?

Write the onError case first. An action that only handles the happy path leaves care flows stuck when the other system fails. See The onEvent function.

Run the full extension server when the wiring is the problem

To exercise the whole path, run the extension server application locally using the pub/sub emulator.

It catches wiring failures rather than logic errors: the action isn't being found, or the payload isn't the shape the action expects.
