OneNote CI Integration

Overview

Testing OneNote integrations in CI requires Azure AD app registration, credential management, and mock strategies for Graph API responses. This skill provides two proven CI strategies: mock-only PR checks (zero Azure credentials required) and nightly live integration tests with proper credential isolation and rate limit awareness.

Prerequisites

• GitHub Actions or equivalent CI platform
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• For mock-only CI: no Azure credentials needed
• For live integration tests: Azure AD test tenant with app registration
• GitHub repository secrets configured (live tests only)

Instructions

Strategy 1: Mock-Only CI (PR Checks)

Use msw (Mock Service Worker) to intercept Graph API calls with zero Azure dependency:

// tests/mocks/handlers.ts
import { http, HttpResponse } from "msw";
const GRAPH = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0";

export const handlers = [
  http.get(`${GRAPH}/me/onenote/notebooks`, () =>
    HttpResponse.json({ value: [
      { id: "nb-001", displayName: "Work Notes", createdDateTime: "2026-01-15T10:00:00Z" },
    ]})),

  http.get(`${GRAPH}/me/onenote/sections/:sectionId/pages`, () =>
    HttpResponse.json({ value: [
      { id: "page-001", title: "Sprint Review", createdDateTime: "2026-03-10T14:00:00Z" },
    ]})),

  http.post(`${GRAPH}/me/onenote/sections/:sectionId/pages`, async ({ request }) => {
    const body = await request.text();
    if (!body.includes("<html")) {
      return new HttpResponse(JSON.stringify({
        error: { code: "InvalidArgument", message: "Page content must be valid XHTML" }
      }), { status: 400 });
    }
    return HttpResponse.json({ id: "page-new", title: "Created Page" }, { status: 201 });
  }),
];

// tests/setup.ts
import { setupServer } from "msw/node";
import { handlers } from "./mocks/handlers";
export const server = setupServer(...handlers);
beforeAll(() => server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: "error" }));
afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());
afterAll(() => server.close());

Strategy 2: Live Integration Tests (Nightly)

Required GitHub Secrets: AZURETENANTID, AZURECLIENTID, AZURECLIENTSECRET.

Warning: ClientSecretCredential (app-only auth) was deprecated March 31, 2025 for OneNote APIs. CI test environments may still use it for automation, but production code must use delegated auth. Monitor Microsoft deprecation notices.

GitHub Actions Workflows

# .github/workflows/onenote-pr.yml — Mock-only, every PR
name: OneNote PR Checks
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  mock-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with: { node-version: 20, cache: npm }
      - run: npm ci && npm test -- --reporter=verbose
        env: { ONENOTE_TEST_MODE: mock }

          AZURE_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
          AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET }}

Test Isolation

Each test creates resources with a unique prefix. Note: OneNote notebooks cannot be deleted via Graph API — use a disposable test tenant or archive-based cleanup.

// tests/helpers/test-context.ts
import { randomUUID } from "crypto";
export function createTestContext() {
  const prefix = `ci-test-${randomUUID().slice(0, 8)}`;
  return {
    notebookName: `${prefix}-notebook`,
    sectionName: `${prefix}-section`,
    prefix,
  };
}

Rate Limit Awareness

Stay under 600 req/60s per user across parallel test jobs:

export async function withRateLimit<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 200));
  try { return await fn(); }
  catch (err: any) {
    if (err?.statusCode === 429) {
      const retry = parseInt(err.headers?.["retry-after"] ?? "5", 10);
      await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, retry * 1000));
      return fn();
    }
    throw err;
  }
}

• .github/workflows/onenote-nightly.yml — live integration test workflow
• tests/mocks/handlers.ts — MSW handlers for Graph API endpoints
• tests/setup.ts — mock server lifecycle management
• tests/helpers/test-context.ts — test isolation with unique prefixes

Error Handling

Examples

# Run mock tests locally
ONENOTE_TEST_MODE=mock npm test

# Run single integration test against live API
ONENOTE_TEST_MODE=live AZURE_TENANT_ID=xxx AZURE_CLIENT_ID=yyy \
  AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=zzz npx vitest run tests/integration/notebooks.test.ts
