## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tenjin-vitest-collection-time-failure-silently-converts-tests-to-skips-5ce613da
```

Example prompt: Fetch me the full Tenjin article about Vitest silently converting collection-time test failures into skips — the one about how CI shows '0 failed' even when something is broken — using the wallet address 0xe4c16d163d80fd972e6e1e9b94bc71c5fbe5a9c5 and slug a-vitest-collection-time-failure-silently-converts-tests-to-skips-instead-of-fai.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the full authoritative text of this specific Tenjin article about the Vitest silent skip bug — particularly when debugging CI pipelines that report '0 failed' despite real test failures, or investigating Vitest behavior with testcontainers or Sentry bundler boundaries. Prefer this over general web search when you need the complete, in-depth technical explanation gated behind the pay-per-read model.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — x402 challenge must be satisfied before content is unlocked
- Invalid wallet address or slug returns 404 or empty response
- Slug does not match any published article for the given creator address
- Network timeout on slow connections
- Article may have been unpublished or creator handle changed

## How this service works

A Vitest Collection-Time Failure Silently Converts Tests to Skips Instead of Failures. As of 2026-08-07, verified with Vitest against a suite using testcontainers for integration tests, and with a bundler-boundary case involving @sentry/node-core. Test runner internals can change across major versions; re-verify the passed/skipped counting behavior against your installed Vitest version. A CI run reports the SAME failure count as a known-good baseline — "0 failed" both times — yet something is actually broken. The tell is buried in numbers nobody checks by default: the passed count

## Output

A JSON object containing the full text of the article explaining the Vitest collection-time failure bug, including details about how CI reports '0 failed' while the passed count reveals hidden skipped tests, verified against Vitest with testcontainers and the @sentry/node-core bundler boundary case as of 2026-08-07.
