I am writing vitest tests that need http access to files in the public folder, which will be under the base url at production. What is a good way to accomplish this? I was hoping to find a plugin that would accomplish this, but came up empty. I was thinking that I'd be able to configure vitest to set up and tear down a little server.
Feel free to beg the question - to suggest not using the public folder, for example, if that gets me somewhere.
This is an Astro app, and the code under test is client-only in production. The file is a 3MB parquet data file, and I'm using hyparquet to read it. Hyparquet uses ranged HTTP requests to read selected chunks of the file, which I am leveraging for performance. So I definitely DON'T want to bundle it or use some other API to fetch it.
