Testing Flows With Turbine

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: testing  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill to assert Flow emissions in tests with Cash App Turbine. Covers flow.test entry, ReceiveTurbine API (awaitItem, awaitComplete, awaitError, expectMostRecentItem, skipItems, expectNoEvents, cancel and friends, plus the non-suspending takeItem/takeComplete/takeError), turbineScope/testIn for multi-flow tests, the standalone Turbine<T> channel (add/close/asChannel/ensureAllEventsConsumed) for verifying non-Flow callbacks and listeners, the hot vs cold cancellation contract (StateFlow/SharedFlow never auto-complete), Turbine's wall-clock timeout decoupled from runTest virtual time, and the decision matrix between Turbine and raw flow.toList. If the user mentions Turbine, awaitItem, awaitComplete, expectMostRecentItem, takeItem, "test hangs on collect", "SharedFlow never completes", "StateFlow first emission", "TurbineAssertionError", "withTurbineTimeout", "Turbine() channel", "capture a callback in a test", or asserts a ViewModel's StateFlow/SharedFlow, use this skill.

About this skill (catalog notes)

From the source SKILL.md

Turbine is the canonical way to assert Flow emissions one-at-a-time, with built-in cancellation that prevents hot flows (StateFlow, SharedFlow) from hanging the test. This skill covers flow.test, the ReceiveTurbine API, turbineScope for multi-flow tests, and when raw flow.toList() actually beats Turbine. The non-Flow coroutine plumbing is ../testing-coroutines-with-runtest/SKILL.md.

What this skill does

Testing Flows With Turbine is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/testing-flows-with-turbine/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Testing Flows With Turbine Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 93,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Testing Flows With Turbine skill?
Use Testing Flows With Turbine when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the testing area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Testing Flows With Turbine" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Testing Flows With Turbine skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools).
