# Add Missing Solr Mocking to vendors_test.clj

## Problem Statement

All tests in vendors_test.clj are missing the `(with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl ...])` wrapper that accounts_test.clj uses consistently. This may cause:
1. Test failures if vendor operations trigger Solr indexing
2. Side effects between tests if Solr state leaks
3. Inconsistency with established testing patterns

## Findings

**From kieran-rails-reviewer:**
Lines 31-38, 40-53, 55-69, etc. are missing:
```clojure
(with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
  ...)
```

**accounts_test.clj pattern (every test):**
```clojure
(deftest account-creation-success
  (testing "Admin should be able to create..."
    (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
      (let [admin-identity (admin-token)
            result (sut/account-save ...)]
        ...))))
```

**Impact:**
- Tests may fail if Solr operations are triggered during vendor save/update
- Potential side effects between tests (shared Solr state)
- Violates test isolation principles

## Proposed Solutions

### Option A: Add Solr Wrapper to All Tests (Recommended)
**Effort:** Small (10 minutes)
**Risk:** Low

Wrap all test bodies with Solr mocking:
```clojure
(deftest vendor-fetch-ids-returns-correct-structure
  (testing "fetch-ids should return properly structured results"
    (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
      ;; Given: Setup test data
      (setup-test-data [(create-vendor "Test Vendor 1") ...])
      ...)))
```

**Pros:**
- Ensures test isolation
- Matches accounts_test.clj pattern exactly
- Prevents side effects between tests

**Cons:**
- Slightly more verbose test code
- Adds ~8 lines of boilerplate across all tests

### Option B: Verify Solr Not Needed
**Effort:** Small (10 minutes)
**Risk:** Medium

Research whether vendor operations actually use Solr:
1. Check if `sut/fetch-page`, `sut/fetch-ids`, `sut/hydrate-results`, or `sut/merge-submit` trigger Solr
2. Check vendors.clj for `solr/index-documents-raw` calls
3. Only add mocking if Solr is actually used

**Pros:**
- Avoids unnecessary code if Solr not used
- More targeted fix

**Cons:**
- Requires investigation
- Risk of missing edge cases
- Future changes could break tests

### Option C: Extract Solr Fixture
**Effort:** Medium (20 minutes)
**Risk:** Low

Create a test fixture for Solr mocking:
```clojure
(defn with-solr-mock [f]
  (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
    (f)))

(use-fixtures :each wrap-setup with-solr-mock)
```

**Pros:**
- Cleaner test code (no inline with-redefs)
- Reusable across test files
- Automatically applied to all tests

**Cons:**
- Adds global fixture (may affect tests that don't need it)
- New pattern not used in accounts_test.clj

## Recommended Action

**Go with Option A** - add explicit Solr mocking to each test. This:
1. Matches the established accounts_test.clj pattern
2. Makes dependencies explicit (clear which tests need Solr)
3. Provides immediate protection without global changes

## Technical Details

**Affected Tests:**
1. `vendor-grid-loads-with-empty-database` (lines 31-38)
2. `vendor-fetch-ids-returns-correct-structure` (lines 40-53)
3. `vendor-fetch-page-returns-vendors` (lines 55-69)
4. `vendor-hydrate-results-works` (lines 71-86)
5. `vendor-merge-transfers-references` (lines 92-117)
6. `vendor-merge-same-vendor-rejected` (lines 119-134)
7. `vendor-merge-invalid-vendor-handled` (lines 136-152)
8. `vendor-hydration-includes-all-fields` (lines 158-177)

**Verification:**
```bash
lein test auto-ap.ssr.admin.vendors-test  # Ensure all tests pass
```

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] All 8 tests wrapped with Solr mocking
- [ ] Pattern matches accounts_test.clj exactly
- [ ] Tests continue to pass
- [ ] Code formatted with lein cljfmt
