Python Testing Infrastructure Setup

Summary

This PR establishes a complete testing infrastructure for the Python project, providing all the necessary tools and configurations for developers to immediately start writing tests.

Changes Made

Package Management

  • Detected existing UV configuration in pyproject.toml
  • Added testing dependencies as optional dependencies:
    • pytest>=7.2 - Main testing framework
    • pytest-cov>=4.1.0 - Coverage reporting
    • pytest-mock>=3.12.0 - Mocking utilities

Testing Configuration

Added comprehensive testing configuration in pyproject.toml:

  • pytest settings:

    • Test discovery patterns for test_*.py and *_test.py files
    • Configured test paths to tests/ directory
    • Added custom markers: unit, integration, slow
    • Enabled strict marker validation
    • Set up verbose output and error reporting
  • Coverage settings:

    • Source directory set to src/
    • Branch coverage enabled
    • HTML and XML report generation
    • Coverage threshold currently set to 0% (should be updated to 80% once tests are written)
    • Excluded test files and common patterns from coverage

Directory Structure

Created organized testing structure:

tests/
├── __init__.py
├── conftest.py           # Shared fixtures
├── test_setup_validation.py  # Infrastructure validation
├── unit/
│   └── __init__.py
└── integration/
    └── __init__.py

Testing Fixtures

Implemented comprehensive fixtures in conftest.py:

  • temp_dir - Temporary directory management
  • temp_file - Temporary file creation
  • mock_config - Configuration dictionary for testing
  • mock_environment - Environment variable mocking
  • mock_logger - Logger mocking
  • sample_data - Sample data structures
  • mock_model - Model mocking with common methods
  • mock_file_system - Complete file system structure mocking
  • capture_stdout - Stdout capture for testing print statements
  • reset_singletons - Singleton instance reset between tests

Validation Tests

Created test_setup_validation.py to verify:

  • All testing dependencies are properly installed
  • Custom fixtures are working correctly
  • Test markers are recognized
  • Python version meets requirements
  • Source modules are importable

Additional Setup

  • Updated .gitignore to exclude:
    • .pytest_cache/
    • .coverage
    • htmlcov/
    • coverage.xml
    • .claude/*
  • Configured test commands accessible via standard pytest invocation

How to Run Tests

Install dependencies:

pip install -e ".[test]"  # or pip install -e ".[dev]"

Run all tests:

python -m pytest

Run with specific options:

# Run only unit tests
python -m pytest -m unit

# Run only integration tests  
python -m pytest -m integration

# Run without coverage
python -m pytest --no-cov

# Run specific test file
python -m pytest tests/test_setup_validation.py

# Run with maximum verbosity
python -m pytest -vv

View coverage report:

# After running tests, open HTML report
open htmlcov/index.html

Notes

  • The coverage threshold is currently set to 0% to allow the infrastructure to be set up without existing tests
  • Once actual tests are written, update --cov-fail-under=0 to --cov-fail-under=80 in pyproject.toml
  • The project uses UV for dependency management, which is already configured
  • All validation tests pass successfully, confirming the infrastructure is ready for use

Next Steps

Developers can now:

  1. Write unit tests in tests/unit/
  2. Write integration tests in tests/integration/
  3. Use the provided fixtures for common testing scenarios
  4. Run tests with coverage reporting to track progress

- Configured UV-based project with testing dependencies (pytest, pytest-cov, pytest-mock)
- Added pytest and coverage configuration in pyproject.toml
- Created test directory structure with unit/integration folders
- Implemented comprehensive pytest fixtures in conftest.py
- Added validation tests to verify infrastructure setup
- Updated .gitignore to exclude testing artifacts
- Set up test commands for easy test execution
