Verification Before Completion
No completion claims without fresh verification evidence.
Core Rule
Never say "done", "should work", "looks correct", or "this fixes it" without running the verification commands and showing the output.
Verification by Change Type
Schema Changes (openmetadata-spec/)
make generate
mvn test-compile -pl openmetadata-spec,openmetadata-service
source env/bin/activate && cd ingestion
python -c "from metadata.generated.schema.entity.services.connections.<module> import <Model>; print('OK')"
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui && yarn parse-schema
Java Backend Changes
mvn spotless:apply
mvn test-compile -pl <module>
mvn test -pl <module> -Dtest=<TestClass>
mvn verify -pl openmetadata-integration-tests -Dtest=<IntegrationTestClass>
Python Ingestion Changes
source env/bin/activate && cd ingestion
make py_format
make py_format_check
make static-checks
python -m pytest tests/unit/<relevant_test>.py -v
python -m pytest tests/unit/topology/<service_type>/ -v
Frontend Changes
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn lint
npx tsc --noEmit
yarn test <path/to/changed/component>
yarn playwright:run --grep "<relevant test>"
Evidence Format
When reporting completion, include:
## Verification Results
### Commands Run
1. `mvn spotless:apply` — completed, no formatting changes needed
2. `mvn test -pl openmetadata-service -Dtest=MyTest` — 5/5 tests passed
3. `yarn lint` — no errors
### Test Output
[paste relevant test output showing PASS]
What Counts as Evidence
- Test runner output showing PASS
- Build output showing SUCCESS
- Lint/format output showing no errors
- API response showing expected data
- Screenshot or description of UI rendering correctly
What Does NOT Count as Evidence
- "I reviewed the code and it looks correct"
- "This follows the same pattern as X, so it should work"
- "The logic is straightforward"
- "I've made similar changes before"
- No output at all — just claiming it's done
