gen-tests
Generate tests for changed code and run them.
Steps
- Scope the diff. Identify changed files and which submodule/language each belongs to:
git status --porcelain
git diff --name-only
- Generate tests in the right framework, matching the conventions already used in that submodule:
- Go (AgentCert, litmus-go, agent-sidecar): table-driven tests in
_test.go files using the standard testing package; mirror existing test style.
- Python (certifier, scripts):
pytest tests under the submodule's test dir; use fixtures consistent with the existing suite.
- TypeScript/JS (frontend): use the framework already configured in the frontend submodule.
- Cover the meaningful paths — new branches, error handling, edge cases — not just the happy path. Delegate complex generation to the
unit-test-generator agent if needed.
- Run the tests for the affected component:
- Go:
go test ./...
- Python:
pytest
- Frontend: the submodule's
yarn test / configured runner
- Report which tests were added and the pass/fail result. Do not claim success unless the tests actually ran and passed.
