Fly.io E2E Integration Test Skill
Deploy a fresh dspy-cli project to Fly.io using your local code changes, run full integration tests (health, auth, LLM execution), and guarantee cleanup regardless of success or failure.
⚠️ CRITICAL RULES
- NEVER commit directly to main - Always create a side branch first, even for small changes
- ALWAYS clean up - Destroy Fly apps and delete temp branches, even if tests fail
- Use temp branches - Name them
e2e-test/{timestamp}-{random} for easy identification
Prerequisites
- fly CLI: Installed and authenticated (
fly auth whoami)
- OPENAI_API_KEY: In environment or
.env file
- Git: Clean working directory (stash uncommitted changes first)
- Git push access: Ability to push to origin
Quick Start
Run each phase in a tmux session to enable output capture and cleanup tracking.
Phase 1: Setup Environment
tmux new-session -d -s e2e-fly -c /Users/isaac/projects/dspy-cli
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export DSPY_CLI_DIR="/Users/isaac/projects/dspy-cli"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export RANDOM_SUFFIX=$(head -c 4 /dev/urandom | xxd -p)' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export FLY_APP_NAME="dspy-e2e-${RANDOM_SUFFIX}"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export TEMP_BRANCH="e2e-test/${TIMESTAMP}-${RANDOM_SUFFIX}"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'set -a && source .env && set +a' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'echo "App: $FLY_APP_NAME Branch: $TEMP_BRANCH"' C-m
Phase 2: Pre-flight Checks
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly version && fly auth whoami' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git status --porcelain' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly apps list 2>/dev/null | grep "dspy-e2e" || echo "No orphaned apps"' C-m
Phase 3: Create and Push Temp Branch
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git checkout -b "$TEMP_BRANCH"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git push -u origin "$TEMP_BRANCH"' C-m
Phase 4: Create Test Project
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export TEST_DIR=$(mktemp -d) && echo "TEST_DIR=$TEST_DIR"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'uv run --directory "$DSPY_CLI_DIR" dspy-cli new fly-e2e-test --program-name qa_module --signature "question:str -> answer:str" --module-type Predict --model openai/gpt-4o-mini' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'Y' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'mv "$DSPY_CLI_DIR/fly-e2e-test" "$TEST_DIR/" && cd "$TEST_DIR/fly-e2e-test"' C-m
Phase 5: Modify for Git-Based dspy-cli
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'sed -i.bak "s|\"dspy-cli\"|\"dspy-cli @ git+https://github.com/cmpnd-ai/dspy-cli.git@$TEMP_BRANCH\"|" pyproject.toml' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'cat > Dockerfile << '"'"'EOF'"'"'

Phase 6: Create fly.toml and Deploy
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'cat > fly.toml << EOF
app = '"'"'$FLY_APP_NAME'"'"'
primary_region = '"'"'ewr'"'"'

cpu_kind = '"'"'shared'"'"'
cpus = 1
EOF' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly apps create "$FLY_APP_NAME" --org personal' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export DSPY_API_KEY_VALUE="test-e2e-$(head -c 8 /dev/urandom | xxd -p)"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" DSPY_API_KEY="$DSPY_API_KEY_VALUE" --app "$FLY_APP_NAME"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly deploy --app "$FLY_APP_NAME" --wait-timeout 300' C-m
Phase 7: Run Integration Tests
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'export FLY_APP_URL="https://$FLY_APP_NAME.fly.dev"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'echo "=== Test 1: Health Check ===" && curl -s "$FLY_APP_URL/health"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'echo "=== Test 2: Auth Redirect ===" && curl -s -o /dev/null -w "HTTP: %{http_code}\n" "$FLY_APP_URL/programs"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'echo "=== Test 3: Auth Success ===" && curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $DSPY_API_KEY_VALUE" "$FLY_APP_URL/programs"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'echo "=== Test 4: LLM Execution ===" && curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $DSPY_API_KEY_VALUE" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '"'"'{"question": "What is 2+2?"}'"'"' "$FLY_APP_URL/QaModulePredict"' C-m
Phase 8: Guaranteed Cleanup
ALWAYS run cleanup, even if tests fail:
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'fly apps destroy "$FLY_APP_NAME" --yes' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git -C "$DSPY_CLI_DIR" push origin --delete "$TEMP_BRANCH"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git -C "$DSPY_CLI_DIR" checkout main' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'git -C "$DSPY_CLI_DIR" branch -D "$TEMP_BRANCH"' C-m
tmux send-keys -t e2e-fly 'rm -rf "$TEST_DIR"' C-m
tmux kill-session -t e2e-fly
Verification Checklist
| Test | Expected Result |
|---|
| Health Check | {"status":"ok"} |
| Auth Redirect (no auth) | HTTP 303 |
| Auth Success (Bearer token) | JSON with QaModulePredict |
| LLM Execution | JSON with "answer" field |
Cleanup Verification
After running cleanup, verify:
fly apps list | grep "dspy-e2e" || echo "Clean"
git branch -r | grep "e2e-test/" || echo "Clean"
Troubleshooting
Deploy fails with "Git executable not found"
The Dockerfile must include git installation. Ensure the Dockerfile has:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
pyproject.toml sed command doesn't expand variables
Use double quotes for the sed command, not single quotes:
sed -i.bak "s|...|...@$TEMP_BRANCH\"|" pyproject.toml
sed -i.bak 's|...|...|' pyproject.toml
Project created in wrong directory
dspy-cli new creates projects relative to the current working directory, not where it's run from. Move the project after creation:
mv "$DSPY_CLI_DIR/fly-e2e-test" "$TEST_DIR/"
Cleanup fails
If any cleanup step fails, run them individually:
fly apps destroy "dspy-e2e-XXXX" --yes
git push origin --delete "e2e-test/XXXX"
git checkout main
git branch -D "e2e-test/XXXX"
App crashes due to missing environment variables
Use fly secrets to set any required env vars. Check the app logs to see which vars are missing:
fly logs --app "$FLY_APP_NAME" --no-tail
fly secrets set VAR_NAME="value" ANOTHER_VAR="value" --app "$FLY_APP_NAME"
fly secrets list --app "$FLY_APP_NAME"
Common env vars that might be needed:
OPENAI_API_KEY - Required for OpenAI models
DSPY_API_KEY - Required when --auth is enabled
- Project-specific vars (check your gateway's
setup() method)
Multi-Layer Cleanup Protection
- Unique naming:
dspy-e2e-{random} prevents conflicts
- Pre-test orphan cleanup: Removes stale resources before starting
- tmux session: Enables output capture and manual recovery
- Explicit cleanup phase: Always runs after tests
- Verification commands: Confirm cleanup succeeded
