- Guide for adding or updating slime tests and CI wiring. Use when tasks require new test cases, CI registration, test matrix updates, or workflow template changes.
# Add Tests and CI
Add reliable tests and integrate them with slime CI flow.
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- User asks to add tests for new behavior
- User asks to fix or update existing tests in `tests/`
- User asks to update CI workflow behavior
- User asks how to run targeted checks before PR
## Step-by-Step Guide
### Step 1: Pick the Right Test Pattern
- Follow existing naming: `tests/test_<feature>.py`
- Start from nearest existing test file for your model/path
- Keep test scope small and behavior-focused
### Step 2: Keep CI Compatibility
- CI executes registered test files with `python tests/<file>.py`, not only pytest discovery. New CPU pytest files should include:
```python
import pytest
NUM_GPUS = 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
raise SystemExit(pytest.main([__file__]))
```
- `run-ci-changed` extracts a top-level `NUM_GPUS = <N>` constant from added/modified `tests/test_*.py` and `tests/plugin_contracts/test_*.py`; if missing, it defaults to 8 GPUs. Set `NUM_GPUS = 0` for CPU-only tests.
- For GPU/e2e tests, follow the nearby file pattern (`prepare()`, `execute()`, `NUM_GPUS`, and any model/dataset constants).
### Step 3: Register Tests in GitHub CI
Whenever adding, moving, or renaming a test file, update the GitHub workflow template before finishing:
1. Add the test to the appropriate matrix in `.github/workflows/pr-test.yml.j2`.
- CPU-only pytest/unit tests usually belong in `cpu-unittest` with `num_gpus: 0`.
- GPU/e2e tests should be placed beside the nearest similar model/path test with the matching `num_gpus` and environment fields.
2. Regenerate workflows:
```bash
python .github/workflows/generate_github_workflows.py
```
3. Include both `.github/workflows/pr-test.yml.j2` and the generated `.github/workflows/pr-test.yml` in the change set.
Only skip fixed matrix registration when the test is intentionally helper-only or manually invoked; state that reason in the final response.
### Step 4: Run Local Validation
- Run the exact existing test files you changed, if any.
- For new registered tests, run the same shape CI will use, for example `python tests/test_new_file.py`.
- Run repository-wide checks only when they are already part of the task or workflow.
- Avoid documenting placeholder test commands that may not exist in the current tree.
### Step 5: Keep Workflow Template as Source of Truth
For CI workflow changes unrelated to a new, moved, or renamed test:
1. Edit `.github/workflows/pr-test.yml.j2`
2. Regenerate workflows:
```bash
python .github/workflows/generate_github_workflows.py
```
3. Include both the template and generated workflow file in the change set (`.j2` and `.yml`). If the user asked for a commit, commit both.
### Step 6: Provide Verifiable PR Notes
Include:
- Which tests were added/changed
- Where each new/renamed test was registered in `.github/workflows/pr-test.yml.j2`
- Exact commands executed
- GPU assumptions for each test path
- Why this coverage protects against regression
## Common Mistakes
- Editing generated workflow file only
- Relying on `run-ci-changed` discovery for a new test that should run in the regular PR matrix
- Forgetting `NUM_GPUS = 0` on a CPU-only changed test, causing `run-ci-changed` to default to 8 GPUs
- Adding a CPU pytest file that passes under `pytest tests/foo.py` but fails under CI's `python tests/foo.py`
- Adding tests without following existing constants/conventions
- Making tests too large or non-deterministic
- Skipping local validation and relying only on remote CI
