From 92e7bdd342b2813de14c027ff036f1f352a0fec4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Skentelbery Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 09:24:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(tests): Phase 0 - Fix flaky and broken tests MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements Phase 0 of v1.5.0 per ADR-012 and RELEASE.md. Changes: - Remove 5 broken multiprocessing tests (TestConcurrentExecution, TestPerformance) - Fix brittle XML assertion tests (check semantics not quote style) - Fix test_debug_level_for_early_retries logger configuration - Rename test_feed_route_streaming to test_feed_route_caching (correct name) Results: - Test count: 879 → 874 (5 removed as planned) - All tests pass consistently (verified across 3 runs) - No flakiness detected References: - ADR-012: Flaky Test Removal and Test Quality Standards - docs/projectplan/v1.5.0/RELEASE.md Phase 0 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- ...025-12-16-phase-0-implementation-report.md | 120 +++++++++++++ tests/test_migration_race_condition.py | 158 ++---------------- tests/test_routes_feed.py | 2 +- tests/test_routes_feeds.py | 14 +- 4 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/design/v1.5.0/2025-12-16-phase-0-implementation-report.md diff --git a/docs/design/v1.5.0/2025-12-16-phase-0-implementation-report.md b/docs/design/v1.5.0/2025-12-16-phase-0-implementation-report.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9f85203 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/design/v1.5.0/2025-12-16-phase-0-implementation-report.md @@ -0,0 +1,120 @@ +# Phase 0 Implementation Report - Test Fixes + +**Date**: 2025-12-16 +**Developer**: Developer Agent +**Phase**: v1.5.0 Phase 0 - Test Fixes +**Status**: Complete + +## Overview + +Successfully implemented Phase 0 of v1.5.0 as specified in ADR-012 (Flaky Test Removal) and the v1.5.0 RELEASE.md.
