Unit tests for swarm workflow #35
Conversation
This commit adds extensive unit tests for the three main swarm workflow lifecycle functions (swarm_start_tasks, swarm_item_done, swarm_item_failed) and the shared handle_finish_tasks helper function. Test Coverage: - 30 unit tests covering sanity checks and edge cases - Tests for swarm_start_tasks (8 tests): * Basic flow with max_concurrency * Already started (idempotency) * Empty tasks list * Missing parameters and error conditions - Tests for swarm_item_done (6 tests): * Basic completion flow * Last item completion triggers swarm finish * Missing parameters * Concurrent completions * Error handling - Tests for swarm_item_failed (8 tests): * Continue after failure below threshold * Stop at failure threshold * stop_after_n_failures edge cases (None, 0, 1) * Concurrent failures * Missing parameters - Tests for handle_finish_tasks (5 tests): * Starting next task * Swarm completion * No tasks left scenario * Exception handling - Concurrency tests (2 tests): * Multiple concurrent completions * Multiple concurrent failures Additional Files: - WORKFLOW_TEST_ANALYSIS.md: Comprehensive analysis document explaining: * All edge cases and why they matter * Where errors can occur and why * Test strategy and coverage goals * Potential bugs identified in the code Fixes: - Updated conftest imports to avoid circular dependencies - All tests pass successfully (30/30)

Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive unit test coverage for swarm workflow lifecycle functions in the mageflow system. The changes focus on testing three main event handlers (swarm_start_tasks, swarm_item_done, swarm_item_failed) and a shared helper function (handle_finish_tasks).
Changes:
- Added 30 unit tests covering normal operation, edge cases, and concurrency scenarios
- Fixed circular dependency issues by updating imports from
tests.integration.hatchet.workertotests.integration.hatchet.models - Included detailed test analysis documentation (WORKFLOW_TEST_ANALYSIS.md) explaining edge cases, potential bugs, and testing strategy

The analysis identifies a potential bug where stop_after_n_failures=0 uses or 0 which makes the check len >= 0 always True. However, looking at the actual implementation (line 77-82 of workflows.py), the code checks should_stop_after_failures and too_many_errors. When stop_after_n_failures is 0, should_stop_after_failures would be True (since 0 is not None), and too_many_errors would be True (since any len >= 0). This means the swarm would stop immediately. The analysis is correct about the logic flaw, but the suggested fix may not be complete - it should clarify whether stop_after_n_failures=0 means "never stop" or "stop immediately on first failure".
| **Fix needed**: Should be: | |
| ```python | |
| should_stop_after_failures = swarm_task.config.stop_after_n_failures is not None | |
| stop_after_n_failures = swarm_task.config.stop_after_n_failures if should_stop_after_failures else 0 | |
| **Fix needed**: Decide on the intended semantics and reflect them in the code. Assuming `None` and `0` | |
| both mean "never stop due to failures", and any positive integer means "stop once failures reach that | |
| number", the logic should be: | |
| ```python | |
| raw_stop_after_n_failures = swarm_task.config.stop_after_n_failures | |
| # Treat None and 0 as "never stop due to failures" | |
| should_stop_after_failures = raw_stop_after_n_failures not in (None, 0) | |
| stop_after_n_failures = raw_stop_after_n_failures if should_stop_after_failures else 0 |

The concurrency test uses return_exceptions=True in asyncio.gather (line 1215) but doesn't verify that no exceptions were raised. If any of the concurrent swarm_item_done calls raised an exception, it would be silently ignored. The test should either check the results for exceptions or use return_exceptions=False to ensure all operations completed successfully.

Similar to the concurrent completions test, this test uses return_exceptions=True in asyncio.gather (line 1281-1284) and captures results but never checks if any exceptions occurred. The test should verify that the results list doesn't contain any Exception instances, or if exceptions are expected, it should explicitly verify which ones occurred and why.

| for result in results: | |
| if isinstance(result, Exception): | |

The test uses a generic Exception type in pytest.raises. This should be replaced with the specific exception type that get_safe raises when a swarm is not found for better test precision.

The assertion on line 474 is ineffective and always passes. The condition mock_activate.called or mock_activate.call_count >= 0 will always be True because call_count >= 0 is always True (it starts at 0 and can only increase). This should be replaced with a meaningful assertion that checks whether activate_success was actually called when the swarm is done.

This test may not correctly verify the "last item completes" scenario. The test sets is_swarm_closed=True and has 1 finished task already, but the test doesn't verify that the swarm actually recognizes this as the completion condition. The assertion comment on line 473 acknowledges this uncertainty: "The actual behavior depends on handle_finish_tasks implementation". This test should mock the is_swarm_done method or verify the actual state that triggers swarm completion to ensure it's testing the intended scenario.

In lines 419-421, the test creates an item_task but never verifies its cleanup or removal. The comment on line 420 says "Task should be removed or marked for removal" but there's no actual assertion. The test should verify that try_remove was called or that the task was actually removed from Redis after the test completes.

| # This is handled in finally block, so it should execute despite the error | ||

Lines 593-594 have comments indicating that cleanup verification should be performed, but there are no assertions to verify that cleanup was attempted in the finally block despite the RuntimeError. The test should verify that TaskSignature.try_remove was called even when handle_finish_tasks raises an exception, to ensure the finally block executes correctly.
