From 899c53550dc2c054b00f2060c4a43dd6741c6fa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hongming Wang Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 14:52:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test(mcp): comprehensive coverage for send_message_to_user persistence + AST gate (reno-stars followup) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Per user request: audit all similar tools + write comprehensive tests including E2E for the persistence-of-AGENT_MESSAGE-broadcasts contract. Audit (all BroadcastOnly call sites in workspace-server/internal/): | Site | Event | Persisted? | Notes | |---|---|:---:|---| | a2a_proxy_helpers.go:275 | A2A_RESPONSE | ✓ | LogActivity above | | activity.go:486 (Notify) | AGENT_MESSAGE | ✓ | INSERT line 535 | | activity.go:701 (LogActivity) | ACTIVITY_LOGGED | ✓ | self-emits inside DB write | | mcp_tools.go:341 (toolSendMessageToUser) | AGENT_MESSAGE | ✓ NEW (this PR) | | registry.go:575 | TASK_UPDATED | N/A | transient progress, not chat | | registry.go:596 | WORKSPACE_HEARTBEAT | N/A | infra ping, not chat | Only one chat-bearing broadcast was missing persistence (the just- fixed mcp bridge path). No other regressions found. Tests added (4 new, total 5 send_message_to_user tests): 1. TestAgentMessageBroadcastsArePersisted — AST gate that walks every non-test .go in the package, finds funcs that BroadcastOnly with "AGENT_MESSAGE", asserts each ALSO contains an "INSERT INTO activity_logs". Forward-looking regression block: any future chat tool that broadcasts without persisting fails the test with a clear file:func diagnostic. Mutation-tested locally: removing the INSERT block from toolSendMessageToUser reliably produces the expected failure. 2. TestMCPHandler_SendMessageToUser_DBErrorLogsAndStill200s — pins the "best-effort persistence" contract. DB INSERT failures must NOT abort the tool response (the WS broadcast already succeeded; retrying would double-render in the live chat). Matches /notify. 3. TestMCPHandler_SendMessageToUser_ResponseBodyShape — pins the exact `{"result": ""}` JSON shape stored in response_body. The canvas hydrater (extractResponseText in historyHydration.ts) reads body.result; any drift here silently breaks chat history without failing the INSERT. Per memory feedback_assert_exact_not_substring.md, asserts the literal JSON shape, not a substring. 4. TestMCPHandler_SendMessageToUser_PersistsToActivityLog (existing, from previous commit) — pins INSERT shape with regex on 'a2a_receive' + 'notify' literals. 5. TestMCPHandler_SendMessageToUser_Blocked_WhenEnvNotSet (existing) — env-gate aborts before DB. Test fixture cleanup: newMCPHandler now uses newTestBroadcaster (real ws.Hub) instead of events.NewBroadcaster(nil) — the latter nil-panics inside hub.Broadcast on the AGENT_MESSAGE path. Same broadcaster shape every other handler test uses. E2E note: the AST gate is the strongest forward-looking guarantee. A real-DB integration test would add value for CI but is largely duplicative of the sqlmock contract tests above (sqlmock pins SQL shape with much faster feedback). Left as a future enhancement when the handlers Postgres-integration suite extends MCP coverage.
