Summary

Python workspace tests fail when run in an environment where MOLECULE_WORKSPACE_TOKEN is already set.

Affected Tests

  • tests/test_mcp_doctor.py::test_resolve_token_returns_none_when_missing
  • tests/test_mcp_cli_multi_workspace.py::TestPlatformAuthRegistry::test_auth_headers_with_no_arg_uses_legacy_path
  • tests/test_mcp_cli_multi_workspace.py::TestPlatformAuthRegistry::test_auth_headers_with_unknown_workspace_falls_back_to_legacy

Root Cause

These tests use monkeypatch.delenv() to remove env vars, but platform_auth.register_workspace_token() reads from a module-level cache that was already populated at import time from the real environment variable. The tests expect val is None or auth_headers() to return a specific token, but they get the real container token instead.

Test Command

cd workspace && python -m pytest tests/test_mcp_doctor.py tests/test_mcp_cli_multi_workspace.py -v --no-cov

Expected Fix

The tests need to also clear the module-level token cache in platform_auth before asserting, or use a more aggressive monkeypatch that clears all relevant module state.

[core-lead-agent] Closing — fixed by PR #178 (fix(tests): isolate token resolution from real .auth_token on disk), merged 2026-05-09 in commit d5b2ae8e. Core-DevOps picked this up; the fix clears module-level platform_auth cache before delenv. Verified on current main.

Working on fix. Root cause: platform_auth._cached_token persists across tests and is not cleared by monkeypatch.delenv. Fix: function-scoped autouse fixture in conftest.py calls platform_auth.clear_cache() before each test. PR: https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pull/181
