# Test Configuration Refactoring - COMPLETED

## ✅ REFACTORING COMPLETE

**Date**: March 3, 2026  
**Status**: ✅ FULLY COMPLETED  
**Scope**: Eliminated shell script smell by moving test configuration to pyproject.toml

## Problem Solved

### ❌ **Before (Code Smell)**
- **Shell Script Dependency**: `run_all_tests.sh` alongside `pytest.ini`
- **Configuration Duplication**: Test settings split between files
- **CI Integration Issues**: CI workflows calling shell script instead of pytest directly
- **Maintenance Overhead**: Two separate files to maintain
- **Non-Standard**: Not following Python testing best practices

### ✅ **After (Clean Integration)**
- **Single Source of Truth**: All test configuration in `pyproject.toml`
- **Direct pytest Integration**: CI workflows call pytest directly
- **Standard Practice**: Follows Python testing best practices
- **Better Maintainability**: One file to maintain
- **Enhanced CI**: Comprehensive test workflows with proper categorization

## Changes Made

### ✅ **1. Consolidated pytest Configuration**

**Moved from `pytest.ini` to `pyproject.toml`:**
```toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
# Test discovery
python_files = ["test_*.py", "*_test.py"]
python_classes = ["Test*"]
python_functions = ["test_*"]

# Cache directory - prevent root level cache
cache_dir = "dev/cache/.pytest_cache"

# Test paths to run - include all test directories across the project
testpaths = [
    "tests",
    "apps/blockchain-node/tests",
    "apps/coordinator-api/tests",
    "apps/explorer-web/tests",
    "apps/pool-hub/tests",
    "apps/wallet-daemon/tests",
    "apps/zk-circuits/test",
    "cli/tests",
    "contracts/test",
    "packages/py/aitbc-crypto/tests",
    "packages/py/aitbc-sdk/tests",
    "packages/solidity/aitbc-token/test",
    "scripts/test"

    "apps/pool-hub/tests",
    "apps/explorer-web/src",
    "apps/explorer-web/tests",
    "cli",
    "cli/tests"
]

# Additional options for local testing
addopts = [
    "--verbose",
    "--tb=short",
    "--strict-markers",
    "--disable-warnings",
    "-ra"
]

# Custom markers
markers = [
    "unit: Unit tests (fast, isolated)",
    "integration: Integration tests (may require external services)",
    "slow: Slow running tests",
    "cli: CLI command tests",
    "api: API endpoint tests",
    "blockchain: Blockchain-related tests",
    "crypto: Cryptography tests",
    "contracts: Smart contract tests",

    "gpu: Tests requiring GPU resources",
    "confidential: Tests for confidential transactions",
    "multitenant: Multi-tenancy specific tests"
]

# Environment variables for tests
env = [
    "AUDIT_LOG_DIR=/tmp/aitbc-audit",
    "DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./test_coordinator.db",
    "TEST_MODE=true",
    "SQLITE_DATABASE=sqlite:///./test_coordinator.db"
]

# Warnings
filterwarnings = [
    "ignore::UserWarning",
    "ignore::DeprecationWarning",
    "ignore::PendingDeprecationWarning",
    "ignore::pytest.PytestUnknownMarkWarning",
    "ignore::pydantic.PydanticDeprecatedSince20",
    "ignore::sqlalchemy.exc.SADeprecationWarning"
]

# Asyncio configuration
asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"

# Import mode
import_mode = "append"
```

### ✅ **2. Updated CI Workflows**

**Updated `.github/workflows/ci.yml`:**
```yaml
- name: Test (pytest)
  run: poetry run pytest --cov=aitbc_cli --cov-report=term-missing --cov-report=xml

- name: Upload coverage to Codecov
  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
  with:
    file: ./coverage.xml
    flags: unittests
    name: codecov-umbrella
```

**Updated `.github/workflows/cli-tests.yml`:**
```yaml
- name: Run CLI tests
  run: |
    python -m pytest tests/cli/ -v --tb=short --disable-warnings --cov=aitbc_cli --cov-report=term-missing --cov-report=xml
```

### ✅ **3. Created Comprehensive Test Workflow**

**New `.github/workflows/comprehensive-tests.yml`:**
- **Unit Tests**: Fast, isolated tests across Python versions
