Contract Tests vs Unit Tests
| Type | Location | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Tests | tests/contract/channels/ |
Verify external interface compatibility | ✅ 128 tests, CI hard gate |
| Unit Tests | tests/unit/channels/ |
Verify internal logic correctness | ✅ 1200+ tests, CI enforcement |
Both test types are required to pass in CI.
Unit Test Coverage by Channel
| Channel | Test Count | Lines | Complexity | Status |

| BaseChannel (Core) | 68 | 1,390 | Core Logic | ✅ Complete |
| DingTalk | 159 | 3,708 | High | ✅ Complete |
| Feishu | 120 | 2,652 | High | ✅ Complete |
| 116 | 2,096 | High | ✅ Complete | |
| Telegram | 93 | 1,798 | Medium-High | ✅ Complete |
| Mattermost | 82 | 1,990 | Medium-High | ✅ Complete |
| 78 | 1,617 | Medium | ✅ Complete | |
| Wecom | 69 | 1,504 | Medium | ✅ Complete |
| Base (test_base_core.py) | 68 | 1,390 | Core | ✅ Complete |
| Console | 26 | 567 | Simple | ✅ Complete |
| Xiaoyi | 57 | 1,219 | Medium | ✅ Complete |
| Discord | 55 | 945 | Medium | ✅ Complete |

Local Development
# Run all contract tests (required)
pytest tests/contract/channels/ -v
# Run all unit tests
pytest tests/unit/channels/ -v
# Run specific Channel unit tests
pytest tests/unit/channels/test_dingtalk.py -v
pytest tests/unit/channels/test_feishu.py -v
# Run with coverage
pytest tests/unit/channels/ \
--cov=src/copaw/app/channels \
--cov-report=term-missing
# Check contract coverage status
make check-contracts
Adding New Channel Tests
For Contract Tests
All Channels already have contract tests. To add a new Channel:
# 1. Copy the official template
cp tests/contract/channels/test_console_contract.py \
tests/contract/channels/test_yourchannel_contract.py
# 2. Modify class name and create_instance()
# 3. Local verification
make check-contracts # Should show your Channel in tested list
For Unit Tests
Create a new test file following the existing pattern:
# tests/unit/channels/test_yourchannel.py
"""Unit tests for YourChannel implementation."""
import pytest
from src.copaw.app.channels.your_channel import YourChannel
class TestYourChannel:
"""Test suite for YourChannel."""
def test_initialization(self):
"""Test channel can be initialized."""
channel = YourChannel()
assert channel is not None
def test_start_stop(self):
"""Test channel lifecycle."""
# Implementation here
pass
# Add more tests...
CI/CD Integration
All tests run in the CI pipeline with the following gates:
| Phase | Test Type | Threshold | Gate Type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Contract Tests | 100% (128/128) | 🔴 Hard Gate | ⚠️ Temporarily skipped (Pydantic issue) |
| 2 | Unit Tests | All must pass | 🔴 Hard Gate | ✅ Active |
| 3 | Coverage | Minimum threshold | 🟡 Soft Gate | ✅ Non-blocking with warnings |
Hard Gate: Failure blocks PR merge
Soft Gate: Warning only, non-blocking (continue-on-error)
Four-Layer Protection (Contract Tests)
Layer 1: Abstract Method Check
├── test_no_abstract_methods_remaining
└── Catches: BaseChannel adds @abstractmethod
Layer 2: Instantiation Check
├── test_no_abstractmethods__in_instance
└── Catches: Cannot create instance (unimplemented methods)
Layer 3: Method Override Check
├── test_required_methods_not_raising_not_implemented
└── Catches: Method still raises NotImplementedError
Layer 4: Signature Compatibility Check
├── test_start_method_signature_compatible
├── test_stop_method_signature_compatible
├── test_resolve_session_id_signature_compatible
└── Catches: Method signature changes break subclasses
Current Status
📊 Channel Contract Test Coverage
Total Channels: 11
With Contract Tests: 12
Missing: 0
Contract Tests: 128 passing
📊 Channel Unit Test Coverage
Total Channels: 11
With Unit Tests: 11
Missing: 0
Unit Tests: 1,200+ passing
✅ All Channels fully covered:
ConsoleChannel, DingTalkChannel, FeishuChannel,
DiscordChannel, IMessageChannel, MQTTChannel,
MatrixChannel, MattermostChannel, QQChannel,
TelegramChannel, VoiceChannel
🎉 Zero missing tests - both contract and unit tests complete!
Core Principles
- Contract tests are primary - Must pass in CI (hard gate)
- Unit tests are required - Must pass in CI (hard gate)
- All Channels have full coverage - Both contract and unit tests
- Four-layer protection - Effective prevention against "fix Console breaks DingTalk"
- Breaking tests = blocking PR - CI gates ensure quality
