test-fixing

• Explicitly asks to fix tests ("fix these tests", "make tests pass")
• Reports test failures ("tests are failing", "test suite is broken")
• Completes implementation and wants tests passing
• Mentions CI/CD failures due to tests

1. Initial Test Run

Run make test to identify all failing tests.

Analyze output for:

• Total number of failures
• Error types and patterns
• Affected modules/files

2. Smart Error Grouping

Group similar failures by:

• Error type: ImportError, AttributeError, AssertionError, etc.
• Module/file: Same file causing multiple test failure
• Root cause: Missing dependencies, API changes, refactoring impacts

Prioritize groups by:

• Number of affected tests (highest impact first)
• Dependency order (fix infrastructure before functionality)

3. Systematic Fixing Process

For each group (starting with highest impact):

1. Identify root cause

- Read relevant code

- Check recent changes with git diff

- Understand the error pattern

1. Implement fix

- Use Edit tool for code changes

- Follow project conventions (see CLAUDE.md)

- Make minimal, focused changes

1. Verify fix

- Run subset of tests for this group

- Use pytest markers or file patterns:

```bash

uv run pytest tests/path/to/test_file.py -v

uv run pytest -k "pattern" -v

```

- Ensure group passes before moving on

1. Move to next group

4. Fix Order Strategy

Infrastructure first:

• Import errors
• Missing dependencies
• Configuration issues

Then API changes:

• Function signature changes
• Module reorganization
• Renamed variables/functions

Finally, logic issues:

• Assertion failures
• Business logic bugs
• Edge case handling

5. Final Verification

After all groups fixed:

• Run complete test suite: make test
• Verify no regressions
• Check test coverage remains intact

• Fix one group at a time
• Run focused tests after each fix
• Use git diff to understand recent changes
• Look for patterns in failures
• Don't move to next group until current passes
• Keep changes minimal and focused

User: "The tests are failing after my refactor"

1. Run make test → 15 failures identified
2. Group errors:

- 8 ImportErrors (module renamed)

- 5 AttributeErrors (function signature changed)

- 2 AssertionErrors (logic bugs)

1. Fix ImportErrors first → Run subset → Verify
2. Fix AttributeErrors → Run subset → Verify
3. Fix AssertionErrors → Run subset → Verify
4. Run full suite → All pass ✓
