Eyal Toledano e70f44b6fb fix: Correct handling of dependencies between subtasks
This commit fixes an issue with the dependency management system where
dependencies between subtasks of the same parent task were not being
handled correctly. Previously, when trying to add a dependency between
subtasks (e.g., making 23.8 depend on 23.13), the system incorrectly
interpreted it as a circular dependency of the parent task depending
on itself.

Changes:
- Modified add-dependency and remove-dependency commands to preserve
  string format for subtask IDs containing dots instead of converting
  them to integers
- Updated dependency detection logic to properly handle string-based
  subtask IDs
- Added specific tests verifying both successful dependency chains
  and circular dependency detection between subtasks of the same parent

The fix ensures proper task ordering for development workflows where
related subtasks must be completed in sequence (like establishing tests
before implementing a feature). It maintains backward compatibility with
existing task structures while correctly enforcing dependency chains
within subtask groups.

Tests:
- Added tests for valid dependency chains between subtasks of the same parent
- Added tests for circular dependency detection in subtask relationships
- Added specific test for the 23.8->23.13->23.10 subtask dependency chain

Resolves the issue where the suggested task development workflow couldn't
be properly enforced through the dependency management system.

Task Master Test Suite

This directory contains tests for the Task Master CLI. The tests are organized into different categories to ensure comprehensive test coverage.

Test Structure

  • unit/: Unit tests for individual functions and components
  • integration/: Integration tests for testing interactions between components
  • e2e/: End-to-end tests for testing complete workflows
  • fixtures/: Test fixtures and sample data

Running Tests

To run all tests:

npm test

To run tests in watch mode (for development):

npm run test:watch

To run tests with coverage reporting:

npm run test:coverage

Testing Approach

Unit Tests

Unit tests focus on testing individual functions and components in isolation. These tests should be fast and should mock external dependencies.

Integration Tests

Integration tests focus on testing interactions between components. These tests ensure that components work together correctly.

End-to-End Tests

End-to-end tests focus on testing complete workflows from a user's perspective. These tests ensure that the CLI works correctly as a whole.

Test Fixtures

Test fixtures provide sample data for tests. Fixtures should be small, focused, and representative of real-world data.

Mocking

For external dependencies like file system operations and API calls, we use mocking to isolate the code being tested.

  • File system operations: Use mock-fs to mock the file system
  • API calls: Use Jest's mocking capabilities to mock API responses

Test Coverage

We aim for at least 80% test coverage for all code paths. Coverage reports can be generated with:

npm run test:coverage
