# P0-R3 Feature Test Coverage Plan

## Executive Summary

This document outlines comprehensive test coverage for the P0-R3 feature (Template-based Configuration Examples). The feature adds real-world configuration examples from popular templates to node search and essentials tools.

**Feature Overview:**
- New database table: `template_node_configs` (197 pre-extracted configurations)
- Enhanced tools: `search_nodes({includeExamples: true})` and `get_node_essentials({includeExamples: true})`

## Existing Tests Requiring Updates

### High Priority

#### 1. `tests/unit/mcp/parameter-validation.test.ts`
**Line 480:** Remove `get_node_for_task` from legacyValidationTools array

```typescript
// REMOVE THIS:
{ name: 'get_node_for_task', args: {}, expected: 'Missing required parameters for get_node_for_task: task' },
```

**Status:** ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE - Tool removed

---

#### 2. `tests/unit/mcp/tools.test.ts`
**Update:** Remove `get_node_for_task` from templates category

```typescript
// BEFORE:
templates: ['list_tasks', 'get_node_for_task', 'search_templates', ...]

// AFTER:
templates: ['list_tasks', 'search_templates', ...]
```

**Add:** Tests for new includeExamples parameter in tool definitions

```typescript
it('should have includeExamples parameter in search_nodes', () => {
  const searchNodesTool = tools.find(t => t.name === 'search_nodes');
  expect(searchNodesTool.inputSchema.properties.includeExamples).toBeDefined();
  expect(searchNodesTool.inputSchema.properties.includeExamples.type).toBe('boolean');
  expect(searchNodesTool.inputSchema.properties.includeExamples.default).toBe(false);
});

it('should have includeExamples parameter in get_node_essentials', () => {
  const essentialsTool = tools.find(t => t.name === 'get_node_essentials');
  expect(essentialsTool.inputSchema.properties.includeExamples).toBeDefined();
});
```

**Status:** ⚠️ REQUIRED UPDATE

---

#### 3. `tests/integration/mcp-protocol/session-management.test.ts`
**Remove:** Test case calling `get_node_for_task` with invalid task

```typescript
// REMOVE THIS TEST:
client.callTool({ name: 'get_node_for_task', arguments: { task: 'invalid_task' } }).catch(e => e)
```

**Status:** ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE

---

#### 4. `tests/integration/mcp-protocol/tool-invocation.test.ts`
**Remove:** Entire `get_node_for_task` describe block

**Add:** Tests for new includeExamples functionality

```typescript
describe('search_nodes with includeExamples', () => {
  it('should return examples when includeExamples is true', async () => {
    const response = await client.callTool({
      name: 'search_nodes',
      arguments: { query: 'webhook', includeExamples: true }
    });

    expect(response.results).toBeDefined();
    // Examples may or may not be present depending on database
  });

  it('should not return examples when includeExamples is false', async () => {
    const response = await client.callTool({
      name: 'search_nodes',
      arguments: { query: 'webhook', includeExamples: false }
    });

    expect(response.results).toBeDefined();
    response.results.forEach(node => {
      expect(node.examples).toBeUndefined();
    });
  });
});

describe('get_node_essentials with includeExamples', () => {
  it('should return examples with metadata when includeExamples is true', async () => {
    const response = await client.callTool({
      name: 'get_node_essentials',
      arguments: { nodeType: 'nodes-base.webhook', includeExamples: true }
    });

    expect(response.nodeType).toBeDefined();
    // Examples may or may not be present depending on database
  });
});
```

**Status:** ⚠️ REQUIRED UPDATE

---

### Medium Priority

#### 5. `tests/unit/services/task-templates.test.ts`
**Status:** ✅ No changes needed (TaskTemplates marked as deprecated but not removed)

**Note:** TaskTemplates remains for backward compatibility. Tests should continue to pass.

## Test Infrastructure

### Dependencies Required
All dependencies already present in `package.json`:
- vitest (test runner)
- better-sqlite3 (database)
- @vitest/coverage-v8 (coverage)

### Test Utilities Used
- TestDatabase helper (from existing test utils)
- createTestDatabaseAdapter (from existing test utils)

## Regression Prevention

### Critical Paths Protected

1. **Backward Compatibility**
   - Tools work without includeExamples parameter
   - Existing workflows unchanged
   - Cache keys differentiated

2. **Performance**
   - No degradation when includeExamples=false
   - Indexed queries <10ms
   - Example fetch errors don't break responses

3. **Data Integrity**
   - Foreign key constraints enforced
   - JSON validation in all fields
   - Rank calculations correct

---

## CI/CD Integration

### GitHub Actions Updates
No changes required. Existing test commands will run new tests:

```yaml
- run: npm test
- run: npm run test:coverage
```

### Coverage Thresholds
Current thresholds maintained. Expected improvements:
- Lines: +2%
- Functions: +3%
- Branches: +2%

---

## Manual Testing Checklist

### Pre-Deployment Verification

- [ ] Run `npm run rebuild` - Verify migration applies cleanly
- [ ] Run `npm run fetch:templates --extract-only` - Verify extraction works
- [ ] Check database: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM template_node_configs` - Should be ~197
- [ ] Test MCP tool: `search_nodes({query: "webhook", includeExamples: true})`
- [ ] Test MCP tool: `get_node_essentials({nodeType: "nodes-base.webhook", includeExamples: true})`
- [ ] Verify backward compatibility: Tools work without includeExamples parameter
- [ ] Performance test: Query 100 nodes with examples < 200ms

---

## Rollback Plan

If issues are detected:

1. **Database Rollback:**
   ```sql
   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS template_node_configs;
   DROP VIEW IF EXISTS ranked_node_configs;
   ```

2. **Code Rollback:**
   - Revert server.ts changes
   - Revert tools.ts changes
   - Restore get_node_for_task tool (if critical)

3. **Test Rollback:**
   - Revert parameter-validation.test.ts
   - Revert tools.test.ts
   - Revert tool-invocation.test.ts
