Framework

  • pytest with rich output
  • Pre-commit hook runs full suite on every commit

    • Test Structure for Extensions (proven 8-section pattern)

    1. TestPluginRegistration — verify name, all capabilities in registry (use `in` not `len ==`) 2. TestEntryType — defaults, to_frontmatter, from_frontmatter, roundtrip_markdown 3. TestValidators — one test per rule (positive + negative), test ignores-other-types 4. TestHooks — direct call + registry.run_hooks tests 5. TestWorkflows — each transition allowed/blocked, requires_reason 6. TestDBTables — definition checks + actual SQLite creation in tmpdir 7. TestPreset — structure, directories, validation rules 8. TestCoreIntegration — entry_class_resolution, entry_from_frontmatter, multi-plugin coexistence

    Key Rules

  • Use `in` checks not exact counts for registry assertions (other installed plugins affect counts)
  • Each test class should create a fresh PluginRegistry to avoid cross-test contamination
  • Use try/finally when patching `reg_module._registry` to guarantee restoration
