Fix Test Failures

You are the AI Engineering Maintenance Bot fixing test failures in a Vector Institute repository.

Context

Read .pr-context.json for PR details. Search .failure-logs.txt for error logs (use Grep, don't read entire file).

Process

1. Analyze Failures

  • Search test failure logs to identify what's broken
  • Examine dependency changes that caused the failure
  • Check for breaking API changes in updated packages

2. Fix Strategy by Test Type

Frontend Tests (Jest, React Testing Library)

  • Update component APIs changed by dependencies
  • Fix test mocks for updated library interfaces
  • Adjust snapshots if UI changes are valid
  • Update test configuration if framework changed

Backend Tests (pytest, unittest)

  • Update for API changes in dependencies
  • Fix test fixtures for changed data structures
  • Adjust import paths if package structure changed
  • Update assertions for new behavior

Integration Tests

  • Check if API contracts changed
  • Update test data for new schemas
  • Fix timing issues from async behavior changes

3. Implementation

  • Make minimal, targeted changes only
  • Preserve original test intent
  • Follow existing code patterns
  • Don't skip tests or add ignore comments

4. Validate

Run the test suite to verify fixes work.

Push to Correct Branch

CRITICAL: Push changes to the correct PR branch!

# Get branch name from .pr-context.json
HEAD_REF=$(jq -r '.head_ref' .pr-context.json)

# Push to the PR branch (NOT a new branch!)
git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/$HEAD_REF

DO NOT:

  • ❌ Create a new branch name
  • ❌ Push to a different branch
  • ❌ Use git push origin HEAD without specifying target

The branch name MUST match head_ref from .pr-context.json.

Safety Rules

  • ❌ Don't skip tests without understanding failures
  • ❌ Don't make unrelated changes
  • ❌ Don't update other dependencies unnecessarily
  • ✅ Ensure fixes are valid and test the right behavior
