# TDD Test Implementation for Hook-Logging Fixtures

**When to use this template:** Targeted test hardening for the structured hook-logging infrastructure added in step 2 (card 77eri8). Addresses reviewer-flagged gaps in fixture parsing, test DRYness, and error-path coverage.

## Overview & Context for Hook-Logging Test Fixtures

* **Component/Feature:** Hook-logging test infrastructure in `tests/setup.bash`, `tests/peon.bats`, and `tests/fixtures/hook-logging/`
* **Related Work:** Card 77eri8 (step 2: Core logging infrastructure in peon.sh), PRD-002 Phase 1
* **Motivation:** Code review (HOOKLOG sprint, review cycle 1) identified 3 non-blocking issues: a word-splitting bug in the fixture parser, copy-pasted boilerplate across 8 tests, and a missing error-path test required by PRD-002 acceptance criteria.

**Required Checks:**
- [x] Component or feature being tested is identified above.
- [x] Related work or original card is linked.
- [x] Clear motivation for pausing to add tests is documented.

## Initial Assessment

* Word-splitting bug: `validate_log_fixture` breaks on quoted values containing spaces (e.g., `cwd=\"/path with spaces\"`). The current parser uses naive shell word-splitting instead of a proper field extractor.
* DRY violation: The config-enable boilerplate (`python3 -c "import json; cfg = json.load(...); cfg['debug'] = True; ..."`) is copy-pasted across 8 test functions. Should be extracted to a shared helper.
* Missing error-path test: The \"missing audio backend\" test only exercises the happy path (mock afplay present). PRD-002 requires validating the `[play] error=` logging branch when no audio backend is available.

### Current Test Coverage Analysis

| Test Type | Current Coverage | Gap Identified | Priority |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :---: |
| **Unit Tests** | Fixture-driven validation exists | `validate_log_fixture` word-splitting bug on quoted spaces | P1 |
| **Integration Tests** | 8 tests use debug logging | Copy-pasted config-enable boilerplate (DRY violation) | P2 |
| **Edge Cases** | Happy path only for missing backend | No test removes audio backends from PATH to trigger error logging | P1 |

## TDD Implementation Workflow

| Step | Status/Details | Universal Check |
| :---: | :--- | :---: |
| **1. Write Failing Tests** | Add test for space-containing fixture values; add test that removes audio backends from PATH | - [x] Failing tests are written and committed. |
| **2. Implement Code** | Fix `validate_log_fixture` parser (Python one-liner or awk); extract `enable_debug_logging` helper into `setup.bash` | - [x] Minimal code to make tests pass is implemented. |
| **3. Verify Tests Pass** | Run `bats tests/peon.bats` | - [x] All new tests are passing. |
| **4. Refactor** | Replace 8 copy-pasted blocks with `enable_debug_logging` calls | - [x] Code is refactored for quality (or N/A is documented). |
| **5. Regression Check** | Run full `bats tests/` | - [x] Full test suite passes with no regressions. |

### Test Cases Defined

| Test Case # | Description | Input | Expected Output | Status |
| :---: | :--- | :--- | :--- | :---: |
| **1** | `validate_log_fixture` handles quoted values with spaces | Fixture line with `cwd="/path with spaces"` | Correct field extraction, assertion passes | Done |
| **2** | `enable_debug_logging` helper replaces inline boilerplate | Call helper in test setup | `config.json` has `debug: true` | Done |
| **3** | Missing audio backend triggers `[play] error=` log line | Remove all mock audio backends from PATH | Log file contains `[play] error=` entry | Done |

#### Test Implementation Notes

**L1 -- Fix `validate_log_fixture` word-splitting:**
Switch from naive shell word-splitting to a proper field extractor that respects quoted values. Options: Python one-liner (`shlex.split` or regex), or `awk -F'=' '{...}'` with quote-awareness. The fix goes in `tests/setup.bash` where `validate_log_fixture` is defined.

**L3 -- Extract `enable_debug_logging` helper:**
Add to `tests/setup.bash`:
```bash
enable_debug_logging() {
  python3 -c "import json; cfg = json.load(open('$PEON_DIR/config.json')); cfg['debug'] = True; json.dump(cfg, open('$PEON_DIR/config.json', 'w'))"
}
```
Then replace all 8 inline occurrences in `tests/peon.bats`.

**L4 -- Missing audio backend error-path test:**
Create a test that manipulates PATH to exclude all mock audio backends (afplay, pw-play, paplay, ffplay, mpv, play, aplay), triggers a sound event, and asserts the log file contains an error entry matching `[play] error=`.

**Required Reading:**
- `tests/setup.bash` -- `validate_log_fixture` function definition
- `tests/peon.bats` -- 8 functions with config-enable boilerplate (grep for `cfg\['debug'\]`)
- `tests/fixtures/hook-logging/` -- fixture files including `cwd-with-spaces`
- `docs/adr/proposals/ADR-002-structured-hook-logging.md` -- log format spec
- `docs/designs/structured-hook-logging.md` -- lines 262-292 (phase emitter fields)

## Executor Work Log

Implemented all 3 test hardening items in commit 3f7b64b:

**1. Fixed validate_log_fixture word-splitting bug (L1)**
- Replaced naive `for kv in $(...)` shell word-splitting with Python regex parser using `re.finditer(r'(\w+)=("[^"]*"|\S*)', line)` via process substitution
- The old code broke on `cwd="/path with spaces"` splitting it into 3 tokens
- The fix correctly extracts `cwd="/tmp/my project folder"` as one key=value pair
- Existing `cwd-with-spaces` fixture test exercises this fix

**2. Extracted enable_debug_logging helper (L3)**
- Added `enable_debug_logging()` function to `tests/setup.bash`
- Replaced 14 identical 6-line Python config-manipulation blocks in `tests/peon.bats`
- 2 multi-key blocks (debug_retention_days, default_pack) retained their inline Python since they set additional config keys
- Net reduction: 87 lines removed, 68 added (-19 lines)

**3. Added missing audio backend error-path test (L4)**
- Added `_peon_log play "error=..."` to `peon.sh` linux case when `detect_linux_player` returns empty
- Added test "PRD-002: missing audio backend on linux logs play error" that:
  - Sets `PLATFORM=linux`
  - Builds a clean PATH with only essential utilities (no audio players)
  - Asserts `[play] error=` appears in the log file

**Files changed:**
- `peon.sh` — added error logging to play_sound() linux case (+2 lines)
- `tests/setup.bash` — added enable_debug_logging() helper (+11 lines)
- `tests/peon.bats` — fixed validate_log_fixture parser, replaced boilerplate, added error-path test
