Setting Up Development Environment

1. Clone and setup:

   git clone https://github.com/ryancheley/MyGH.git
   cd MyGH
   uv sync --dev
   

2. Run tests:

   uv run pytest
   

3. Code formatting and linting:

   uv run ruff check
   uv run ruff format
   uv run mypy src/
   

4. Install in development mode:

   uv sync
   

Running Tests

MyGH includes a comprehensive test suite with 97% code coverage that exceeds industry standards:

# Run all tests
uv run pytest

# Run with coverage reporting
uv run pytest --cov=src/mygh --cov-report=term-missing

# Run tests with coverage requirement (95%+)
uv run pytest --cov=src/mygh --cov-fail-under=95

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/test_api_client.py

# Run tests with verbose output
uv run pytest -v

# Generate HTML coverage report
uv run pytest --cov=src/mygh --cov-report=html

Multi-Python Testing with Tox

MyGH supports Python 3.10 through Python 3.14 (beta) and uses tox for comprehensive testing across all versions:

# Install tox (if not already installed)
uv sync --dev

# Test across all Python versions (3.10-3.14)
uv run tox

# Test specific Python version
uv run tox -e py311

# Test Python 3.14 beta specifically
uv run tox -e py314-dev

# Test multiple specific versions
uv run tox -e py310,py311,py312

# Run linting across all versions
uv run tox -e lint

# Run type checking
uv run tox -e type

# Run coverage with detailed reporting
uv run tox -e coverage

# List all available test environments
uv run tox -l

# Run tests in parallel (faster)
uv run tox -p auto

# Clean and recreate all environments
uv run tox --recreate

Expected Tox Results

When running uv run tox, you should see results similar to:

py310: OK (5.80=setup[4.16]+cmd[1.64] seconds)
py311: OK (6.98=setup[5.09]+cmd[1.89] seconds)  
py312: OK (1.91=setup[0.35]+cmd[1.55] seconds)
py313: OK (5.92=setup[4.00]+cmd[1.92] seconds)
py314-dev: SKIP (0.00 seconds)  # May be skipped if Python 3.14 beta not installed
lint: FAIL/OK depending on code style
type: FAIL/OK depending on type annotations
coverage: OK (5.85=setup[3.91]+cmd[1.94] seconds)

• Core Python versions (3.10-3.13): Should consistently pass
• Python 3.14 beta: May be skipped if not installed (this is expected)
• Lint environment: May fail with style violations that need fixing
• Type environment: May fail with type annotation issues
• Coverage environment: Should pass with 97%+ coverage

Tox Environments

Environment	Description	Python Versions
py310	Tests on Python 3.10	3.10
py311	Tests on Python 3.11	3.11
py312	Tests on Python 3.12	3.12
py313	Tests on Python 3.13	3.13
py314-dev	Tests on Python 3.14 (beta)	3.14 beta*
lint	Code linting with ruff	All
type	Type checking with mypy	All
coverage	Detailed coverage report (97%+)	All

Note: *Python 3.14 beta may not be available on all systems and will be skipped if not installed.

Test Coverage Details

The test suite achieves 97% coverage across all components:

Component	Coverage	Focus Areas
api/models.py	100%	Pydantic data validation and serialization
exceptions.py	100%	Custom exception handling

utils/formatting.py	98%	Output formatting (table, JSON, CSV)
utils/config.py	97%	Configuration management
cli/repos.py	96%	Repository command implementations
cli/main.py	95%	Main CLI entry point and decorators
api/client.py	92%	GitHub API client and HTTP handling

Test Suite Features

• 🔄 Async Testing: Full async/await support with pytest-asyncio
• 🌐 HTTP Mocking: Complete API mocking with respx for reliable tests
• 🎭 CLI Testing: Comprehensive CLI command testing with Typer's test runner
• 📊 Edge Cases: Extensive edge case coverage including error scenarios
• ⚡ Performance: Fast test execution with parallel capabilities
• 🔧 Integration: End-to-end testing of complete workflows

Test Categories

# API client tests - GitHub API integration
uv run pytest tests/test_api_client.py

# CLI command tests - User interface testing
uv run pytest tests/test_cli.py

# Data model tests - Pydantic validation
uv run pytest tests/test_models.py

# Configuration tests - Settings management
uv run pytest tests/test_config.py

# Formatting tests - Output generation
uv run pytest tests/test_formatting.py

# Exception handling tests - Error scenarios
uv run pytest tests/test_exceptions.py

Code Quality

The project uses several tools to maintain code quality:

• Ruff: Fast Python linter and formatter
• MyPy: Static type checking
• Pytest: Testing framework with 97% coverage
• pytest-cov: Coverage reporting and enforcement
• pytest-asyncio: Async testing support
• respx: HTTP request mocking for reliable API tests

Version Management

MyGH includes an automated version bumping script that updates both pyproject.toml and creates git tags to trigger releases:

# Bump patch version (0.1.1 -> 0.1.2)
uv run python bump-version.py patch

# Bump minor version (0.1.1 -> 0.2.0)
uv run python bump-version.py minor

# Bump major version (0.1.1 -> 1.0.0)
uv run python bump-version.py major

The script will:

1. Update the version in pyproject.toml
2. Create a git commit with the version change
3. Create and push a git tag (e.g., v0.1.2)
4. Automatically trigger the release workflow for PyPI publishing

Requirements: The packaging library is included in development dependencies.

Contributing

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch: git checkout -b feature-name
3. Make your changes
4. Run comprehensive tests: uv run pytest --cov=src/mygh --cov-fail-under=95
5. Test across Python versions: uv run tox
6. Run linting: uv run tox -e lint
7. Type checking: uv run tox -e type
8. Commit your changes: git commit -am 'Add some feature'
9. Push to the branch: git push origin feature-name
10. Submit a pull request

Handling Tox Failures

If you encounter failures in specific environments:

# Fix linting issues automatically where possible
uv run ruff check --fix src tests
uv run ruff format src tests

# Check what lint issues remain
uv run tox -e lint

# Fix type checking issues
uv run mypy src/mygh

# Re-run type checking environment
uv run tox -e type

# Run only the core test environments (skip lint/type)
uv run tox -e py310,py311,py312,py313,py314-dev,coverage

Note: All contributions must maintain the 95%+ test coverage requirement and pass tests on Python 3.10-3.14 (beta). Linting and type checking issues should be resolved for production code.
