Refactor tests for improved readability and maintainability #38
Conversation
- Consolidated duplicate fixture code into shared mcp_server fixture - Extracted common test patterns into reusable helper functions: * generate_unique_index_name() for consistent naming * wait_for_indexing() for standardized wait times * create_test_index_with_documents() for test setup * assert_text_content_response() for common assertions - Added configuration constants for test URLs and timing - Simplified repetitive test patterns while preserving functionality - Moved imports to top level for better organization - Improved error messages and assertion clarity - Reduced code duplication across test classes All existing tests pass with identical functionality, now with better maintainability. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
WalkthroughThe test suite for the MCP client was refactored to improve structure and maintainability. New utility functions, fixtures, and assertion helpers were introduced to centralize configuration, streamline test setup, and reduce redundancy. Test classes and functions were updated to use these helpers, resulting in cleaner and more organized test code. Changes

32-34: Consider potential race conditions in unique name generation.The current implementation using
int(time.time() * 1000)could theoretically generate duplicate index names if tests run in rapid succession within the same millisecond. While unlikely in practice, consider usinguuid.uuid4()for guaranteed uniqueness.+import uuid + -def generate_unique_index_name(prefix: str = "test") -> str: - """Generate a unique index name for testing""" - return f"{prefix}_{int(time.time() * 1000)}" +def generate_unique_index_name(prefix: str = "test") -> str: + """Generate a unique index name for testing""" + return f"{prefix}_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"

37-39: Good implementation for test synchronization.The wait function properly handles Meilisearch's asynchronous indexing behavior. The centralized constant makes it easy to adjust timing if needed.
70-78: Excellent helper function for reducing test boilerplate.This function effectively consolidates the common pattern of creating an index and adding documents, significantly improving test readability and maintainability.
81-94: Well-designed assertion helper that improves test consistency.The function provides good validation of response structure while allowing optional content verification. The return of extracted text enables further assertions in calling tests.
96-105: Great consolidation of duplicate fixtures.Moving the server fixture to module level eliminates the reported ~85% reduction in fixture code duplication while maintaining proper cleanup.
115-153: Improved tool verification with better structure validation.The refactored tool discovery test is more comprehensive and readable. The systematic validation of tool attributes using list comprehensions is elegant and thorough.
160-176: Good use of assertion helper for cleaner test code.The test properly uses the new
assert_text_content_responsehelper to reduce boilerplate while maintaining thorough validation of connection settings functionality.
264-306: Comprehensive tool categorization test with good validation.The categorization logic effectively groups tools by functionality and validates minimum counts per category. This provides better insight into tool coverage than a simple count check.
335-369: Effective test for issue #16 with proper JSON validation.The test correctly verifies that the response contains valid JSON rather than Python object representations. The JSON parsing validation at the end is particularly valuable for confirming the fix.
415-432: Good test coverage for issue #17 default parameter handling.The test properly validates that the tool works without explicit limit/offset parameters, addressing the original issue where None parameters caused errors.
23-30: Excellent centralization of configuration constants.The extracted constants eliminate magic numbers and make the test suite more maintainable. The naming is clear and follows good conventions.
