Metadata

  • Branch: fix/flaky-tests-robot-integration-suite
  • Commit Message: fix(tests): investigate and resolve failing Robot Framework integration tests
  • Milestone: v3.2.0
  • Parent Epic: #1678

Background and Context

The integration_tests nox session is failing with several test failures in the Robot Framework integration test suite. These failures block CI and reduce confidence in the test suite. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, any test failure during development immediately becomes a blocking task and must be resolved before progressing to other work.

To reproduce, run nox -s integration_tests.

Current Behavior

The following Robot Framework integration tests are currently failing:

  • Robot.Actor Context Export Import
  • Robot.Audit Service Wiring
  • Robot.Cli Consistency
  • Robot.Config Cli
  • Robot.Context Analysis Agent
  • Robot.Cli Plan Context Commands

Expected Behavior

All Robot Framework integration tests in the integration_tests session should pass consistently when running nox -s integration_tests.

Acceptance Criteria

  • All six failing Robot Framework tests pass reliably when running nox -s integration_tests
  • No regressions introduced to any previously passing tests
  • Root cause of each failure is identified and documented in the PR description
  • All nox default sessions pass without errors

Supporting Information

  • Failing tests span multiple functional areas: actor context management, audit service wiring, CLI consistency, config CLI, context analysis agent, and plan context commands
  • These tests exercise integration-level behavior and must use real services (no mocking permitted in integration tests per CONTRIBUTING.md)
  • Related issue: #1706 (flaky test tracking and identification)

Subtasks

  • Reproduce all six failing tests locally via nox -s integration_tests
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Actor Context Export Import failure
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Audit Service Wiring failure
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Cli Consistency failure
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Config Cli failure
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Context Analysis Agent failure
  • Investigate root cause for Robot.Cli Plan Context Commands failure
  • Implement fixes for each identified root cause
  • Verify all six tests pass after fixes
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

  • All subtasks above are completed and checked off.
  • All six previously failing Robot Framework integration tests pass reliably.
  • No regressions are introduced to any other tests.
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%
