  • Commit Message: feat(ci): implement conditional test execution based on changed files
  • Milestone: v3.8.0
  • Parent Epic: #1678

User Story

As a developer, I want the CI pipeline to only run the tests that are relevant to my changes so that I can get faster feedback.

Context

The CI pipeline currently runs all tests for every change. This can be inefficient, especially for small changes that only affect a specific part of the codebase.

Implementing conditional test execution will reduce the CI run time for small changes and provide faster feedback to developers. This can be achieved by analyzing the changed files and mapping them to the corresponding tests. For example, if only the documentation is changed, there is no need to run the unit and integration tests.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The CI pipeline should analyze the changed files and only run the tests that are affected by the changes.
  • The overall CI run time should be reduced for small, targeted changes.

Subtasks

  • Audit .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml to understand the current test execution flow
  • Define a mapping of file path patterns to the nox sessions they affect (e.g., docs/** → skip unit/integration tests, src/** → run all tests)
  • Implement a path-filter step in the CI workflow (e.g., using dorny/paths-filter or a custom shell script) to detect which file categories changed
  • Update .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml to conditionally run each nox session based on the detected changes
  • Update features/ci_workflow_validation.feature to assert that the CI workflow includes conditional test execution logic
  • Verify all nox stages pass after changes
  • Confirm coverage ≥ 97%

Definition of Done

  • .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml conditionally skips irrelevant nox sessions based on changed file paths
  • A clear file-pattern-to-session mapping is documented and maintained in a single location
  • features/ci_workflow_validation.feature is updated to cover the conditional execution configuration
  • All nox stages pass (nox -e lint, nox -e typecheck, nox -e unit_tests, nox -e integration_tests, nox -e coverage_report)
  • Coverage >= 97%
  • PR is merged and linked issue is closed
