Summary

ProviderRegistry.create_ai_provider() in src/cleveragents/providers/registry.py has no branch for ProviderType.MOCK. When called with provider_type="mock", it falls through to the LangChainChatProvider generic path which calls _create_provider_llm(), which raises ValueError: Unsupported provider type: mock.

Expected Behavior

create_ai_provider(provider_type="mock") should return a mock AIProviderInterface implementation suitable for testing, without requiring a real API key.

Actual Behavior

registry = ProviderRegistry()
registry.create_ai_provider(provider_type="mock")
# Raises: ValueError: Unsupported provider type: mock

Trace:

  1. create_ai_provider("mock") — no if provider_type == ProviderType.MOCK: branch
  2. Falls through to the generic LangChainChatProvider path
  3. llm_factory calls self._create_provider_llm(ProviderType.MOCK, model_id, ...)
  4. _create_provider_llm() has no branch for ProviderType.MOCK
  5. Raises ValueError: Unsupported provider type: mock

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/providers/registry.py
    • create_ai_provider() method — missing ProviderType.MOCK branch (lines ~380–470)
    • _create_provider_llm() method — missing ProviderType.MOCK branch (lines ~490–540)

Impact

  • CLEVERAGENTS_MOCK_PROVIDERS=true is used in test environments, but calling create_ai_provider("mock") crashes
  • Any code path that resolves the mock provider and then calls create_ai_provider() will raise an unhandled ValueError
  • CI test suites that use mock providers may fail unexpectedly if they go through the registry

Fix Direction

Add a ProviderType.MOCK branch in both methods:

# In create_ai_provider():
if provider_type == ProviderType.MOCK:
    from cleveragents.providers.llm.mock_provider import MockChatProvider
    return MockChatProvider(
        model=model_id or self.DEFAULT_MODELS.get(provider_type, "mock-gpt"),
        max_retries=max_retries,
    )

# In _create_provider_llm():
if provider_type == ProviderType.MOCK:
    from cleveragents.providers.llm.mock_provider import MockLLM
    return MockLLM(model=model_id or "mock-gpt")

Or alternatively, create a simple in-registry mock that doesn't require a separate file.
