Metadata

  • Branch: task/test-infra-actor-examples-negative-scenarios
  • Commit Message: test(actor-examples): add negative scenario coverage to actor_examples.feature for malformed and invalid actor definitions
  • Milestone: (none — backlog, see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #5407

Background and Context

The features/actor_examples.feature file primarily focuses on validating correct and well-formed actor YAML examples. While this is essential, it lacks comprehensive negative testing to ensure the system behaves correctly when presented with invalid, malformed, or incomplete actor definitions.

Robustness requires testing how the system handles bad data. This issue proposes enhancing the existing feature file with scenarios that cover common failure modes for actor definitions.

Subtasks

  • Add new scenarios to features/actor_examples.feature to test for malformed YAML syntax.
  • Add scenarios to test for actor definitions with incorrect data types for fields (e.g., a string where a boolean is expected).
  • Add scenarios to test for graph definitions with invalid structures (e.g., nodes with no edges, disconnected components).
  • Add scenarios to test for tool definitions with non-existent tool names.
  • Ensure that the error messages produced by the system for these negative cases are clear and helpful.

Definition of Done

  • New scenarios covering the subtasks are added to features/actor_examples.feature.
  • All new and existing scenarios in the feature file pass successfully.
  • The system demonstrates robust error handling for invalid actor definitions.
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Duplicate Check

  • Searched for open and closed issues with keywords: "actor examples", "negative testing", "schema validation".
  • No duplicate issues were found.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone Test Infrastructure. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
