ThrillWiki Test Suite Validation Report

Date: 2025-01-07
Status: ❌ CRITICAL FAILURES IDENTIFIED
Scope: Comprehensive test suite validation after migration system repair

Executive Summary

Test suite validation revealed critical failures preventing any tests from running. While the migration system repair was successful for basic Django operations, the test infrastructure contains multiple references to the removed companies app that block test execution.

Test Execution Results

Complete Test Suite

uv run manage.py test

Result: ❌ FAILED - ImportError during test discovery Error: 'tests' module incorrectly imported from '/parks/tests'. Expected '/parks'

Parks App Tests

uv run manage.py test parks.tests

Result: ❌ FAILED - Database creation failure Error: ValueError: Related model 'companies.company' cannot be resolved

Root Cause Analysis

Primary Issues Identified

1. Incomplete Migration References (CRITICAL)

   • parks/migrations/0001_initial.py:70 - to="companies.company"
   • rides/migrations/0003_history_tracking.py:209 - to="companies.manufacturer"
   • These prevent test database creation

2. Outdated Test Runner Configuration (CRITICAL)

   • tests/test_runner.py lines 38, 49 - Still references companies app
   • Missing new entity apps: operators, manufacturers, property_owners
   • Coverage configuration incomplete

Secondary Issues

3. Test Discovery Structure Conflicts

   • Django test runner conflicts with custom test directory structure
   • Import path resolution issues

4. Missing Entity App Integration

   • New entity apps not included in test configuration
   • Coverage settings don't include new apps

Detailed Findings

Migration Files Still Referencing Companies App

File: parks/migrations/0001_initial.py

• Line 70: to="companies.company" should be to="operators.operator"

File: rides/migrations/0003_history_tracking.py

• Line 209: to="companies.manufacturer" should be to="manufacturers.manufacturer"

Test Runner Configuration Issues

File: tests/test_runner.py

• Line 38: 'companies': None, in MIGRATION_MODULES (should be removed)
• Line 49: 'companies', in coverage source (should be removed)
• Missing: operators, manufacturers, property_owners in coverage
• Lines 108-113: Test labels don't include new entity apps

Test Structure Analysis

Current Test Files Found:

• parks/tests/ - 4 test files (15 tests found)
• search/tests/ - 1 test file
• tests/e2e/ - 5 end-to-end test files

Test File Inventory:

• parks/tests/test_models.py
• parks/tests/test_filters.py
• parks/tests/test_search.py
• search/tests/test_ride_autocomplete.py

Impact Assessment

Blocked Functionality

• ❌ Cannot run any Django tests
• ❌ Cannot create test database
• ❌ Cannot validate entity relationships
• ❌ Cannot verify migration compatibility
• ❌ Cannot run coverage analysis

Test Coverage Status

• Unknown - Cannot execute tests to measure coverage
• Estimated Impact: 429+ lines of test code mentioned in migration plan
• Risk Level: HIGH - No test validation possible

Required Fixes (Not Implemented - Analysis Only)

1. Migration Reference Updates

# parks/migrations/0001_initial.py:70
to="operators.operator"  # was: companies.company

# rides/migrations/0003_history_tracking.py:209  
to="manufacturers.manufacturer"  # was: companies.manufacturer

2. Test Runner Configuration Updates

# tests/test_runner.py - Remove companies references
# Add new entity apps to coverage and test labels

3. Test Discovery Structure

• Resolve Django test runner conflicts
• Ensure proper test module imports

Recommendations

1. Immediate Priority: Fix migration references to enable test database creation
2. High Priority: Update test runner configuration for new entity structure
3. Medium Priority: Validate all test files for remaining companies imports
4. Low Priority: Enhance test coverage for new entity relationships

Next Steps

1. Fix remaining migration references to companies app
2. Update tests/test_runner.py configuration
3. Re-run test suite validation
4. Analyze individual test failures
5. Verify entity relationship tests
6. Validate search functionality tests
7. Check moderation tests with new entities

Conclusion

The test suite is currently non-functional due to incomplete migration cleanup. The migration system repair successfully fixed basic Django operations but missed critical references in migration files and test configuration. These issues must be resolved before any test validation can proceed.

Status: Ready for remediation - specific fixes identified and documented.
