Deriver Testing

This directory contains tests for the deriver system, which handles background processing of messages to extract insights and update working representations.

Structure

• conftest.py - Shared fixtures for deriver testing
• test_queue_operations.py - Tests for basic queue operations
• test_deriver_processing.py - Tests for deriver processing logic
• test_queue_processing.py - Tests for queue manager and work unit processing

Key Fixtures

Database Fixtures

• sample_session_with_peers - Creates a session with multiple peers having different observation configurations
• sample_messages - Creates sample messages for testing
• sample_queue_items - Creates queue items with various payload types (representation, summary)

Queue Fixtures

• create_queue_payload - Helper to create queue payloads for testing
• add_queue_items - Helper to add queue items to the database
• create_active_queue_session - Helper to create active queue sessions for work unit tracking

Mocking Fixtures

• mock_critical_analysis_call - Mocks the critical analysis LLM call
• mock_queue_manager - Mocks the queue manager for testing
• mock_embedding_store - Mocks the embedding store operations

Testing Patterns

Creating Queue Items

# Create representation payloads
payload = create_queue_payload(
    message=message,
    task_type="representation",
    sender_name=message.peer_name,
    target_name=observer_peer.name,
)

# Add to queue
queue_items = await add_queue_items([payload], session.id)

Testing Work Units

# Create a work unit
work_unit = WorkUnit(
    session_id=session.id,
    sender_name=sender.name,
    target_name=target.name,
    task_type="representation",
)

# Test string representation
assert str(work_unit) == f"({session.id}, {sender.name}, {target.name}, representation)"
