Direzione di ricerca

Leggi tests/parity_helpers.py e confronta il comportamento di clean_env() con quello di _clean_env() in tests/test_check_prerequisites_python_parity.py. Inizia verificando come questi helper impostano PATH e come i test dello shim senza YAML mantengono la precedenza. Il lavoro è completato quando l’invocazione diretta di pytest usa l’interprete della suite per i sottoprocessi e i test di parità interessati passano.

Descrizione

triage-must-have

Summary

Following AGENTS.md's prescribed invocation — uv sync --extra test then .venv/bin/python -m pytest — 11 parity tests fail on a fresh macOS checkout whose ambient python3 does not have PyYAML installed (e.g. Homebrew Python):

FAILED tests/test_check_prerequisites_python_parity.py::test_all_variants_resolve_requested_template[composed]
FAILED tests/test_check_prerequisites_python_parity.py::test_all_variants_validate_requested_template_in_text_mode[composed]
FAILED tests/test_create_new_feature_python_parity.py::test_all_variants_materialize_composed_spec_template
FAILED tests/test_resolve_template_python_parity.py (7 tests, all [composed]-style)
FAILED tests/test_setup_plan_python_parity.py::test_all_variants_materialize_composed_plan_template
FAILED tests/test_setup_tasks_python_parity.py::test_all_variants_return_composed_tasks_template

Each failure is the bash variant reporting Error: PyYAML is required to resolve preset template composition.

Root cause

run() in tests/parity_helpers.py defaults to clean_env(), which is a copy of os.environ — the script subprocesses resolve python3 -> python -> py -3 through the ambient PATH.

  • In CI, tests run via uv run pytest, and uv run prepends the project venv's bin/ to PATH, so the scripts find the venv interpreter (which has PyYAML) and everything passes.
  • Under the direct .venv/bin/python -m pytest invocation documented in AGENTS.md, PATH is untouched, so the scripts find the ambient python3 (no PyYAML) and fail.

tests/parity_helpers.py already contains make_python3_path_shim() whose docstring warns about exactly this hazard ("silently regains/loses that venv's site-packages (e.g. PyYAML)"), and tests/extensions/test_extension_agent_context.py contains a similar _ensure_test_python_on_path() helper — the composed-template tests just don't get the same treatment.

Suggested fix

Prepend the running interpreter's own bin directory to PATH inside parity_helpers.clean_env() — the same thing uv run does — so both invocations give the script subprocesses the same Python the suite runs on. Tests that install their own shim (the no_yaml_python3_shim cases) prepend afterwards and keep precedence, so the negative tests are unaffected. One tests/test_check_prerequisites_python_parity.py defines a file-local _clean_env() duplicate and needs the same treatment (delegate to the shared helper).

Reproduction

git clone https://github.com/github/spec-kit && cd spec-kit
uv sync --extra test          # or: python -m venv .venv && pip install -e . pytest
# ensure the ambient `python3` has no PyYAML:
python3 -c "import yaml" || echo "ambient python3 has no PyYAML"
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_resolve_template_python_parity.py -q   # 7 failed
PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH" .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_resolve_template_python_parity.py -q   # all pass
