Resolves #549
Why is this feature needed?
To ensure that the GitHub headers generated by create_headers() are correctly formatted and contain the required authorization data, an integration test is necessary. This helps maintain confidence in our authentication mechanism and guards against inadvertent regressions.
What and how are we changing? Why this approach?
We are adding an integration test file (tests/integration/test_create_headers.py) that exercises the create_headers() function. The test verifies:
This direct approach makes it clear that the function produces the expected output without needing to simulate external GitHub API interactions.
What actions are required from users?
No manual actions are required from users. The integration test will run with the standard test suite. Please ensure that any configurations for the token or environment necessary for authentication are properly set when running the tests.
How does it work? (Technical details)
The integration test:
This approach helps ensure that the functionality of header creation remains consistent with GitHub's authentication requirements.
Is it backwards compatible?
Yes, the addition of this integration test does not affect any existing functionality. It solely adds coverage to our code base to ensure proper header generation without changing production code.
Any other considerations?
