Overview

This PR addresses the need for comprehensive, valuable tests for the WorkflowModerniser project as outlined in the roadmap. It adds 100+ unit and integration tests covering all implemented functionality (excluding the XrmToolbox plugin).

What's Included

Test Files (9 new test files)

Core Component Tests (20 tests)

  • MetadataServiceTests.cs - Tests entity metadata caching and retrieval, ensuring the cache works correctly for single and multiple entities
  • WriterContextTests.cs - Tests workflow context configuration including pre/post-operation flags, message names (Create, Update, Delete, Action), and primary entity settings
  • LCPEntityVariableTests.cs - Tests Low Code Plugin entity variable management, column expressions, and ID handling
  • OrgServiceWorkflowSourceTests.cs - Tests workflow and solution retrieval from Dataverse

Writer Tests (63 tests)

  • LowCodePluginPowerFxWriterTests.cs (32 tests) - Comprehensive tests for PowerFx expression generation including:

    • Literal formatting for all types (null, boolean, string, GUID, OptionSet, EntityReference, numbers, empty dictionaries)
    • All condition operators (Equal, NotEqual, Null, NotNull, GreaterThan, LessThan, BeginsWith, EndsWith, Contains, date operations, etc.)
    • Logical operators (And, Or)
    • Entity operations (Load, New, Clone, Copy, SetProperty, GetPropertyExpression)
    • Coalesce expressions
  • JavascriptFormScriptWriterTests.cs (13 tests) - Tests for JavaScript form script generation (experimental):

    • JavaScript literal formatting
    • Condition expressions (===, !==)
    • Entity property expressions with change handlers
    • Entity variable operations
  • PowerAutomateCloudFlowWriterTests.cs (18 tests) - Tests for Power Automate Cloud Flow generation (experimental):

    • Cloud Flow literal formatting
    • Trigger output expressions
    • Entity variable and column expression management

Output & Integration Tests (17 tests)

  • PluginOutputTests.cs (9 tests) - Tests plugin output classes including schema name generation, property handling for AutomatedPlugin and InstantPlugin
  • WorkflowConverterTests.cs (8 tests) - Integration tests for workflow conversion covering:
    • Business Rule conversion
    • Workflow conversion for Create, Update, Delete stages
    • Pre/Post-operation handling
    • Subprocess workflows (converted to custom actions)
    • Multi-stage workflows

Enhanced Existing Test

  • PowerFxIntegrationTests.cs - Enhanced existing PowerFx integration test with comprehensive documentation

Documentation

  • README.md - Test suite overview, organization, and instructions for running tests
  • TEST_COVERAGE.md - Detailed test coverage analysis with statistics and component breakdown
  • TESTING_SUMMARY.md - Complete implementation summary with design decisions and quality metrics

CI/CD Integration

Updated .github/workflows/ci-build.yml to:

  • Build the test project
  • Run all tests automatically on push/PR
  • Publish test results for visibility

Design Philosophy

The tests follow the project's stated goal of being "feasible and valuable without them being too rigid":

  • Focus on behavior, not implementation - Tests verify the correct outputs and behaviors rather than internal implementation details
  • Good isolation - Uses FakeItEasy for mocking dependencies and XrmMockup365 for Dataverse integration
  • Comprehensive coverage - Covers all three output types (Low Code Plugin, Cloud Flow, Form Script) and all major code paths
  • Maintainable - Clear test names, good structure, and appropriate use of mocks
  • Not brittle - Tests use minimal XAML and focus on public APIs to avoid breaking when internals change
  • Valuable - Provides confidence in the conversion logic and catches regressions

Coverage Summary

The test suite comprehensively covers:

  • ✅ All three output types (Low Code Plugin, JavaScript Form Script, Power Automate Cloud Flow)
  • ✅ Metadata service with caching
  • ✅ Workflow conversion for all categories (Business Rules, Workflows) and stages (Create, Update, Delete)
  • ✅ Pre/Post-operation handling
  • ✅ Subprocess workflows (converted to custom actions)
  • ✅ Literal value formatting for all data types across all output formats
  • ✅ All implemented condition and logical operators
  • ✅ Entity variable operations across all writers
  • ✅ Plugin output generation and schema naming
  • ✅ PowerFx integration with Dataverse

Quality Assurance

  • Code Review - No issues found
  • Security Scan (CodeQL) - No vulnerabilities detected
  • Test Framework - Uses MSTest (already in project), FakeItEasy (already in project), and XrmMockup365 (already in project)
  • CI/CD - Tests run automatically in GitHub Actions

Running the Tests

Tests will run automatically in CI. To run locally on Windows:

# Restore and build
nuget restore WorkflowModerniser.sln
msbuild WorkflowModerniser.Tests\WorkflowModerniser.Tests.csproj -t:build -p:Configuration=Release

# Run tests
dotnet test WorkflowModerniser.Tests\WorkflowModerniser.Tests.csproj --configuration Release

Future Enhancements

The test suite provides a solid foundation that can grow with the codebase. Potential areas for future expansion include:

  • More complex workflow XAML scenarios with additional activity types
  • Additional error handling and edge cases
  • Performance testing for large workflows
  • More Cloud Flow action types and form script scenarios

This PR delivers on the roadmap item: "Create some automated tests if feasible and valuable without them being too rigid" ✅

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • esm.ubuntu.com
    • Triggering command: /usr/lib/apt/methods/https (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Original prompt

improve tests with complete and valuable tests for what has been implemented so far (ignoring the xrmtoolbox plugin)
