BlenderMCP

# BlenderMCP Test Suite This directory contains the comprehensive BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) test suite for the BlenderMCP project. ## Overview The test suite validates all behavioral specifications defined in the `features/` directory using pytest-bdd. Tests verify the MCP interface contracts, tool behaviors, and system properties. **New in v1.3.0:** The suite now includes **Real Integration Tests** that run against a live, headless Blender instance to verify actual functionality. ## Test Architecture ### Design Principles 1. **Test Behaviors, Not Implementations** - Tests validate observable behaviors and interface contracts - No coupling to internal implementation details - Focus on MCP tool schemas, return types, and error handling 2. **No Production Code Modifications** - Tests are isolated to the `tests/` directory - No changes to `src/` or `addon.py` - Tests use mocks to simulate Blender responses 3. **Deterministic and Composable** - All tests are deterministic (no randomness, no timing dependencies) - Fixtures are reusable and composable - Tests can run in any order 4. **Property-Based Testing** - Hypothesis strategies are available for property-based tests - Use for input validation, invariants, and edge cases - Balance thoroughness with execution time 5. **Mirrored Source Structure** - Test directory structure mirrors `src/` directory organization - Makes it easy to find tests for specific modules - Promotes logical grouping and maintainability ## Directory Structure The test directory is organized to mirror the source code structure, making it intuitive to navigate between implementation and tests: ``` tests/ ├── __init__.py # Test suite package ├── conftest.py # Shared fixtures and test infrastructure ├── README.md # This file │ ├── mcp/ # MCP server contract and interface tests │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── test_contract.py # Tool/resource/prompt discovery (feature 01) │ ├── test_resources.py # Viewport screenshot resources (feature 11) │ └── test_safety.py # Arbitrary code execution safety (feature 12) │ ├── tools/ # MCP tool wrapper tests (src/tools/) │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── test_mesh_analysis.py # Mesh statistics and topology (feature 02) │ ├── test_remeshing.py # Voxel + QuadriFlow remeshing (features 03, 04) │ ├── test_modifiers.py # Decimation + Shrinkwrap (features 05, 06) │ ├── test_shading.py # UV seams and sharp edges (feature 07) │ ├── test_viewport.py # Viewport controls and projection (feature 08) │ └── test_scene.py # Model switching and config (feature 13) │ ├── retopo_tools/ # Retopology tool implementation tests (src/retopo_tools/) │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── test_baking.py # Normal map baking (feature 09) │ ├── test_io.py # Import/export functionality (feature 10) │ ├── test_camera.py # Camera ortho + batch renders (features 14, 15) │ ├── test_retopoflow.py # RetopoFlow 4 add-on integration (features 16-22) │ ├── test_quad_remesher.py # Quad Remesher add-on integration (feature 18) │ ├── test_looptools.py # LoopTools add-on utilities (features 23-25) │ ├── test_machin3tools.py # MACHIN3tools add-on integration (feature 26) │ └── test_quadwrap.py # QuadWrap add-on integration (feature 27) │ └── prompts/ # MCP prompt tests (src/prompts/) └── __init__.py # (Prompt tests to be added) ├── integration/ # Real integration tests (requires Blender) │ ├── conftest.py # Blender process management fixtures │ ├── start_blender_server.py # Helper script to run inside Blender │ ├── test_real_connection.py # Connection smoke tests │ └── test_real_mesh_analysis.py # Functional tests with real geometry ``` ### Test Organization Rationale **tests/mcp/** - Tests for MCP server protocol compliance - `test_contract.py`: Validates MCP tool/resource/prompt registration and schemas - `test_resources.py`: Tests MCP resource endpoints (viewport screenshots) - `test_safety.py`: Validates safety mechanisms for arbitrary code execution **tests/tools/** - Tests for MCP tool wrappers in `src/tools/` - Each test file corresponds to a tool module in `src/tools/` - Consolidated tests where features share common implementation (e.g., remeshing, modifiers) - Tests validate MCP interface contracts, not internal implementation **tests/retopo_tools/** - Tests for underlying retopology implementations in `src/retopo_tools/` - Tests the actual retopology tool logic used by MCP wrappers - Validates complex workflows like baking, import/export, camera setup - **NEW (Nov 2025)**: Extensive add-on integration tests for LLM-agent-retopologist - RetopoFlow 4 (professional retopology suite) - Quad Remesher (commercial auto-retopology) - LoopTools (built-in mesh utilities) - MACHIN3tools (pro modeling tools) - QuadWrap (cylindrical topology automation) **tests/prompts/** - Tests for MCP prompt definitions in `src/prompts/` - Validates prompt structure and guidance quality - (Tests to be expanded as prompts are added) ## Running Tests ### Prerequisites Install test dependencies: ```bash pip install pytest pytest-bdd hypothesis ``` ### Run All Tests ```bash # From repository root pytest tests/ # With verbose output pytest tests/ -v # With coverage report pytest tests/ --cov=src --cov-report=html ``` ### Run Tests by Directory ```bash # Run only MCP contract tests pytest tests/mcp/ -v # Run only tool wrapper tests pytest tests/tools/ -v # Run only retopology implementation tests pytest tests/retopo_tools/ -v ``` ### Run Specific Test Files ```bash # Single test module pytest tests/mcp/test_contract.py -v # Multiple test modules pytest tests/tools/test_mesh_analysis.py tests/tools/test_remeshing.py -v ``` ### Run by Marker ```bash # Unit tests only (no external dependencies) pytest tests/ -m unit # Contract compliance tests pytest tests/ -m contract # Integration tests (require Blender) pytest tests/integration/ -v ``` ### Real Integration Tests The `tests/integration/` directory contains tests that launch a real Blender instance in background mode. **Prerequisites:** - A local installation of Blender (3.0+) - The test runner will attempt to auto-locate `blender.exe` in standard paths. **What they test:** - Actual socket connection to the Blender addon - Execution of Python code inside Blender - Real return values from Blender API calls (e.g., accurate vertex counts) **How to run:** ```bash pytest tests/integration/ -v ``` ### Run Specific Scenarios ```bash # Run scenarios matching a pattern pytest tests/ -k "voxel_remesh" # Run specific scenario by name pytest tests/tools/test_remeshing.py -k "default_settings" ``` ## Test Coverage Status ### Current Test Results (as of 2025-11-10) **Overall: 112 PASSED, 1 SKIPPED, 1 XFAIL out of 114 test scenarios** Coverage: **100% scenario coverage** -

MCP resources are not yet registered in the server - Viewport screenshot is available as a tool but not as a resource - This is a known architectural gap 2. **SKIPPED: Flipped Normals Detection** (tests/tools/test_mesh_analysis.py) - Feature is specified but test implementation deferred - Not a blocking issue ## Key Fixtures ### Test Infrastructure (`conftest.py`) #### Connection Mocking - `mock_blender_connection`: Simulates Blender addon socket connection - `mock_server`: Provides mock MCP server instance #### Sample Data - `sample_mesh_stats`: Typical mesh statistics response - `sample_topology_issues`: Topology issue detection response - `sample_clean_topology`: Clean mesh validation response #### Validators - `tool_validator`: Validates MCP tool definitions - `resource_validator`: Validates MCP resource definitions - `prompt_validator`: Validates MCP prompt definitions #### Helpers - `mesh_factory`: Creates mock mesh data structures - `error_simulator`: Simulates various error conditions - `bdd_context`: Shared context for Given/When/Then steps #### Hypothesis Strategies (Property-Based Testing) - `mesh_stats_strategy`: Generate valid mesh statistics - `angle_strategy`: Valid angle values (0-180°) - `ratio_strategy`: Valid ratio values (0.0-1.0) ## Testing Heuristics ### MCP Contract Validation **What to assert:** - Tool definitions have required fields: name, description, inputSchema - All parameters have defined types - Resources declare correct MIME types - Prompts provide meaningful guidance **What NOT to assert:** - Internal tool implementation details - Specific function signatures - Private module organization ### Mesh Analysis **Key properties:** - Vertex/edge/face counts must be non-negative integers - Tris + quads + ngons should equal total faces - Non-manifold detection is deterministic - Sharp edge thresholds are inclusive (≥ angle) **Invariants:** - Clean mesh has no topology issues - Issue detection suggests actionable fixes ### Remeshing (Voxel, QuadriFlow) **Expected behaviors:** - Smaller voxel size → higher face count - Shape preservation within tolerance (~2-5% volume difference) - QuadriFlow requires manifold mesh (precondition) - Target face counts are approximate (±10% tolerance) **Error conditions:** - Non-manifold mesh → clear error message with fix suggestions - Inconsistent normals → suggest "Recalculate Outside" ### Viewport and Camera **State management:** - Viewport projection independent of camera projection - Aligning camera to view transfers viewport orientation - Ortho scale "auto" calculates from scene bounds **Rendering:** - Final render uses **camera** projection, not viewport - Batch ortho renders maintain consistent framing ### Baking **Preconditions:** - Low-poly mesh must have UV coordinates - Error suggests "Unwrap UVs" or "Smart UV Project" **Postconditions:** - Image saved to //textures/ directory - Material created and normal map connected - Resolution matches requested map_size ### Safety **Arbitrary code execution:** - `execute_blender_code` requires `confirm=true` - Without confirmation → rejected with safety message - Error handling doesn't crash Blender - Documentation explains risks ## Writing New Tests ### Step 1: Understand the Feature Read the `.feature` file and extract: - **Preconditions**: What state is required? - **Actions**: What operations are performed? - **Expected outcomes**: What should change? What invariants hold? ### Step 2: Derive Testing Heuristics Document in test module docstring: - Key behavioral properties to assert - Invariants that must hold - Preconditions and setup requirements - Expected error conditions - Edge cases and boundary conditions ### Step 3: Determine Test Location Based on the mirrored structure: - Testing MCP server contract? → `tests/mcp/` - Testing a tool in `src/tools/`? → `tests/tools/` - Testing implementation in `src/retopo_tools/`? → `tests/retopo_tools/` - Testing prompts in `src/prompts/`? → `tests/prompts/` ### Step 4: Implement Given/When/Then Steps ```python from pytest_bdd import scenarios, given, when, then, parsers # Use relative path from test file to features directory scenarios('../../features/my_feature.feature') @given("precondition is met") def setup_precondition(bdd_context): """Set up required state""" bdd_context["state"] = "ready" @when("I call the tool") def call_tool(bdd_context, mock_blender_connection): """Execute the action""" result = mock_blender_connection.send_command("tool_name", {}) bdd_context["result"] = result @then("expected outcome occurs") def verify_outcome(bdd_context): """Assert expected behavior""" result = bdd_context["result"] assert result["success"], "Operation should succeed" ``` ### Step 5: Use Fixtures Effectively ```python @given("a complex mesh") def complex_mesh(bdd_context, mesh_factory): """Use factory fixtures for consistent test data""" bdd_context["mesh"] = mesh_factory.create_high_poly(face_count=10000) @when("I call the tool with invalid params") def call_with_invalid_params(bdd_context, error_simulator): """Use error simulator for error conditions""" result = error_simulator.invalid_params("Missing required field") bdd_context["result"] = result ``` ### Step 6: Mark Incomplete Features ```python @then("feature X works correctly") def feature_x_works(bdd_context): """Validate feature X""" result = bdd_context["result"] if not result["success"]: pytest.xfail("Feature X not yet implemented") assert result["success"], "Feature X should work" ``` ## Property-Based Testing with Hypothesis For testing input validation and invariants across wide ranges: ```python from hypothesis import given, strategies as st @given(st.floats(min_value=0.0, max_value=180.0)) def test_angle_threshold_property(angle): """Sharp edges detection should be monotonic with angle""" # Lower angles should detect more or equal edges pass ``` Use property-based tests for: - Input validation across ranges - Invariants that hold for all inputs - Edge cases difficult to enumerate - Stateful behavior verification ## Best Practices ### DO - ✓ Test observable behaviors and properties - ✓ Validate interface contracts (schemas, types, return structures) - ✓ Check error messages and exception types - ✓ Verify state transitions and invariants - ✓ Use descriptive assertion messages - ✓ Keep tests focused and single-purpose - ✓ Document heuristics and expected behaviors - ✓ Place tests in the appropriate directory mirroring `src/` ### DON'T - ✗ Test private methods or internal details - ✗ Create coupling between test and implementation - ✗ Use arbitrary timeouts or sleep calls - ✗ Depend on test execution order - ✗ Modify production code from tests - ✗ Assert on implementation-specific values ## Continuous Improvement As features are implemented: 1. **Remove xfail markers** when features are complete 2. **Refactor tests** for better readability 3. **Extract reusable helpers** from duplicated code 4. **Add property-based tests** as invariants become clear 5. **Update documentation** to reflect current state 6. **Maintain mirrored structure** when adding new modules ## Debugging Test Failures ### View BDD step details ```bash # See which step failed with full context pytest tests/tools/test_mesh_analysis.py::test_detect_non_manifold_edges -vv ``` ### Use pytest debugging ```python # Add breakpoint in test @then("expected outcome") def verify_outcome(bdd_context): import pdb; pdb.set_trace() # Debugger assert ... ``` ### Check mock responses ```python @when("I call the tool") def call_tool(bdd_context, mock_blender_connection): result = mock_blender_connection.send_command("tool", {}) # Inspect last command sent print(mock_blender_connection.last_command) bdd_context["result"] = result ``` ## Integration with CI/CD ### GitHub Actions Example ```yaml name: Test Suite on: [push, pull_request] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Set up Python uses: actions/setup-python@v2 with: python-version: 3.10 - name: Install dependencies run: | pip install pytest pytest-bdd hypothesis pip install -e . - name: Run tests run: pytest tests/ -v --tb=short ``` ## Contact and Contribution When adding new features: 1. Add corresponding `.feature` file to `features/` 2. Implement test module in appropriate `tests/` subdirectory (mirroring `src/`) 3. Update this README with coverage status 4. Ensure tests are deterministic and well-documented For questions about test architecture or best practices, refer to: - pytest-bdd documentation: https://pytest-bdd.readthedocs.io/ - Hypothesis documentation: https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/ --- **Test Quality is Production Quality** Every test in this suite should be: - **Clear**: Easy to understand what is being tested - **Purposeful**: Tests a specific behavior or property - **Maintainable**: Easy to update as features evolve - **Reliable**: Deterministic and isolated from external state - **Well-organized**: Located in the correct directory mirroring source structure
