LacyLights MCP Server

# Comprehensive Fixture Compatibility Test Plan ## Overview This document outlines a test strategy to validate that all fixtures from the Open Fixture Library (OFL) can be properly represented in the LacyLights system through the MCP server and Node backend. ## Current State Analysis ### Open Fixture Library Structure - **Total Manufacturers**: 129 - **Total Fixture Definitions**: 600 (with complete mode data) - **Total Test Cases**: 2,729 (fixture × mode combinations) - **Format**: JSON files with standardized schema - **Location**: `open-fixture-library/fixtures/` - **Structure**: - `manufacturers.json` - Master list of manufacturers - `{manufacturer}/` - Directory per manufacturer - `{manufacturer}/{model}.json` - Individual fixture definitions ### Mode Distribution Analysis - **Average Modes per Fixture**: 4.55 - **Maximum Modes in Single Fixture**: 181 (chroma-q/color-force-ii-72) - **Distribution**: - 23.2% fixtures have 1 mode (simple fixtures) - 52.0% fixtures have 2-4 modes (standard complexity) - 24.8% fixtures have 5+ modes (complex fixtures) - Notable outliers: Some fixtures have 30+, 68, 121, or 181 modes ### Key OFL Fixture Properties 1. **Physical Properties**: dimensions, weight, power, DMX connector 2. **Channel Definitions**: Available channels with capabilities 3. **Modes**: Different channel configurations (e.g., 3ch, 7ch, 36ch) 4. **Matrix/Pixel Information**: For pixel-based fixtures 5. **Categories**: LED Par, Moving Head, Strobe, etc. ## Test Scope ### In Scope 1. **Fixture Creation Validation** - Verify all OFL fixtures can be created in lacylights-node - Validate proper manufacturer/model mapping - Ensure all modes are selectable and create correct channels 2. **Channel Mapping Validation** - RGB, RGBA, RGBW, RGBAW detection - Intensity/Dimmer channels - Movement channels (Pan/Tilt) - Effect channels (Strobe, Gobo, etc.) - Matrix/Pixel channel expansion 3. **Mode Selection Logic** - Automatic mode detection from mode names - Proper channel count calculation - Mode-specific channel configurations 4. **Edge Cases** - Fixtures with unconventional channel names - Complex matrix fixtures - Fixtures with switching channels - Virtual channels and channel insertion ### Out of Scope - Physical properties validation (dimensions, power) - DMX universe assignment testing (covered by existing tests) - Scene creation with fixtures (covered by existing tests) - Real-time DMX output validation ## Repository Placement ### Recommended: `lacylights-mcp` Repository **Rationale:** 1. **MCP is the integration layer** between external systems and lacylights-node 2. **Tests validate the MCP→Node flow**, not just Node internals 3. **OFL parsing logic** will primarily exist in MCP 4. **Fixture creation intelligence** is implemented in MCP's fixture-tools 5. **Isolated testing** - Can test without affecting core Node server **Test Location:** `lacylights-mcp/tests/integration/ofl-compatibility/` ## Mode-Specific Testing Strategy ### Test Prioritization Given the 2,729 total test cases, we need a smart testing strategy: 1. **Tier 1: Core Tests** (≈500 test cases) - All single-mode fixtures (139 fixtures) - First and last mode of multi-mode fixtures (≈350 modes) - Ensures basic compatibility for all fixtures 2. **Tier 2: Common Modes** (≈800 test cases) - All modes for fixtures with 2-4 modes (312 fixtures) - Most common mode patterns (RGB, RGBA, RGBW, DMX, etc.) 3. **Tier 3: Complex Fixtures** (≈1,429 test cases) - All modes for fixtures with 5+ modes - Edge cases and unusual configurations - Matrix/pixel expansion modes ### Mode Pattern Recognition Common mode naming patterns to test: - **Channel Count**: "3-channel", "7ch", "12-channel" - **Color Modes**: "RGB", "RGBA", "RGBW", "RGBAW", "CMY" - **Control Modes**: "DMX", "HSI", "Basic", "Advanced", "Extended" - **Feature Modes**: "Strobe", "Dimmer", "Programs" - **Resolution**: "8-bit", "16-bit", "fine" ### Example Test Cases #### Simple Fixture (1 mode) ```javascript // acoustic-control/par-180-cob-3in1 (1 mode) test('Single mode fixture', async () => { const result = await createFixture({ manufacturer: 'Acoustic Control', model: 'PAR 180 COB 3in1', mode: 'Default' // Only mode available }); expect(result.channels).toHaveLength(expectedChannelCount); }); ``` #### Standard Fixture (multiple modes) ```javascript // american-dj/flat-par-qa12 (8 modes) describe('Multi-mode fixture', () => { const modes = ['1-channel', '2-channel', '3-channel', '4-channel', '5-channel', '6-channel', '7-channel', '8-channel']; test.each(modes)('Mode: %s', async (mode) => { const result = await createFixture({ manufacturer: 'American DJ', model: 'Flat Par QA12', mode }); expect(result.channelCount).toBe(parseInt(mode)); expect(result.success).toBe(true); }); }); ``` #### Complex Fixture (many modes) ```javascript // chroma-q/color-force-ii-72 (181 modes!) describe('Complex fixture with 181 modes', () => { test('Sample critical modes', async () => { const criticalModes = [ 'RGB', 'RGBA', 'RGBW', 'HSI', 'Direct', '3-channel', '4-channel', '8-bit', '16-bit' ]; for (const mode of criticalModes) { if (fixtureHasMode(mode)) { const result = await createFixture({/*...*/}); expect(result.success).toBe(true); } } }); }); ``` ## Test Implementation Strategy ### Phase 1: OFL Parser Development ```typescript // lacylights-mcp/src/utils/ofl-parser.ts export class OFLParser { parseManufacturer(manufacturerData: any): string parseFixture(fixtureData: any): ParsedFixture extractModes(fixtureData: any): Mode[] mapChannelsToLacyLights(oflChannels: any): Channel[] detectColorMode(modeName: string, channels: string[]): ColorMode } ``` ### Phase 2: Test Data Preparation ```typescript // lacylights-mcp/tests/fixtures/ofl-test-fixtures.ts export const loadOFLFixtures = async () => { // Load all fixtures from open-fixture-library // Group by manufacturer // Return structured test data } ``` ### Phase 3: Compatibility Test Suite ```typescript // lacylights-mcp/tests/integration/ofl-compatibility.test.ts describe('Open Fixture Library Compatibility', () => { describe('Manufacturer Coverage', () => { test.each(manufacturers)('Should handle %s fixtures', async (manufacturer) => { // Test all fixtures from manufacturer }) }) describe('Mode Detection', () => { test('Should detect RGB modes correctly', async () => {}) test('Should detect RGBA modes correctly', async () => {}) test('Should detect RGBW modes correctly', async () => {}) test('Should detect RGBAW modes correctly', async () => {}) }) describe('Channel Mapping', () => { test('Should map standard channels', async () => {}) test('Should handle matrix expansion', async () => {}) test('Should handle virtual channels', async () => {}) }) }) ``` ### Phase 4: Validation Criteria #### Success Criteria for Each Fixture: 1. **Creation Success**: Fixture can be created without errors 2. **Mode Availability**: All OFL modes are available in LacyLights 3. **Channel Count Match**: Channel count matches OFL definition 4. **Channel Type Mapping**: Channels mapped to appropriate types: - Color channels → RED, GREEN, BLUE, AMBER, WHITE - Intensity → INTENSITY - Movement → PAN, TILT - Effects → STROBE, GOBO, PRISM, etc. 5. **No Data Loss**: All functional channels represented #### Acceptable Limitations: - Complex switching channels may be simplified - Some effect channels may map to generic "OTHER" type - Virtual/calculated channels may be omitted - Fine movement channels (16-bit) may be simplified to 8-bit ## Test Execution Plan ### 1. Initial Test Run ```bash npm test -- tests/integration/ofl-compatibility.test.ts ``` ### 2.
