# Gmail Elicitation System Test Suite
> **📋 Note**: Most Gmail-specific tests have been moved to [`tests/client/`](client/) and use the standardized FastMCP Client SDK testing framework. This documentation covers the elicitation system specifically.
This directory contains tests for the Gmail elicitation system implemented in the FastMCP2 Google Workspace Platform.
## Overview
The Gmail elicitation system provides a security layer for email sending operations by:
1. **Allow List Management**: Maintaining a list of trusted email recipients
2. **Elicitation Flow**: Requesting user confirmation before sending emails to untrusted recipients
3. **Resource Integration**: Providing access to allow list configuration via MCP resources
4. **Tool Integration**: Offering management tools for allow list administration
## Test Structure
### Gmail Elicitation Testing
> **Important**: Core Gmail elicitation functionality is now tested as part of the comprehensive client test suite in [`tests/client/test_enhanced_gmail_filters.py`](client/test_enhanced_gmail_filters.py) and other Gmail-related client tests.
This documentation covers elicitation system testing patterns.
#### Test Categories
#### A. Allow List Configuration Tests
- **Empty/Missing Configuration**: Tests handling of empty or missing `GMAIL_ALLOW_LIST` environment variable
- **Single Email Parsing**: Validates parsing of single email addresses
- **Multiple Email Parsing**: Tests comma-separated email list parsing
- **Whitespace Handling**: Ensures proper handling of whitespace in email lists
- **Case Normalization**: Verifies email addresses are normalized to lowercase
- **Environment Variable Integration**: Tests reading from `GMAIL_ALLOW_LIST` env var
#### B. Allow List Management Tools Tests
- **Add Valid Email**: Tests adding valid email addresses to allow list
- **Add Duplicate Email**: Verifies handling of duplicate email additions
- **Add Invalid Email**: Tests validation of email format
- **Remove Existing Email**: Tests removal of emails from allow list
- **Remove Nonexistent Email**: Verifies handling of nonexistent email removal
- **View Allow List**: Tests allow list display functionality
#### C. Resource System Tests
- **Authenticated Access**: Tests `gmail://allow-list` resource with authenticated user
- **Unauthenticated Access**: Tests resource access without authentication
- **JSON Response Structure**: Validates proper JSON response format
- **Privacy Masking**: Ensures email addresses are properly masked for privacy
#### D. Elicitation Flow Simulation Tests
- **Trusted Recipients**: Tests that emails to allow-listed recipients skip elicitation
- **Untrusted Recipients**: Tests that emails to non-allow-listed recipients trigger elicitation
- **User Acceptance**: Simulates user accepting elicitation prompt
- **User Decline**: Simulates user declining elicitation prompt
- **User Cancellation**: Simulates user cancelling the operation
- **Content Types**: Tests elicitation with different email content types (plain, html, mixed)
#### E. Integration Test Scenarios
- **All Recipients Trusted**: End-to-end test with all recipients on allow list
- **Mixed Recipients**: Test with combination of trusted and untrusted recipients
- **Empty Allow List**: Test behavior when no allow list is configured
- **Allow List Management Workflow**: Complete workflow of adding, viewing, and removing emails
#### F. Edge Cases and Error Handling Tests
- **Empty Recipient Lists**: Tests handling of emails with no recipients
- **Long Email Bodies**: Tests truncation of very long email content in elicitation
- **Unicode Characters**: Tests handling of unicode in email addresses and content
- **Special Characters**: Tests handling of special characters in subjects and bodies
- **Missing Parameters**: Tests validation of required parameters
- **Concurrent Operations**: Tests system behavior under concurrent load
#### G. Documentation and Validation Tests
- **Tool Descriptions**: Validates that all Gmail tools have proper descriptions
- **Parameter Validation**: Ensures tool parameters match implementation
- **Resource Descriptions**: Validates resource descriptions and structure
- **Input Schema Validation**: Tests tool input schema completeness
## Prerequisites
### 1. Running MCP Server
The tests require a running MCP server instance. Start the server using:
```bash
# From the project root directory
python -m fastmcp2_drive_upload.server
```
### 2. Environment Variables
Set the following environment variables for testing:
```bash
# Server connection (optional, defaults shown)
export MCP_SERVER_HOST=localhost
export MCP_SERVER_PORT=8002
# Test user email for authenticated testing
export TEST_EMAIL_ADDRESS=your.test@gmail.com
```
### 3. Authentication Setup
For full testing, ensure the test user is authenticated:
```bash
# Start authentication flow
start_google_auth your.test@gmail.com
```
## Running the Tests
### Gmail Elicitation Testing (via Client Tests)
```bash
# Run comprehensive Gmail tests including elicitation functionality
uv run pytest tests/client/test_enhanced_gmail_filters.py -v
# Run all Gmail-related client tests
uv run pytest tests/client/ -k "gmail" -v
```
### Specific Gmail Functionality Testing
```bash
# Run Gmail filter and elicitation tests
uv run pytest tests/client/test_enhanced_gmail_filters.py -v
# Run Gmail tools tests
uv run pytest tests/client/test_gmail_tools.py -v
# Test specific elicitation functionality
uv run pytest tests/client/ -k "elicitation or allow_list or filter" -v
```
### Option 3: Run with Custom Server Configuration
```bash
# Test against different server
MCP_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.100 MCP_SERVER_PORT=9000 python -m pytest tests/test_gmail_elicitation_system.py -v
```
### Option 4: Generate Test Report
```bash
# Generate HTML test report
python -m pytest tests/test_gmail_elicitation_system.py --html=report.html --self-contained-html
```
## Test Results Interpretation
### Expected Outcomes
#### ✅ Successful Tests
- **Authenticated Tests**: Pass when user is properly authenticated
- **Unauthenticated Tests**: Pass when system properly handles missing authentication
- **Validation Tests**: Pass when input validation works correctly
- **Integration Tests**: Pass when complete workflows function properly
#### ⚠️ Expected Failures (Without Authentication)
Some tests may show as "passed" but with authentication error messages, which is expected behavior when testing without proper authentication setup.
#### 🔍 Common Test Scenarios
1. **No Authentication**: Tests will show authentication errors - this is expected
2. **Invalid Emails**: Should be rejected with clear error messages
3. **Empty Configurations**: Should be handled gracefully
4. **Unicode Content**: Should be processed without corruption
5. **Long Content**: Should be truncated appropriately in elicitation messages

## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### 1. Server Connection Failed
```
ERROR: Could not connect to MCP server
```
**Solution**: Ensure MCP server is running and accessible on the specified host/port.
#### 2. Authentication Errors
```
ERROR: No authenticated user found
```
**Solution**: Run authentication flow or test with unauthenticated scenarios.
#### 3. Tool Not Found
```
ERROR: Tool 'send_gmail_message' not found
```
**Solution**: Ensure Gmail tools are properly registered in the MCP server.
#### 4. Resource Not Found
```
ERROR: Resource 'gmail://allow-list' not found
```
**Solution**: Ensure user resources are properly registered in the MCP server.
