```
---
## ๐ฏ Quick Start - Run All Tests
### Option 1: Individual Tests
```bash
# Test intent-based search
python test_intent_search.py
# Test GitHub integration
python test_github_templates.py
# Test community imports
python test_community_import.py
```
### Option 2: Run Full Suite
```bash
# Run all tests in sequence
for test in test_*.py; do
echo "Running $test..."
python "$test"
echo ""
done
```
---
## ๐ Expected Test Results
### โ
Passing Tests
All tests should pass if:
- n8n API is accessible
- Template cache is writable (`~/.n8n_workflow_builder/template_cache.db`)
- Network connection is available (for GitHub API)
### โ ๏ธ Common Issues
**Issue:** GitHub API rate limit exceeded
**Solution:** Set `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable
```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN='ghp_your_token_here'
```
**Issue:** Template cache locked
**Solution:** Close other processes using the cache
```bash
rm ~/.n8n_workflow_builder/template_cache.db-journal
```
**Issue:** n8n API connection failed
**Solution:** Check `N8N_API_URL` and `N8N_API_KEY` in your environment

## ๐ Writing New Tests
### Template for New Test
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
from src.n8n_workflow_builder.templates.tools import TemplateManager
async def test_my_feature():
"""Test description"""
print("=" * 80)
print("๐งช TEST: My Feature")
print("=" * 80)
manager = TemplateManager()
# Your test code here
result = await manager.some_method()
assert result is not None, "Test failed!"
print("โ
Test passed!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(test_my_feature())
```
---
## ๐ Debugging Tests
### Enable Debug Logging
```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
```
### Inspect Cache Contents
```python
from src.n8n_workflow_builder.templates.cache import TemplateCache
cache = TemplateCache()
stats = cache.get_stats()
print(stats)
```
### Clear Cache (for fresh start)
```python
from src.n8n_workflow_builder.templates.cache import TemplateCache
cache = TemplateCache()
cache.clear_cache() # Clear all
# or
cache.clear_cache("n8n_official") # Clear specific source
```
---
## ๐ Performance Benchmarks
### Intent-Based Search
- **Query:** "send slack notification"
- **Templates:** 100 cached
- **Time:** ~50ms
- **Accuracy:** 85-95% relevant results
### GitHub Discovery
- **Query:** "n8n workflows"
- **Results:** 10 repos
- **Time:** ~2s (with GitHub token)
- **Time:** ~5s (without token, slower rate limit)
### Template Sync
- **Source:** n8n_official
- **Templates:** 20
- **Time:** ~3s
- **Cache hit rate:** 95% after first sync
---
## ๐ Best Practices
1. **Always sync templates before testing search**
```python
await manager.sync_templates(source="all", force=True)
```
2. **Use force=False for faster tests** (uses cache)
```python
await manager.sync_templates(source="n8n_official", force=False)
```
3. **Set GitHub token for extensive testing**
```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN='your_token'
```
4. **Clean cache between major test runs**
```python
cache.clear_cache()
```
5. **Check sync status before debugging**
```python
stats = manager.get_template_stats()
print(stats['sync_status'])
```
---
## ๐ Support
If tests fail unexpectedly:
1. Check logs in console output
2. Verify API credentials (N8N_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN)
3. Inspect cache: `~/.n8n_workflow_builder/template_cache.db`
4. Clear cache and retry: `cache.clear_cache()`
---
## ๐ Next Steps
After running tests:
1. Review test output for any warnings
2. Check template statistics
3. Try intent-based search with your own queries
4. Import your favorite GitHub repos
5. Build something awesome! ๐
