What does this PR do?

--report-file and --summary-file were only path-checked when the file was written, after the run had been dispatched (and billed). A typo'd directory meant a full batch ran, then the CLI exited 5 on the report write (masking the verdict) or silently dropped the summary.

This adds pre-dispatch validation, per the scope in #455:

• assertReportFileParent (src/lib/junit-report.ts) becomes an exported shared helper, assertArtifactPath(field, path). Same checks: non-empty, parent exists and is a directory, target is not a directory. It reports the right field (report-file or summary-file).
• It runs before anything is triggered for test run (single <test-id> and --all, in the command action plus runTestRun) and for testlist run.
• Write-time handling is unchanged: writeJUnitReportFile still re-checks, the end-of-run --summary-file write is still warn-and-continue, and ci run (which reuses runTestRunAll with best-effort artifacts) is untouched.
• No new exit codes and no output-shape changes. Batch rerun is skipped (removed in 1.0).
• The diff to the shared helper is kept small, since [Hackathon] fix(test): --out plans/ and --out C:\work\plans\ write a file named plans, so the "must point to a file, not a directory" guard never fires #519 touches it too. Happy to rebase if that lands first.

Notes for reviewers

Tests (all mock-based):

• test run <id> --wait --summary-file missing/dir/s.json: exit 5, field summary-file, and no non-GET request is made. The read-only target lookup can still run first; the run is never triggered.
• test run --all --wait with a bad --report-file / --summary-file: exit 5 with the right field, and no HTTP call at all.
• testlist run --wait with a bad --report-file / --summary-file: exit 5, no HTTP call.
• assertArtifactPath unit tests: valid path, missing parent, directory target, empty path.
• Existing write-time-failure tests (runTestRunAll unwritable report, ci run artifact write failures) still pass unchanged.

The five command-level tests fail on current main and pass with this change. Full suite: 4807 passed, 2 skipped. Lint warnings are unchanged from main (215, 0 errors). Coverage: 90.09% statements.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Report and summary output paths are now validated before test runs begin.
  • Empty paths, trailing separators, missing or inaccessible parent directories, inaccessible targets, and directory targets produce validation errors that identify the affected option.
  • Validation applies to single and batch test runs, as well as test-list runs; report paths are checked when JUnit reporting is selected.
  • Tests are not dispatched when an output path fails validation.

Walkthrough

Test run and testlist commands validate configured report and summary paths before dispatch. A shared synchronous helper checks path and directory conditions. Tests verify invalid paths return exit code 5 before network requests.

Changes

Artifact path preflight

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared artifact-path validation src/lib/junit-report.ts, src/lib/junit-report.test.ts	assertArtifactPath validates report and summary paths and returns a resolved absolute path. It rejects empty paths, trailing separators, missing or inaccessible parents, non-directory parents, inaccessible targets, and directory targets. Tests cover valid paths and filesystem errors.
Command preflight and dispatch src/commands/test.ts, src/commands/test.run.spec.ts, src/commands/testlist.ts, src/commands/testlist.spec.ts	test run and testlist validate configured paths before dispatch. Tests verify exit code 5, field-specific errors, and no non-GET requests or fetch calls.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR changes implement [#455]. src/lib/junit-report.ts converts assertReportFileParent into the exported assertArtifactPath(field, rawPath). It checks non-empty paths, trailing separators, parent existence and type, target type, and permission errors. writeJUnitReportFile reuses it at write time, so write-time checks remain. src/commands/test.ts adds assertRunArtifactPaths before dispatch for test run. src/commands/testlist.ts adds the same checks. Tests cover the helper and the command paths. The trailing-separator check is part of the requested path validation and is not unrelated behavior. No unrelated source change was identified in the reviewed diff.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#455] requires pre-dispatch validation of --report-file and --summary-file on test run (single and batch), supported batch rerun, and testlist run, with exit 5 and the correct field before any dispatch. At the reviewed head, the diff covers test run and testlist run. It adds assertRunArtifactPaths in src/commands/test.ts (runTestRun and the run command action) and validation in src/commands/testlist.ts, with tests in test.run.spec.ts, testlist.spec.ts, and junit-report.test.ts. The PR scope excludes batch rerun because it was 'removed in 1.0'. The reviewed source does not support that claim. src/commands/test.rerun.deprecation.spec.ts shows test rerun still registered as a hidden deprecated alias. Its notice says removal in 0.17.0, and its tests require it to keep working. src/commands/test.rerun.spec.ts still exercises rerun --all and batch rerun dispatch. The #455 issue text states that the batch rerun path uses the same deferred report writer. No validation is added to rerun. This leaves a supported batch path without pre-dispatch artifact checks. Not established: the read output did not show the full rerun option list, so whether rerun accepts --report-file and --summary-file was not directly confirmed. The assessment depends on this point. The helper behavior, write-time preservation, and the testlist and test run tests are otherwise consistent with #455.

Resolution

Confirm whether test rerun (batch and --all) accepts --report-file and --summary-file. If it does, apply the shared assertArtifactPath checks to that path before any POST to rerun or batch rerun. Add tests for exit 5, the correct field, and no non-GET request. If rerun does not accept these flags, cite the option definition in source and correct the PR scope statement, which currently says rerun was removed in 1.0. Also correct the issue scope reference, since the deprecation notice gives removal in 0.17.0.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 too large.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Test passes silently if no error is thrown.

The try/catch has no assertion on the no-throw path. The field check runs only when an error occurs. Use expect.assertions or a direct matcher.

Proposed fix

-    expect(() => assertArtifactPath('summary-file', join(dir, 'nope', 's.json'))).toThrow(ApiError);
-    try {
-      assertArtifactPath('report-file', join(dir, 'nope', 'r.xml'));

Artifact path validation runs after resolveEnvironmentRunTarget and tunnel resolution.

The path check in runTestRun runs after makeClient and resolveEnvironmentRunTarget, which can make network GETs. The PR goal is to fail before dispatch. No non-GET request is sent, so the core goal holds. The command-level check at line 15326 already covers the CLI path. Direct callers of runTestRun still pay for the read-only calls first. Consider moving the call next to assertFreshRunWaitOptions at the function start. Keep it after the client creation only if credential errors must take priority.

Exercise the CLI single-run path and reject all requests.

The test calls runTestRun directly, so it bypasses the test run CLI preflight. Its assertion also allows GET requests. A regression that moves the preflight after an initial GET could pass this test.

Make the symlink-loop test safe on Windows.

On Windows without symlink privileges or the required configuration, symlinkSync can throw EPERM before this test reaches assertArtifactPath. A normal test run then fails because of the fixture, not the validator. Mock the statSync error for this case, or skip this test on Windows as the permission test does. (github.com)

This is my CLI Improvement Bonus entry: it closes #455, which was accepted and assigned to me. Neither this PR nor #455 picked up the hackathon label (the issue was opened through the gh CLI), and I don't have triage access to add it myself. Could a maintainer add the hackathon label to both #455 and this PR so the entry is counted? Thanks!

[zeshi-du]

Thanks @ronkenx9, this is the fix #455 asked for. To get it merged:

1. Rebase on main; src/lib/junit-report.test.ts conflicts.
2. ESLint Security (changed files) is red: add // eslint-disable-next-line security/detect-non-literal-fs-filename -- <reason> above the two new statSync calls in junit-report.ts and the new symlinkSync, mkdirSync and chmodSync calls in junit-report.test.ts.
3. Move the JSDoc block back onto assertArtifactPath; it now sits on errorCode.
4. fix(test): reject --out / --report-file paths that end in a separator #566 lands first and changes the trailing-separator check to test the raw argument (/[\\/]$/.test(rawPath)). Keep that check in assertArtifactPath when you rebase, so --report-file reports/ is refused before dispatch too.
