Systematically identify and fix all failing tests using smart grouping strategies. Use when explicitly asks to fix tests ("fix these tests", "make tests pass"), reports test failures ("tests are failing", "test suite is broken"), or completes implementation and wants tests passing.
Test Fixing
Systematically identify and fix all failing tests using smart grouping strategies.
When to Use
- Explicitly asks to fix tests ("fix these tests", "make tests pass")
- Reports test failures ("tests are failing", "test suite is broken")
- Completes implementation and wants tests passing
- Mentions CI/CD failures due to tests
Systematic Approach
1. Initial Test Run
Run make test to identify all failing tests.
Analyze output for:
- Total number of failures
- Error types and patterns
- Affected modules/files
2. Smart Error Grouping
Group similar failures by:
- Error type: ImportError, AttributeError, AssertionError, etc.
- Module/file: Same file causing multiple test failure
- Root cause: Missing dependencies, API changes, refactoring impacts
Prioritize groups by:
- Number of affected tests (highest impact first)
- Dependency order (fix infrastructure before functionality)
3. Systematic Fixing Process
For each group (starting with highest impact):
- Identify root cause
- Read relevant code
- Check recent changes with
git diff - Understand the error pattern
- Implement fix
- Use Edit tool for code changes
- Follow project conventions (see CLAUDE.md)
- Make minimal, focused changes
- Verify fix
- Run subset of tests for this group
- Use pytest markers or file patterns:
