Run dialogs’ code messages through a live solveit, nbdev-test-style

solveit-test tests notebooks through a running solveit instance. It uses solveit’s runloop and dialog kernels, with current-message tracking and dialog context. nbdev-test uses execnb outside solveit, where these features aren’t available. Use solveit-test for notebooks that depend on them, such as dialoghelper’s own.

from fastcore.test import *

Running one dialog

test_dlg restarts the dialog’s kernel, starting the dialog if needed. It queues code messages in order and waits for them to finish. It returns the messages with error outputs.

By default, it runs all code messages, including those hidden from the AI. Pass ids to select messages explicitly. Each message runs in its dialog’s context on the server.

async def test_dlg(
    dname:str, # Name/path of the dialog (relative to current dialog's folder, or absolute if starts with '/')
    ids:list=None, # Message ids to run (default: all code messages, including those hidden from the AI)
    timeout:int=600, # Max seconds to wait for the run to finish
    poll:float=0.5, # Seconds between completion checks
    save:bool=False, # Empty stored outputs of the messages to run first, so results reflect only this run?
)->list[dict]: # Run messages left with error outputs (empty means the dialog passed)

Restart dname’s kernel, run its code messages through the solveit runloop, and return those that errored

Create a temporary dialog on the live server with an error in its second message. The run continues after the error.

The command line

solveit-test requires a running solveit instance. The notebooks must be under the directory that instance serves. The command maps file paths to dialog names and tests notebooks concurrently.

The command uses aidialog’s Dialog.select_msgs, matching Dialog.execute. It selects code messages, never prompts, with these exclusions:

  • skip_exec: true in frontmatter skips the notebook.
  • eval: false in a cell directive or metadata skips the cell.
  • nbdev_export cells never run.

Testing restarts each dialog’s kernel, including dialogs you have open in solveit. You lose their existing kernel state. Runs change messages and outputs on disk. Use a clean checkout and review the diff afterward.

A kernel crash or queue problem can prevent a selected message from executing. Its stored output can still contain an error from an earlier run. The report cannot distinguish that error from a new one. Use --save to clear the selected messages’ outputs before running them.
