SKILL.md## Basic Test Structure
```python
import pytest
class TestUserService:
def test_create_user_success(self):
user = create_user(name="John", email="john@test.com")
assert user.name == "John"
assert user.email == "john@test.com"
def test_create_user_invalid_email_fails(self):
with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="Invalid email"):
create_user(name="John", email="invalid")
```
## Fixtures
```python
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def user():
"""Create a test user."""
return User(name="Test User", email="test@example.com")
@pytest.fixture
def authenticated_client(client, user):
"""Client with authenticated user."""
client.force_login(user)
return client
# Fixture with teardown
@pytest.fixture
def temp_file():
path = Path("/tmp/test_file.txt")
path.write_text("test content")
yield path # Test runs here
path.unlink() # Cleanup after test
# Fixture scopes
@pytest.fixture(scope="module") # Once per module
@pytest.fixture(scope="class") # Once per class
@pytest.fixture(scope="session") # Once per test session
```
## conftest.py
```python
# tests/conftest.py - Shared fixtures
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def db_session():
session = create_session()
yield session
session.rollback()
@pytest.fixture
def api_client():
return TestClient(app)
```
## Mocking
```python
from unittest.mock import patch, MagicMock
class TestPaymentService:
def test_process_payment_success(self):
with patch("services.payment.stripe_client") as mock_stripe:
mock_stripe.charge.return_value = {"id": "ch_123", "status": "succeeded"}
result = process_payment(amount=100)
assert result["status"] == "succeeded"
mock_stripe.charge.assert_called_once_with(amount=100)
def test_process_payment_failure(self):
with patch("services.payment.stripe_client") as mock_stripe:
mock_stripe.charge.side_effect = PaymentError("Card declined")
with pytest.raises(PaymentError):
process_payment(amount=100)
# MagicMock for complex objects
def test_with_mock_object():
mock_user = MagicMock()
mock_user.id = "user-123"
mock_user.name = "Test User"
mock_user.is_active = True
result = get_user_info(mock_user)
assert result["name"] == "Test User"
```
## Parametrize
```python
@pytest.mark.parametrize("input,expected", [
("hello", "HELLO"),
("world", "WORLD"),
("pytest", "PYTEST"),
])
def test_uppercase(input, expected):
assert input.upper() == expected
@pytest.mark.parametrize("email,is_valid", [
("user@example.com", True),
("invalid-email", False),
("", False),
("user@.com", False),
])
def test_email_validation(email, is_valid):
assert validate_email(email) == is_valid
```
## Markers
```python
# pytest.ini or pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
markers = [
"slow: marks tests as slow",
"integration: marks integration tests",
]
# Usage
@pytest.mark.slow
def test_large_data_processing():
...
@pytest.mark.integration
def test_database_connection():
...
@pytest.mark.skip(reason="Not implemented yet")
def test_future_feature():
...
@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform == "win32", reason="Unix only")
def test_unix_specific():
...
# Run specific markers
# pytest -m "not slow"
# pytest -m "integration"
```
## Async Tests
```python
import pytest
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_async_function():
result = await async_fetch_data()
assert result is not None
```
## Commands
```bash
pytest # Run all tests
pytest -v # Verbose output
pytest -x # Stop on first failure
pytest -k "test_user" # Filter by name
pytest -m "not slow" # Filter by marker
pytest --cov=src # With coverage
pytest -n auto # Parallel (pytest-xdist)
pytest --tb=short # Short traceback
```

Claude-Mem: AI Development Instructions

CrewAI Development Rules
firecrawl-build-onboarding
Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app — web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
