## Running Tests

### Using pytest (Recommended)

```bash
# Run all conversion tests
cd xwnode
python -m pytest tests/core/test_sql_to_xwquery_file_conversion.py -v

# Run specific test class
python -m pytest tests/core/test_sql_to_xwquery_file_conversion.py::TestSQLToXWQueryFileConversion -v

# Run specific test
python -m pytest tests/core/test_sql_to_xwquery_file_conversion.py::TestSQLToXWQueryFileConversion::test_simple_query_conversion -v

# Run with detailed output
python -m pytest tests/core/test_sql_to_xwquery_file_conversion.py -v --tb=long
```

### Using Standalone Runner

```bash
# Run standalone test script
cd xwnode
python tests/core/run_sql_to_xwquery_test.py
```

## Test Data Files

### Input Files (inputs/)

#### test_simple_users.sql
Simple user query demonstrating basic SQL features:
```sql
-- Simple User Query
SELECT 
    user_id,
    name,
    email,
    created_at
FROM users
WHERE active = true
    AND created_at >= '2024-01-01'
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 100;
```

#### test_ecommerce_analytics.sql
Complex analytical query demonstrating advanced SQL features:
- Common Table Expressions (CTEs)
- Multiple JOINs
- Aggregation functions
- Window functions
- CASE expressions
- Complex filtering

### Expected Output Files (expected/)

#### test_simple_users.xwquery
Expected XWQuery output for simple query (currently SQL-compatible).

#### test_ecommerce_analytics.xwquery
Expected XWQuery output for complex query (currently SQL-compatible).

## Conversion Process

### Step-by-Step Conversion

1. **Read SQL File**
   ```python
   sql_content = Path("query.sql").read_text()
   ```

2. **Initialize Strategy**
   ```python
   from exonware.xwnode.strategies.queries.xwquery_strategy import XWQueryScriptStrategy
   xwquery_strategy = XWQueryScriptStrategy()
   ```

3. **Parse SQL**
   ```python
   parsed_strategy = xwquery_strategy.parse_script(sql_content)
   ```

4. **Get Actions Tree**
   ```python
   actions_tree = parsed_strategy.get_actions_tree()
   tree_data = actions_tree.to_native()
   ```

5. **Generate XWQuery**
   ```python
   xwquery_content = sql_content  # Currently SQL-compatible
   ```

6. **Write XWQuery File**
   ```python
   Path("query.xwquery").write_text(xwquery_content)
   ```

## XWQuery Script Features

### 50 Action Types

**Core SQL Operations:**
- SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
- CREATE, ALTER, DROP
- MERGE, LOAD, STORE

**Query Operations:**

- BETWEEN, LIKE, IN
- TERM, RANGE, HAS

**Graph Operations:**
- MATCH, OUT, IN_TRAVERSE, PATH

**Data Operations:**
