# Permissions System Test Scenarios

## Overview

This document describes the comprehensive end-to-end test scenarios for the permissions system, implemented in `test_permissions_system.py`.

The permissions system consists of:
1. **Platform Detection** (`cli/platform_detector.py`) - Detects OS, shell, and WSL
2. **Permissions Generation** (`cli/permissions_generator.py`) - Generates platform-specific permissions
3. **Init Integration** (`cli/commands/init.py`) - Creates permissions during init
4. **Validation** (`cli/commands/permissions.py`) - Validates permissions configuration

## Test Coverage Summary

**Total Tests**: 32 comprehensive end-to-end tests

## Detailed Test Scenarios

### 1. End-to-End Workflows (TestPermissionsSystemEndToEnd)

Tests the complete workflow from initialization through validation.

#### test_init_creates_valid_permissions_linux
**Purpose**: Verify init creates valid permissions on Linux that pass validation
**Steps**:
1. Mock platform detection to return Linux
2. Run `trustable-ai init --no-interactive`
3. Verify permissions file created
4. Verify file has valid JSON structure
5. Run `trustable-ai permissions validate`
6. Verify validation passes (exit code 0)

**Acceptance Criteria**: Init creates permissions → validate confirms they're valid

#### test_init_creates_valid_permissions_windows
**Purpose**: Verify init creates valid permissions on Windows
**Platform**: Windows, PowerShell
**Key Check**: Windows-specific patterns are included

#### test_init_creates_valid_permissions_macos
**Purpose**: Verify init creates valid permissions on macOS
**Platform**: macOS (Darwin), zsh
**Key Check**: macOS-specific patterns are included

#### test_init_creates_valid_permissions_wsl
**Purpose**: Verify init creates valid permissions on WSL
**Platform**: Linux with WSL flag set
**Key Check**: WSL is detected and mentioned in output

#### test_init_validate_counts_match
**Purpose**: Verify counts shown in init summary match validate output
**Steps**:
1. Run init, extract permission counts
2. Run validate, extract permission counts
3. Verify counts match exactly

**Prevents**: Inconsistency between init and validate reporting

---

### 2. Platform-Specific Permissions (TestPlatformSpecificPermissions)

Tests that permissions adapt to each platform correctly.

#### test_linux_permissions_have_bash_patterns
**Purpose**: Verify Linux permissions include bash commands
**Checks**:
- Git commands present
- `ls`, `grep`, `find` present
- All patterns in `Bash(...:*)` format

#### test_windows_permissions_avoid_bash_only_commands
**Purpose**: Verify Windows permissions use cross-platform patterns
**Checks**:
- All patterns in `Bash(...:*)` format (Claude Code uses Bash tool)
- No bash-only commands that won't work on Windows

#### test_wsl_permissions_detected_correctly
**Purpose**: Verify WSL is detected and appropriate permissions generated
**Checks**:
- Init output mentions WSL
- Permissions validate successfully

---

### 3. Permissions Modification Workflows (TestPermissionsModificationWorkflows)

Tests user modification and re-validation scenarios.

#### test_adding_safe_pattern_remains_valid
**Purpose**: Adding safe custom pattern keeps permissions valid
**Workflow**:
1. Init creates valid permissions
2. User adds `Bash(my-custom-safe-tool:*)`
3. Re-validate passes

**Real-World**: Developer adds custom build tool

#### test_adding_unsafe_pattern_triggers_warning
**Purpose**: Adding unsafe pattern to allow list triggers warning
**Workflow**:
1. Init creates valid permissions
2. User adds `Bash(rm -rf:*)` to allow list
3. Validate warns (exit code 1)

**Prevents**: Accidental auto-approval of destructive operations

#### test_adding_conflict_triggers_error
**Purpose**: Conflicting patterns trigger error
**Workflow**:
1. Init creates valid permissions
2. User adds same pattern to both allow and deny
3. Validate errors (exit code 2)

**Prevents**: Configuration contradictions

#### test_fixing_conflict_then_revalidate_succeeds
**Purpose**: Fixing conflicts allows re-validation to succeed
**Workflow**:
1. Create conflict
2. Validate errors
3. Remove conflicting pattern
4. Re-validate succeeds

**Real-World**: Developer fixes configuration after validation failure

#### test_adding_duplicate_triggers_warning
**Purpose**: Duplicate patterns trigger warnings
**Workflow**:
1. Add same pattern twice
2. Validate warns about duplicate

**Prevents**: Configuration bloat and confusion

---

### 4. Error Scenarios (TestPermissionsErrorScenarios)

Tests error detection and reporting.

#### test_corrupted_json_detected_by_validate
**Purpose**: Validate detects JSON corruption
**Test**: Write `{ invalid json !!` to settings file
**Expected**: Exit code 2, "Invalid JSON" in output

#### test_missing_permissions_key_detected
**Purpose**: Validate detects missing permissions key
**Test**: Write JSON without "permissions" key
**Expected**: Exit code 2, "Missing 'permissions' key" in output

#### test_missing_required_field_detected
**Purpose**: Validate detects missing required fields
**Test**: Omit "ask" field from permissions
**Expected**: Exit code 2, "Missing required field: permissions.ask"

#### test_non_string_pattern_detected
**Purpose**: Validate detects non-string patterns
**Test**: Include integer in pattern list
**Expected**: Exit code 2, "must be string" in output

#### test_invalid_pattern_format_warning
**Purpose**: Validate warns about invalid pattern formats
**Test**: Include pattern without `Bash(...:*)` format
**Expected**: Exit code 1 (warning), format warning in output

---

### 5. Edge Cases (TestPermissionsEdgeCases)

Tests boundary conditions and unusual scenarios.

#### test_empty_permissions_lists_valid
**Purpose**: Empty permission lists are valid (unusual but allowed)
**Test**: All three lists (allow, deny, ask) are empty
**Expected**: Valid structure, exit code 0

**Prevents**: False positives when starting fresh

#### test_extra_settings_preserved
**Purpose**: Extra settings beyond permissions are preserved
**Workflow**:
1. Init creates permissions
2. User adds custom settings
3. Validate ignores extras
4. Custom settings still present after validation

**Prevents**: Loss of user customizations

#### test_permissions_file_in_custom_location
**Purpose**: Validate works with custom file paths
**Test**: Create permissions file in non-default location
**Command**: `trustable-ai permissions validate --settings-path custom/path.json`
**Expected**: Validation works correctly

#### test_very_long_pattern_list
**Purpose**: Validation handles large permission lists
**Test**: 100 patterns in allow list
**Expected**: Validates successfully, shows "Auto-approved (allow): 100"

---

### 6. Recommendations (TestPermissionsRecommendations)

Tests actionable recommendation generation.

#### test_recommendations_for_unsafe_patterns
**Purpose**: Recommendations suggest moving unsafe patterns to ask list
**Test**: Add `Bash(git push --force:*)` to allow
**Expected**: Warning with recommendation to move to ask

#### test_recommendations_for_duplicates
**Purpose**: Recommendations suggest removing duplicates
**Test**: Add duplicate pattern
**Expected**: Warning with recommendation to remove duplicate

#### test_recommendations_for_conflicts
**Purpose**: Recommendations suggest resolving conflicts
**Test**: Add conflicting pattern
**Expected**: Error with recommendation to remove from one list

---

### 7. Cross-Platform Compatibility (TestPermissionsCrossPlatform)

Tests permissions work across all platforms.

#### test_all_platforms_generate_valid_permissions
**Purpose**: All supported platforms generate valid permissions
**Platforms Tested**:
- Linux
- Linux with WSL
- Windows
- macOS (Darwin)

**For Each Platform**:
1. Mock platform detection
2. Run init
3. Run validate
4. Verify both succeed

#### test_platform_specific_commands_included
**Purpose**: Platform-specific commands are included appropriately
**Test**: Check Windows permissions include Windows-friendly patterns
**Verify**: All patterns use `Bash(...:*)` format (Claude Code requirement)

---

### 8. CLI Integration (TestPermissionsIntegrationWithCLI)

Tests permissions system integration with CLI commands.

#### test_init_without_interactive_generates_permissions
**Purpose**: Non-interactive init generates permissions
**Test**: `trustable-ai init --no-interactive`
**Verify**: Permissions file created, mentioned in output

#### test_init_failure_doesnt_leave_partial_permissions
**Purpose**: Init handles permissions generation failures gracefully
**Test**: Mock platform detection to fail
**Expected**: Init continues (permissions non-critical)

**Prevents**: Partial/corrupted permission files blocking init

#### test_validate_provides_helpful_error_when_no_init
**Purpose**: Validate provides clear message when permissions don't exist
**Test**: Run validate without running init
**Expected**: Exit code 2, "not found", suggests running init

## Key Design Principles

### 1. End-to-End Focus
Tests verify complete workflows (init → validate), not just individual components.

### 2. Cross-Platform Validation
Every test that could be platform-dependent is tested on all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, WSL).

### 3. Error Recovery
Tests verify not just that errors are detected, but that users can recover and re-validate.

### 4. Real-World Scenarios
Tests model actual user workflows (developer onboarding, team collaboration, configuration review).

### 5. Actionable Feedback
Tests verify that error messages provide actionable recommendations for fixes.

---

## Relationship to Other Tests

### Unit Tests
- `test_permissions_generator.py`: Tests PermissionsTemplateGenerator in isolation
- `test_permissions_validate.py`: Tests PermissionsValidator in isolation
- `test_platform_detector.py`: Tests PlatformDetector in isolation

### Integration Tests
- `test_cli_permissions.py`: Tests CLI validate command integration
- `test_permissions_system.py`: **This file** - Tests complete end-to-end workflows

### Coverage Gaps Filled
The end-to-end tests in `test_permissions_system.py` fill these gaps:
1. **Cross-component integration**: Platform detection → generation → init → validate
2. **User workflows**: Complete multi-step scenarios
3. **Error recovery**: Fix → re-validate cycles
4. **Platform switching**: Same workflow on different platforms
5. **Real-world usage**: Team collaboration, developer onboarding

---

## Maintenance Notes

### Adding New Test Scenarios
When adding new permissions features, add tests to verify:
1. **Happy path**: Feature works in normal case
2. **Error path**: Feature handles errors gracefully
3. **Cross-platform**: Feature works on all platforms
4. **Integration**: Feature integrates with init and validate
5. **Recovery**: Users can fix errors and re-run

### Common Patterns
```python
# Pattern 1: Mock platform detection
with patch.object(PlatformDetector, 'detect_platform') as mock_detect:
    mock_detect.return_value = {
        "os": "Linux",
        "is_wsl": False,
        "shell": "bash",
        "platform_specific": {}
    }
    # Test code here

# Pattern 2: Init → modify → validate
runner = CliRunner()
with runner.isolated_filesystem():
    # Init
    init_result = runner.invoke(cli, ["init", "--no-interactive"])
    assert init_result.exit_code == 0

    # Modify
    settings_path = Path(".claude/settings.local.json")
    # ... modify permissions ...

    # Validate
    validate_result = runner.invoke(cli, ["permissions", "validate"])
    assert validate_result.exit_code == expected_code
```

## Test Execution Time

- **Individual test**: ~0.3-0.5s (with mocking)
- **Full suite (32 tests)**: ~15s
- **All permissions tests (180 tests)**: ~20s

Fast execution enables rapid development iteration.
