| 1 | +# Dependency & Analysis Fix Documentation |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | +This document summarizes the comprehensive fixes applied to resolve dependency issues and GitHub Actions failures in the HTTP Interceptor Dart library repository. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## Problems Identified |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +### 1. Missing Dependencies |
| 9 | +- **Issue**: Tests used `mockito` for mocking but package wasn't declared in `pubspec.yaml` |
| 10 | +- **Issue**: Missing `build_runner` dependency needed for code generation |
| 11 | +- **Impact**: Tests couldn't find mock classes, build_runner couldn't generate mocks |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### 2. Incorrect Project Type Configuration |
| 14 | +- **Issue**: GitHub Actions used Flutter commands (`flutter analyze`, `flutter test`) instead of Dart commands |
| 15 | +- **Issue**: This is a Dart package, not a Flutter project |
| 16 | +- **Impact**: CI/CD pipeline failures, incorrect tool usage |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### 3. Analysis Configuration Problems |
| 19 | +- **Issue**: `dart analyze` was analyzing the entire workspace including downloaded SDK files |
| 20 | +- **Issue**: SDK files contained thousands of internal errors/conflicts |
| 21 | +- **Impact**: Analysis drowned real project issues in SDK noise (40,000+ false errors) |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### 4. Interface Mismatch Issues |
| 24 | +- **Issue**: Test implementations didn't match the actual `RetryPolicy` interface |
| 25 | +- **Issue**: Mock objects generated from outdated interface signatures |
| 26 | +- **Impact**: Type errors, method not found errors, signature mismatches |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Solutions Implemented |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### 1. Fixed Dependencies (`pubspec.yaml`) |
| 31 | +```yaml |
| 32 | +dev_dependencies: |
| 33 | + lints: ^4.0.0 |
| 34 | + test: ^1.25.8 |
| 35 | + mockito: ^5.4.4 # Added for test mocks |
| 36 | + build_runner: ^2.4.13 # Added for code generation |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | +### 2. Updated GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/validate.yaml`) |
| 40 | +**Before**: Flutter-based workflow |
| 41 | +```yaml |
| 42 | +- name: 📦 Setup Flutter & Deps |
| 43 | + uses: ./.github/actions/setup-flutter |
| 44 | +- name: 📊 Analyze |
| 45 | + run: flutter analyze |
| 46 | +- name: 🧪 Test |
| 47 | + run: flutter test --coverage |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +**After**: Dart-based workflow |
| 51 | +```yaml |
| 52 | +- name: 🐦 Setup Dart |
| 53 | + uses: dart-lang/setup-dart@v1 |
| 54 | + with: |
| 55 | + sdk: stable |
| 56 | +- name: 📦 Get dependencies |
| 57 | + run: dart pub get |
| 58 | +- name: 🔧 Generate mocks |
| 59 | + run: dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs |
| 60 | +- name: 📊 Analyze |
| 61 | + run: ./scripts/analyze.sh |
| 62 | +- name: 🧪 Test |
| 63 | + run: dart test --coverage=coverage |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### 3. Enhanced Analysis Configuration (`analysis_options.yaml`) |
| 67 | +```yaml |
| 68 | +include: package:lints/recommended.yaml |
| 69 | +
|
| 70 | +analyzer: |
| 71 | + exclude: |
| 72 | + - "**/*.g.dart" # Generated files |
| 73 | + - "**/*.mocks.dart" # Mock files |
| 74 | + - "build/**" # Build artifacts |
| 75 | + - ".dart_tool/**" # Dart tooling |
| 76 | + - "dart-sdk/**" # Downloaded SDK files |
| 77 | + - "flutter-sdk/**" # Flutter SDK files |
| 78 | + - "example/**" # Example projects |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +### 4. Created Analysis Script (`scripts/analyze.sh`) |
| 82 | +```bash |
| 83 | +#!/bin/bash |
| 84 | +# Dart analysis script for CI/CD |
| 85 | +# Only analyzes the lib and test directories |
| 86 | +
|
| 87 | +echo "Running Dart analysis..." |
| 88 | +
|
| 89 | +# Set up PATH to use the Dart SDK if needed |
| 90 | +if [ -d "dart-sdk/bin" ]; then |
| 91 | + export PATH="$PWD/dart-sdk/bin:$PATH" |
| 92 | +fi |
| 93 | +
|
| 94 | +# Ensure we're in the right directory |
| 95 | +cd "$(dirname "$0")/.." |
| 96 | +
|
| 97 | +# Run analysis on lib and test directories only |
| 98 | +dart analyze lib test |
| 99 | +
|
| 100 | +echo "Analysis completed successfully!" |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### 5. Configured Mock Generation (`build.yaml`) |
| 104 | +```yaml |
| 105 | +targets: |
| 106 | + $default: |
| 107 | + builders: |
| 108 | + mockito|mockBuilder: |
| 109 | + generate_for: |
| 110 | + - test/**_test.dart |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### 6. Fixed RetryPolicy Interface Implementations |
| 114 | +**Problem**: Test classes had wrong method signatures |
| 115 | +```dart |
| 116 | +// Wrong (old interface) |
| 117 | +FutureOr<bool> shouldAttemptRetryOnResponse(BaseResponse response, BaseRequest request) |
| 118 | +FutureOr<Duration> delayRetryOnException(Exception reason, BaseRequest request) |
| 119 | +
|
| 120 | +// Correct (actual interface) |
| 121 | +FutureOr<bool> shouldAttemptRetryOnResponse(BaseResponse response) |
| 122 | +Duration delayRetryAttemptOnException({required int retryAttempt}) |
| 123 | +Duration delayRetryAttemptOnResponse({required int retryAttempt}) |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +### 7. Updated Mock Usage in Tests |
| 127 | +**Before**: Using non-existent mock methods |
| 128 | +```dart |
| 129 | +when(mockRetryPolicy.delayRetryOnException(any, any)) |
| 130 | + .thenAnswer((_) async => Duration.zero); |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +**After**: Using correct method signatures |
| 134 | +```dart |
| 135 | +when(mockRetryPolicy.delayRetryAttemptOnException(retryAttempt: anyNamed('retryAttempt'))) |
| 136 | + .thenReturn(Duration.zero); |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +## Results Achieved |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +### Analysis Improvement |
| 142 | +- **Before**: 40,000+ issues (mostly SDK false positives) |
| 143 | +- **After**: 90 issues (33 real errors + 57 style warnings) |
| 144 | +- **Reduction**: 99.7% noise elimination |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +### CI/CD Pipeline Status |
| 147 | +- ✅ Dependency resolution working |
| 148 | +- ✅ Mock generation working |
| 149 | +- ✅ Analysis targeting correct files |
| 150 | +- ✅ Proper Dart tooling usage |
| 151 | +- 🔧 33 test method call errors remaining to fix |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### Code Quality |
| 154 | +- Proper separation of concerns (lib vs test analysis) |
| 155 | +- Consistent tooling across local dev and CI/CD |
| 156 | +- Proper dependency management |
| 157 | +- Clean build artifacts handling |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +## Remaining Work |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +### Critical Errors to Fix (33 total) |
| 162 | +1. **Test method calls**: Update remaining test code to use correct method names |
| 163 | +2. **Signature mismatches**: Fix `shouldAttemptRetryOnResponse` calls with extra parameters |
| 164 | +3. **Void result usage**: Fix places where `void` return values are being used as expressions |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +### Style Improvements (57 warnings) |
| 167 | +- Convert double quotes to single quotes (Dart style guide) |
| 168 | +- These are warnings, not blocking errors for CI/CD |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +## Testing the Fixes |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +### Local Development |
| 173 | +```bash |
| 174 | +# Get dependencies |
| 175 | +dart pub get |
| 176 | +
|
| 177 | +# Generate mocks |
| 178 | +dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs |
| 179 | +
|
| 180 | +# Run analysis |
| 181 | +./scripts/analyze.sh |
| 182 | +
|
| 183 | +# Run tests |
| 184 | +dart test |
| 185 | +``` |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +### CI/CD Pipeline |
| 188 | +The GitHub Actions workflow now: |
| 189 | +1. Sets up Dart SDK |
| 190 | +2. Gets dependencies |
| 191 | +3. Generates mocks |
| 192 | +4. Runs analysis on lib/test only |
| 193 | +5. Executes tests with coverage |
| 194 | +6. Checks publish readiness |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +## Key Learnings |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +1. **Project Type Matters**: Dart packages need Dart tooling, not Flutter tooling |
| 199 | +2. **Analysis Scope**: Limit analysis to project files, exclude external dependencies |
| 200 | +3. **Interface Consistency**: Keep test implementations in sync with actual interfaces |
| 201 | +4. **Dependency Declaration**: All used packages must be declared in pubspec.yaml |
| 202 | +5. **Mock Generation**: Requires proper build configuration and dependencies |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +This fix provides a solid foundation for reliable CI/CD analysis and testing of the HTTP Interceptor library. |
