## Doctest Coverage
1600+
1601+
MCP Context Forge implements comprehensive doctest coverage to ensure all code examples in documentation are tested and verified:
1602+
1603+
```bash
1604+
make doctest # Run all doctests
1605+
make doctest-verbose # Run with detailed output
1606+
make doctest-coverage # Generate coverage report
1607+
make doctest-check # Check coverage percentage
1608+
```
1609+
1610+
**Coverage Status:**
1611+
-**Transport Modules**: 100% (base, stdio, SSE, WebSocket, streamable HTTP)
1612+
-**Utility Functions**: 100% (slug generation, JWT tokens, validation)
1613+
-**Configuration**: 100% (settings, environment variables)
1614+
- 🔄 **Service Classes**: ~60% (in progress)
1615+
- 🔄 **Complex Classes**: ~40% (in progress)
1616+
1617+
**Benefits:**
1618+
- All documented examples are automatically tested
1619+
- Documentation stays accurate and up-to-date
1620+
- Developers can run examples directly from docstrings
1621+
- Regression prevention through automated verification
1622+
1623+

# Doctest Coverage
2+
3+
This page documents the comprehensive doctest coverage implementation in MCP Context Forge, which ensures that all code examples in documentation are tested and verified automatically.
4+
5+
---
6+
7+
## Overview
8+
9+
MCP Context Forge implements comprehensive doctest coverage across all modules to ensure:
10+
11+
- **Code Quality**: All documented examples are tested and verified
12+
- **Documentation Accuracy**: Examples in docstrings are always up-to-date with actual code behavior
13+
- **Developer Experience**: Developers can run examples directly from documentation
14+
- **Regression Prevention**: Changes that break documented behavior are caught early
15+
16+
## What is Doctest?
17+
18+
Doctest is a Python testing framework that extracts interactive examples from docstrings and runs them as tests. It's built into Python's standard library and provides:
19+
20+
- **Inline Testing**: Examples in docstrings are automatically tested
21+
- **Documentation Verification**: Ensures examples match actual code behavior
22+
- **Google Style Support**: Works seamlessly with Google-style docstrings
23+
- **CI/CD Integration**: Can be integrated into automated testing pipelines
24+
25+
## Coverage Status

49+
50+
## Running Doctests
51+
52+
### Local Development
53+
54+
```bash
55+
# Run all doctests
56+
make doctest
57+
58+
# Run with verbose output
59+
make doctest-verbose
60+
61+
# Generate coverage report
62+
make doctest-coverage
63+
64+
# Check coverage percentage (fails if < 100%)
65+
make doctest-check
66+
```
67+
68+
### Individual Modules
69+
70+
```bash
71+
# Test a specific module
72+
python -m doctest mcpgateway/transports/base.py -v
73+
74+
# Test with programmatic approach
75+
python -c "import doctest; doctest.testmod(mcpgateway.transports.base)"
76+
```
77+
78+
### CI/CD Integration
79+
80+
Doctests are automatically run in the GitHub Actions pipeline:
81+
82+
```yaml
83+
# .github/workflows/pytest.yml
84+
- name: Run doctests
85+
run: |
86+
pytest --doctest-modules mcpgateway/ -v
87+
```
88+
89+
## Doctest Standards
90+
91+
### Google Docstring Format
92+
93+
All doctests follow the Google docstring format with an "Examples:" section:
94+
95+
```python
96+
def create_slug(text: str) -> str:
97+
"""Convert text to URL-friendly slug.
98+
99+
Args:
100+
text: Input text to convert
101+
102+
Returns:
103+
URL-friendly slug string
104+
105+
Examples:
106+
>>> create_slug("Hello World!")
107+
'hello-world'
108+
109+
>>> create_slug("Special@#$Characters")
110+
'special-characters'
111+
112+
>>> create_slug(" Multiple Spaces ")
113+
'multiple-spaces'
114+
"""
115+
# Implementation here
116+
```
117+
118+
### Best Practices
119+
120+
1. **Comprehensive Examples**: Cover normal cases, edge cases, and error conditions
121+
2. **Async Support**: Use `asyncio.run()` for async function examples
122+
3. **Mock Objects**: Use `unittest.mock` for external dependencies
123+
4. **Clear Expectations**: Make expected output obvious and unambiguous
124+
5. **Error Testing**: Include examples that demonstrate error handling
125+
126+
### Async Function Examples
127+
128+
```python
129+
async def connect(self) -> None:
130+
"""Set up transport connection.
131+
132+
Examples:
133+
>>> transport = MyTransport()
134+
>>> import asyncio
135+
>>> asyncio.run(transport.connect())
136+
>>> transport.is_connected()
137+
True
138+
"""
139+
```
140+
141+
### Mock Usage Examples
142+
143+
```python
144+
def send_message(self, message: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
145+
"""Send message over transport.
146+
147+
Examples:
148+
>>> from unittest.mock import Mock, AsyncMock
149+
>>> mock_transport = Mock()
150+
>>> mock_transport.send = AsyncMock()
151+
>>> import asyncio
152+
>>> asyncio.run(mock_transport.send({"test": "data"}))
153+
>>> mock_transport.send.called
154+
True
155+
"""
156+
```
157+
158+
## Pre-commit Integration
159+
160+
Doctests are integrated into the pre-commit workflow:
161+
162+
```yaml
163+
# .pre-commit-config.yaml
164+
- repo: local
165+
hooks:
166+
- id: doctest
167+
name: Doctest
168+
entry: pytest --doctest-modules mcpgateway/
169+
language: system
170+
types: [python]
171+
```
172+
173+
This ensures that:
174+
- All doctests pass before commits are allowed
175+
- Documentation examples are always verified
176+
- Code quality is maintained automatically
177+
178+
## Coverage Metrics
179+
180+

184+
- **Coverage Percentage**: ~75%
185+
- **Test Examples**: ~500+
186+

195+
196+
## Contributing Guidelines
197+
198+
### Adding Doctests
199+
200+
When adding new functions or methods:
201+
202+
1. **Include Examples**: Always add an "Examples:" section to docstrings
203+
2. **Test Edge Cases**: Cover normal usage, edge cases, and error conditions
204+
3. **Use Google Format**: Follow the established Google docstring format
205+
4. **Async Support**: Use `asyncio.run()` for async functions
206+
5. **Mock Dependencies**: Use mocks for external dependencies
207+
208+
### Example Template
209+
210+
```python
211+
def new_function(param1: str, param2: int) -> bool:
212+
"""Brief description of what the function does.
213+
214+
Longer description explaining the function's purpose, behavior,
215+
and any important implementation details.
216+
217+
Args:
218+
param1: Description of first parameter
219+
param2: Description of second parameter
220+
221+
Returns:
222+
Description of return value
223+
224+
Raises:
225+
ValueError: When parameters are invalid
226+
227+
Examples:
228+
>>> # Normal usage
229+
>>> new_function("test", 42)
230+
True
231+
232+
>>> # Edge case
233+
>>> new_function("", 0)
234+
False
235+
236+
>>> # Error condition
237+
>>> try:
238+
... new_function("test", -1)
239+
... except ValueError as e:
240+
... print("Expected error:", str(e))
241+
Expected error: Invalid parameter
242+
"""
243+
```
244+
245+
### Running Tests
246+
247+
Before submitting a PR:
248+
249+
```bash
250+
# Run all tests including doctests
251+
make test
252+
253+
# Run only doctests
254+
make doctest
255+
256+
# Check linting
257+
make flake8
258+
259+
# Run pre-commit hooks
260+
make pre-commit
261+
```
262+
263+
## Troubleshooting
264+
265+
### Common Issues
266+
267+
1. **Async Functions**: Remember to use `asyncio.run()` in examples
268+
2. **Mock Objects**: Use appropriate mocks for external dependencies
269+
3. **Import Issues**: Ensure all imports are available in doctest context
270+
4. **Whitespace**: Be careful with trailing whitespace in expected output
271+
272+
### Debugging Doctests
273+
274+
```bash
275+
# Run with maximum verbosity
276+
python -m doctest module.py -v
277+
278+
# Run specific function
279+
python -c "import doctest; doctest.run_docstring_examples(function, globals())"
280+
281+
# Check for syntax errors
282+
python -m py_compile module.py
283+
```
284+
285+
