Previously, the TaskManager class in a2a/server/tasks/task_manager.py did not perform any validation on the task_id during initialization. This could lead to silent failures or inconsistencies in task storage if an invalid ID (such as an empty string) was provided.

Impact

Adding this validation improves the robustness of the TaskManager and prevents downstream errors in task management, especially for database or in-memory stores.

Fix

In a2a/server/tasks/task_manager.py, a check has been added to the __init__ method of the TaskManager to validate the task_id. It now ensures that if a task_id is provided, it is a non-empty string. If the validation fails, a ValueError is raised.

A corresponding unit test has been added to tests/server/tasks/test_task_manager.py to verify that the validation works as expected.

Summary of Changes

Hello @pankaj-bind, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the robustness and reliability of the TaskManager by introducing critical input validation for task identifiers during object initialization. This proactive measure prevents potential silent failures and inconsistencies that could arise from malformed or invalid task_id inputs, thereby improving the overall stability of task management operations.

Highlights

  • Input Validation: Implemented robust input validation for the task_id parameter within the TaskManager's __init__ method in src/a2a/server/tasks/task_manager.py. This ensures that task_id is a non-empty string, raising a ValueError if an invalid value (e.g., empty string, non-string type) is provided.
  • Unit Testing: Added a new unit test case, test_task_manager_invalid_task_id, to tests/server/tasks/test_task_manager.py. This test verifies that the TaskManager correctly raises a ValueError when initialized with invalid task_id values, such as an empty string or an integer.

Code Review

This pull request introduces important input validation for task_id in the TaskManager, which enhances the robustness of the class. The implementation is correct and is accompanied by a new unit test. My feedback focuses on improving the readability of the validation logic and making the new test more maintainable and comprehensive by using pytest.mark.parametrize.
