copilot-instructions unit-and-integration-tests.instructions.md

copilot-instructions unit-and-integration-tests.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from duthaho/copilot-instructions. It costs 1,938 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of pytest instructions for testing Python code. It covers unit tests for individual parts, integration tests for connected parts such as repositories and APIs, and end-to-end tests for complete user flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when arranging Python test folders, writing pytest tests, creating shared fixtures, and checking domain logic, integrations, or full workflows.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent structure for organizing tests and separating isolated checks from tests that use other services or components.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilot-instructions unit-and-integration-tests.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Unit Tests

Test individual components in isolation without external dependencies.

import pytest
from uuid import uuid4
from domain.order import Order, OrderItem, Money

class TestOrder:
    """Test domain logic without dependencies"""

    def test_add_item_to_pending_order(self):
        # Arrange
        order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
        price = Money(10.0, "USD")

        # Act
        order.add_item("product-1", quantity=2, price=price)

        # Assert
        assert len(order.items) == 1
        assert order.items[0].quantity == 2

    def test_cannot_add_item_to_confirmed_order(self):
        # Arrange
        order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4(), status="CONFIRMED")
        price = Money(10.0, "USD")

        # Act & Assert
        with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="Cannot modify confirmed order"):
            order.add_item("product-1", quantity=1, price=price)

    def test_calculate_total_with_multiple_items(self):
        # Arrange
        order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
        order.add_item("p1", 2, Money(10.0, "USD"))
        order.add_item("p2", 1, Money(15.0, "USD"))

        # Act
        total = order.calculate_total()

        # Assert
        assert total.amount == 35.0
        assert total.currency == "USD"

Integration Tests

Test interactions between components with real or in-memory infrastructure.

import pytest
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, Session
from infrastructure.repositories.order_repository import SqlAlchemyOrderRepository
from domain.order import Order

@pytest.fixture
def db_session():
    """In-memory database for testing"""
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///:memory:")
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
    SessionLocal = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
    session = SessionLocal()

    yield session

    session.close()

class TestOrderRepository:
    """Test repository with real database"""

    def test_save_and_retrieve_order(self, db_session: Session):
        # Arrange
        repository = SqlAlchemyOrderRepository(db_session)
        order = Order(id=uuid4(), customer_id=uuid4())
        order.add_item("product-1", 1, Money(10.0, "USD"))

        # Act
        repository.save(order)
        retrieved = repository.get_by_id(order.id)

        # Assert
        assert retrieved is not None
        assert retrieved.id == order.id
        assert len(retrieved.items) == 1

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
