fix: ci - run the full jest suite green via delegated runners (#3552)

[eleshar]

Bugfix Pull Request

Linked issues

Fixes #3552. Relates to #3479 (CI enforcement of the suite — deliberately left there, not duplicated here).

Context

• Severity/Impact: Medium (no single command ran the suite green; regressions invisible)
• Affected: Node 24 per .nvmrc (validated on v24.21.0), Jest 30.5.2, babel-jest 30.5.2

Reproduction

On origin/develop: root npm run test:js → 262/268 suites, all tests pass but the same 6 agents/pr-agent suites fail (Must use import to load ES Module). With NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules, those pass but 55 CJS-style suites fail (require is not defined). Neither mode is green.

Root Cause

Two compounding causes: (1) ESM-authored suites (test or source files) use import.meta (mostly fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)), which babel-jest cannot compile for jest's CJS require path — plain import statements transform fine, as the jest transform cache proves. (2) The nested agents/pr-agent package already owned a working vm-modules runner, but root jest also matched its suites (failing), and its test script hardcoded node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js, which does not exist without a nested install (fresh clone + root npm ci).

Fix Summary

• .jest.config.cjs: ignore agents/pr-agent/ (delegation with comment, matching the file's existing documented-ignore style).
• Root test:js: append && npm --prefix agents/pr-agent test — one command, both runners.
• agents/pr-agent/package.json: all six node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/... scripts → NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest ... (PATH resolution via npm parent .bin dirs works with and without a nested install).
• New guard scripts/validation/__tests__/test-wiring.test.js: asserts the chain, the delegation, that every pr-agent test file is matched by the nested runner, and that ignored standalone suites have dedicated scripts.

Verification

• Tests added/updated to cover the bug (wiring guard 4/4; proven: removing the chain fails it, restoring passes)
• Manual verification: full npm run test:js → root 252/252 suites (5079 tests) + nested 15/15 (284 tests), all green on Node 24
• Negative/edge cases: fresh worktree without nested node_modules (nested runner resolves root jest); base-vs-branch full runs identical except new passing suites

Additional suites run: pr-agent standalone 15/15.
Update: aligned the changelog-gate test harness with the merged API-based file list (#3521 broke 5 tests by switching the workflow to github.paginate without updating its mock; harness now mocks paginate + changed_files + core.warning, obsolete execSync assertion replaced, new truncation fail-closed test added and mutation-proven). Full test:js is green: root 253/253 suites + nested 15/15. npx eslint on touched files: 0 errors (config file has pre-existing prettier drift, unchanged in style). npm run validate:changelog: PASS. Branch validator: valid.

Risk & Rollback

• Risk level: Low — test wiring only; no production code.
• Rollback plan: revert.

• Full Jest Suite Green — Unified the split test runners; one command covered the whole suite. (#3552)

Preview / Screenshots

Not applicable.

Notes

• Side observation supporting test: full Jest run writes artefacts into the tracked tree #3498: a full suite run dirties scripts/automation/__tests__/performance/results-phase-2b.json and writes .github/reports/ artefacts (reverted before commit).
• CI enforcement of test:js belongs to open fix(ci): no workflow runs the Jest suite, so test regressions merge green #3479 / epic epic: central, tested workflow layer for all org repos (GitHub Free) #3488 — intentionally not added here to avoid duplicating that work or workflow sprawl.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • The JavaScript test workflow now runs the main test suite and the PR agent’s tests together.
  • Test commands for the PR agent now run consistently across unit, integration, end-to-end, and watch modes.
  • Added checks to catch gaps in test-runner wiring and ensure standalone test suites have dedicated commands.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The root JavaScript test command now runs root Jest and then the pr-agent package tests. Root Jest excludes pr-agent tests, which use a separate Jest runner configured with the ESM flag. A new test checks the runner wiring and related standalone scripts.

Issue #3552 requires two coding outcomes. The PR satisfies the supported-command outcome: root test:js runs the root Jest command and then npm --prefix agents/pr-agent test; the nested scripts set NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules; .jest.config.cjs excludes the delegated package; and the PR reports all root and delegated suites passing on Node 24. The PR does not satisfy the enforcement outcome. The reviewed changes add no CI workflow or pre-push hook that runs test:js.

🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 📝 Documentation ⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 20-40 Minutes

AI Description

• Delegates ESM PR-agent suites from root Jest to their VM-modules runner.
• Chains both runners behind root test:js for complete CI coverage.
• Adds wiring guards preventing ignored or orphaned suites.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Use one ESM Jest runner

• ➕ Keeps a single Jest invocation and configuration.
• ➕ Avoids explicit package-level delegation.
• ➖ Breaks existing CommonJS suites that depend on require.
• ➖ Would create a broad, high-risk migration unrelated to the CI bug.

2. Transform import.meta in root Jest

• ➕ Could retain one root test runner.
• ➕ May avoid enabling VM modules.
• ➖ Requires additional Babel transformation and maintenance.
• ➖ Can diverge from native ESM semantics and remain fragile across Jest upgrades.

Recommendation: Keep the delegated-runner approach. It preserves the working execution mode for both CJS and ESM suites, minimizes migration risk, and exposes one root command for CI; the new wiring guard addresses the main risk of delegated suites becoming silently orphaned.

forward slashes before applying the existing `__tests__` and `__integration__`
checks, or split them using `path.sep`. Keep the current exclusions unchanged
across platforms.
- Around line 40-41: Update the test-file filtering in the wiring test to
compare discovered files against the tests actually selected by the delegated
Jest projects, using their `--listTests` output or effective `testMatch` and
extensions. Do not rely solely on the `__tests__` and `__integration__`

CodeRabbit findings — verification and disposition

All three actionable findings were verified against current code (Node v24.21.0, Jest 30.5.2):

1. POSIX-only NODE_OPTIONS= in nested scripts — valid. Already fixed on this branch by 9e46f4e (agents/pr-agent/scripts/jest-vm.js launcher: createRequire resolves jest with or without a nested install, flag passed via argv, exit code propagated). Verified: fresh worktree without nested node_modules → 15/15 pass; exit codes 0/1 propagate correctly.
2. Wiring-test Windows path separators — valid. Already fixed on this branch (toPosix normalization + comparison against the nested runner's own --listTests output). Verified: 4/4 pass; absolute-path invocation returns exit 0 with 15 entries.
3. Directory-name-only orphan check — valid. Same fix as (2). Verified by planting a stray __tests__/e2e/stray.test.js: old logic passed it, new logic fails the suite (then removed).

Additional fix pushed here (40bcd3b): merged PR #3521 switched the changelog gate to github.paginate without updating its test harness, breaking 5 tests on develop. Harness now mocks paginate/changed_files/core.warning, the obsolete execSync assertion was replaced, and a truncation fail-closed test was added (mutation-proven: removing listComplete && fails it). Full npm run test:js: root 253/253 + nested 15/15, all green.

[eleshar]

Supersession note: the single-runner approach on #3496 now covers everything this PR did, verified by execution (269/269 suites green in one invocation). The portable launcher, wiring guard (adapted), and harness fix have been consolidated onto #3496 as c76c56c. Recommend closing this PR once #3496 lands to avoid double-running 15 suites. The .cjs gap found during validation is tracked in #3560.

[eleshar]

Closing as superseded by #3496, which merged to develop as f58448f45d.

The two PRs implemented opposite architectures for the same problem:

• This PR: root Jest ignores agents/pr-agent/; test:js chains a second runner via npm --prefix agents/pr-agent test; the wiring guard asserts that delegation.
• fix: test - load ESM sources that use import.meta.url under Jest (#3472) #3496 (merged): a single root runner. An in-repo Babel plugin rewrites import.meta.url in the test env, so all suites run at root with no delegation. Its guard asserts the opposite — that root does not delegate.

That is why this branch now conflicts on scripts/validation/__tests__/test-wiring.test.js: the two guards are mutually exclusive, and the single-runner one won.

Both PRs' non-conflicting value was carried into #3496 before merge:

• the portable jest-vm.js launcher (cross-platform, no-shell, exit-code propagation)
• the hardened wiring guard, now asserting complete discovery and standalone-script ownership
• the @actions/core import guard (test: import-includes-smoke cannot detect a broken @actions/core import (cited as #3547 proof) #3561, test: guard the @actions/core import form against regression (#3561) #3562)

Result on develop: 270/270 suites, 5361 tests, 0 failures — verified by execution, not inspection.

Nothing here is lost. The delegated-runner approach is deliberately dropped because it permanently excluded 15 suites from the default root runner.

[eleshar]

Superseded by #3496 (single root runner), merged as f58448f. See the comment above for the architecture comparison and where each surviving piece went.
