Summary

Run WASI snippets through the existing extra_tests/test_snippets.py pytest harness instead of the shell execution loop. pytest runs on host CPython 3.15; the tested Python programs run on RustPython/WASI.

  • A small RUSTPYTHON launcher invokes Wasmer without changing the native execution backend.
  • The existing SampleTestCase.setUpClass() and tearDownClass() generate and remove the CPython slice reference data. There is no manual fixture-generation CI step. Re-enable builtin_slice through this path.
  • Preserve the WASI exclusion list with an optional exact-basename skip setting; CPython reference tests and the default native selection remain unchanged. pytest --deselect is deliberately not used because its node-prefix matching also excludes unrelated siblings such as builtin_str_add when excluding builtin_str.
  • Select only RustPython snippet cases in this job. The native jobs already run their CPython counterparts.
  • Include the launcher, harness, and requirements in change detection so edits to these inputs run WASI CI.

This is independently based on main, not stacked on #9745. It replaces orchestration only, with no extra Rust build or matrix job. The existing CPython unittest step is unchanged.

Verification

  • Fresh main-based wasm32-wasip1 build with the CI profile/features, Rust 1.99.0 / Wasmer 7.5.0.
  • Host CPython 3.15.1 / pytest 9.2.0: 191 passed, 57 explicitly skipped, 248 CPython cases deselected in 76.72 seconds. Selection matches the previous loop exactly, plus the restored slice test.
  • Fixture absent before the run and removed afterward.
  • Negative control: corrupt one reference value after the harness creates the fixture. The WASI snippet makes pytest exit 1, and teardown still removes the fixture.
  • Three selection regression tests pass, including exact-name matching, preserving CPython cases, and the unchanged native default.
  • actionlint, shell syntax, pre-commit hooks, and independent review pass. zizmor reports the same four low-severity self-repository findings as main, with no new findings.
  • Native Rust workspace/CAPI aggregate tests and Clippy were not rerun locally for this test/workflow-only change. Full GitHub CI remains required.

This does not claim full guest-pytest support. A separate local experiment ran pytest inside WASI and passed five fixture/parametrization/exception/capture/tmp-path smoke cases, with assertion rewriting and a failing-test exit-code control. That required sys capture and disabling faulthandler/cache plugins: their default paths require missing os.dup/os.umask. That experiment is not part of this CI change.

AI assistance: OpenAI Codex implemented the harness integration, compared test selections, ran positive/negative controls, and performed independent review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded automated testing of Python snippets in the WASI environment.
    • Snippet tests can now skip selected RustPython cases through a configurable exclusion list, without affecting CPython reference tests.
    • WASI snippet testing now includes builtin_slice.
  • Chores
    • Updated the CI workflow to install the test requirements and run the snippet test suite through the WASI environment.

Use the host CPython harness for fixture setup and teardown and a Wasmer launcher for RustPython execution. Preserve the exact exclusion set without pytest node-prefix deselection, and cover selection behavior with regression tests.

Walkthrough

The WASI CI job now runs snippet tests through pytest and a Wasmer launcher. The test harness supports environment-configured exclusions for RustPython snippets, with unit tests for selection behavior.

Changes: WASI snippet test execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
RustPython snippet exclusions
extra_tests/test_snippets.py, extra_tests/test_snippet_selection.py
The harness reads excluded snippet names from RUSTPYTHON_SNIPPET_EXCLUDE and skips exact matches for RustPython tests. Unit tests cover exact-name matching, CPython reference tests, and an empty exclusion set.
WASI CI test execution
.github/workflows/ci.yaml, extra_tests/rustpython_wasi.sh
The WASI job sets up Python, installs the extra-test requirements, and runs pytest through a Wasmer launcher. The builtin_slice snippet is no longer excluded. The Rust-change detector includes the snippet test runner, launcher, and requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 27b22

The WASI integration is mergeable after normal checks. Testing environment-value parsing would improve regression coverage but is not blocking.

Explanation

The title "Drive WASI snippets through the existing pytest harness" matches the main change. The PR routes WASI snippet CI through the existing extra_tests/test_snippets.py pytest harness, replacing the direct loop that invoked Wasmer per snippet. The title is specific and concise, and it names the key change without file lists or vague terms.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Test the whitespace-separated exclusion value.

Set RUSTPYTHON_SNIPPET_EXCLUDE before importing the harness in an isolated process, and assert that multiple named snippets are skipped. The current tests patch the parsed set, so a comma-splitting regression could pass them while WASI CI runs excluded snippets.
