● Terminal Client Improvement Plan - Part 6: Testing & Migration Guide

Overview

Comprehensive testing strategy and step-by-step migration guide to implement all terminal client improvements safely with full test coverage.

A. Comprehensive Testing Strategy

1. Create Test Directory Structure

B. Migration Guide

Step-by-Step Implementation Order

Phase 1: Preparation (Week 1 Day 1-2)

1. Create new files without breaking existing code

Create new modules

touch backend/terminal_client/commands.py touch backend/terminal_client/arg_parser.py touch backend/terminal_client/completions.py touch backend/terminal_client/help_text.py touch backend/terminal_client/player_cache.py touch backend/terminal_client/enhanced_display.py

Create test directory

mkdir -p backend/tests/unit/terminal_client touch backend/tests/unit/terminal_client/init.py

2. Implement shared commands module

• Copy code from Part 1 into commands.py
• Add all imports
• Don't modify repl.py or main.py yet
• Run: python -c "from terminal_client.commands import GameCommands; print('✓ Import successful')"

3. Run tests

Should still pass (no changes to existing code yet)

pytest backend/tests/unit/terminal_client/ -v

Phase 2: Argument Parser (Week 1 Day 3)

1. Implement argument parser

• Copy code from Part 2 into arg_parser.py
• Add unit tests from Part 2
• Test independently:

pytest backend/tests/unit/terminal_client/test_arg_parser.py -v

2. Verify no regressions

Existing tests should still pass

pytest backend/tests/ -v

Phase 3: Update REPL (Week 1 Day 4-5)

1. Create backup

cp backend/terminal_client/repl.py backend/terminal_client/repl.py.backup cp backend/terminal_client/main.py backend/terminal_client/main.py.backup

2. Update repl.py incrementally

Update one command at a time:

Start with new_game

def do_new_game(self, arg): # New implementation using shared commands pass

Test it

python -m terminal_client ⚾ > new_game --league sba

3. Update all commands

• Replace each do_* method with new implementation
• Test each command individually
• Verify existing functionality works

4. Run full test suite

pytest backend/tests/unit/terminal_client/ -v

Phase 4: Tab Completion (Week 2 Day 1-2)

1. Implement completions

• Copy code from Part 3 into completions.py
• Add tests

2. Update REPL class

Add mixin

class GameREPL(GameREPLCompletions, cmd.Cmd): pass

3. Test completions interactively

python -m terminal_client ⚾ > def ⚾ > defensive --

Phase 5: Help System (Week 2 Day 3)

1. Implement help text

• Copy code from Part 4 into help_text.py
• Verify all commands have help data

2. Update help methods in REPL

• Replace do_help method
• Add help_* methods

3. Test help system

python -m terminal_client ⚾ > help ⚾ > help defensive

Phase 6: Player Cache (Week 2 Day 4-5) [OPTIONAL - Requires Week 6 Models]

1. Implement cache (inactive by default)

• Copy code from Part 5
• Set feature flags to False

2. Add tests

• Test cache in isolation
• Don't activate yet

3. Document activation process

• Update CLAUDE.md with activation instructions

Verification Checklist

After each phase, verify:

• All existing tests pass
• New tests pass
• REPL starts without errors
• Can create a new game
• Can submit decisions
• Can resolve plays
• Can see game status
• No import errors
• No runtime errors in logs

Rollback Plan

If something goes wrong:

Quick Rollback:

Restore backups

cp backend/terminal_client/repl.py.backup backend/terminal_client/repl.py cp backend/terminal_client/main.py.backup backend/terminal_client/main.py

Remove new modules

rm backend/terminal_client/commands.py rm backend/terminal_client/arg_parser.py rm backend/terminal_client/completions.py rm backend/terminal_client/help_text.py

Verify system works

python -m terminal_client ⚾ > new_game ⚾ > quit

Incremental Rollback:

If only one component is problematic:

1. Keep working components
2. Revert only the problematic module
3. Remove integration code for that module
4. Continue with working improvements

---

C. Documentation Updates

1. Update backend/terminal_client/CLAUDE.md

Add sections:

Recent Improvements (2025-10-27)

Shared Command Logic

All command implementations now use terminal_client/commands.py for:

• Reduced code duplication (-500 lines)
• Consistent behavior between REPL and CLI
• Easier testing and maintenance

Usage: Commands automatically use shared logic

Robust Argument Parsing

Arguments now use shlex for proper parsing:

• Handles quoted strings with spaces
• Better error messages
• Type validation

Example:

⚾ > defensive --alignment "shifted left"  # Now works!

Tab Completion

All commands support tab completion:
- Command names: new<TAB> → new_game
- Options: defensive --<TAB> → shows all options
- Values: --alignment <TAB> → shows valid alignments

Usage: Press TAB at any point for suggestions

Enhanced Help System

Detailed help with examples:
- help - List all commands
- help <command> - Detailed help with examples

Player Name Display (Future)

Infrastructure ready for Week 6 player models:
- Player cache system implemented
- Enhanced display functions ready
- Feature flags control activation

Activation: Set ENABLE_PLAYER_NAMES = True when ready

### 2. Create Migration Document

#### `backend/.claude/terminal_client_improvements.md`

```markdown
# Terminal Client Improvements - Implementation Log

## Summary

Six major improvements to terminal client:
1. Shared command logic (-500 lines duplication)
2. Robust argument parsing with shlex
3. Tab completion for all commands
4. Enhanced help system
5. Player cache infrastructure (inactive)
6. Comprehensive test suite

D. Final Verification

Manual Testing Checklist

Run through this checklist before considering migration complete:

# 1. Start REPL
python -m terminal_client

# 2. Test help system
⚾ > help
⚾ > help new_game
⚾ > help defensive

# 3. Test tab completion
⚾ > new<TAB>           # Should complete to new_game
⚾ > defensive --<TAB>  # Should show all options
⚾ > defensive --alignment <TAB>  # Should show valid values

# 4. Test argument parsing
⚾ > new_game --league pd --home-team 5
⚾ > defensive --alignment shifted_left --hold 1,3
⚾ > offensive --approach power --hit-run

# 5. Test gameplay
⚾ > defensive
⚾ > offensive
⚾ > resolve
⚾ > status

# 6. Test quick play
⚾ > quick_play 10

# 7. Test error handling
⚾ > defensive --invalid value   # Should show clear error
⚾ > resolve                       # Should fail appropriately (no decisions)

# 8. Test cache commands (if activated)
⚾ > cache stats
⚾ > cache clear

# 9. Exit cleanly
⚾ > quit

Automated Test Run

# Run all tests
pytest backend/tests/unit/terminal_client/ -v --cov=terminal_client --cov-report=html

# Should see:
# - 80+ passing tests
# - ~95% coverage
# - 0 failures

---
E. Success Criteria

Migration is successful when:

- All 80+ tests pass
- Test coverage ≥ 95%
- REPL starts without errors
- All commands work as before
- Tab completion works
- Help system displays correctly
- Argument parsing handles edge cases
- No performance degradation
- Manual testing checklist passes
- Documentation updated
- No regressions in existing functionality

---
Summary

Total New Code: ~1900 lines
Code Removed: ~350 lines (duplicates)
Test Code: ~1300 lines
Net Result: Better, more maintainable, well-tested terminal client

Estimated Implementation Time: 2 weeks (1 developer)

Benefits:
- Reduced duplication
- Better UX (tab completion, help)
- Easier to maintain
- Ready for future enhancements
- Comprehensive test coverage

Risks: Low (incremental migration, full rollback plan)
