logVariables is an implementation detail and declared private. It is fully exercised in the python scripted tests, so no need to test it here.

Removed the logVariables() call from the test. The test now only verifies openLogFile(), loggingEnabled(), and closeLogFile() functionality. (commit a0f1645)

26-28: Consider adding explicit includes for threading facilities.The test at line 1405 uses
this_thread::sleep_forbut<thread>and<chrono>headers are not explicitly included. While these may be transitively included, explicit includes would be more robust.#include <fstream> #include <cstdio> #include <algorithm> +#include <thread> +#include <chrono>
1410-1429: Strengthen assertions in history test.Line 1418's assertion
EXPECT_TRUE(pushed || history.size() > 0)is too weak and may pass even when pushHistory() fails to work correctly. The test should verify the expected behavior more precisely.Consider testing the actual expected behavior:
auto var1 = model->addItem(VariablePtr(VariableType::flow, "histVar")); + size_t initialSize = history.size(); bool pushed = pushHistory(); - // Should push only if different from previous - EXPECT_TRUE(pushed || history.size() > 0); + // Should push if different from previous state + if (pushed) { + EXPECT_GT(history.size(), initialSize); + }
1761-1771: Address exportSchema test workaround.Line 1765 hardcodes schema version 3 with a comment indicating that the default schema 1 crashes. This suggests the test is working around a bug rather than properly testing the functionality.
Consider:
- If schema version 1 truly crashes, this should be investigated and fixed as a separate issue
- The test should verify both default and non-default schema versions work correctly
- If certain schema versions are deprecated or unsupported, document this explicitly
Would you like me to help investigate why schema version 1 crashes and create an issue to track it?
1753-1758: Clarify assertion logic.Line 1757's assertion
EXPECT_FALSE(result || reset_flag())is difficult to understand at a glance. The test appears to expect bothresultandreset_flag()to be false after callingresetIfFlagged().Consider splitting into two clear assertions:
flags |= reset_needed; bool result = resetIfFlagged(); - EXPECT_FALSE(result || reset_flag()); + EXPECT_FALSE(result); // resetIfFlagged should return false after processing + EXPECT_FALSE(reset_flag()); // reset_needed flag should be cleared

1283-1891: Appreciate the comprehensive test coverage expansion!The addition of 44 new tests significantly improves code coverage for the Minsky class. The tests follow existing patterns well and cover a wide range of functionality. However, a few quality improvements would strengthen the test suite:
- Addressed: Past review feedback about
logVariables()andDimension::Typehas been properly incorporated ✓- Smoke tests: Many tests are "just verify it doesn't crash" which provides basic coverage but limited verification of correctness - this is acceptable for initial coverage
- Key issues flagged: Non-determinism (sleep), tautological assertions, and portability concerns have been noted in separate comments
Overall, this is a solid contribution to test coverage that will help catch regressions.

Remove tautological assertions.
Lines 1572 and 1577 contain assertions that always pass and provide no test value:

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In test/testMinsky.cc around lines 1561 to 1582, remove the two tautological
assertions that always pass: the EXPECT_TRUE(available || !available) and
EXPECT_TRUE(expired || !expired). Replace them by deleting those assertions
entirely (no-op checks), leaving the logic to call ravelAvailable(), and if
available then call ravelExpired() and daysUntilRavelExpires(); if you want an
assertion instead, add a meaningful check (e.g., validate returned values are
within expected ranges or types) — but do not keep the current always-true
expressions.

Unfortunately, we're allowed to have multiple variables of the same name (they all reference to the same VariableValue). Adding a VariableValue for which no variable exists would be an inconsistent situation.
The other thing is does is call update on a GodleyIcon - can add a GodleyIcon, add flow & stock variables to the table, then check that the GodleyIcons flowVars and stockVars attributes have been populated by the table entries (ie that update was called on the GodleyIcon.

1693-1717:makeVariablesConsistenttest doesn’t yet verify contents/duplicatesThis test currently checks only that

flow1inflowVars,stock1instockVars) and that duplicate entries in thevariableValuestable are removed. This test still doesn’t check either of those behaviours. Based on that feedback, you might extend it along the lines of:auto flowNames = godley->flowVars(); auto stockNames = godley->stockVars(); auto hasFlow1 = std::any_of(flowNames.begin(), flowNames.end(), [](auto& v){ return v->name()=="flow1"; }); auto hasStock1 = std::any_of(stockNames.begin(), stockNames.end(), [](auto& v){ return v->name()=="stock1"; }); EXPECT_TRUE(hasFlow1); EXPECT_TRUE(hasStock1); // Optionally: assert there are no duplicate entries here or in variableValuesand add a separate setup that deliberately creates duplicate
variableValuesentries, then confirms they are de‑duplicated aftermakeVariablesConsistent().
🧹 Nitpick comments (8)
test/testMinsky.cc (8)
1318-1327: Avoid depending onmultipleEquities(bool)return semanticsThe test currently assumes
multipleEquities(true)returnstrue:EXPECT_FALSE(multipleEquities()); bool result = multipleEquities(true); EXPECT_TRUE(result); EXPECT_TRUE(multipleEquities());If the setter returns the previous value (a common pattern), this will fail even though behaviour is correct. You can make the test robust by only asserting on the getter:
- EXPECT_FALSE(multipleEquities()); - bool result = multipleEquities(true); - EXPECT_TRUE(result); - EXPECT_TRUE(multipleEquities()); + EXPECT_FALSE(multipleEquities()); + multipleEquities(true); // ignore return value + EXPECT_TRUE(multipleEquities());The rest of the test (toggling back to
false) can remain as‑is.
1409-1428: History test could assert more specific expectations
historyOperationsuses a fairly loose condition:bool pushed = pushHistory(); // Should push only if different from previous EXPECT_TRUE(pushed || history.size() > 0);After
clearHistory(), ifpushHistory()is expected to always push once, you can tighten this to catch more regressions, for example:- bool pushed = pushHistory(); - // Should push only if different from previous - EXPECT_TRUE(pushed || history.size() > 0); + bool pushed = pushHistory(); + // First push after clearHistory() should add an entry + EXPECT_TRUE(pushed); + EXPECT_GT(history.size(), 0u);Not critical, but worth considering to make the test more meaningful.
1536-1571: Autosave timing: consider polling instead of a single fixed sleepThe autosave test relies on a single
sleep_for(100ms)before checkingexists(testFile). On slower machines or under load, autosave might complete later and cause intermittent failures.You could keep the same overall delay but poll with a timeout, e.g.:
- // Give some time for autosave to complete (it runs in background) - std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100)); - - // Verify the autosave file was created - EXPECT_TRUE(exists(testFile)); + // Give some time for autosave to complete (it runs in background) + using namespace std::chrono_literals; + bool found = false; + for (int i = 0; i < 10 && !found; ++i) + { + if (exists(testFile)) found = true; + else std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms); + } + EXPECT_TRUE(found);This keeps the test deterministic while reducing flakiness risk.
1668-1688: Comment and expectations forinsertGroupFromFileare inconsistentHere the comment says “model->items should be empty”, but the assertion expects exactly one item:
// model->items should be empty (time operation is removed by clearAllMaps and restored by load) EXPECT_EQ(1, model->items.size()); // Only time operationThis is self‑contradictory and could confuse future readers. Consider aligning the comment with the assertion:
- // model->items should be empty (time operation is removed by clearAllMaps and restored by load) - EXPECT_EQ(1, model->items.size()); // Only time operation + // After insertGroupFromFile, only the implicit time operation should be in model->items + EXPECT_EQ(1, model->items.size());The rest of the test (groups and nested items) looks good.
1720-1750: Questionable assumptions ingarbageCollecttest setupThis test expects
constructEquations()to populateflowVars,stockVars,equations, andintegrals:auto var1 = model->addItem(VariablePtr(VariableType::flow, "gcVar")); auto op1 = model->addItem(OperationPtr(OperationType::add)); model->addWire(op1->ports(0), var1->ports(1)); constructEquations(); EXPECT_GT(flowVars.size(), 0); EXPECT_GT(stockVars.size(), 0); EXPECT_GT(equations.size(), 0); EXPECT_GT(integrals.size(), 0);With only a single
addoperation and noIntOp/GodleyIcon, it’s not obvious thatintegrals(or evenstockVars) will be non‑empty; this may make the test brittle or outright failing, depending on howconstructEquations()is defined.You might want to either:
- Build a slightly richer model that’s guaranteed to yield non‑empty
flowVars/stockVars/equations/integrals(e.g. including anIntOpor a small Godley example), or- Relax the pre‑
garbageCollect()expectations and focus this test purely on “whatever is there gets cleared”.Please double‑check the current behaviour of
constructEquations()against these assertions to ensure the test isn’t encoding an incorrect assumption.
1838-1842: ConfirmresetIfFlaggedreturn conventionThe test asserts:
flags |= reset_needed; bool result = resetIfFlagged(); EXPECT_FALSE(result || reset_flag());which is equivalent to requiring:
result == false, andreset_flag() == false(i.e., flag cleared).That matches a convention “return false if a reset happened”, but many APIs use the opposite (“return true if a reset was performed”). Please confirm this matches the actual implementation and intended contract; if not, consider flipping the expectation to e.g.:
EXPECT_TRUE(result); EXPECT_FALSE(reset_flag());so callers can interpret the result more intuitively.
1845-1855: Use portable, unique temp path inexportSchematest
exportSchemastill hard‑codes a/tmppath:string schemaFile = "/tmp/test_schema.xsd"; exportSchema(schemaFile,3); ... ifstream f(schemaFile); ... remove(schemaFile.c_str());This is non‑portable and can collide with concurrent test runs. You’re already using Boost.Filesystem elsewhere; I’d suggest:
- string schemaFile = "/tmp/test_schema.xsd"; + auto schemaPath = temp_directory_path() / unique_path("test_schema_%%%%-%%%%.xsd"); + std::string schemaFile = schemaPath.string();The rest of the test can continue to use
schemaFileas a string.
1638-1644:srandTestprovides minimal valueThis test only calls
srandtwice and asserts nothing beyond “no crash”:// Just verify it doesn't crash srand(42); srand(123);Given
srandis a trivial C library function, this doesn’t really exercise Minsky code and may be considered noise in the suite (similar to other “useless tests” that were previously removed). I’d recommend removing it, or, if you want to keep it, at least verify some observable behaviour that depends on the seed.

26-31: Includes and Boost.Filesystem usage look appropriateAdding
<fstream>,<cstdio>,<algorithm>,<thread>,<chrono>, and Boost.Filesystem plus theusing namespace boost::filesystem;is consistent with later usage (ifstream,remove,temp_directory_path,unique_path,exists) and fixes prior missing-include issues. No concerns here.Also applies to: 33-33
1287-1636: Broad set of new Minsky tests significantly improves coverageThe new tests for logging, utility methods, available operations/types, fonts, LaTeX rendering, clipboard, autosave, save/load, canvas/group operations, flags, dimensions, Godley ops, variable typing, history, commandHook, and named items are generally well‑structured and target real behaviours (return values, side‑effects, persisted state), not just “doesn’t crash”. They also follow earlier guidance (e.g., unique temp filenames, avoiding testing private helpers).

1393-1406: Clipboard test is acceptable given async constraintsThe clipboard test exercises both non-empty and empty cases and uses a short
sleep_foronce to let the clipboard worker catch up, which matches the project’s prior clarification that a timing gap is unavoidable here. The pattern is consistent with earlier decisions; no further changes needed.
1430-1460: renameDimension/dimensionOperations test looks correctThis test correctly:
- Creates a dimension with
Dimension(Dimension::value, "test"),- Adds that dimension into a variable’s hypercube,
- Calls
renameDimension, and- Verifies both the dimensions map and the variable’s hypercube have been updated, including checking that the old name is gone.
This matches the intended behavior and addresses the earlier “first argument is the enum” concern.
1462-1490: Godley operations test covers DE mode and flow var filtering wellThe
godleyOperationstest:
- Toggles DE mode via
setAllDEmodeand checksdoubleEntryCompliant,- Calls
allGodleyFlowVars()and verifies that:flow1is present and:stock1is absent.That’s a good behavioral check of both table configuration and variable classification. No issues.
1583-1596: namedItems test correctly exercises naming and lookupThis test:
- Names the current item,
- Confirms the name appears in
namedItems,- Calls
itemFromNamedItemand checkscanvas.itemis restored and equals the original variable.That hits the key behaviors for the named-item mechanism.
1598-1608: flagOperations test is correct and matches previous feedbackYou set
flagsto a non-zero combination (is_edited | reset_needed), push/pop flags, and assert equality. This directly hits the intended semantics and follows the earlier guidance to avoid testing with zero flags.
1691-1753: makeVariablesConsistent test misses explicit duplicate-variable setupThis test does a good job of checking that:
makeVariablesConsistent()populatesGodleyIcon’sflowVarsandstockVarsfrom the table,flow1appears only inflowVars,stock1appears only instockVars.However, the comment “Create duplicate entries in variableValues table (same valueId)” is not backed by any code: no explicit duplicates are created before calling
makeVariablesConsistent(). The final assertion onvariableValues.size()(EXPECT_LE(variableValues.size(), varValuesSizeBefore + 4)) is very weak and doesn’t actually prove duplicates were removed.If you specifically want to test duplicate handling, consider:
- Manually inserting two
VariableValueentries with the samevalueIdbeforemakeVariablesConsistent(), and- After the call, asserting that:
- Only one remains for that
valueId, and- The total size decreased appropriately (or at least did not increase for those entries).
As it stands, the duplicate-removal behavior is not really exercised.
1755-1787: garbageCollect test hits main behaviorThe test:
- Creates a small network,
- Calls
constructEquations()and asserts non-emptyflowVars,stockVars,equations, andintegrals(when possible),- Calls
garbageCollect()and then ensures those collections are empty,- Falls back to calling
garbageCollect()even ifconstructEquations()throws, and asserts the model still has at least one item.This gives useful coverage of both the “normal” path and the “constructEquations fails” path. It looks reasonable for a high-level behavioral test.
1789-1816: imposeDimensions test is clear and correctYou correctly:
- Populate
dimensionswithtestDimension(time),- Give the variable’s hypercube a
testDimensionaxis with a conflicting type (value),- Call
imposeDimensions(), and- Verify the hypercube axis type is now
Dimension::time.This directly checks the intended override semantics of
imposeDimensions().
1818-1839: cycleCheck test cleanly covers both acyclic and cyclic casesThe test first builds an acyclic graph and checks
cycleCheck()is false, then adds a simple cycle (var3 -> op2 -> var3) and expectscycleCheck()to return true. That’s a good minimal coverage of the detection logic.
1880-1891: Use portable temporary path instead of hard‑coded/tmpfor exportSchema
exportSchemacurrently writes to a hard-coded/tmp/test_schema.xsd. This is:
- Not portable to non-Unix platforms (e.g., Windows),
- Non-unique, so parallel or repeated test runs can collide.
Earlier review comments already pushed other tests toward
temp_directory_path()andunique_path(). This test should follow the same pattern, e.g.:auto schemaPath = temp_directory_path() / unique_path("test_schema_%%%%-%%%%.xsd"); string schemaFile = schemaPath.string(); exportSchema(schemaFile, 3); ... remove(schemaFile.c_str());This will make the test robust across platforms and runs.
1893-1922: populateMissingDimensions test is well-structuredThe test clears existing dimensions, populates two variables’ hypercubes with new dimension names/types, calls
populateMissingDimensions(), and then verifies:
- The names are present in
dimensions,- Their types are as expected.
This is a clear and direct behavioral test for the function.
1924-1938: canvasGroupOperations test nicely checks group/model switchingThe test:
- Opens a group in the canvas and verifies
canvas.modelswitches to the group,- Then calls
openModelInCanvas()and checkscanvas.modelswitches back to the root model.This directly validates the navigation behavior and looks correct.
1964-1985: saveCanvasItemAsFile test correctly exercises group save/loadThis test saves a group pointed to by
canvas.item, reloads it afterclearAllMaps(), and verifies that:canvasVaris present. That’s a good end-to-end check of the canvas item save mechanism.
1998-2034: commandHook tests are strong and align with earlier guidanceThe
commandHooktest:
- Initializes history via
pushHistory()and resets the edited flag,- Mutates the model, calls a generic command, and checks:
- History size increased,
- Edited flag set,
- Return value is true;
- Then calls a const command (
"minsky.save") and checks:
- Edited flag stays unset,
- History size unchanged,
- Return value is false.
This matches the described intended behavior and provides good regression coverage.
1872-1878: resetIfFlagged assertion logic appears wrongHere:
flags |= reset_needed; bool result = resetIfFlagged(); EXPECT_FALSE(result || reset_flag());
EXPECT_FALSE(result || reset_flag());is equivalent to asserting!result && !reset_flag(). For a function namedresetIfFlagged, one would normally expect:
- With
reset_neededset, the function does perform a reset, and- Returns
trueto indicate that a reset occurred, while clearing the flag.In that more natural contract, the correct expectations would be:
EXPECT_TRUE(result); EXPECT_FALSE(reset_flag());Even if the current implementation returns
falseafter resetting, this test then forces that (arguably undesirable) behavior by encoding it.Given the earlier comment “Shouldn’t the conjunction be &&?” this line has already attracted attention. I recommend:
- Clarifying the intended semantics of
resetIfFlagged(), and- Updating the test to assert them explicitly (e.g., separate
EXPECT_TRUE/EXPECT_FALSEcalls rather than an opaque boolean expression).Right now, the test is more likely to lock in an incorrect contract than to catch regressions.
🧹 Nitpick comments (8)
test/testMinsky.cc (8)
1287-1316: Logging test is good; prefer filesystemremovefor consistencyThe
loggingFunctionalitytest exercisesopenLogFile,loggingEnabled, header contents, andcloseLogFilewell. One minor point: for symmetry with the rest of the file-system use (Boost FS), consider usingboost::filesystem::remove(logFile)instead of C-styleremove(logFile.c_str())to keep file handling in one abstraction layer.
1408-1428: Strengthen historyOperations assertions
historyOperationscurrently assertsEXPECT_TRUE(pushed || history.size() > 0);after aclearHistory()and a singlepushHistory(). That’s quite weak: it would still pass ifpushHistory()incorrectly returnedfalsebut mutatedhistory, or vice versa.Given the setup, you can make this more precise:
- After
clearHistory()and addinghistVar, the firstpushHistory()should both:
- Return
true, and- Increase
history.size()from 0 to at least 1.Later, after adding
histVar2and callingpushHistory()again, you can assert thathistory.size()increased by exactly 1 beforeundo(1)and thatundoactually restores the previous state (e.g., by checking item counts or specific variable presence).
1492-1522: convertVarType/addIntegral tests are solid; minor simplification possibleBoth tests:
- Verify that the variable’s
VariableValuetype changes as expected (flow→parameterandflow→integral),- In the
addIntegralcase, also assert that the controller is anintegrateoperation viadynamic_pointer_cast<OperationBase>.This is strong coverage. If you wanted, you could drop the initial
auto varItem = dynamic_pointer_cast<VariableBase>(var1);and just usevar1directly (it’s already aVariablePtr), but that’s purely cosmetic.
1534-1570: Autosave test is good; consider polling instead of fixed sleep
autoSaveFileOperationsnicely checks:
setAutoSaveFile/autoSaveFileround-tripping,- That
pushHistory()triggers autosave,- That the autosave file exists, can be loaded, and restores model state,
- That clearing the autosave file name works.
One concern is the fixed
sleep_for(100ms)before checkingexists(testFile). On slower machines or under load, 100 ms may occasionally be too short, making the test flaky.Consider replacing the single sleep with a short polling loop with a bounded timeout, e.g. (pseudo-code):
- Loop for up to ~1–2 seconds:
- If
exists(testFile)break and assert success.- Otherwise
sleep_for(10–20 ms)and retry.- If still not found after the timeout, fail the test.
That keeps the test deterministic while accounting for variable autosave latency.
1637-1643: srandTest offers minimal valueThe
srandTestonly callssrandtwice and checks nothing. Sincesrandis from the C runtime and not a Minsky API, this test doesn’t add much value and could be dropped without reducing coverage of project code.If the intent was only to ensure linkage or to guard a wrapper, consider either:
- Removing the test, or
- If there is a Minsky wrapper around random seeding, testing that instead.
1645-1664: saveAndLoad test is solid; optional: use filesystem removeThis test correctly:
- Saves a model with one extra variable,
- Clears all maps and checks only the time operation remains and
:saveVaris gone,- Reloads the file and verifies the variable is restored.
As with the logging test, you could optionally replace
remove(testFile.c_str())withboost::filesystem::remove(testFile)for consistency with the rest of the filesystem usage.
1666-1689: insertGroupFromFile: behavior OK, comment is misleadingFunctionally, this test does what you want:
- Saves a group to file,
- Clears the model,
- Inserts the group from file,
- Verifies
model->items.size() == 1(time op only),- Verifies
model->groups.size() == 1and that the group contains one item.However, the inline comment at Line 1679 (“model->items should be empty…”) contradicts the assertion expecting 1 item. Consider updating the comment to match the actual intended behavior (time op persists) to avoid future confusion.
1940-1962: saveSelectionAsFile test is solid; optional filesystem removeThis test verifies that:
- A selected variable can be saved to a temp file,
- The file is readable,
- Clearing and reloading restores the variable.
Behavior looks good. As with other tests, consider using Boost FS
remove(selFile)instead of Cremove(selFile.c_str())for consistency.

26-33: Boost filesystem usage looks appropriateIncluding
<fstream>,<cstdio>,<algorithm>,<thread>,<chrono>, and<boost/filesystem.hpp>plususing namespace boost::filesystem;is consistent with the new tests’ use oftemp_directory_path,unique_path, andexists. No issues here.
1318-1344: Utility tests look sound; double‑checknumOpArgs(OperationType::integrate)These tests cover
multipleEquities,physicalMem,numOpArgs, andclassifyOpreasonably. The only thing to confirm is thatnumOpArgs(OperationType::integrate)is indeed expected to be2– if the semantic is “one input plus integral state”, this is fine; if the API conceptually treats integrate as unary, adjust the expectation.Would you confirm from
numOpArgs’s implementation or docs whether integrate is intended to report 1 or 2 arguments?
1346-1381: Font and operation/type availability tests are appropriate smoke testsThe
availableOperationsAndTypesandfontOperationstests validate that key lists are non-empty and thatdefaultFont/fontScalesetters round-trip correctly, restoring original values to avoid leakage between tests. This is a good level of coverage for these utilities.
1383-1391: latex2pango test is minimal but usefulChecking that
latex2pangoreturns non-empty strings for a couple of representative LaTeX inputs is a reasonable smoke test and keeps the dependency exercised without over-specifying formatting details.
1524-1532: requestReset/requestRedraw smoke test is fineThe test confirms that
requestReset()setsreset_flag()and thatrequestRedraw()at least doesn’t crash. That’s reasonable coverage for these side-effect-driven methods.
1572-1581: Layout smoke test is acceptable
layoutOperationssimply ensures thatautoLayout()andrandomLayout()do not crash when there are items in the model. Given the difficulty of asserting a specific layout, this is a reasonable compromise.
1610-1620: deleteAllUnits test is concise and effectiveThe test assigns units to a variable, calls
deleteAllUnits(), and verifies the units string is empty. That’s exactly what’s needed here; no issues.
1622-1635: setGodleyDisplayValue test is goodThe test exercises both branches of
setGodleyDisplayValue, checkingdisplayValuesanddisplayStylereflect the arguments. That provides clear coverage of the display configuration.
1841-1850: checkEquationOrder test is fine as a smoke test
checkEquationOrderis exercised after constructing equations for a minimal model. While it doesn’t validate detailed ordering, asserting it returns true on this basic configuration is still a useful sanity check.
1852-1870: editedFlag and resetFlag tests are straightforward and correctThe
editedFlagandresetFlagtests manipulate the corresponding bits inflagsand verifyedited()andreset_flag()reflect them as expected. This directly validates the flag helpers.
1987-1996: inputWired test is concise and correctYou confirm that:
- A standalone variable initially has
inputWiredfalse,- After wiring a time operation into it,
inputWiredreturns true.This directly probes the intended behavior.
