Create pytest suites under the no-mocks policy — real data, temp files, subprocess, pytest-httpserver. USE WHEN adding tests, raising coverage, testing new src/ module, or user forbids mocks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test creation

## Natural invoke

- "Add tests for projects/templates/template_code_project/src/template_code_project/core/optimizer.py"
- "Raise coverage on infrastructure/validation to pass 60% gate"
- "Test this CLI with subprocess, no mocks"

## Inputs to confirm

- **Code under test** — module/path.
- **Layer** — infrastructure (60%) vs project (90%).

## Workflow

1. **No mocks** — never `unittest.mock`, `MagicMock`, or patch the unit under test. Use real computation, `tmp_path`, local HTTP servers, subprocess for CLIs.

2. **Structure** — `test_*.py` mirroring src modules; parametrize variants; fixed RNG seeds.

3. **Coverage** — run pytest-cov; meet floor for layer.

4. **Integration** — wire into `projects/<n>/tests/` or `tests/infra_tests/` following existing layout.

## Deliverables

- Test file(s) with passing run and coverage report excerpt
- Note any opt-in markers (`requires_latex`, `requires_ollama`)

## Verification commands

```bash
uv run pytest path/to/test_file.py -v
uv run pytest projects/<project>/tests/ --cov=projects/<project>/src --cov-fail-under=90
uv run pytest tests/infra_tests/path/ --cov=infrastructure --cov-fail-under=60
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add docxology/template/template-test-creation@sha256:a5081f153346a043

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
