Write, review and run tests for an Astrid pack. Use when adding or changing a pack's tests, choosing between a unit test, the real Runtime daemon fixture and an editing scenario, fixing a failing test, deleting an obsolete test, or reviewing a pack change for test quality.
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
# Pack Testing The yardstick and rulings (R-1 to R-13) are in the [testing plan](../../../../../docs/development/testing-plan.md); this is the part a pack author needs day to day. Build the pack with [pack-builder](../pack-builder/SKILL.md). ## What a good test is - **Fewer, truer tests.** A test earns its place by catching a failure nothing else catches. If another test, the validator or a conformance suite already fails on that break, do not add a second one. - **Assert behaviour and identity** (R-8): "the output is revision R", "the task ended in state X", "the manifest lists these three files". Not private attributes, source strings or the wording of a message. - **Every test must pass.** Fix the product bug or stale test behind a failure. Do not accept failures, xfails, skips or time-based verdicts, and do not increase suite or per-test timeouts. Diagnose and fix hangs at their cause. - **A fake is trusted only for what it reproduces from recorded real responses** (R-4). Anything else runs against the real thing. - **Old checks go only once their assertions have homes** (R-1). Name where each useful assertion now lives before deleting the old test. …

How to install
mdr add banodoco/astrid-agent/pack-testing@sha256:f3c1fcd9de4135eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.0a00d98, 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.
