Keys use `lexode` encoding; values are `zstandard`-compressed unified diffs indexed by ULID. + +### Pytest-Only + +`mutation` is fundamentally pytest-specific. Although the CLI accepts a custom `-- TEST-COMMAND`, it always appends `--mutation=` to whatever command is used. That flag is a pytest option registered by `mutation.py` itself acting as a pytest plugin (`pytest_configure` / `pytest_addoption` hooks). The plugin calls `install_module_loader` to patch the target module in-memory for that test run, without modifying files on disk. Any custom `TEST-COMMAND` must therefore still be a pytest invocation — swapping in a different test runner is not supported. + +### Async Execution + +`pool_for_each_par_map` drives the parallel mutation workflow using `asyncio` + `concurrent.futures` (process pool for mutation creation, thread pool for test execution) with `aiostream` for streaming results. + +## Key Files + +| File | Purpose | +|------|---------| +| `mutation.py` | Entire application: CLI, mutation engine, pytest plugin | +| `tests.py` | Example test suite (tests `foobar/ex.py`) used for self-testing | +| `foobar/ex.py` | Example module (`decrement_by_two`) mutated during self-tests | +| `requirements.source.txt` | Hand-maintained dependency list (input to pip-compile) | +| `requirements.txt` | pip-compiled locked dependencies (auto-generated, do not edit) | +| `requirements.dev.txt` | Dev-only tools: black, isort, bandit, tbvaccine | + +## Known Issues / TODOs + +- Mutations that produce syntax errors are not filtered out (requires Python 3.9+ `ast.unparse`) +- Removing docstrings can trigger errors in `mutation play` +- PyPy is not supported +- `rc.sh` contains an unresolved git merge conflict From c69d44839592eb3ea9906767029528eedd5f065e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amirouche Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:03:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 02/53] Filter syntax-error mutations and replace deprecated imp module - iter_deltas: validate each candidate mutation with ast.parse before yielding it; invalid mutations (e.g. DefinitionDrop leaving an empty class body) are now silently skipped and logged at TRACE level - Rename the local `ast` variable to `tree` to avoid shadowing the newly-imported ast module - install_module_loader: replace deprecated imp.new_module() (removed in Python 3.12) with types.ModuleType() - Add regression tests: test_no_syntax_error_mutations_empty_class_body and test_no_syntax_error_mutations_docstring - Mark the two resolved TODOs in README.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- README.md | 11 +++++------ mutation.py | 20 +++++++++++++------ tests.py | 56 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 073d7f6..e5b0be0 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -47,12 +47,11 @@ option `--randomly-seed=n` that works. ## TODO -- [ ] Avoid mutations that are syntax errors to improve efficiency, - use python 3.9+ `ast.unparse`, possibly with `black`; -- [ ] `mutation play` can error even if the code and the test suite is - valid e.g. removing a docstring will trigger an error: reduce, - and hopefully eliminate that problem, requires python 3.9+ (see - above); +- [x] Avoid mutations that are syntax errors to improve efficiency + (`ast.parse` validation added in `iter_deltas`); +- [x] `mutation play` can error even if the code and the test suite is + valid e.g. removing the only definition from a class body produces + an empty-body `SyntaxError` — fixed by the same `ast.parse` check; - [ ] Add PyPy support; ## Links diff --git a/mutation.py b/mutation.py index 1718af7..a79ea62 100755 --- a/mutation.py +++ b/mutation.py @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ -h --help Show this screen. --version Show version.

Equivalent mutation — semantically invisible + +The mutation produces code that is **behaviourally identical** to the original +under all reachable inputs.

Commit the ignore file so CI never +flags it again. + +The ignore file is named by a SHA-256 hash of the diff text, so it remains +valid across refactors that don't touch the mutated lines. + +--- + +### 4. Won't fix — consciously accepted gap + +The gap is real, but fixing it is not worth the effort right now (or ever). +Maybe the code path is deprecated, the risk is negligible, or the test would be +too expensive to maintain. + +**Action:** Mark it as "won't fix".
