name: fix-test-cli-ci description: 'Debug failures from the test-cli.yml workflow locally. Use when insomnia-inso bundle tests fail in CI, especially node-vs-electron dependency/runtime mismatches.' argument-hint: 'Provide the failing test-cli.yml logs, a link to the failing workflow run, or the failing test name from npm run test:bundle -w insomnia-inso'

Fix test-cli.yml CI Failures

When to Use

• .github/workflows/test-cli.yml or the Test CLI workflow failed in CI.
• inso bundle tests fail locally or in GitHub Actions.
• You suspect node module/runtime differences between Node.js and Electron.

Procedure

1. Start with the failing CI evidence.
   • Use the provided logs or workflow run link to identify whether the failure happened during the test:bundle run, the packaged binary run, or the build/package setup before the tests.
   • Note the failing test name and the first actionable error message before reproducing locally.
2. Ensure Node.js native dependencies are installed (not Electron-targeted variants):

   npm run install-libcurl-node
   

3. Build insomnia-inso to generate dist:

   npm run build -w insomnia-inso
   

4. Start the smoke-test echo server used by the CLI tests:

   npm run serve -w insomnia-smoke-test
   

5. In another terminal, run the bundled CLI test suite:

   npm run test:bundle -w insomnia-inso
   

6. If the CI failure was in the packaged binary path or the bundle suite passes locally, run:

   npm run test:binary -w insomnia-inso
   

Notes

• Keep the smoke-test server running while bundle tests execute.
• Common failure patterns:
  • Errors involving @getinsomnia/node-libcurl, NODE_MODULE_VERSION, dlopen, or native module loading usually mean the Node-targeted libcurl binary needs to be reinstalled with npm run install-libcurl-node.
  • Connection failures to http://localhost:4010 usually mean the smoke-test server is not running.
  • Missing dist output or missing binaries/inso usually means npm run build -w insomnia-inso or the package step needs to be rerun.
• Success criteria:
  • npm run test:bundle -w insomnia-inso exits successfully and Vitest reports the inso dev bundle tests as passing.
  • If validating the packaged binary path, npm run test:binary -w insomnia-inso also exits successfully.

Teardown

• Stop the npm run serve -w insomnia-smoke-test process once validation is complete.
• Reinstall the electron-targeted libcurl binary for continued Electron development:

  npm run install-libcurl-electron
