ws_dev_test.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the ws_dev_test.py API endpoint.
• This module provides a development WebSocket test namespace.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with ws_dev_test.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• ws_dev_test.py owns the runtime implementation.
• ws_dev_test.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• WsDevTest (WsHandler)
  • async process(self, event: str, data: dict, sid: str) -> dict[str, Any] | WsResult | None

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• WsDevTest is a WsHandler.
• WsDevTest defines process(...).
• Observed side-effect areas: filesystem writes, network calls, WebSocket state.
• Imported dependency areas include: asyncio, helpers, helpers.print_style, helpers.ws, helpers.ws_manager, typing.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: event.startswith, self.manager.register_diagnostic_watcher, self.manager.unregister_diagnostic_watcher, PrintStyle.info, PrintStyle.debug, PrintStyle.warning, runtime.is_development, WsResult.error, self.broadcast, asyncio.sleep, self.emit_to, self.dispatch_to_all_sids.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• No direct test reference was found by name search; choose the nearest behavioral test or perform a focused smoke check.
