Testing a BRS

Keep confidence high with a few fast checks.

Smoke tests (example with pytest)

def test_hello_renders(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
    # Point BPM to a test cache with your BRS
    # monkeypatch.setenv("BPM_CACHE", str(tmp_path/".bpm_cache"))
    # ... add store and activate ...
    # Render dry-run to catch Jinja issues
    # Expect at least one planned render/copy step
    pass

Golden files

• Render with fixed params and compare key outputs to fixtures (text reports, small configs).
• Avoid large binaries; verify presence or checksums only.

CI

• Run smoke tests on push/PR; verify template ids and basic rendering still work.
• Optionally run bpm template publish to validate resolvers.

Checklist

• Descriptors have matching id and folder name.
• render.into uses placeholders; no absolute paths by default.
• Params have sensible defaults and clear required flags.
• run.entry exists and renders; hooks/resolvers import cleanly.
