fix(test): point backend failures at test failure get in JSON mode and closure reruns - #576
After a backend run fails or is blocked, the CLI prints a recovery command on stderr. Which command it printed depended on the output mode and polling path:
Case
Before
After
Backend test wait, text
test failure get <test-id>
unchanged
Same run, --output json
test artifact get <run-id> ❌
test failure get <test-id>
test run --wait / single test rerun --wait, JSON
test artifact get <run-id> ❌
test failure get <test-id>
Backend closure rerun, text or JSON
test artifact get <run-id> ❌
test failure get <test-id>
Any frontend failure
test artifact get <run-id>
unchanged
A backend run has no run-scoped bundle, so JSON users (CI jobs and agents) were sent to a command that can't help them. The cause was that resolveRunCardIsBackend returned false for JSON output without checking. Its result drives the run card and also chooses the stderr hint. The closure rerun hint was hard-coded.
Following the scope in the triage comment on #432:
JSON mode resolves the type only for a failed or blocked run, with at most one GET /tests/{id}. A passed run makes no request. If the lookup fails, it keeps the existing artifact-hint fallback. Text mode is unchanged.
Already-known types are reused:
test run already takes the create-chain --type.
Single test rerun now passes the type its pre-flight just read on to the core, and treats a closure in the rerun response as backend. Either way it needs no extra request (in text mode it now makes one fewer GET than before).
The closure rerun is known backend: no request. The hint names the selected test's id.
The doc comment that said JSON never probes is updated.
JSON stdout and exit codes don't change, and frontend hints don't change.
npm test passes and coverage stays at or above the 80% gate.
New behavior is covered by unit tests (mock-based; no network or
credentials required).
No secrets, API keys, internal endpoints, or personal data are included.
User-facing changes are reflected in README.md / DOCUMENTATION.md where
relevant. (No doc change needed: the hint text is the one text mode already printed.)
Notes for reviewers
Tests. I ran the new tests against the old test.ts and against the fix:
11 fail on main and pass with the fix.
5 pass on both. These are the "unchanged" guards: frontend hint, passed run, and lookup-failure fallback.
test.wait.spec.ts: wait for a run that's already finished on the first poll (the case the existing tests missed, since those use the result fallback):
JSON failed and blocked backend runs get the failure get hint with exactly one type lookup.
The text and JSON hints are identical.
JSON stdout is still the run row verbatim.
A passed run makes 0 lookups.
A failed frontend run keeps the artifact hint.
A failed lookup falls back to the artifact hint and keeps exit 1.
test.run.spec.ts:
JSON failed and blocked backend runs get the failure get hint.
A failed frontend run keeps the artifact hint.
The hint costs exactly one extra GET compared with a passed run. test run already reads the test once before triggering.
test.rerun.closure-fanout.spec.ts. I put these here rather than in test.rerun.spec.ts, whose header says it's at the Windows reporter-RPC limit:
A multi-member backend closure gets the failure get hint in both text and JSON, with no lookup beyond the pre-flight.
A single-member closure (JSON) gets the hint with no extra lookup.
Without a closure, JSON reuses the pre-flight type.
A frontend rerun keeps the artifact hint.
Results: 4814 passed / 2 skipped (unit), 110 passed / 1 skipped (e2e). Typecheck, lint (0 errors) and format all pass.
Rebase: I saw the note that hint wording changes in 1.0. Happy to rebase onto it when it lands.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved recovery guidance for failed or blocked backend test runs, waits, and reruns by directing users to retrieve detailed failure information.
Retained run-specific artifact guidance for frontend runs and when the test type cannot be determined.
Cancelled runs no longer show failure-bundle guidance, and successful runs avoid unnecessary hints. JSON run output remains unchanged.
Tests
Added coverage for recovery guidance across run, wait, and rerun scenarios, including terminal-on-first-poll runs and single-test, multi-test, and no-closure reruns.
Review follow-up:58cc6eb bounds the JSON-mode type lookup with a 5 s deadline and retryOnRateLimit: false (CodeRabbit finding), so a 429 or stalled read can never hold back the run envelope or the exit code. Two regression tests cover it: a rate-limited lookup is tried exactly once, and a lookup that never answers is abandoned at the deadline.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Run, wait, and rerun paths select recovery hints based on test type and run status. Failed or blocked backend tests use test-scoped failure retrieval hints. Frontend failures retain run-scoped artifact hints. Tests cover text and JSON output, type lookup limits, and closure reruns.

Summary
Run and wait failure detection src/commands/test.ts, src/commands/test.run.spec.ts, src/commands/test.wait.spec.ts
Run and wait paths reuse detected test types or perform a bounded lookup for failed or blocked runs. The lookup has a five-second deadline and disables retries. Tests cover backend and frontend hints, lookup failures, passed runs, and lookup deadlines.
Rerun type reuse and recovery hints src/commands/test.ts, src/commands/test.rerun.closure-fanout.spec.ts
Single-test reruns reuse cached test metadata. Backend failures suggest test failure get <test-id>; frontend failures retain the run-scoped artifact hint. Tests cover closure sizes, text and JSON output, and cancelled runs.
Backend failures receive test-scoped recovery hints while frontend hints remain unchanged. No material merge-blocking risk was identified.

Explanation
The title names the main change: backend failure recovery hints now point at test failure get in JSON mode and closure reruns. The changeset adds backend hint logic in test.ts, tests in test.wait.spec.ts, test.run.spec.ts, and test.rerun.closure-fanout.spec.ts, and a five-second type lookup deadline. The title follows the conventional commit form and stays specific. It omits the cancelled-run handling and the type-lookup deadline, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #432 is the only active directly linked issue. Its coding requirements are: (1) failed or blocked backend runs suggest test failure get <test-id> in text and JSON, including terminal-on-first-poll runs and closure reruns; (2) frontend failures keep test artifact get <run-id>; (3) JSON stdout shape and failure exit codes stay unchanged; (4) regression coverage for these cases.
Source evidence from the whole-PR diff of src/commands/test.ts (merge base to head):
Requirement 1, JSON waits and runs: resolveRunCardIsBackend now takes status. For JSON output it returns false without a request unless the status is failed or blocked. For those statuses it probes the test once. runTestWait, runTestRun, and runTestRerunCore pass finalRun.status and any polled type, so their stderr hints select test failure get for backend runs.
Requirement 1, closure reruns: the closure branch in runTestRerun prints test failure get ${testId} for failed or blocked outcomes in both output modes. A closure is backend, so no lookup runs. Cancelled closure reruns print no failure hint and still exit 1, which matches the issue's focus on failed or blocked backend tests.
Requirement 2: the frontend artifact hint text is not changed in the diff. Frontend runs keep the test artifact get path.
Requirement 3: the diff changes stderr hint text and lookup gating only. The JSON envelope and the CLIError(..., 1) exit paths are retained.
The lookup has a 5 s deadline and retry: false. A lookup failure returns false, which keeps the artifact hint fallback. Interrupts still propagate.
Requirement 4: the test files (test.wait.spec.ts, test.run.spec.ts, test.rerun.closure-fanout.spec.ts) contain the described cases according to the raw summary. I did not read them in this pass. The coverage claim rests on the summary and the PR description. This is unverified, not shown to be unmet.
No required coding requirement is shown as unmet at the reviewed head.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All source changes in src/commands/test.ts serve the recovery-hint objective of #432 or its stated constraints:
resolveRunCardIsBackend: adds the status and knownType inputs and the JSON-only-for-failed-or-blocked gate that choose the backend hint. The 5 s deadline and retry: false keep the lookup from delaying the run envelope or exit code. This is the review follow-up named in the PR description.
ResultReadClient.get option type: adds retry?: boolean, which the lookup requires.
makeBackendWaitFallbackonTypeDetected callback: passes the type found during polling to the hint path, avoiding a second lookup.
RUN_CARD_TYPE_LOOKUP_TIMEOUT_MS and isFailureHintStatus: support the deadline and the failed-or-blocked gate.
runTestRerunreadTests and core hand-off for a single test: reuses the pre-flight type and removes an extra GET for the hint. It applies only to a single-test rerun.
Closure hint text in runTestRerun and runTestRerunCore: the change the issue requests.
Doc comment updates: they describe the changed behavior.
The raw summary lists only test files and these source changes. No unrelated product behavior, dependency, or file appears. The listed test files cover the same objective.

…d closure reruns
The stderr recovery hint after a failed or blocked backend run depended on
the output mode and polling path. resolveRunCardIsBackend returned false for
JSON output without probing, so `test wait` / `test run --wait` / single
`test rerun --wait` in JSON mode suggested `test artifact get <run-id>`,
which has no bundle for a backend run, while text mode for the same run
correctly said `test failure get <test-id>`. The closure rerun hint was
hard-coded to `artifact get` even though only backend reruns have a closure.
- JSON mode now resolves the type only for a failed/blocked run (at most one
GET), keeps the artifact-hint fallback when the lookup fails, and makes no
request for a passed run.
- Single rerun reuses the type the rerun pre-flight already read and treats a
closure in the rerun response as backend, so it needs no extra request.
- The closure rerun hint names `test failure get <named test id>`.
JSON stdout and exit codes are unchanged; frontend hints are unchanged.
ClosesTestSprite#432
…output
The best-effort GET /tests/{id} that picks the recovery-hint wording ran
with the client's default retry policy, so a 429 carrying Retry-After could
park the JSON envelope and exit code behind it for minutes. Give it a 5 s
deadline and retryOnRateLimit: false (same pattern as the duplicate-name
advisory); either outcome falls back to the existing artifact hint.
…kip cancelled closure hints
Review follow-up on the backend recovery hint:
- makeBackendWaitFallback now reports the type its one-time probe found
(onTypeDetected). run / wait / single rerun pass it to
resolveRunCardIsBackend as the known type, so a backend test seen while
polling keeps the `test failure get` hint even if no further lookup
succeeds, and no second lookup is made.
- The hint's type lookup uses `retry: false` instead of
`retryOnRateLimit: false`, so 5xx and transport failures are not retried
either (their retry sleeps do not observe the lookup deadline).
- The closure-rerun hint prints only for failed/blocked. A cancelled named
test still exits 1, but `test failure get` returns the latest failing run,
which for a cancelled rerun could be an older one.
