rf-theia 0.2.0

Robot Framework testing harness for the theia/artheia stack.

rf-theia

A Robot Framework + TPT testing harness for Theia / Artheia: a reusable, pip-installable library that drives the live supervisor, reads the Tracer.hh feed, regression-tests the artheia generators, and asserts end-to-end signal flow across Functional Clusters.

This repo is the harness only — the reusable library. The .robot scenarios that test a specific Theia live in the consuming project (e.g. theia at testing/scenarios/) and import this library as rf_theia.TheiaTestLibrary.

Install

Into the consuming workspace's venv:

pip install -e /path/to/rf-theia[mcp,dev]
# or, from a deb install:  pip install --find-links /opt/theia/wheels rf-theia

Writing a scenario

The harness exposes one Robot library, rf_theia.TheiaTestLibrary — a single entry point with prefixed keyword families (T Sup for the supervisor, T Sig for signal/trace flow) plus direct TPT idioms:

*** Settings ***
Library           rf_theia.TheiaTestLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
State machine reaches RUNNING
    Load Rig              central
    Start State Machine   sm
    Emit Event            sm    Ready
    Wait For State        sm    RUNNING    within=5s
    Assert Healthy        sm    within=10s
    Verdict               PASS
    [Teardown]            Tear Down Rig

Keywords cover: rig load/teardown, supervisor control (start/stop/restart children, configure trace/log), state-machine drive (Emit Event, Wait For State), and trace/signal assertions over the live Tracer.hh stream.

MCP server (Claude Code)

run_mcp.sh launches an MCP server exposing the harness — run_scenario, list_scenarios, list_keywords, analyze_trace, … It resolves the consuming repo's scenario tree from the environment:

Var	Meaning	Default
RF_THEIA_WORKSPACE	the consuming workspace root (holds the .venv)	the dir holding rf-theia/
RF_THEIA_SCENARIOS	the .robot scenario tree	$RF_THEIA_WORKSPACE/testing/scenarios

Point the workspace's .mcp.json at rf-theia/run_mcp.sh.

Layout

rf_theia/
  TheiaTestLibrary.py   the single Robot library entry point
  adapters/             supervisor gRPC, tracer JSONL decode, the MCP server
  runtime/  testkit/  tpt_engine/  assessment/  space/
pyproject.toml          the rf-theia package (console scripts: rf-theia-mcp)
run_mcp.sh              MCP launcher (resolves the consuming repo's scenarios)
