# Local Development Setup for Temporal Python Testing

Comprehensive guide for setting up local Temporal development environment with pytest integration and coverage tracking.

## Temporal Server Setup with Docker Compose

### Basic Docker Compose Configuration

```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
version: "3.8"

services:
  temporal:
    image: temporalio/auto-setup:latest
    container_name: temporal-dev
    ports:
      - "7233:7233" # Temporal server
      - "8233:8233" # Web UI
    environment:
      - DB=postgresql
      - POSTGRES_USER=temporal
      - POSTGRES_PWD=temporal
      - POSTGRES_SEEDS=postgresql
      - DYNAMIC_CONFIG_FILE_PATH=config/dynamicconfig/development-sql.yaml
    depends_on:
      - postgresql

  postgresql:
    image: postgres:14-alpine
    container_name: temporal-postgres
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=temporal
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=temporal
      - POSTGRES_DB=temporal
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  temporal-ui:
    image: temporalio/ui:latest
    container_name: temporal-ui
    depends_on:
      - temporal
    environment:
      - TEMPORAL_ADDRESS=temporal:7233
      - TEMPORAL_CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

volumes:
  postgres_data:
```

### Starting Local Server

```bash
# Start Temporal server
docker-compose up -d

# Verify server is running
docker-compose ps

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f temporal

# Access Temporal Web UI
open http://localhost:8080

# Stop server
docker-compose down

# Reset data (clean slate)
docker-compose down -v
```

### Health Check Script

```python
# scripts/health_check.py
import asyncio
from temporalio.client import Client

async def check_temporal_health():
    """Verify Temporal server is accessible"""
    try:
        client = await Client.connect("localhost:7233")
        print("✓ Connected to Temporal server")

        # Test workflow execution
        from temporalio.worker import Worker

        @workflow.defn
        class HealthCheckWorkflow:
            @workflow.run
            async def run(self) -> str:
                return "healthy"

        async with Worker(
            client,
            task_queue="health-check",
            workflows=[HealthCheckWorkflow],
        ):
            result = await client.execute_workflow(
                HealthCheckWorkflow.run,
                id="health-check",
                task_queue="health-check",
            )
            print(f"✓ Workflow execution successful: {result}")

        return True

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Health check failed: {e}")
        return False

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(check_temporal_health())
```

## Coverage Configuration

### Coverage Settings

```ini
# .coveragerc
[run]
source = src
omit =
    */tests/*
    */venv/*
    */__pycache__/*

[report]
exclude_lines =
    # Exclude type checking blocks
    if TYPE_CHECKING:
    # Exclude debug code
    def __repr__
    # Exclude abstract methods
    @abstractmethod
    # Exclude pass statements
    pass

[html]
directory = htmlcov
```

### Running Tests with Coverage

```bash
# Run all tests with coverage
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing

# Generate HTML coverage report
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html
open htmlcov/index.html

# Run specific test categories
pytest -m unit  # Unit tests only
pytest -m integration  # Integration tests only
pytest -m "not slow"  # Skip slow tests

# Parallel execution (faster)
pytest -n auto  # Use all CPU cores

# Fail if coverage below threshold
pytest --cov=src --cov-fail-under=80
```

### Coverage Report Example

## Development Workflow

### Daily Development Flow

```bash
# 1. Start Temporal server
docker-compose up -d

# 2. Verify server health
python scripts/health_check.py

# 3. Run tests during development
pytest tests/unit/ --verbose

# 4. Run full test suite before commit
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing

# 5. Check coverage
open htmlcov/index.html

# 6. Stop server
docker-compose down
```

### Pre-Commit Hook

```bash
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/bash

echo "Running tests..."
pytest --cov=src --cov-fail-under=80

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Tests failed. Commit aborted."
    exit 1
fi

echo "All tests passed!"
```

### Makefile for Common Tasks

```makefile
# Makefile
.PHONY: setup test test-unit test-integration coverage clean

setup:
	docker-compose up -d
	pip install -r requirements.txt
	python scripts/health_check.py

test:
	pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing

test-unit:
	pytest -m unit --verbose

test-integration:
	pytest -m integration --verbose

test-replay:
	pytest -m replay --verbose

test-parallel:
	pytest -n auto --cov=src

coverage:
	pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html
	open htmlcov/index.html

clean:
	docker-compose down -v
	rm -rf .pytest_cache htmlcov .coverage

ci:
	docker-compose up -d
	sleep 10  # Wait for Temporal to start
	pytest --cov=src --cov-fail-under=80
	docker-compose down
```

### CI/CD Example

```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml
name: Tests

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"

      - name: Start Temporal server
        run: docker-compose up -d

      - name: Wait for Temporal
        run: sleep 10

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install -r requirements.txt

      - name: Run tests with coverage
        run: |
          pytest --cov=src --cov-report=xml --cov-fail-under=80

      - name: Upload coverage
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
        with:
          file: ./coverage.xml

      - name: Cleanup
        if: always()
        run: docker-compose down
```

## Debugging Tips

### Enable Temporal SDK Logging

```python
import logging

# Enable debug logging for Temporal SDK
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
temporal_logger = logging.getLogger("temporalio")
temporal_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

### Interactive Debugging

```python
# Add breakpoint in test
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_workflow_with_breakpoint(workflow_env):
    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()  # Debug here

    async with Worker(...):
        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(...)
```

### Temporal Web UI

```bash
# Access Web UI at http://localhost:8080
# - View workflow executions
# - Inspect event history
# - Replay workflows
# - Monitor workers
```

## Best Practices

1. **Isolated Environment**: Use Docker Compose for reproducible local setup
2. **Health Checks**: Always verify Temporal server before running tests
3. **Fast Feedback**: Use pytest markers to run unit tests quickly
4. **Coverage Targets**: Maintain ≥80% code coverage
5. **Parallel Testing**: Use pytest-xdist for faster test runs
6. **CI/CD Integration**: Automated testing on every commit
7. **Cleanup**: Clear Docker volumes between test runs if needed

## Troubleshooting

**Issue: Temporal server not starting**

```bash
# Check logs
docker-compose logs temporal

# Reset database
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up -d
```

**Issue: Tests timing out**

```python
# Increase timeout in pytest.ini
asyncio_default_timeout = 30
```

**Issue: Port already in use**

```bash
# Find process using port 7233
lsof -i :7233

# Kill process or change port in docker-compose.yml
```
