Shell Test Scripts

Comprehensive test suite for the Skraak MCP Server.

Quick Start

cd shell_scripts

# Run all tests (recommended)
./test_time.sh && ./test_sql.sh && ./test_resources.sh && ./test_prompts.sh && \
./test_write_tools.sh && ./test_import.sh && ./test_bulk_import.sh && ./test_db_state.sh && ./test_sql_limit.sh && ./test_export.sh && ./test_event_log.sh

# Or run individually
./test_time.sh          # Time tool (no DB needed)
./test_sql.sh           # SQL queries
./test_resources.sh     # Schema resources
./test_prompts.sh       # All 6 prompts
./test_write_tools.sh   # Create/update tools (fresh DB)
./test_import.sh        # Import tools validation (fresh DB)
./test_bulk_import.sh   # Bulk import CLI validation
./test_db_state.sh      # Database integrity check

Test Categories

Read-Only Tests (Safe, Repeatable)

These tests read from the database and don't modify it. Run as many times as you want.

| Script | Description | Default DB | |--------|-------------|------------| | test_time.sh | Test get_current_time tool | None | | test_sql.sh | Test execute_sql queries, security | test.duckdb | | test_resources.sh | Test schema resources | test.duckdb | | test_prompts.sh | Test all 6 MCP prompts | test.duckdb | | test_db_state.sh | Verify database integrity | test.duckdb |

Write Tests (Fresh DB Each Run)

These tests modify the database. They automatically create a fresh copy of the production database in /tmp and clean up afterward.

| Script | Description | DB Handling | |--------|-------------|-------------| | test_write_tools.sh | Test create_or_update_* tools | Fresh DB in /tmp | | test_import.sh | Test import tools validation | Fresh DB in /tmp | | test_bulk_import.sh | Test bulk import CLI command | test.duckdb |

Database Safety

  • Read-only tests: Use test.duckdb (default) or specify path
  • Write tests: Automatically create fresh DB from skraak.duckdb/tmp/skraak_test_$$.duckdb
  • Never touches production: Write tests are isolated

Test Library

All scripts source test_lib.sh which provides:

  • send_request - Send MCP request and get response
  • run_test - Run test with pass/fail tracking
  • print_summary - Print test results
  • fresh_test_db - Create fresh test database
  • cleanup_test_db - Clean up test database

Running Individual Tests

# With default test database
./test_sql.sh

# With specific database
./test_sql.sh /path/to/database.duckdb

# Write tests always use fresh DB (no argument needed)
./test_write_tools.sh

Expected Output

Each test prints:

  • Test names with ✓ (pass) or ✗ (fail)
  • Summary with counts
  • Exit code 0 on success, 1 on failure
=== Testing execute_sql Tool ===
✓ Simple SELECT
✓ SELECT with limit
✓ Parameterized query
✓ JOIN query
✓ Aggregate query
✓ CTE query
✓ INSERT blocked (correctly rejected)
✓ SQL injection blocked (correctly rejected)
✓ DELETE blocked (correctly rejected)

=== Summary ===
Tests run: 9
Passed: 9
Failed: 0
