Summary

Fixes #484

This PR resolves Python test failures on Windows by fixing temp file handling.

Problem

On Windows, NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False followed by os.unlink() causes PermissionError because Windows cannot delete files that are still open.

Solution

Replace NamedTemporaryFile with TemporaryDirectory context manager which:

  • Creates a unique temp directory
  • Handles cleanup automatically when context exits
  • Works on both Windows and Unix systems

Changes Made

  • test_load_json_config: Use TemporaryDirectory instead of NamedTemporaryFile
  • test_load_yaml_config: Use TemporaryDirectory instead of NamedTemporaryFile
  • test_reload_config: Use TemporaryDirectory instead of NamedTemporaryFile
  • test_config_with_env_overrides: Use TemporaryDirectory instead of NamedTemporaryFile

Test Results

All 30 tests pass:
```
============================== 30 passed in 0.24s ==============================
```

Test Plan

  • Run pytest tests/test_daemon_config.py -v - all tests pass
  • Pre-commit hooks pass
  • CI workflow passes

Summary by Sourcery

Update configuration tests to use directory-based temporary files for better cross-platform compatibility.

Bug Fixes:

  • Resolve Windows-specific test failures caused by deleting open temporary files.

Tests:

  • Refactor configuration loading and reload tests to create config files within TemporaryDirectory contexts instead of NamedTemporaryFile.

- Replace NamedTemporaryFile with TemporaryDirectory for Windows compatibility
- Windows cannot delete open files, causing PermissionError on os.unlink()
- Use TemporaryDirectory context manager which handles cleanup automatically

Fixes #484

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors daemon configuration tests to use TemporaryDirectory-based config files instead of NamedTemporaryFile, improving Windows compatibility and simplifying cleanup while preserving existing test behavior and assertions.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Use TemporaryDirectory-based config files instead of NamedTemporaryFile for JSON/YAML loading tests to avoid Windows file handle issues.
  • Wrap JSON config creation in TemporaryDirectory and write to a regular file path
  • Remove manual file flushing and os.unlink cleanup for the JSON config test
  • Ensure ConfigLoader uses the new file path and existing assertions remain unchanged
agent/tests/test_daemon_config.py
Update YAML config loading test to use TemporaryDirectory and explicit file path while keeping behavior and assertions identical.
  • Create a temporary directory and write YAML config to a named file in that directory
  • Remove explicit flush and manual deletion logic
  • Load configuration via ConfigLoader using the new path and keep all assertions the same
agent/tests/test_daemon_config.py
Adjust config reload and env override tests to use TemporaryDirectory-backed config files, relying on context manager cleanup instead of manual unlinking.
  • Create JSON config files inside TemporaryDirectory for reload and env override tests
  • Remove try/finally blocks with os.unlink cleanup since TemporaryDirectory handles cleanup
  • Reuse existing ConfigManager and env override logic unchanged to validate behavior
agent/tests/test_daemon_config.py

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#484 Handle Windows incompatibility of Unix domain sockets in vsock_client tests (e.g., skip or provide alternative when socket.AF_UNIX is unavailable) so that TestVsockClient::test_connect_success passes on Windows. The PR only modifies tests in tests/test_daemon_config.py to change temporary file handling. It does not touch vsock_client or TestVsockClient, nor does it add any Windows-specific skip or alternative for socket.AF_UNIX.
#484 Ensure tests that depend on optional LLM clients (openai, anthropic) either have their dependencies declared/installed or are skipped/mocked when the packages are unavailable, so the six TestBuildFallbackClient tests pass in CI. The PR does not modify dependency configuration (e.g., pyproject.toml) or the LLM fallback tests. There are no changes related to openai or anthropic imports, skips, or mocks.
#484 Fix remaining Windows-specific test failures by resolving temp file PermissionError issues in daemon config tests and addressing the timing/race condition in TestAuditLogger::test_retention so all affected tests pass on Windows. The PR updates tests in tests/test_daemon_config.py to use tempfile.TemporaryDirectory instead of NamedTemporaryFile, which likely fixes the PermissionError on Windows for those three tests. However, it does not modify TestAuditLogger::test_retention or any audit logger code, so the timing/race condition failure remains. Since the objective includes both the temp file fixes and the race-condition test, the objective is only partially met and thus not fully addressed.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • Since these tests are all using temporary filesystem locations now, consider switching to pytest’s built-in tmp_path/tmp_path_factory fixtures instead of tempfile.TemporaryDirectory to simplify setup and avoid manual os.path.join usage.
  • The repeated pattern of creating a temp config file (JSON/YAML) and then loading it could be factored into a small helper to reduce duplication and make it easier to adjust temp-file behavior in one place in the future.
