ci: make test-materials actually run the material tests (#741) - #743
Conversation
`zig build test-materials` selected its tests with a `--test-filter` over
`src/root.zig`:
.filters = &.{ "material_schema", "material_pipeline", "component_collisions" }
and ran ZERO material tests. Zig discovers a file's `test` decls only once
the file is analyzed; with `--test-filter` active, every NAMED test in
`root.zig` is dropped and only the anonymous `test { _ = @import(...) }`
discovery blocks survive (`*.test_0` — those are never filtered). None of
those blocks names a material module, so `material_pipeline.zig` was never
analyzed and its tests never existed to be matched. No filter string fixed
it: even `--test-filter "materials build emission"`, the literal name of a
`material_pipeline` test, still ran the same nine assertion-free `test_0`
blocks.
Proof (force-failing `material_pipeline`'s "materials build emission" test
on this tree, before the fix):
zig build test-materials -> exit 0, "127/127 tests passed"
zig build test -> exit 1, "2915/2929 passed (2 failed)"
A named step that excludes the module it is named for is worse than no
step, so the filter is gone. `test-materials` now compiles an explicit root,
`src/material_test_root.zig`, which imports the material modules by name —
a module either is imported or it is not, and that cannot drift the way a
name filter can. `assertMaterialTestRootCoverage` in `build.zig` fails the
build at CONFIGURE time (before any test compiles) if a `src/material_*.zig`
exists that the root does not import, so the exclusion cannot silently
recur.
After:
zig build test-materials -> 448 tests (was 9 empty import blocks)
with the same probe re-applied -> exit 1, "443 pass, 4 skip, 1 fail"
zig build test -> 3352/3368 passed (16 skipped), exit 0
(was 2917/2929 — the delta is the 439
material tests that now actually run)
The step and the full suite share ONE run artifact, so their material test
counts cannot disagree.
Closes #741

If a material import is commented out while its coverage-list entry remains, this raw substring search still finds // _ = @import("material_pipeline.zig");, so the configure-time guard passes even though test-materials no longer analyzes that module. This defeats the drift protection introduced here; restrict the check to active imports in the test block or derive the coverage declaration structurally.

Fixed in 18490e5 — TOKENIZED, not structural.
The structural option was tried first and does not compile on Zig 0.16:
inline for (covered_material_modules) |m| _ = @import(m);
error: @import operand must be a string literal
So the two declarations stay and are cross-checked. The scan moved out of build.zig into src/material_root_scan.zig (so it has unit tests of its own, run by test-materials itself) and uses std.zig.Tokenizer, which emits no tokens for comments. Only @import calls inside a top-level test { … } block count — those are the ones the test binary is guaranteed to analyze.
Your exact scenario, zig build exit codes checked separately:
| tree | _ = @import("material_pipeline.zig"); commented out, list entry kept |
|---|---|
| pre-fix | exit 0 — guard green, module gone from the step |
| post-fix | exit 1 — src/material_pipeline.zig is not imported by src/material_test_root.zig … A COMMENTED-OUT import does not count — the guard tokenizes. |
The guard still fires for a genuinely missing module (throwaway src/material_guardprobe.zig, exit 1), and two new directions are covered: an import that appears only inside a string literal (exit 1) and a covered_material_modules entry naming a module that no longer exists (exit 1).
zig build test --summary all: 3357/3373, exit 0 (+5 scan tests). Force-failing one takes test-materials to 448 pass / 1 fail, exit 1.

… comment (#743 review) The configure-time guard compared `src/material_test_root.zig`'s source against `_ = @import("material_pipeline.zig");` with `std.mem.indexOf`. A substring search matches inside COMMENTS, so commenting the import out while leaving its `covered_material_modules` entry in place kept the guard green while the module dropped out of `zig build test-materials` — the exact drift the guard exists to stop. Demonstrated on the pre-fix build: with that one line commented out, `zig build` exited 0. The structural option the review preferred — one list, no separate import lines, `inline for (covered_material_modules) |m| _ = @import(m);` — does not compile on Zig 0.16 (`error: @import operand must be a string literal`), so the two declarations stay and are cross-checked. The scan is now TOKENIZED: `std.zig.Tokenizer` emits no tokens for comments, and only `@import` calls inside a top-level `test { … }` block count, since those are the ones the test binary is guaranteed to analyze. The scan moved out of build.zig into `src/material_root_scan.zig` so it has unit tests of its own — run by `test-materials` itself, which the guard then requires to cover it. The guard also now checks the other direction: a `covered_material_modules` entry naming a module that no longer exists, or one that is listed but not imported, claims coverage the step does not have. Controls (`zig build`, exit codes checked separately): * import commented out, entry kept: pre-fix exit 0, post-fix exit 1 * throwaway `src/material_guardprobe.zig`: exit 1 (unchanged) * import present only inside a string literal: exit 1 (new) * stale list entry `material_ghost.zig`: exit 1 (new) `zig build test --summary all`: 3357 pass / 3373 total, exit 0 (was 3352/3368 — +5, the new scan tests). Force-failing one of them takes `test-materials` to 448 pass / 1 fail, exit 1.

The defect
zig build test-materialsran zero material tests and stayed green while the module it is named for was broken.The step selected tests with a
--test-filteroversrc/root.zig:Zig discovers a file's
testdecls only once the file is analyzed. With--test-filteractive, every named test inroot.zigis dropped and only the anonymoustest { _ = @import(...) }discovery blocks survive —*.test_0blocks are never filtered. None of those blocks names a material module, sosrc/material_pipeline.zigwas never analyzed and its tests never existed for the filter to match. Running the step's binary directly shows exactly what it covered:Nine assertion-free import blocks. No filter string fixed it — I also tried
--test-filter "materials build emission", the literal name of amaterial_pipelinetest, and got the same ninetest_0blocks. The filter text was never the problem; the discovery was.Proof I broke it and watched the step NOT notice (before the fix)
