# Testing Reflex

This document shows how to test the currently implemented features of Reflex.

## Current Implementation Status

✅ **Completed:**
- Binary cache format design (`.context/BINARY_FORMAT_RESEARCH.md`)
- Tree-sitter integration (9 languages: Rust, Python, JS, TS, Go, PHP, C, C++, Java)
- Rust symbol parser (functions, structs, enums, traits, methods, constants, modules, types)
- Cache system (SQLite + binary files)
- Hash persistence for incremental indexing
- Cache statistics
- **Directory walking and file scanning** (using `ignore` crate)
- **Complete indexing workflow** (parser → rkyv serialization → cache writer)
- **SymbolWriter with rkyv** (zero-copy serialization)
- **SQLite metadata tracking** (files table + statistics)
- **Incremental indexing** (skip unchanged files via blake3 hashes)

🚧 **Not Yet Implemented:**
- Query engine (search/filter functionality)
- Symbol reader (deserialize from symbols.bin)
- HTTP server
- Other language parsers (Python, TS, Go, etc.)

## How to Test

### 1. Run All Unit Tests

```bash
cd /home/brad/Code/personal/reflex
cargo test --lib
```

**Expected output:**
```
running 12 tests
test cache::tests::test_cache_init ... ok
test cache::symbol_writer::tests::test_symbol_writer ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_function ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_struct ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_enum ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_trait ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_impl ... ok
test parsers::rust::tests::test_parse_multiple_symbols ... ok
test indexer::tests::test_indexer_creation ... ok
test parsers::tests::test_parser_factory ... ok
test query::tests::test_parse_query ... ok

test result: ok. 12 passed; 0 failed
```

### 2. Test the Cache System

Run the cache test example:

```bash
cargo run --example test_cache
```

**What it tests:**
- ✅ Cache initialization (creates `.reflex/` with 5 files)
- ✅ SQLite database creation with schema
- ✅ Binary file headers (symbols.bin, tokens.bin)
- ✅ Hash persistence (save/load hashes.json)
- ✅ Cache statistics retrieval
- ✅ Cache clearing

**Expected output:**
```

- ✅ Capturing spans (line:column positions)
- ✅ Tracking scopes (impl blocks)

**Expected output:**
```

   Enum            Status                   20:0
   Trait           Drawable                 25:0
   Method          new                      11:4
      └─ Scope: impl User
   Method          greet                    15:4
      └─ Scope: impl User
   Constant        MAX_USERS                29:0

✅ Parser test complete!
```

### 4. Test the Indexer

Run the indexer test example:

```bash
cargo run --example test_indexer
```

**What it tests:**
- ✅ Directory discovery and file walking
- ✅ Incremental indexing with hash comparison
- ✅ Symbol parsing and extraction
- ✅ Writing to symbols.bin with rkyv
- ✅ SQLite statistics updates

**Expected output:**
```
🧪 Testing Reflex Indexer

📁 Test directory: "/tmp/..."

1️⃣  Created test files

2️⃣  Running indexer...
   ✅ Indexing complete

📊 Index Statistics:
   - Files indexed: 2
   - Symbols extracted: 8
   - Cache size: 42842 bytes (41.84 KB)
   - Last updated: 2025-11-01T...

3️⃣  Verifying cache files...
   ✅ All cache files present

4️⃣  Testing incremental indexing...
   ✅ Incremental indexing complete (should skip unchanged files)
   - Files indexed: 2

✅ All indexer tests passed!
🎉 Reflex indexer is working correctly
```

### 5. Test the CLI

The CLI is now functional for indexing:

```bash
# Show help
cargo run -- --help

# Index the current directory
cargo run -- index .

# Show statistics
cargo run -- stats

# Re-index (should skip unchanged files)
cargo run -- index .
```

**Example output:**
```
$ cargo run -- index .
Indexing complete!
  Files indexed: 14
  Symbols found: 157
  Cache size: 75568 bytes
  Last updated: 2025-11-01T...

$ cargo run -- stats
Reflex Index Statistics
=======================
Files indexed:  14
Symbols found:  157
Index size:     75568 bytes
Last updated:   2025-11-01T...
```

## Manual Testing with Rust Code

You can test the parser on any Rust file:

```rust
use reflex::parsers::rust;

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let source = std::fs::read_to_string("path/to/file.rs")?;
    let symbols = rust::parse("file.rs", &source)?;

    for symbol in symbols {
        println!("{:?}: {} at {}:{}",
                 symbol.kind,
                 symbol.symbol,
                 symbol.span.start_line,
                 symbol.span.start_col);
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

## Verifying Cache Files

After running the cache test, you can inspect the generated files:

```bash
# The test uses a temp directory, but you can inspect a real cache
cd /tmp
mkdir reflex_test && cd reflex_test

# Run Reflex (this will create .reflex/)
/home/brad/Code/personal/reflex/target/release/reflex stats

# Inspect cache files
ls -lh .reflex/
file .reflex/*
hexdump -C .reflex/symbols.bin | head
cat .reflex/hashes.json
cat .reflex/config.toml
sqlite3 .reflex/meta.db "SELECT * FROM statistics;"
```

## Performance Testing

Run the parser on large Rust files to test performance:

```bash
# Parse a large file
time cargo run --example test_parser -- /path/to/large/file.rs

# Run benchmarks (when implemented)
cargo bench
```

## Debugging

Enable detailed logging:

```bash
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example test_cache
RUST_LOG=trace cargo test --lib -- --nocapture
```

## Next Steps

The indexing workflow is now complete! Next priorities:

1. **Query engine** - Search and filter symbols from cache
2. **Symbol reader** - Deserialize symbols from symbols.bin using rkyv
3. **Additional language parsers** - Python, TypeScript, Go, etc.
4. **HTTP server** - REST API for queries
5. **Performance optimizations** - Memory-mapped I/O, parallel parsing
