We have no test that actually invokes hermes chat. Add a CI smoke test that:

  1. Installs hermes from git
  2. Creates a test profile
  3. Sends a heartbeat-style ping message
  4. Verifies non-empty response and exit code 0

Can use a mock/cheap provider or --max-turns 1 to keep costs minimal.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add a CI smoke test for hermes chat that installs hermes, creates a test profile, sends a heartbeat-style ping message, and verifies a non-empty response and exit code 0.

Guidance

  • Identify a suitable mock or cheap provider to minimize costs during the test.
  • Use the --max-turns 1 option to limit the number of turns and reduce costs.
  • Create a test script that automates the steps: installing hermes from git, creating a test profile, sending a ping message, and verifying the response.
  • Consider using a CI/CD framework's built-in support for running shell commands or scripts to execute the test.

Example

# Install hermes from git
git clone https://github.com/hermes/hermes.git
cd hermes
# Create a test profile
hermes profile create --name test-profile
# Send a heartbeat-style ping message with --max-turns 1
hermes chat --profile test-profile --max-turns 1 --message "ping"
# Verify non-empty response and exit code 0
if [ $? -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$(hermes chat --profile test-profile --max-turns 1 --message 'ping' | grep -v '^$')" ]; then
  echo "Test passed"
else
  echo "Test failed"
  exit 1
fi

Notes

This solution assumes that the hermes command is available and properly configured on the CI environment. The test script may need to be adapted based on the specific CI/CD framework and environment being used.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed CI smoke test to ensure hermes chat functionality.
