c-review - Full code review (includes test step)

CLI Commands (Use These First)

MANDATORY: Always use CLI commands before manual exploration.

Task	Command
Generate Stubs	`mech call sandbox.generate`
Run Sandbox Tests	`mech call sandbox.test -i '{"addon": "MyAddon"}'`
Run Busted Tests	`mech call addon.test -i '{"addon": "MyAddon"}'`
Test Coverage	`mech call addon.test -i '{"addon": "MyAddon", "coverage": true}'`
Sandbox Status	`mech call sandbox.status`

Capabilities

Sandbox Testing — Fast, offline tests using generated WoW API stubs
Desktop Testing (Busted) — Integration tests with custom mocks
In-Game Testing — Runtime verification via MechanicLib registration
Coverage Analysis — Identify untested code paths

Routing Logic

Quick Reference

Recommended Workflow

Sandbox (Core): Fast feedback for business logic.
Desktop (Integration): Test interactions between modules.
In-Game (Verification): Final check against live APIs.

Example Sandbox Test

lua

describe("MyAddon Core", function()
    it("calculates values correctly", function()
        local result = Core.Calculate(10, 20)
        assert.equals(30, result)
    end)
end)

Running Tests

bash

# Generate stubs once
mech call sandbox.generate

# Run tests frequently
mech call sandbox.test -i '{"addon": "MyAddon"}'
