Summary

Implements project-chip/certification-tool#1083 for Matter v1.7 TE2.

Registering a side-loaded test script currently requires a full backend container restart
(docker exec to re-run discovery, docker restart, then poll until the service is back up).
This PR adds a POST /api/v1/test_collections/rescan endpoint that re-runs test-collection
discovery/registration in-process, without restarting the backend.

Changes

  • TestScriptManager.rescan() (app/test_engine/test_script_manager.py): re-runs
    initialize_python_tests() (regenerates the Python test JSON via the SDK container, picking
    up side-loaded script changes) and re-discovers all test collections. On failure, the
    previously loaded collections are kept instead of leaving the manager empty, so the backend
    keeps working without a restart. Degrades gracefully in DRY_RUN mode where the
    python_testing module isn't importable.
  • POST /api/v1/test_collections/rescan (app/api/api_v1/endpoints/test_collections.py):
    • Returns 409 Conflict if the Test Engine isn't idle (mirrors the existing
      /abort-testing busy-check pattern).
    • Returns 422 Unprocessable Entity with the failure detail if rescanning throws.
    • Otherwise returns 200 OK with the refreshed TestCollections.

Testing

  • Unit tests for TestScriptManager.rescan(): success, failure-keeps-previous-collections,
    and missing-python_testing-module cases.
  • API tests for the new endpoint: success, busy (409), and failure (422, keeping prior
    collections) cases.
  • black, isort, flake8, mypy all pass on the changed files (no new findings beyond two
    pre-existing, unrelated errors confirmed present on the base branch).
  • Full pytest suite (Docker/DB-dependent) was not run in the authoring environment; please
    run ./scripts/test-local.sh before merge.

Test Plan (from the issue)

  • Add a new side-loaded test script, call the rescan endpoint, confirm the new test case
    appears in GET /api/v1/test_collections/ without a backend restart.
  • Add a malformed side-loaded script, call rescan, confirm a clear error is returned and
    previously loaded test collections remain available.
  • Rescan with no script changes, confirm the full existing set of test collections
    (matter, sample_tests, etc.) is unchanged.

Adds a rescan() method to TestScriptManager that re-generates the Python
test JSON files and re-runs test collection discovery without requiring
a backend restart. This lets side-loaded custom test scripts be added or
edited and picked up in-process.

The new POST /api/v1/test_collections/rescan endpoint returns 409 if the
Test Engine is busy running tests, and preserves the previously loaded
test collections if rescanning fails so the backend keeps working.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds in-process test collection rescanning. TestScriptManager.rescan() refreshes Python and non-Python collections and restores previous collections after failures. The POST /rescan endpoint rejects busy test engines, returns HTTP 422 for rescan failures, and returns refreshed collections on success. API and manager tests cover success, busy-engine handling, failure recovery, and missing Python-testing support.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 88ef4

The new rescan endpoint may incorrectly return success and discard previously loaded test collections when a dependency import fails during discovery. This is a bounded error-handling risk that should receive explicit owner follow-up before or immediately after merge.

… module

rescan()'s except ImportError previously wrapped both the
'from python_testing import initialize_python_tests' statement and the
await initialize_python_tests() call. An ImportError raised from inside
a side-loaded script during initialization (e.g. a bad import in a
custom test file) was therefore treated as the 'python_testing package
not available' (DRY_RUN) case: it logged a warning, discovered whatever
partial collections resulted, and returned 200 instead of rolling back
to the previous collections and returning 422.

Isolates the ImportError handling to only the import statement itself,
so failures raised while running initialize_python_tests() fall through
to the existing rollback/error path regardless of exception type.

Adds a regression test for initialize_python_tests() raising ImportError
and reworks the missing-module test to use monkeypatch.delattr, which
matches how the attribute is actually absent in DRY_RUN mode.

Do not classify dependency import failures as DRY_RUN success.

During TestScriptManager.rescan(), the from ...python_testing import initialize_python_tests statement also executes python_testing/__init__.py and its test_manager imports. An ImportError from those dependencies enters the handler at lines 141–143, replaces test_collections, and lets /test_collections/rescan return 200 OK instead of 422. Import the module first, then handle only a missing target module or missing initialize_python_tests attribute as DRY_RUN behavior. Re-raise dependency import failures and add a regression test.
