Schema-Per-Test Refactor Plan

Status: COMPLETE
Created: 2026-01-28
Completed: 2026-01-28
Actual Effort: ~12 hours
Difficulty: Medium-High

Executive Summary

This plan outlines a complete refactor to remove all hardcoded attune. schema prefixes from migrations and repositories, enabling schema-per-test isolation. This will allow tests to run in parallel, eliminate data contamination between tests, and significantly improve test execution speed.

Key Benefits:

  • True test isolation (no shared state)
  • Parallel test execution (40-60% faster)
  • Simpler cleanup logic (drop schema vs. careful deletion order)
  • Better developer experience

Key Risks:

  • SQLx compile-time checks may need adjustment
  • Production safety requires careful validation
  • Comprehensive code changes across ~30 files

Background

Current State

  • Database Schema: All tables live in the attune schema
  • Migrations: 13 migration files with hardcoded attune. prefixes (~300-400 occurrences)
  • Repositories: 18 repository files with hardcoded attune. in queries (~400-500 occurrences)
  • Tests: Run serially with #[serial] attribute, clean database between tests
  • Problem: Complex cleanup logic with careful deletion order; no parallel execution

Target State

  • Schema-Agnostic Code: No hardcoded schema prefixes in migrations or repositories
  • PostgreSQL search_path: Use search_path mechanism for schema resolution
  • Test Isolation: Each test gets unique schema (e.g., test_a1b2c3d4)
  • Parallel Tests: Remove #[serial] attributes, run tests concurrently
  • Production: Explicitly uses attune schema via configuration

Detailed Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Update Database Migrations (13 files)

Objective: Remove all attune. schema prefixes from migration files, making them schema-agnostic.

Search & Replace Patterns

Systematically replace these patterns across all migration files:

# Type Definitions
CREATE TYPE attune.xxx_enum               CREATE TYPE xxx_enum
COMMENT ON TYPE attune.xxx_enum           COMMENT ON TYPE xxx_enum

# Functions
CREATE FUNCTION attune.xxx()              CREATE FUNCTION xxx()
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION attune.xxx     CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xxx
EXECUTE FUNCTION attune.xxx()             EXECUTE FUNCTION xxx()
COMMENT ON FUNCTION attune.xxx            COMMENT ON FUNCTION xxx

# Tables
CREATE TABLE attune.xxx                   CREATE TABLE xxx
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS attune.xxx     CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS xxx
REFERENCES attune.xxx                     REFERENCES xxx
COMMENT ON TABLE attune.xxx               COMMENT ON TABLE xxx
COMMENT ON COLUMN attune.xxx.yyy          COMMENT ON COLUMN xxx.yyy

# Indexes
CREATE INDEX xxx ON attune.yyy            CREATE INDEX xxx ON yyy
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX xxx ON attune.yyy     CREATE UNIQUE INDEX xxx ON yyy

# Triggers
BEFORE UPDATE ON attune.xxx               BEFORE UPDATE ON xxx
AFTER INSERT ON attune.xxx                AFTER INSERT ON xxx
BEFORE INSERT ON attune.xxx               BEFORE INSERT ON xxx
CREATE TRIGGER xxx ... ON attune.yyy      CREATE TRIGGER xxx ... ON yyy

# DML (in trigger functions or data migrations)
INSERT INTO attune.xxx                    INSERT INTO xxx
UPDATE attune.xxx                         UPDATE xxx
DELETE FROM attune.xxx                    DELETE FROM xxx
FROM attune.xxx                           FROM xxx
JOIN attune.xxx                           JOIN xxx

# Sequences
GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE attune.xxx_id_seq   GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE xxx_id_seq

# Permissions
GRANT ... ON attune.xxx TO                GRANT ... ON xxx TO
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON attune.xxx TO     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON xxx TO

Implementation Steps

  1. Backup: Create backup of migrations directory
  2. Automated Replace: Use sed/perl for bulk replacements:
    cd attune/migrations
    # Backup
    cp -r . ../migrations.backup
    
    # Replace patterns (example for GNU sed)
    find . -name "*.sql" -exec sed -i 's/CREATE TYPE attune\./CREATE TYPE /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.sql" -exec sed -i 's/CREATE TABLE attune\./CREATE TABLE /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.sql" -exec sed -i 's/REFERENCES attune\./REFERENCES /g' {} +
    # ... repeat for all patterns
    
  3. Manual Review: Review each file for correctness
  4. Validation: Test migrations with schema isolation

Validation

# Create test database with custom schema
psql -U attune -d attune_test <<EOF
CREATE SCHEMA test_migration;
SET search_path TO test_migration, public;
EOF

# Run migrations
cd attune
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://attune:attune@localhost/attune_test"
sqlx migrate run

# Verify tables in correct schema
psql -U attune -d attune_test -c "SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname='test_migration';"

# Cleanup
psql -U attune -d attune_test -c "DROP SCHEMA test_migration CASCADE;"

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Estimated Changes: ~300-400 replacements


Phase 2: Update Repository Layer (18 files)

Objective: Remove all attune. schema prefixes from SQL queries in repository files.

Files to Modify

attune/crates/common/src/repositories/action.rs
attune/crates/common/src/repositories/artifact.rs
attune/crates/common/src/repositories/enforcement.rs
attune/crates/common/src/repositories/event.rs

attune/crates/common/src/repositories/webhook.rs
attune/crates/common/src/repositories/worker.rs
attune/crates/common/src/repositories/workflow.rs

Search & Replace Patterns

Replace in string literals and raw strings:

// Query strings
"FROM attune.xxx"                         "FROM xxx"
"INSERT INTO attune.xxx"                  "INSERT INTO xxx"
"UPDATE attune.xxx"                       "UPDATE xxx"
"DELETE FROM attune.xxx"                  "DELETE FROM xxx"
"JOIN attune.xxx"                         "JOIN xxx"
"LEFT JOIN attune.xxx"                    "LEFT JOIN xxx"
"INNER JOIN attune.xxx"                   "INNER JOIN xxx"

// Raw strings
r#"FROM attune.xxx"#                      r#"FROM xxx"#
r#"INSERT INTO attune.xxx"#               r#"INSERT INTO xxx"#

// QueryBuilder
QueryBuilder::new("UPDATE attune.xxx SET ")   QueryBuilder::new("UPDATE xxx SET ")
QueryBuilder::new("INSERT INTO attune.xxx")   QueryBuilder::new("INSERT INTO xxx")

Implementation Steps

  1. Automated Replace: Use VS Code or sed for bulk replacements

    cd attune/crates/common/src/repositories
    
    # Backup
    cp -r . ../../../../repositories.backup
    
    # Replace patterns
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/"FROM attune\./"FROM /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/"INSERT INTO attune\./"INSERT INTO /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/"UPDATE attune\./"UPDATE /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/"DELETE FROM attune\./"DELETE FROM /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/"JOIN attune\./"JOIN /g' {} +
    find . -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i 's/r#"FROM attune\./r#"FROM /g' {} +
    # ... repeat for all patterns
    
  2. Verify with grep: Ensure no remaining attune. references

    grep -r "attune\." crates/common/src/repositories/
    
  3. Check compilation: After each repository file

    cargo check -p attune-common
    
  4. Search other locations: Check for raw SQL in other modules

    grep -r "FROM attune\." crates/api/src/
    grep -r "INSERT INTO attune\." crates/api/src/
    grep -r "UPDATE attune\." crates/api/src/
    

Validation

# Compile common crate
cargo check -p attune-common

# Run unit tests
cargo test -p attune-common --lib

# Check for any remaining schema references
rg "attune\." crates/common/src/repositories/

Estimated Time: 3-4 hours
Estimated Changes: ~400-500 replacements


Phase 3: Update Database Connection Layer

Objective: Add schema configuration support and automatic search_path setting.

File: attune/crates/common/src/config.rs

Changes:

pub struct DatabaseConfig {
    pub url: String,
    #[serde(default = "default_max_connections")]
    pub max_connections: u32,

    pub schema: Option<String>,
}

fn default_max_connections() -> u32 {

                        .execute(&mut *conn)
                        .await?;

            .await?;
        
        Ok(Self { pool, schema })
    }
    
    /// Validate schema name to prevent SQL injection
    fn validate_schema_name(schema: &str) -> Result<()> {
        if schema.is_empty() {
            return Err(anyhow::anyhow!("Schema name cannot be empty"));
        }
        
        // Only allow alphanumeric and underscores
        if !schema.chars().all(|c| c.is_alphanumeric() || c == '_') {

Phase 4: Update Test Infrastructure

Objective: Implement schema-per-test isolation with automatic schema creation and cleanup.

            });
        });
    }
}

// REMOVE: Old clean_database function is no longer needed

Key Changes

  1. Schema Generation: Each test gets unique schema (UUID-based)
  2. Schema Creation: Explicit CREATE SCHEMA before migrations
  3. Migration Execution: Runs on the test-specific schema
  4. search_path Setting: Automatic via after_connect hook
  5. Cleanup: Drop entire schema (simpler than deleting tables)
  6. Isolation: No shared state between tests

Validation

# Test single test with new infrastructure
cargo test -p attune-api --test pack_registry_tests test_install_pack_from_local_directory -- --nocapture

# Verify schema created and cleaned up
psql -U attune -d attune_test -c "SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname LIKE 'test_%';"

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours


Phase 5: Update Test Files (Remove Serial)

Objective: Remove #[serial] attributes from all tests to enable parallel execution.

Files to Modify

attune/crates/api/tests/pack_registry_tests.rs
attune/crates/api/tests/pack_workflow_tests.rs
attune/crates/api/tests/workflow_tests.rs
attune/crates/api/tests/health_and_auth_tests.rs (if using serial)
attune/crates/api/tests/webhook_security_tests.rs (if using serial)

Changes

Before:

#[tokio::test]
#[serial]
async fn test_install_pack_force_reinstall() -> Result<()> {
    let ctx = TestContext::new().await?.with_auth().await?;
    // ...
}

After:

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_install_pack_force_reinstall() -> Result<()> {
    let ctx = TestContext::new().await?.with_auth().await?;
    // ...
}

Implementation Steps

  1. Find all serial tests:

    grep -r "#\[serial\]" crates/api/tests/
    
  2. Remove serial attributes:

    find crates/api/tests -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i '/#\[serial\]/d' {} +
    
  3. Remove serial_test dependency: Update crates/api/Cargo.toml:

    [dev-dependencies]
    # Remove or comment out:
    # serial_test = "2.0"
    
  4. Remove use statements:

    find crates/api/tests -name "*.rs" -exec sed -i '/use serial_test::serial;/d' {} +
    

Validation

# Run tests in parallel with 4 threads
cargo test -p attune-api -- --test-threads=4

# Run with more threads to stress test
cargo test -p attune-api -- --test-threads=8

# Measure execution time
time cargo test -p attune-api

Phase 6: Handle SQLx Compile-Time Checks

Objective: Ensure SQLx's compile-time query checking works with schema-agnostic queries.

Challenge

SQLx macros (query!, query_as!) perform compile-time verification by connecting to the database specified in DATABASE_URL. They need to find tables without schema qualification.

Solution Options

  1. Generate sqlx-data.json with schema in search_path:

    # Set up database with attune schema
    export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://attune:attune@localhost/attune_dev"
    
    # Ensure attune schema exists and is in search_path
    psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SET search_path TO attune, public;"
    
    # Prepare offline data
    cargo sqlx prepare --workspace
    
    # Enable offline mode
    echo 'SQLX_OFFLINE=true' >> .env
    
  2. Use in CI/CD:

    # .github/workflows/test.yml
    - name: Check SQLx queries (offline)
      run: |
        export SQLX_OFFLINE=true
        cargo check --workspace
    

Option B: Include search_path in DATABASE_URL

# URL-encode the search_path option
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://attune:attune@localhost/attune_dev?options=-c%20search_path%3Dattune%2Cpublic"

cargo check

Option C: Temporary Macro Disable

If issues persist during migration:

# In Cargo.toml (temporary)
[dependencies]
sqlx = { 
    version = "0.7", 
    features = ["postgres", "runtime-tokio-native-tls", "json", "chrono", "uuid"],
    # Temporarily remove "macros" feature
}

Implementation Steps

  1. Choose Option A (most robust)
  2. Regenerate sqlx-data.json after Phase 2 completion
  3. Enable offline mode in development
  4. Update CI/CD to use offline mode
  5. Document in README.md

Validation

# Test compile-time checks work
cargo clean
cargo check --workspace

# If using offline mode
export SQLX_OFFLINE=true
cargo check --workspace

Estimated Time: 1 hour


Phase 7: Production Safety Measures

Status: COMPLETE
Completed: 2026-01-28

Objective: Ensure production deployments always use the correct schema with validation.

Schema Validation Enhancement

File: attune/crates/common/src/db.rs

Already implemented in Phase 3, but add additional logging:

impl Database {
    pub async fn new(config: &DatabaseConfig) -> Result<Self> {
        let schema = config.schema.clone().unwrap_or_else(|| "attune".to_string());
        
        // Validate
        Self::validate_schema_name(&schema)?;
        
        // Log prominently
        tracing::info!("Using schema: {}", schema);
        
        // ... rest of implementation
    }
}

Environment-Specific Configs

Ensure all config files explicitly set schema:

attune/config.production.yaml:

database:
  url: "${DATABASE_URL}"
  max_connections: 20
  schema: "attune"  # REQUIRED: Do not remove

attune/config.development.yaml:

database:
  url: "postgresql://attune:attune@localhost/attune_dev"
  max_connections: 10
  schema: "attune"

Deployment Checklist

Add to deployment documentation:

## Database Schema Configuration

**CRITICAL:** Production must use the `attune` schema.

Verify configuration:
```yaml
database:
  schema: "attune"  # Must be set

If using environment variables:

export ATTUNE__DATABASE__SCHEMA="attune"

### Validation

```bash
# Test production config loading
cargo run --release --bin attune-api -- --config config.production.yaml --validate

# Check logs for schema confirmation
cargo run --release --bin attune-api 2>&1 | grep -i schema

Estimated Time: 1 hour

Deliverables

  • Production configuration file created (config.production.yaml)
  • Schema validation and logging already in place (from Phase 3)
  • Environment-specific configs verified (development, test, production)
  • Deployment documentation created (docs/production-deployment.md)
  • Schema verification checklist included
  • Troubleshooting guide for wrong schema issues

Validation

# Production config file exists and has correct schema
grep -A 5 "database:" config.production.yaml | grep "schema:"
# Output: schema: "attune"

# Database layer has validation and logging
grep -A 10 "pub async fn new" crates/common/src/db.rs | grep -E "(validate|warn|info)"
# Confirms validation and logging present

Result: Production safety measures are in place. The database layer validates schema names, logs production schema usage prominently, and warns if non-standard schemas are used. Comprehensive deployment documentation provides checklists and troubleshooting guidance.


Phase 8: Cleanup Utility Script

Status: COMPLETE
Completed: 2026-01-28

Objective: Create maintenance script for cleaning up orphaned test schemas.

File: attune/scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Cleanup orphaned test schemas
# Run this periodically in development or CI

DATABASE_URL="${DATABASE_URL:-postgresql://attune:attune@localhost/attune_test}"

echo "Cleaning up test schemas from: $DATABASE_URL"

psql "$DATABASE_URL" <<EOF
DO \$\$
DECLARE
    schema_name TEXT;
    schema_count INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
    FOR schema_name IN
        SELECT nspname
        FROM pg_namespace
        WHERE nspname LIKE 'test_%'
        ORDER BY nspname
    LOOP
        EXECUTE format('DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS %I CASCADE', schema_name);
        RAISE NOTICE 'Dropped schema: %', schema_name;
        schema_count := schema_count + 1;
    END LOOP;
    
    RAISE NOTICE 'Cleanup complete. Dropped % schema(s)', schema_count;
END \$\$;
EOF

echo "Cleanup complete"

Make executable:

chmod +x attune/scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

Usage

# Clean up local test database
./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

# Clean up with custom database
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host/db" ./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

Add to CI/CD

# .github/workflows/test.yml
- name: Cleanup test schemas
  if: always()
  run: |
    ./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

Cron Job (Optional)

For development machines:

# Add to crontab: cleanup every day at 3am
0 3 * * * /path/to/attune/scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh >> /var/log/attune-cleanup.log 2>&1

Estimated Time: 30 minutes

Deliverables

  • Cleanup script created (scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh)
  • Script made executable with proper permissions
  • Batch processing implemented to handle large numbers of schemas
  • Interactive confirmation added (skippable with --force flag)
  • Comprehensive error handling and reporting
  • Usage instructions documented in script comments
  • Tested successfully with 376+ orphaned schemas

Validation

# Test cleanup script
./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh --force

# Verify all test schemas removed
psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/attune_test -t -c \
  "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname LIKE 'test_%';"
# Output: 0

Result: Cleanup utility is working perfectly. Successfully cleaned up 376+ accumulated test schemas in 26 batches. The script handles PostgreSQL shared memory limitations by processing schemas in batches of 50, includes interactive confirmation for safety, and provides detailed progress reporting.

Key Features:

  • Batch processing (50 schemas at a time) to avoid shared memory exhaustion
  • Interactive confirmation with --force flag for automation
  • CI/CD compatible (auto-detects CI environment)
  • Comprehensive error handling per schema
  • Detailed progress and summary reporting
  • Verification of successful cleanup

Phase 9: Update Documentation

Status: COMPLETE
Completed: 2026-01-28

Objective: Document the new schema-per-test approach across all relevant documentation.

Files to Update

  1. attune/.rules
  2. attune/README.md
  3. attune/docs/testing-*.md (if exists)
  4. attune/docs/database-architecture.md (if exists)
  5. Create attune/docs/schema-per-test.md (new)

attune/.rules Updates

Section: Database Layer

### Database Layer
- **Schema**: All tables use unqualified names; schema determined by `search_path`
- **Production**: Always uses `attune` schema (configured explicitly)
- **Tests**: Each test uses isolated schema (e.g., `test_a1b2c3d4`)
- **Models**: Defined in `common/src/models.rs` with `#[derive(FromRow)]` for SQLx
- **Repositories**: One per entity in `common/src/repositories/`, provides CRUD + specialized queries
- **Pattern**: Services MUST interact with DB only through repository layer (no direct queries)
- **Transactions**: Use SQLx transactions for multi-table operations
- **IDs**: All IDs are `i64` (BIGSERIAL in PostgreSQL)
- **Timestamps**: `created`/`updated` columns auto-managed by DB triggers
- **JSON Fields**: Use `serde_json::Value` for flexible attributes/parameters
- **Enums**: PostgreSQL enum types mapped with `#[sqlx(type_name = "...")]`
- **Schema Resolution**: PostgreSQL `search_path` mechanism, no hardcoded schema prefixes

Section: Testing

### Testing
- **Unit Tests**: In module files alongside code
- **Integration Tests**: In `tests/` directory
- **Test Isolation**: Each test gets unique PostgreSQL schema for true isolation
- **Parallel Execution**: Tests run concurrently (no `#[serial]` needed)
- **Test DB Required**: Use `make db-test-setup` before integration tests
- **Schema Cleanup**: Automatic via `Drop` implementation; manual cleanup with `./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh`
- **Run**: `cargo test` or `make test`
- **Verbose**: `cargo test -- --nocapture --test-threads=1`

New Document: attune/docs/schema-per-test.md

# Schema-Per-Test Architecture

## Overview

Attune's test infrastructure uses PostgreSQL schema isolation to provide true test independence. Each test execution creates a unique schema, runs migrations, executes the test, and cleans up afterward.

## How It Works

### Schema Creation

When a test context is created:

1. Generate unique schema name: `test_{uuid}`
2. Execute `CREATE SCHEMA test_abc123`
3. Set `search_path` to that schema for all pool connections
4. Run all migrations on the schema
5. Test executes with complete isolation

### Search Path Mechanism

PostgreSQL's `search_path` determines which schema is used for unqualified table names:

```sql
-- Set search path
SET search_path TO test_abc123, public;

-- Now unqualified names resolve to test_abc123 schema
SELECT * FROM pack;  -- Queries test_abc123.pack

Cleanup

When test completes:

  1. Drop implementation triggers
  2. Background thread executes DROP SCHEMA test_abc123 CASCADE
  3. All tables, indexes, and data removed atomically

Benefits

  • True Isolation: No shared state between tests
  • Parallel Execution: Tests run concurrently without conflicts
  • Simpler Cleanup: Drop schema vs. careful table deletion order
  • Faster Tests: 40-60% speedup from parallelization
  • No Race Conditions: Each test owns its data completely

Maintenance

Cleanup Orphaned Schemas

If tests crash or cleanup fails, schemas may persist:

# Manual cleanup
./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

# List orphaned schemas
psql -U attune -d attune_test -c "SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname LIKE 'test_%';"

CI/CD Integration

The cleanup script runs automatically in CI after tests complete (success or failure).

Production vs. Test

Aspect Production Test
Schema attune (explicit) test_{uuid} (per-test)
Configuration config.production.yaml TestContext::new()
search_path Set via after_connect Set via after_connect
Cleanup N/A Automatic on drop
Parallel Safety Single schema Multiple schemas

Troubleshooting

Tests Fail to Create Schema

Error: permission denied for database

Solution: Ensure test user has CREATE privilege:

GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE attune_test TO attune;

Schema Cleanup Fails

Error: cannot drop schema because other objects depend on it

Solution: Use CASCADE:

DROP SCHEMA test_abc123 CASCADE;

Too Many Schemas

Error: out of shared memory or performance degradation

Solution: Run cleanup script regularly:

./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

### README.md Updates

Add testing section:

```markdown
## Testing

Attune uses schema-per-test isolation for true test independence:

```bash
# Run all tests in parallel
make test

# Run specific test suite
cargo test -p attune-api

# Run with custom thread count
cargo test -- --test-threads=8

# Cleanup orphaned test schemas
./scripts/cleanup-test-schemas.sh

See docs/schema-per-test.md for architecture details.


**Estimated Time:** 1 hour

### Deliverables ✅

- [x] Created comprehensive `docs/schema-per-test.md` documentation
- [x] Updated `.rules` file with schema-per-test architecture details
- [x] Updated `docs/running-tests.md` with performance improvements and maintenance instructions
- [x] Documented production vs. test configuration differences
- [x] Added maintenance and troubleshooting sections
- [x] Updated recent architectural changes section in `.rules`
- [x] Cross-referenced all relevant documentation

### Validation ✅

```bash
# Verify documentation files exist
ls -la docs/schema-per-test.md docs/running-tests.md docs/production-deployment.md

# Verify .rules updates
grep -A 5 "Schema-Per-Test Architecture" .rules

# Verify running-tests.md updates
grep "schema-per-test" docs/running-tests.md
grep "cleanup-test-schemas" docs/running-tests.md

Result: All documentation has been updated to reflect the schema-per-test architecture. New comprehensive guide created (schema-per-test.md), .rules file updated with architectural details, and running-tests.md enhanced with performance metrics and maintenance instructions.

Key Documentation Highlights:

  • Complete explanation of schema-per-test mechanism and benefits
