Execute Feedback Command

Run executable feedback loop on generated code: execute tests, analyze failures, fix, and retry.

Instructions

When invoked, perform the executable feedback loop per REF-013 MetaGPT:

1. Identify Target

   • Load the specified file or recently modified code files
   • Determine test framework (jest, pytest, cargo test, go test, etc.)
   • Find existing tests or generate test stubs if none exist

2. Execute Tests

   • Run the specified test command (or auto-detect)
   • Capture full output (stdout, stderr, exit code)
   • Parse test results: passed, failed, errors, skipped

3. Analyze Failures

   • For each failing test:
     • Extract error type and message
     • Identify root cause (null check, type error, logic error, etc.)
     • Map to source code location
   • Check debug memory for similar past failures

4. Apply Fixes

   • Generate targeted fix based on root cause analysis
   • Apply fix to source code
   • Increment attempt counter

5. Re-Execute

   • Run tests again after fix
   • Compare results to previous attempt
   • If all pass: record success in debug memory, return
   • If still failing: repeat from step 3

6. Escalate if Needed

   • After max attempts (default: 3), escalate to human
   • Include: all test results, failure analyses, fix attempts
   • Save debug memory session

7. Update Debug Memory

   • Record execution session in .aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/sessions/
   • Extract learned patterns to .aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/patterns/
   • Update success metrics

Arguments

• [file-path] - Source file to test (default: recently modified files)
• --test-command [cmd] - Test command to run (default: auto-detect)
• --max-attempts [n] - Maximum fix attempts (default: 3)
• --coverage [%] - Minimum coverage target (default: 80)
• --no-fix - Run tests only, report without fixing
• --verbose - Show full test output
