[test] Add tests for writeGatewayConfig, loadEnvFile, and tracing helpers

[github-actions]

Test Coverage Improvement: cmd package

Functions Analyzed

• Package: internal/cmd
• Functions: writeGatewayConfig, loadEnvFile, initTracingProviderWithFallback, shutdownTracingProviderWithTimeout
• Previous Coverage: Multiple branches untested
• Complexity: Medium–High (wildcard address logic, file I/O, tracing lifecycle)

Why These Functions?

writeGatewayConfig has a critical correctness requirement: wildcard bind addresses (0.0.0.0, [::]) must be remapped to 127.0.0.1 in output client URLs, since clients cannot connect to wildcard addresses directly. These branches had no test coverage, meaning a regression would go undetected.

loadEnvFile had no tests for malformed lines (no = separator), files containing only comments, or values with embedded = characters (e.g. base64-encoded secrets).

initTracingProviderWithFallback and shutdownTracingProviderWithTimeout had zero tests despite being called on every gateway startup and shutdown.

Tests Added

internal/cmd/root_test.go

• ✅ TestWriteGatewayConfig_WildcardAddresses — 4 sub-cases:
  • IPv4 wildcard 0.0.0.0:3000 → domain remapped to 127.0.0.1
  • IPv6 wildcard [::]:4000 → domain remapped to 127.0.0.1
  • Empty host (:8080) → falls back to default 127.0.0.1
  • Non-wildcard 192.168.1.10 → preserved as-is
• ✅ TestWriteGatewayConfig_EmptyServerList — valid JSON with empty mcpServers
• ✅ TestWriteGatewayConfig_FileSync — exercises *os.File sync code path
• ✅ TestLoadEnvFile_SkipMalformedLines — lines without = are silently skipped
• ✅ TestLoadEnvFile_OnlyComments — all-comment file processes without error
• ✅ TestLoadEnvFile_EqualsInValue — values with embedded = (e.g. dGVzdA==) preserved

internal/cmd/tracing_helpers_test.go

• ✅ TestInitTracingProviderWithFallback — 3 sub-cases:
  • Nil config → noop provider, no warning
  • Config without endpoint → noop provider, no warning
  • Unreachable endpoint → always returns non-nil provider (fallback guarantee)
• ✅ TestShutdownTracingProviderWithTimeout — noop provider shuts down cleanly

Notes

The make agent-finished pipeline (format/build/lint/test) could not be executed locally due to network restrictions in the agent environment blocking Go module downloads (go proxy.golang.org is firewalled). All tests are structurally correct and follow existing patterns. The CI pipeline performs go mod download before testing and will verify correctness.

Pull request overview

Adds test coverage in internal/cmd for gateway config output rewriting, .env parsing edge-cases, and tracing provider lifecycle helpers to reduce regression risk in gateway startup/shutdown and generated client configs.

Changes:

• Add tests for writeGatewayConfig covering wildcard/empty hosts, empty server list, and *os.File sync path.
• Add tests for loadEnvFile covering malformed lines, comment-only files, and values containing =.
• Add tests for tracing helper functions to validate noop paths and fallback/shutdown behavior.

• The assertion here is conditional (if warnMsg != "" { ... }), so the test will still pass even when no warning is emitted and the fallback branch was never executed. Once the error case is made deterministic, assert that the warning callback was invoked (and optionally that it includes the expected prefix) so the test actually validates the fallback guarantee.

		// Regardless of whether the provider initialisation fails,
		// the fallback must always return a non-nil provider.
		require.NotNil(t, provider, "Fallback provider must not be nil")
		// If the init failed, the warning callback must have been called.
		if warnMsg != "" {
			assert.Contains(t, warnMsg, "tracing init failed")
		}
	})

This subtest tries to trigger the error/fallback branch by using an "unreachable" OTLP endpoint, but tracing.InitProvider only constructs an OTLP/HTTP exporter and does not necessarily dial the endpoint during initialization. That means this may not error (and could become flaky/slow if the exporter library changes). Use an intentionally invalid endpoint URL (one that fails parsing/validation) and/or a context with a short timeout so the test deterministically exercises the err != nil fallback path without relying on network behavior.

This issue also appears on line 103 of the same file.
