## Session Summary: Issue #65 Template Engine Foundation + CLI Regression Fix
|
|
|
|
### Major Achievements ✅
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Issue #65 - Template Engine Foundation (COMPLETED)
|
|
**Implementation:** Complete TDD8 methodology implementation
|
|
- **30 comprehensive tests** (100% passing)
|
|
- **3 TDD8 cycles:** Parser → Substitution → Integration
|
|
- **Business-ready features:** Invoice generation, report templating
|
|
- **CLI integration:** `markitect template-render` command
|
|
|
|
**Core Features Delivered:**
|
|
- Variable substitution with `{{variable}}` syntax
|
|
- Nested object access with dot notation (`{{customer.name}}`)
|
|
- Unicode support for international characters
|
|
- Strict/lenient rendering modes
|
|
- Template validation and data completeness checking
|
|
- Performance optimized (1000+ variables in <0.1s)
|
|
|
|
**Architecture:**
|
|
- `markitect/template/parser.py` - Variable parsing engine
|
|
- `markitect/template/engine.py` - Template rendering engine
|
|
- Comprehensive exception hierarchy
|
|
- Structured data classes for analysis results
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Critical CLI Regression Fix (COMPLETED)
|
|
**Problem:** `markitect --help` completely broken due to import path issues
|
|
**Root Cause:** `domain` module not accessible from installed package
|
|
**Fix:** Added proper path resolution in `markitect/issues/base.py`
|
|
**Prevention:** 12 comprehensive CLI integration tests in `tests/test_cli_integration.py`
|
|
|
|
### Technical Implementation Highlights
|
|
|
|
#### Template Engine Excellence
|
|
```python
|
|
# Template rendering with business scenarios
|
|
engine = TemplateEngine()
|
|
result = engine.render(invoice_template, invoice_data)
|
|
# Generates professional invoices with frontmatter, nested data, calculations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### CLI Professional Integration
|
|
```bash
|
|
markitect template-render invoice.md data.json --validate --check-data -o output.md
|
|
# Full business document generation pipeline
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Test Coverage Achievement
|
|
- **Total tests:** 769 across entire project
|
|
- **Issue #65 tests:** 30 comprehensive tests
|
|
- **CLI integration tests:** 12 regression prevention tests
|
|
- **Business validation:** Real invoice/report generation tested
|
|
|
|
