Rework the /mqtt_prefs load/save path so preference migrations are
crash-safe and, for the first time, unit-testable on the host.
Most of this is extraction. The multi-format migration that previously
lived inline in CommonCLI.cpp (and could only run on-device) is moved
into three dependency-free headers so it can be exercised without
Arduino, a filesystem, or the radio stack:
- MQTTPrefsStorage.h frozen layout structs for every /mqtt_prefs
format ever shipped, with static_asserts that
fail the build if any on-flash offset changes.
- MQTTPrefsCodec.h pure format classification, field-copy
migration, and plausibility validation.
- MQTTPrefsAtomicStore.h transactional writer plus the power-cut
upgrade gate, both host-testable.
New behavior, beyond the refactor:
- Atomic writes: /mqtt_prefs is written to /mqtt_prefs.tmp, verified,
then published with an atomic rename; the writer never removes the
existing file. A failed or interrupted save leaves the current
config intact.
- Power-cut ordering: LegacyUpgradeGate guarantees /mqtt_prefs is
durably committed before the legacy /com_prefs (or /node_prefs)
carrying the observer tail is compacted or removed, so an
interrupted two-file upgrade retries on the next boot without
losing settings.
- Corrupt, unsupported-version, and newer-than-known files are
preserved and the device boots on in-RAM defaults, rather than
overwriting a file this firmware cannot fully decode.
- Headerless legacy formats are validated for plausibility before
they are trusted and rewritten (raw prefs carry no checksum).
The full historical format matrix is migrated forward to the versioned
v1 layout: pre-slot (including pre-wifi-power), 3-slot (base and
token/topic tails), and headerless 6-slot (base, audience, rx, ntp).
Scope note: only /mqtt_prefs and the one-time /node_prefs -> /com_prefs
name migration use the atomic path. Ordinary /com_prefs saves remain a
direct rewrite, unchanged by this commit.
Tests: adds two host GoogleTest suites (pio test -e native).
- test_mqtt_prefs_codec: format classification, migration fixtures,
v1 header integrity, downgrade preservation.
- test_mqtt_prefs_atomic_store: transactional writes, short-write
detection, begin/finish/rename failure cleanup, original-file
preservation.

# Host unit tests
|
|
|
|
Fast, hardware-free unit tests for the fork's pure logic, run on the host with
|
|
GoogleTest via PlatformIO's `native` environment. They cover the extractable
|
|
observer/WebConfig logic (validation, preset table, topic templates, key
|
|
parsing) — the parts that don't depend on the ESP32, radio, or network stack.
|
|
Integration behavior (AsyncTCP transport, WiFi/MQTT, SoftAP) is exercised
|
|
separately; see "Local testing without hardware" in `MQTT_IMPLEMENTATION.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pio test -e native # all suites
|
|
pio test -e native -f test_webconfig_keys # a single suite
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A green `[PASSED]` per suite means GoogleTest returned 0 (all assertions
|
|
passed). PlatformIO's "0 test cases" line is just its Unity-style counter and
|
|
does not reflect the GoogleTest count — run the built binary directly
|
|
(`.pio/build/native/program`) to see the per-assertion breakdown.
|
|
|
|
## Suites

|
| Suite | Source under test | Covers |
|
|
|-------|-------------------|--------|
|
|
| `test_mqtt_presets` | `src/helpers/MQTTPresets.h` | preset lookup; table integrity (unique names, non-empty URLs, JWT-audience invariant, names fit the slot buffer); `mqttPresetNeedsSlotCredentials`; slot-count constants |
|
|
| `test_observer_validation` | `src/helpers/MQTTObserverValidation.h` | IATA (exactly 3 alphanumerics), owner key (64 hex), NTP hostname, and the buffer-fit check behind the #17 length validation — including boundaries and nulls |
|
|
| `test_webconfig_keys` | `src/helpers/WebConfigKeys.h` | POST-key allowlist, secret detection, slot-index bounds, and the short-key out-of-bounds guard (attacker-supplied keys) |
|
|
| `test_topic_template` | `src/helpers/MQTTTopicTemplate.h` | `{iata}/{device}/{token}/{type}` expansion, overflow/NUL-termination, and a buffer-size fuzz |

|
## Conventions (and how to add a suite)
|
|
|
|
- Each `test/test_<name>/` directory builds into its **own** GoogleTest program
|
|
and must define its own `main()` (`::testing::InitGoogleTest` + `RUN_ALL_TESTS`).
|
|
- Tests are **host-only**: include only pure headers. Arduino/crypto stubs live
|
|
in `test/mocks/` (on the include path via `-I test/mocks`).
|
|
- Firmware headers are included from `src` (via `-I src`, e.g.
|
|
`#include "helpers/MQTTPresets.h"`). Some are guarded or ESP-flavored, so a
|
|
suite may need shims **before** the include — e.g. `test_mqtt_presets` does
|
|
`#define WITH_MQTT_BRIDGE 1` (the preset table is behind that flag) and
|
|
`#define PROGMEM` (the embedded CA-cert strings are PROGMEM-qualified).
|
|
- To add a suite: create `test/test_<name>/test_<name>.cpp` with a `main()`, and
|
|
add any host-only source it links to the `native` env's `build_src_filter` in
|
|
`platformio.ini` (header-only code needs no source entry). No other wiring.
|
|
- Keep logic testable by extracting pure functions into headers (as
|
|
`MQTTObserverValidation.h` / `WebConfigKeys.h` / `MQTTTopicTemplate.h` do) and
|
|
having the firmware call the same functions.
