Summary

  • swift-package-tests ran swift test for all 30 listed packages on every macOS-routed run, about 13 of the job's 17 minutes, although most changes touch none of them.
  • scripts/ci/select_package_tests.py picks the packages a change can affect: the package itself, every package that depends on it by path (transitively, read from each Package.swift), and declared extra inputs (Native/CommandPaletteNucleoFFI/ for CmuxCommandPalette). The job's own inputs (ci.yml, the scripts its test steps call, .xcode-version, the ghostty revision) select everything, and so does any path the script does not know.
  • The diff is the commit against its first parent: the base for a pull request, the queue entry ahead for a merge group (which its own run already validated). Without that parent, or on a dispatch, every package runs.
  • Bonsplit's tests follow vendor/bonsplit the same way, the nucleo FFI cargo build runs only when CmuxCommandPalette is selected, and CmuxBrowser is no longer listed (and tested) twice.
  • The job still always builds and uploads the Ghostty CLI helper, which release-build downloads.

Measured

Replayed against the 182 macOS-routed pull requests merged in the last 7 days: 117 (64%) select no package, 23 select 1 to 5, 14 select 6 to 29, 28 select all 30. That is 19% of today's package test work. A CmuxFoundation change still runs its 14 dependents.

Testing

  • tests/test_ci_select_package_tests.py (wired into workflow-guard-tests): transitive dependents across group folders, path dependencies outside Packages/, extra inputs, unknown paths and unknown diffs failing safe, a listed package that does not exist failing, and the workflow's own list resolving with no duplicates. PASS on Python 3.9 and 3.12.
  • tests/test_ci_change_areas.py: PASS. actionlint clean.
  • This pull request edits ci.yml, so its own run selects every package; the first real selection happens on the next package-free pull request after merge.

Summary by cubic

Runs swift-package-tests only for packages a change can affect, cutting package-test time from about 13 minutes to near zero on most macOS-routed runs.

Behavior

  • scripts/ci/select_package_tests.py picks affected packages by following path dependencies transitively through the diff against the commit's first parent.
  • The job's own global inputs (workflow, toolchain, GhosttyKit revision, scripts its test steps call), unknown paths, a missing diff parent, and dispatches still run every package.
  • Bonsplit tests follow vendor/bonsplit the same way; the nucleo FFI build runs only when CmuxCommandPalette is selected, and CmuxBrowser is no longer tested twice.
  • git diff --no-renames keeps a moved file selecting the package it left, and a vendor/bonsplit revision bump (the bare directory path) selects the Bonsplit tests.
  • The job still always builds and uploads the Ghostty CLI helper for release-build to download.
  • Because this PR edits ci.yml, its own run still tests every package.

Testing

  • New tests cover transitive dependents, path dependencies outside Packages/, extra inputs, bare submodule paths, rename handling, and fail-safe selection.
  • A new test fails if a script the package test job runs is not listed as a global input.
  • Replaying against the last 7 days of macOS-routed PRs, 64% select no package and total package-test work drops to 19%.

Written for commit b6b9c36. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Swift package testing now automatically identifies and runs only tests affected by each change.
    • Related packages and dependencies are included when changes may affect them, while broad or uncertain changes continue to run the full test suite.
    • Unrelated changes can avoid unnecessary package tests.
  • Tests

    • Added validation to ensure package test selection, change detection, and full-suite fallback behavior remain accurate and reliable.

swift-package-tests ran all 30 packages on every macOS-routed run, about 13
minutes of swift test, although most changes touch none of them. A package's
tests can change outcome only when the package, a package it depends on by
path (transitively), a declared extra input, or the test job itself changes.
scripts/ci/select_package_tests.py reads those path dependencies from each
Package.swift and picks the affected packages from the commit's diff against
its first parent. Unknown paths, a missing parent and dispatches select every
package.

The Bonsplit tests follow vendor/bonsplit the same way, the nucleo FFI build
runs only when CmuxCommandPalette is selected, and CmuxBrowser is no longer
listed twice.

Against the 182 macOS-routed pull requests merged in the last 7 days this
selects no package for 64% of them and 19% of the package test work overall.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds changed-file package selection for Swift package tests. CI derives changed files, selects affected packages, gates Bonsplit tests, and builds the Nucleo library only when CmuxCommandPalette is selected.

Changes

Package test selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package selector and behavioral coverage
scripts/ci/select_package_tests.py, tests/test_ci_select_package_tests.py
The selector resolves package and path dependencies, classifies changed paths, selects affected packages, validates package names, and preserves package order. Tests cover dependency graphs, global inputs, unrelated paths, unknown changes, and workflow package lists.
CI workflow integration
.github/workflows/ci.yml
CI fetches the previous commit, derives changed files, invokes the selector, skips unselected packages, gates Bonsplit tests, and builds the Nucleo library only when CmuxCommandPalette is selected.
Workflow selection validation
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/test_ci_select_package_tests.py
The workflow guard runs integration checks for package lists, diff handling, Bonsplit filtering, and global script inputs.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because changes to transitively invoked CI helpers can still skip all affected package tests while the new regression guard passes.

Findings

  1. P1 Transitive Helpers Remain Untracked ▶

Summary

The PR introduces dependency-aware selection for Swift package tests so CI runs only packages affected by a change while falling back to the complete suite for unknown or job-wide inputs.

  • Computes transitive SwiftPM path-dependency impact and package-specific extra inputs.
  • Integrates package, Bonsplit, and Command Palette FFI selection into the macOS workflow.
  • Adds regression coverage for selection behavior and job-script inputs.
  • The new job-script coverage remains incomplete for helpers referenced through uppercase $SCRIPT_DIR.

use the boundary-aware pattern ^vendor/bonsplit(/|$), matching both the exact

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci.yml Outdated
git diff --name-only reports only a rename's destination, so a file moved
out of a package did not select that package. --no-renames lists both paths.

vendor/bonsplit is a submodule, so a revision bump appears as the bare path.
The Bonsplit test step only matched paths below it and would have skipped,
and the selector treated the bare path as unknown. Both now match the
directory itself as well as files under it.

P1 Transitive Helpers Remain Untracked

The new regression guard only follows helpers referenced as lowercase $script_dir/<name>, but the job also invokes helpers through uppercase $SCRIPT_DIR. For example, install-zig-ci.sh and build-ghostty-cli-helper.sh source scripts/ghostty-zig-version.sh, and download-prebuilt-ghosttykit.sh invokes scripts/validate-xcframework-archive.py. Neither helper is in GLOBAL_INPUTS, so changing one can select no packages even though it changes the toolchain or artifact preparation used by this job, while this guard still passes. Expand discovery to cover these actual invocation forms and include every discovered input in GLOBAL_INPUTS.
