Overview
TypeScript CLI orchestrator that builds, packs, and runs the openai-node SDK against a suite of ecosystem test projects spanning Node.js CJS/ESM, browser, Cloudflare Worker, Vercel Edge, Bun, and Webpack environments.
Description
ecosystem-tests/cli.ts is a 668-line TypeScript script that serves as the central test runner for SDK compatibility testing. It packs the SDK into a tarball, installs it into each test project, and executes the project-specific test commands. The script supports parallel execution, retries, CI integration, and live API testing.
Supported Test Projects
The CLI defines runners for the following ecosystem test projects:
| Project | Runtime/Environment | Runner Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| `node-ts-cjs` | Node.js + TypeScript (CommonJS) | Install, compile with `tsc`, optionally run tests |
| `node-ts-cjs-web` | Node.js + TypeScript (CJS, web target) | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-ts-cjs-auto` | Node.js + TypeScript (CJS, auto module) | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-ts4.5-jest28` | Node.js + TypeScript 4.5 + Jest 28 | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-ts-esm` | Node.js + TypeScript (ESM) | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-ts-esm-web` | Node.js + TypeScript (ESM, web target) | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-ts-esm-auto` | Node.js + TypeScript (ESM, auto module) | Same as default Node runner |
| `node-js` | Node.js (plain JavaScript) | Install, run `test.js` |
| `ts-browser-webpack` | Browser + Webpack | Install, compile, build, optionally run CI tests |
| `browser-direct-import` | Browser (direct import) | Install, symlink node_modules, compile, optionally run CI tests |
| `vercel-edge` | Vercel Edge Runtime | Install, dev test, build, CI test, optional deploy |
| `cloudflare-worker` | Cloudflare Workers | Install, write `.dev.vars`, compile, CI test, optional deploy |
| `bun` | Bun runtime | Install via `bun install`, compile, optionally run tests |
CLI Arguments
The script uses `yargs` to parse command-line options:
- positional projects -- select specific projects to run
- --verbose -- enable verbose output (stdio inherit)
- --skip -- skip specific projects by name
- --skipPack -- skip the build and pack step
- --fromNpm -- test installing from a published NPM package instead of local tarball
- --live -- make live API requests during tests
- --deploy -- push projects to live servers (Vercel, Cloudflare)
- --jobs -- number of parallel jobs (default: 1)
- --parallel -- run all projects in parallel
- --retry / --retryDelay -- retry failing projects with configurable delay
- --noCleanup -- skip file restoration on exit
Architecture
The script follows this execution flow:
- Validate `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable is set
- Parse CLI arguments via `yargs`
- Find the package root directory by traversing up to find `package.json`
- Build and pack the SDK into a `.pack/openai.tgz` tarball (unless `--skipPack`)
- Start an HTTPS proxy server for proxied API connections
- Cache ecosystem project files (package.json, lockfiles) to a `tmp/` directory
- Execute each selected project runner, either sequentially or in parallel
- Restore cached files and clean up artifacts on exit
Key Internal Functions
- `main()` -- Entry point; orchestrates the full lifecycle
- `buildPackage()` -- Runs `yarn build` and `npm pack` to create the SDK tarball
- `installPackage()` -- Cleans `node_modules` and installs the packed tarball into a test project
- `startProxy()` -- Creates an HTTP CONNECT proxy to `api.openai.com:443` for testing proxy support
- `withRetry(fn, id, retryAmount, retryDelayMs)` -- Retries a function with configurable delay
- `fileCache` -- IIFE module that caches and restores `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `deno.lock`, and `bun.lockb` files before/after test runs
- `withChdir(dir, fn)` -- Executes a function in a different working directory
- `run(command, args, config)` -- Wraps `execa` for subprocess execution with verbose logging
Parallel Execution
When `--jobs > 1` or `--parallel` is used, the CLI spawns child processes that re-invoke itself (`yarn tsn __filename project --skip-pack --noCleanup`) for each project. Output from parallel runs is buffered and flushed sequentially. A terminal spinner shows progress in interactive environments. In CI environments (`CI=true`), GitHub Actions `::group::` annotations are emitted.
