--- name: cross-repo-testing description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "test a cross-repo feature", "deploy a feature branch to staging", "test SDK against OH Cloud", "e2e test a cloud workspace feature", "test provider tokens", "test secrets inheritance", or when changes span the SDK and OpenHands server repos and need end-to-end validation against a staging deployment. triggers: - cross-repo - staging deployment - feature branch deploy - test against cloud - e2e cloud --- # Cross-Repo Testing: SDK ↔ OpenHands Cloud How to end-to-end test features that span `OpenHands/software-agent-sdk` and `OpenHands/OpenHands` (the Cloud backend). ## Repository Map | Repo | Role | What lives here | |------|------|-----------------| | [`software-agent-sdk`](https://github.com/OpenHands/software-agent-sdk) | Agent core | `openhands-sdk`, `openhands-workspace`, `openhands-tools` packages. `OpenHandsCloudWorkspace` lives here. | | [`OpenHands`](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands) | Cloud backend | FastAPI server (`openhands/app_server/`), sandbox management, auth, enterprise integrations. Deployed as OH Cloud. | | [`deploy`](https://github.com/OpenHands/deploy) | Infrastructure | Helm charts + GitHub Actions that build the enterprise Docker image and deploy to staging/production. | **Data flow:** SDK client → OH Cloud API (`/api/v1/...`) → sandbox agent-server (inside runtime container) ## When You Need This There are **two flows** depending on which direction the dependency goes: | Flow | When | Example | |------|------|---------| | **A — SDK client → new Cloud API** | The SDK calls an API that doesn't exist yet on production | `workspace.get_llm()` calling `GET /api/v1/users/me?expose_secrets=true` | | **B — OH server → new SDK code** | The Cloud server needs unreleased SDK packages or a new agent-server image | Server consumes a new tool, agent behavior, or workspace method from the SDK | Flow A only requires deploying the server PR. Flow B requires pinning the SDK to an unreleased commit in the server PR **and** using the SDK PR's agent-server image. Both flows may apply simultaneously. --- ## Flow A: SDK Client Tests Against New Cloud API Use this when the SDK calls an endpoint that only exists on the server PR branch. ### A1. Write and test the server-side changes In the `OpenHands` repo, implement the new API endpoint(s). Run unit tests: ```bash cd OpenHands poetry run pytest tests/unit/app_server/test_.py -v ``` Push a PR. Wait for the **"Push Enterprise Image" (Docker) CI job** to succeed — this builds `ghcr.io/openhands/enterprise-server:sha-`. ### A2. Write the SDK-side changes In `software-agent-sdk`, implement the client code (e.g., new methods on `OpenHandsCloudWorkspace`). Run SDK unit tests: ```bash cd software-agent-sdk pip install -e openhands-sdk -e openhands-workspace pytest tests/ -v ``` Push a PR. SDK CI is independent — it doesn't need the server changes to pass unit tests. ### A3. Deploy the server PR to staging See [Deploying to a Staging Feature Environment](#deploying-to-a-staging-feature-environment) below. ### A4. Run the SDK e2e test against staging See [Running E2E Tests Against Staging](#running-e2e-tests-against-staging) below. --- ## Flow B: OH Server Needs Unreleased SDK Code Use this when the Cloud server depends on SDK changes that haven't been released to PyPI yet. The server's runtime containers run the `agent-server` image built from the SDK repo, so the server PR must be configured to use the SDK PR's image and packages. ### B1. Get the SDK PR merged (or identify the commit) The SDK PR must have CI pass so its agent-server Docker image is built. The image is tagged with the **merge-commit SHA** from GitHub Actions — NOT the head-commit SHA shown in the PR. Find the correct image tag: - Check the SDK PR description for an `AGENT_SERVER_IMAGES` section - Or check the "Consolidate Build Information" CI job for `"short_sha": ""` ### B2. Pin SDK packages to the commit in the OpenHands PR In the `OpenHands` repo PR, pin all 3 SDK packages (`openhands-sdk`, `openhands-agent-server`, `openhands-tools`) to the unreleased commit and update the agent-server image tag. This involves editing 3 files and regenerating 3 lock files. Follow the **`update-sdk` skill** → "Development: Pin SDK to an Unreleased Commit" section for the full procedure and file-by-file instructions. ### B3. Wait for the OpenHands enterprise image to build Push the pinned changes. The OpenHands CI will build a new enterprise Docker image (`ghcr.io/openhands/enterprise-server:sha-`) that bundles the unreleased SDK. Wait for the "Push Enterprise Image" job to succeed. ### B4. Deploy and test Follow [Deploying to a Staging Feature Environment](#deploying-to-a-staging-feature-environment) using the new OpenHands commit SHA. ### B5. Before merging: remove the pin **CI guard:** `check-package-versions.yml` blocks merge to `main` if `[tool.poetry.dependencies]` contains `rev` fields. Before the OpenHands PR can merge, the SDK PR must be merged and released to PyPI, then the pin must be replaced with the released version number. --- ## Deploying to a Staging Feature Environment The `deploy` repo creates preview environments from OpenHands PRs. **Option A — GitHub Actions UI (preferred):** Go to `OpenHands/deploy` → Actions → "Create OpenHands preview PR" → enter the OpenHands PR number. This creates a branch `ohpr--` and opens a deploy PR. **Option B — Update an existing feature branch:** ```bash cd deploy git checkout ohpr-- # In .github/workflows/deploy.yaml, update BOTH: # OPENHANDS_SHA: "" # OPENHANDS_RUNTIME_IMAGE_TAG: "-nikolaik" git commit -am "Update OPENHANDS_SHA to " && git push ``` **Before updating the SHA**, verify the enterprise Docker image exists: ```bash gh api repos/OpenHands/OpenHands/actions/runs \ --jq '.workflow_runs[] | select(.head_sha=="") | "\(.name): \(.conclusion)"' \ | grep Docker # Must show: "Docker: success" ``` The deploy CI auto-triggers and creates the environment at: ``` https://ohpr--.staging.all-hands.dev ``` **Wait for it to be live:** ```bash curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://ohpr--.staging.all-hands.dev/api/v1/health # 401 = server is up (auth required). DNS may take 1-2 min on first deploy. ``` ## Running E2E Tests Against Staging **Critical: Feature deployments have their own Keycloak instance.** API keys from `app.all-hands.dev` or `$OPENHANDS_API_KEY` will NOT work. You need a test API key issued by the specific feature deployment's Keycloak. **You (the agent) cannot obtain this key yourself** — the feature environment requires interactive browser login with credentials you do not have. You must **ask the user** to: 1. Log in to the feature deployment at `https://ohpr--.staging.all-hands.dev` in their browser 2. Generate a test API key from the UI 3. Provide the key to you so you can proceed with e2e testing Do **not** attempt to log in via the browser or guess credentials. Wait for the user to supply the key before running any e2e tests. ```python from openhands.workspace import OpenHandsCloudWorkspace STAGING = "https://ohpr--.staging.all-hands.dev" with OpenHandsCloudWorkspace( cloud_api_url=STAGING, cloud_api_key="", ) as workspace: # Test the new feature llm = workspace.get_llm() secrets = workspace.get_secrets() print(f"LLM: {llm.model}, secrets: {list(secrets.keys())}") ``` Or run an example script: ```bash OPENHANDS_CLOUD_API_KEY="" \ OPENHANDS_CLOUD_API_URL="https://ohpr--.staging.all-hands.dev" \ python examples/02_remote_agent_server/10_cloud_workspace_saas_credentials.py ``` ### Recording results Both repos support a `.pr/` directory for temporary PR artifacts (design docs, test logs, scripts). These files are automatically removed when the PR is approved — see `.github/workflows/pr-artifacts.yml` and the "PR-Specific Artifacts" section in each repo's `AGENTS.md`. Push test output to the `.pr/logs/` directory of whichever repo you're working in: ```bash mkdir -p .pr/logs python test_script.py 2>&1 | tee .pr/logs/.log git add -f .pr/logs/ git commit -m "docs: add e2e test results" && git push ``` Comment on **both PRs** with pass/fail summary and link to logs. ## Key Gotchas | Gotcha | Details | |--------|---------| | **Feature env auth is isolated** | Each `ohpr-*` deployment has its own Keycloak. Production API keys don't work. Agents cannot log in — you must ask the user to provide a test API key from the feature deployment's UI. | | **Two SHAs in deploy.yaml** | `OPENHANDS_SHA` and `OPENHANDS_RUNTIME_IMAGE_TAG` must both be updated. The runtime tag is `-nikolaik`. | | **Enterprise image must exist** | The Docker CI job on the OpenHands PR must succeed before you can deploy. If it hasn't run, push an empty commit to trigger it. | | **DNS propagation** | First deployment of a new branch takes 1-2 min for DNS. Subsequent deploys are instant. | | **Merge-commit SHA ≠ head SHA** | SDK CI tags Docker images with GitHub Actions' merge-commit SHA, not the PR head SHA. Check the SDK PR description or CI logs for the correct tag. | | **SDK pin blocks merge** | `check-package-versions.yml` prevents merging an OpenHands PR that has `rev` fields in `[tool.poetry.dependencies]`. The SDK must be released to PyPI first. | | **Flow A: stock agent-server is fine** | When only the Cloud API changes, `OpenHandsCloudWorkspace` talks to the Cloud server, not the agent-server. No custom image needed. | | **Flow B: agent-server image is required** | When the server needs new SDK code inside runtime containers, you must pin to the SDK PR's agent-server image. |
