fix(test): replace realistic API key values with obviously-fake patterns by dknos · Pull Request #1482 · NVIDIA/NemoClaw

dknos · 2026-04-05T00:22:42Z

Summary

Replaces realistic-looking API key values in test fixtures with obviously-fake patterns
Prevents false positives from secret scanners (e.g., nvapi-secret-value → nvapi-TEST-NOT-A-REAL-KEY-000000)

Test plan

Run npm test to verify all tests still pass with new values
Verify no secret scanner alerts on the updated files

Fixes #1440

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Standardized and replaced dummy credential/token values across the test suite with new non‑real placeholder strings.
- Updated related assertions, snapshots, and redaction expectations to match the new placeholders.
- Applied changes across onboarding, migration, runner, validation, debug, credential persistence, and smoke tests to ensure consistent test behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Test credential literals in many test files were replaced with clearly-marked placeholder tokens (e.g., TEST-NOT-A-REAL-*, nvapi-TEST-*, sk-TEST-*). No assertion logic, control flow, or exported/public declarations were changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Blueprint & Migration Tests `nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner.test.ts`, `nemoclaw/src/commands/migration-state.test.ts`	Replaced hardcoded credential/test key values in tests and snapshot expectations with standardized placeholder tokens (`TEST-NOT-A-REAL-*`).
Library Unit Tests `src/lib/debug.test.ts`, `src/lib/onboard-session.test.ts`, `src/lib/validation.test.ts`	Updated test inputs and expected assertions for NVIDIA/OpenAI key handling to use `nvapi-TEST-` / `sk-TEST-` style placeholders; test logic unchanged.
Integration / Onboarding Tests `test/credentials.test.js`, `test/onboard-selection.test.js`, `test/onboard.test.js`	Replaced realistic-looking API key strings across env stubs, mocked responses, and assertions with clearly-fake placeholders for Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA flows.
Runner & Smoke Tests `test/runner.test.js`, `test/smoke-macos-install.test.js`	Updated redaction fixtures, mocked subprocess envs, and expected redacted outputs to use new placeholder tokens instead of previous realistic-looking secrets.

Poem

🐇 I hopped through tests with tiny feet,
I swapped the keys so none look neat.
"TEST-NOT-A-REAL" I stitched with care,
No more false flags here and there.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The PR title 'fix(test): replace realistic API key values with obviously-fake patterns' clearly and specifically describes the main change—replacing realistic test credential values with obviously-fake ones to prevent secret scanner false positives.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR fully addresses issue `#1440`'s requirement to replace realistic-looking API key values (nvapi-, sk-, sk-ant- prefixes) with obviously-fake patterns across all affected test files.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are strictly limited to test files, replacing hardcoded dummy credential values with new fake patterns. No functional code, logic, or exported public entities were modified.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

In `@test/onboard-selection.test.js`:
- Around line 1813-1816: The curl stub currently only treats
'nvapi-TEST-GOOD-NOT-REAL-000000' as a valid token while the test retries using
'nvapi-good' and asserts payload.key contains that value; update the stub so the
auth check matches the retry token. Concretely, modify the conditional that
tests the auth variable (the grep against 'nvapi-TEST-GOOD-NOT-REAL-000000') to
also accept 'nvapi-good' (or match a common prefix like 'nvapi-good') so the
branch that returns a 200 and body='{"id":"resp_123"}' will run for the retry
token; ensure consistency with the test assertion that inspects payload.key and
keep the url checks for '/responses$' and '/chat/completions$' unchanged.

✨ Thanks for submitting this fix, which proposes a way to replace realistic-looking API key values in test files with obviously fake ones to avoid credential leakage alerts.

✅ Ready to merge. All checks pass, CodeRabbit found no issues. This secures test fixtures against credential scanner false positives — fixes #1440.

Test fixtures used values like nvapi-secret-value and sk-bad that trigger secret scanners. Replaced with clearly-marked test values. Fixes NVIDIA#1440 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: dknos <rneebo@gmail.com>

Thanks for this fix — replacing realistic-looking API key patterns in tests with obviously-fake values is good hygiene and worth having. The codebase has changed significantly since this was opened, including a TypeScript migration (#1673) that moved most logic from bin/nemoclaw.js into src/lib/. Could you rebase onto the current main? Also note that you have two related open PRs (#1485, #1487) — a joint rebase across all three would be ideal. We really appreciate the dedication and the thoughtful set of contributions here.

dknos · 2026-04-16T07:49:56Z

Thanks for the thoughtful review @wscurran. Going to step back on this one — the TypeScript migration has moved the test layout enough that a clean rebase would effectively be rewriting the patch, and the underlying hygiene point is minor. Please feel free to pull any of the fake-key patterns into future tests if useful. Closing to reduce queue noise.
