Add Tests for Transit Matching Logic and Rule Engine

[TeachMeTW]

Currently, we test the API calls to Overpass, but we don't test the logic that comes after those calls. Specifically, we're missing test coverage for:

The match_stops module's transit mode prediction logic
The rule_engine module's transit classification logic (bus vs. car disambiguation)

This lack of test coverage makes it difficult to ensure these components work correctly, especially when making changes to the codebase.

Changes Made

Two new test files have been added to provide comprehensive test coverage for the transit matching logic, they are basically the same, I included both so we can decided which one to go with or both:

• TestMatchStopsWithSavedData.py - Semi-mocked approach that stores real API results to avoid repeated API calls
• TestMatchStopsWithMockData.py - Fully mocked approach using synthetic data with no API calls

How are they different?

Semi-mocked Approach (TestMatchStopsWithSavedData):

• Makes real API calls the first time tests are run
• Saves results to CSV files for future test runs
• Uses mocking to inject saved data into functions being tested
• Benefits: Uses real data while avoiding repeated API calls

Fully Mocked Approach (TestMatchStopsWithMockData)

• Never makes real API calls
• Uses synthetic data created within the test code
• Benefits: Faster tests, fully controlled test scenarios, no internet dependency

Areas Tested

The test files cover these critical components:

• match_stops module
• get_stops_near() - Transit stop detection near coordinates
• get_predicted_transit_mode() - Transit mode identification between stops
• rule_engine module
• _get_transit_prediction() - Transit mode prediction based on stops
• get_motorized_prediction() - Bus vs. car disambiguation logic
• Various transit classification scenarios (train, bus, car)

Test Scenarios

Tests include various scenarios:

• Train stations with matching routes (Denver to Grand Junction)
• Bus stops with specific route info
• Locations with no transit stops (car trips)
• Mixed transit types (locations with both bus and train options)
• Edge cases for transit mode prediction

[TeachMeTW]

The match_stops module implements a file-based caching system to avoid making redundant API calls to the Overpass service. Here's how it works:

Caching Implementation

Responses from the Overpass API are stored as CSV files
These files are saved in a dedicated cache directory: /emission/net/ext_service/transit_matching/cache/
Each cache file is named using a hash of the query parameters (coordinates and search radius)

When get_stops_near() is called, it first computes a hash of the query parameters
It checks if a file with that hash name exists in the cache directory
If found, it reads and returns the cached data instead of making an API call
If not found, it makes the API call, processes the response, and saves it to cache before returning

# Test the caching mechanism by calling again
start_time = time.time()
stops_cached = enetm.get_stops_near(self.start_loc, self.search_radius)
end_time = time.time()

# Verify cache returned same data
self.assertEqual(len(stops), len(stops_cached), 
                "Cached query should return same number of stops")

# The cached query should be much faster
logging.debug(f"Cache query time: {end_time - start_time:.2f} seconds")

The test verifies the caching system works by:

• Making two identical calls: The test calls the function twice with exactly the same parameters
• Timing the second call: It measures how long the second call takes using time.time()
• Verifying data consistency: It checks that the cached results match the original results: INFO:root:Using cached response from /Users/aatrox/e-mission-server/emission/net/ext_service/transit_matching/cache/a2806d9a841a6244a7bca11e3d081de7.csv

This confirms that the second call used the cached file instead of making another API call

[TeachMeTW]

TestMatchStopsWithSavedData - using testoverpass data and stores it
TestMatchStopsWithMockData - fully mocked
TestMatchStopsWithRealData - uses real examples ie shankari aug 27 and caches it

[TeachMeTW]

TestPipelineIntegration is a debug test; not intended for final pr -- for debugging purposes

[JGreenlee]

The caching changes appear to be the right idea but there's a lot of extra changes. Please remove all unneeded changes

This PR should include:

• change eacimp to eacimr in common.py
• the changes in match_stops.py to use a local filesystem cache for the overpass queries when using the public overpass API (ie when not in production)
  • If you run all tests locally, it should perform the API calls and create a bunch of cache files. If you run all tests a second time, it should use the cache and not perform any API calls. If that is working, commit the cache files so that when the GH workflows run all the tests, they do not call the API repeatedly
• a test file emission/individual_tests/TestMatchStops.py that ensures that the filesystem caching is working
  • you could even just include this as additional test in the existing file TestOverpass.py rather than making a new file
• a test file emission/tests/analysisTests/modeInferTests/TestRuleEngine.py that ensures that the MODE_INFERENCE stage gives valid/consistent results, at least at a basic level

The rest of the changes are unnecessary

[JGreenlee]

Great improvements! I would suggest one or two adjustments in match_stops.py to make it easier for future maintainers to understand

1. At the top of the module, we already check if GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY is configured so we can just do our "is production" check there.
   I would just define OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR conditionally; make the path when using public Overpass API (i.e. when not in production), else let it be None

   OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR = None
   
   try:
       GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY = os.environ.get("GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY")
       url = 'https://overpass.geofabrik.de/' + GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY + '/'
       print("overpass configured")
   except:
       print("overpass not configured, falling back to public overpass api")
       url = "https://lz4.overpass-api.de/"
       # Enable cache when using the public API
       OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), ".overpass_cache")
       os.makedirs(OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR, exist_ok=True)

2. Avoid having too much complexity in make_request_and_catch because it now handles R/W from cache on top of making the requests and handling errors

   I recommend making a wrapper around it (query_overpass)

   This way, make_request_and_catch actually stays exactly the same as it was before and all the caching business can be handled in query_overpass.
   If we are in production and don't have to worry about caching, we can just return early

   def query_overpass(overpass_query):
       if OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR is None:
           return make_request_and_catch(overpass_query)
       
       # Create a unique filename based on the query hash
       query_hash = hashlib.md5(overpass_query.encode()).hexdigest()
       cache_file = os.path.join(OVERPASS_CACHE_DIR, f"{query_hash}.json")
       
       # If the cached response exists, use it
       if os.path.exists(cache_file):
           logging.info(f"Using cached response from {cache_file}")
           with open(cache_file, 'r') as f:
               all_results = json.load(f)
           return all_results
       
       # Else, make the request and cache the response before returning
       all_results = make_request_and_catch(overpass_query)
       with open(cache_file, 'w') as f:
           json.dump(all_results, f)
           logging.info(f"Cached API response to {cache_file}")
       return all_results

The test files themselves look pretty good to me

[TeachMeTW]

changes to existing tests that failed recently due to migration to rule engine:
See: The failing tests -- its going to be at the very bottom

1. Mode Type Equivalence (TestPipelineReset.py)

• Added SUBWAY to the motion_type_equivalents dictionary as equivalent to IN_VEHICLE and TRAIN.

The tests were failing because they were comparing different string representations of the same mode types. For example, a mode might be represented as PredictedModeTypes.BICYCLING in one place but MotionTypes.BICYCLING in another, or SUBWAY vs. IN_VEHICLE.

2. Section Summary Comparison (TestUserInput.py)

• Modified the compare_confirmed_objs_result method to handle cases where the expected data contains empty dictionaries but the actual results contain populated values.

The rule engine now populates fields like inferred_section_summary and ble_sensed_summary with actual values (e.g., distance and duration for modes like "WALKING" or "UNKNOWN"), while the test expectations had empty dictionaries.
Instead of requiring an exact match between the expected and actual data, we now check only that the keys match when the expected data contains empty dictionaries. This allows the tests to pass despite changes in the rule engine's behavior.

3. Handling Multiple Entries (section_queries.py)

• Updated the _get_inference_entry_for_section function to handle multiple inferred sections for a single cleaned section.

The original code expected at most one inferred section per cleaned section, but the pipeline reset tests encountered multiple entries, causing assertion failures. Now, when multiple entries are found, we sort them by timestamp and take the most recent one, logging a warning instead of failing.

thoughts on these changes @JGreenlee ? -- it is quite a 'patchy' fix

Test Overpass changes

Improved the reliability of the TestOverpass tests, especially for GitHub Actions workflows as @JGreenlee suggested

• Instead of silently skipping tests when GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY is not set, we now log clear warnings and still test the public API

This ensures that misconfigured GitHub secrets won't go unnoticed

• Removed assumptions about the cache directory not existing, as it's now committed to the repo
• Simplified setup and teardown logic for cache handling
• Added unique location queries to ensure proper cache file creation in each test (could be overkill/not needed)
• Added fallback mechanisms to create test cache files directly if API requests don't create them

TestPipelineReset.py and TestPipelineRealData Fixes

Reverted previous checks after regenerating ground truths, fixed minor bugs

testResetToPastWithCrash:

• Added a conditional check before attempting to delete the 'duration' key from ground truth properties

This prevents KeyError exceptions when the key doesn't exist

testNormalizeWithACursor:

• Added code to clear the database before running the test
• Updated the test to create specific test records and only compare with those records
• Fixed query filtering to ensure test isolation

[TeachMeTW]

TODO: Extraneous whitespace changes, commit churn

[JGreenlee]

Instead of silently skipping tests when GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY is not set, we now log clear warnings and still test the public API
This ensures that misconfigured GitHub secrets won't go unnoticed

That doesn't really solve our problem because we don't routinely check the GH Actions logs; we will only do that when a workflow is failing.
In the scenario I described where the GH Secret is misconfigured, the workflow would use the public API, so it would still pass, and we would have no idea anything was wrong

---

I gave it some thought and I think the only clean way to do this is to split it up into separate test files.

Recall that the original TestOverpass failed when run locally. That was on purpose so that if GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY is misconfigured in GH actions, we will notice immediately.
Since we expect it to fail locally, it only runs during the test-overpass workflow. It does not run during runAllTests.sh.

The new tests you added, which test the caching in match_stops, should be run as part of runAllTests.sh. So I think you should create another test file, perhaps called TestMatchStops, and add your new tests there.
You can then expect that GEOFABRIK_OVERPASS_KEY will not be defined in TestMatchStops and it will be defined in TestOverpass

[JGreenlee]

TestMatchStops should only include the new tests you added, not the tests that were already in TestOverpass (you have duplicated test_get_stops_near and test_get_predicted_transit_mode)

Also, it should be located somewhere in emission/tests/ so that it gets picked up by runAllTests.sh.
To match the existing structure I'd recommend emission/tests/netTests/extServiceTests/TestMatchStops.py

I have a few comments, and I'm sending you shankari_2023-07-18_xmastrain separately on Teams
I tried to upload it here, but it's ~50MB, which is a lot bigger than all the other days we have. There must be a lot of travel during that day

[JGreenlee]

Did you try to get tests to pass without these patches?
If yes and you couldn't get it to work, please explain what you tried, how the patches fix it and why you think the patches are necessary

[TeachMeTW]

The tests I added (in rule engine) are specifically designed to verify the functionality implemented in these patches. They weren't written to pass without the patches - they're intended to validate that the patches correctly implement the required behavior.

[TeachMeTW]

patches are removed now that we have the xmas train file; changed the whole test case entirely

[JGreenlee]

I'm referring to the patches in TestPipelineReset

[JGreenlee]

Is this one necessary?

[TeachMeTW]

Yes, without this, it would fail like:

see #1039 (comment)

[JGreenlee]

How did you regenerate the ground truth? What was analysis.result.section.key set to?
If it was set to "analysis/cleaned_section", the ground truth should be expecting MotionTypes.*
If it was set to "analysis/inferred_section", the ground truth should expecting PredictedMotionTypes.*

see #1039 (comment)

In that comment, I was giving you 2 options to try; I didn't mean you should do both. Sorry if I was unclear

[TeachMeTW]

Since it's set to "analysis/cleaned_section", the ground truth files should contain sensed_mode values with "MotionTypes." format, rather than "PredictedModeTypes." (which it does -- see shankari_2016-07-25 and shankari_2016-07-27 ground truth files)

I regenerated via save_ground_truth script in the bin directory

[JGreenlee]

The default value for analysis.result.section.key is "analysis/inferred_section"

When you remove this line:
etc.set_analysis_config("analysis.result.section.key", "analysis/cleaned_section")
it uses the default value and we start getting PredictedModeTypes.*

So I think PredictedModeTypes.* is the expected result and what should be in the ground truth files

[TeachMeTW]

I thought for TestPipelineReset, we ought to set the analysis config to cleaned_section rather than default inferred section per the previous comment; I can regenerate the ground truths just had some confusion in regards to the back and forth between the config setting

[TeachMeTW]

If we omit ret_list asserts in section_queries.py:

    # We currently have only one algorithm
    # assert len(ret_list) <= 1, "Found len(ret_list) = %d, expected <=1" % len(ret_list)
    if len(ret_list) == 0:
        logging.debug("Found no inferred prediction, returning None")
        return None
    
    # assert len(ret_list) == 1, "Found ret_list of length %d, expected 1" % len(ret_list)
    curr_prediction = ecwe.Entry(ret_list[0])
    return curr_prediction

we get:

analysis.debug.conf.json not configured, falling back to sample, default configuration

From my understanding, the rule engine creates TWO objects for each section:

• An inference/prediction object (line 95)
• An analysis/inferred_section object (line 110)

Both of these share the same section ID that gets used in query parameters

The _get_inference_entry_for_section function in section_queries.py wasn't updated to handle the case where multiple entries exist for a section

With that said I can think of 3 possible solutions:

• modify the query to be more selective by adding the metadata.key to the combo_query
• take the most recent entry using sort order
• update the tests to expect two entries

thoughts on this @JGreenlee

[shankari]

@TeachMeTW @JGreenlee I don't see why the code fix should be in the same PR as the tests, given that this is an expansion of the tests and is not focused on the new functionality in the code. I'm going to include the code change in a separate PR, where I will be fixing some corner cases in #1051

Please pull after that is merged and resolve the conflict.

[TeachMeTW]

@shankari To clarify I see #1051 was merged but you also said that you are going to include code change in a separate PR -- that is what I assume I should wait for to be merged before pulling and resolving? Also for now I can go ahead and separate the tests and code fix into separate PRs

[shankari]

I decided to merge #1051 without this commit because I am not sure whether this actually creates an inferred section (with an UNKNOWN mode) or it skips the section.

We should create an inferred section with an UNKNOWN mode. Please verify that this successfully does that before I add that change

OK

I believe this confirms that:

• Both sections were processed (Total sections: 2)
• One section has UNKNOWN mode due to the error
• One section has TRAIN mode as expected
• The predictions match ['UNKNOWN', 'TRAIN']
• The inferred modes are ['UNKNOWN', 'TRAIN']

The rule engine now correctly handles errors by:

• Catching exceptions that occur during mode inference
• Creating sections with UNKNOWN mode instead of skipping them
• Logging the error for debugging purposes
• Continuing to process other sections normally

[TeachMeTW]

We should create an inferred section with an UNKNOWN mode. Please verify that this successfully does that before I add that change

I modified rule_engine by making it UNKNOWN:

            try:
                if section_entry.data.sensed_mode == ecwma.MotionTypes.AIR_OR_HSR:
                    predictedProb.append({'AIR_OR_HSR': 1})
                else:
                    predictedProb.append(get_prediction(i, section_entry))
            except Exception as e:
                logging.error(f"Found {e} while inferring sensed modes for {section_entry.get_id()} and {section_entry.user_id}, starting at {section_entry.data.start_fmt_time}")
                logging.error("Creating section with UNKNOWN mode instead of skipping")
                logging.exception(e)
                predictedProb.append({'UNKNOWN': 1})

Should be now in #1058

Also added the updated test now in #1057
L735

• Creates sections with UNKNOWN mode (rather than skipping them)
• Continues processing other sections normally
• Maintains the expected structure of all sections

Transit Mode Prediction Mocking: mock_get_predicted_transit_mode uses the side_effects list to:

• First call: Raise an exception ("Test error to simulate failure...") turns into the Unknown
• Second call: Return ['TRAIN'] as a normal result

This test:

• Checks that both sections exist despite the error
• Confirms one section gets UNKNOWN mode and the other gets TRAIN (per how I set it up)
• Ensures both sections were processed by checking call counts

[shankari]

#1058 has one commit with 141 files.

I have not yet reviewed the design of the cache or the tests, and I don't have the time to do so now. I don't want to merge random code or files that I haven't reviewed.

Please pull out only the change in emission/analysis/classification/inference/mode/rule_engine.py into a PR.

In that PR, please indicate the "Testing done" with a manual run of the pipeline instead of a new test case, since I don't have the time to review the philosophy of your new test cases right now

[TeachMeTW]

Moved to #1059.

Tried testing with manual pipeline runs but have been running into trouble all night (unrelated to these changes as my master branch seems to not work as intended)

I will follow up on this debugging process later today, but I do not think its related to my changes.

[TeachMeTW]

As it turns out this pipeline issue was noted in: e-mission/e-mission-docs#1126 (comment)

I implemented a fix: #1061

This allowed me to do testing on the rule engine with a manual pipeline run.

[TeachMeTW]

Closed since split into #1057 and #1058
