  • Fetch test fixtures before sandboxing so dependent tests can run without network access.
  • Include fixtures in existing test-bot source and bottle fetches so downloads can run in parallel.
  • Migrate static resource declarations with brew style --fix, leaving runtime-dependent declarations for manual migration.

  • Have you followed our Contributing guidelines?
  • Have you checked for other open Pull Requests for the same change?
  • Have you explained what your changes do? Performance claims (e.g. "this is faster") must include brew benchmark results.
  • Have you explained why you'd like these changes included, not just what they do?
  • For bug fixes, have you given step-by-step brew commands to reproduce the bug?
  • Have you written new tests (excluding integration tests)? Here's an example.
  • Have you successfully run brew lgtm (style, typechecking and tests) locally?

  • I did not use AI/LLM to create this PR, or I disclosed the tool/model below and reviewed its output; I did not attribute commits to AI and will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added brew fetch --test to download formula test resources and patches. This option cannot be used with --cask.
    • brew test now fetches test resources and patches before running tests, making them available in the sandbox. Testing workflows also fetch these resources.
    • Formula authors can declare test-only resources, which are excluded from normal installation resource handling.
  • Documentation
    • Updated formula-writing guidance and command help with instructions for declaring and fetching test resources.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds test-only formula resources, supports fetching them with brew fetch --test and before brew test runs in its sandbox, and updates test-bot fetches, resource filtering, completions, documentation, and strict-audit checks.

Changes

Test-resource fetching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource declaration and filtering
Library/Homebrew/resource.rb, Library/Homebrew/software_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/formula.rb, Library/Homebrew/dependency_collector.rb, Library/Homebrew/language/python.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/formula_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/software_spec_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/dependency_collector_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/language/python/virtualenv_spec.rb, docs/Formula-Cookbook.md
Resources can be marked as test-only. Formula resource enqueueing, dependency tags and cache keys distinguish test resources from build resources, and virtualenv installation omits test resources. Tests and the cookbook describe these changes.
Fetch and test download flow
Library/Homebrew/cmd/fetch.rb, Library/Homebrew/dev-cmd/test.rb, Library/Homebrew/sorbet/rbi/dsl/homebrew/cmd/fetch_cmd.rbi, Library/Homebrew/test/cmd/fetch_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/dev-cmd/test_spec.rb, completions/*/brew*, docs/Manpage.md, manpages/brew.1
brew fetch --test selects formulas and queues their test resources and patches. brew test fetches test resources and patches before starting its sandbox. Completions and command documentation include the option.
Test-bot fetch integration
Library/Homebrew/test_bot/formulae.rb, Library/Homebrew/test_bot/formulae_dependents.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/test_bot/formulae_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/test_bot/formulae_dependents_spec.rb
Formula test-bot fetches include --test. Dependent fetches include it when the dependent is testable; tests cover bottled and source-build paths.
Strict-audit resource checks
Library/Homebrew/rubocops/class.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/rubocops/class/test_resource_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/rubocops/class/test_spec.rb
The strict audit reports resource declarations inside formula test blocks and autocorrects supported static declarations by moving them outside the block and adding :test. Tests cover supported corrections and cases where correction is skipped.

Suggested reviewers: cho-m

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ef89d

Failed fixture downloads stop the affected test attempt, and dependent checks do not fetch unused dependency test resources. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef89d

Test fixtures now download before tests enter the sandbox. Failed downloads block testing, and ordinary resource fetching remains separate. The added network activity warrants review, but the inspected changes do not establish an introduced security vulnerability.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Formula declarations determine fixture endpoints and download strategies used by the invoking user's process or CI runner before sandboxing. The immediate exposure includes that process's network authority and shared download cache. The dependent-testing changes do not automatically request fixtures for every dependency.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Recorded prefetch failures stop the test before sandbox startup. Successful queue completion does not universally prove checksum verification: the pre-existing Downloadable contract warns rather than fails when a checksum is absent. Existing audits inspect declared resources and flag missing checksums for stable curl resources, subject to audit selection and exceptions.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The queue deduplicates downloads by cache location, so its first producer does not independently establish every consumer's checksum expectation. Ordinary Resource staging rechecks its own declared checksum before unpacking and clears mismatched content. This counterevidence prevents treating cache deduplication alone as a demonstrated fixture-integrity bypass.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider an explicit runtime integrity policy for stable test fixtures, with defined exceptions for VCS or HEAD resources, so successful prefetch has a stronger meaning than the existing warning-only missing-checksum behavior. This is hardening, not an observed PR vulnerability.

`download_queue.failed_downloads` and treat any nonempty list as a fetch
failure, returning or raising before the test sandbox starts.

Review comments at @Library/Homebrew/test_bot/formulae_dependents.rb:
- Line 434: Update fetch argument construction around fetch_args and
testable_dependents so dependency formulae in fetch_formulae are fetched without
--test, while the testable dependent alone is fetched with --test before
install_dependent tests it. Apply this separation in both bottle and
source-build paths, and update the corresponding fetch expectations in the
formulae_dependents_spec tests.

- Fetch test fixtures before sandboxing and stop if any fail so
  dependent tests can run without network access.
- Fetch each tested formula's fixtures alongside its source or bottle
  without fetching fixtures for untested dependencies.
- Offer static resource migration through a strict cop so existing
  taps keep passing ordinary style checks.
- Leave declarations using runtime values for manual migration.
