Simplify imports and add import regression testing in test module

[coderabbitai]

As discussed in PR #148 at this comment, we need to simplify the import logic in the test module and add import regression testing across the whole tests module.

Requester: @reactive-firewall

[coderabbitai]

In reference to the code in `tests/test_hear_keyboard_interrupt.py`, there's a suggestion to simplify the exception handling in imports.

Original code:

```python
except Exception as ImportErr: # pragma: no branch
ImportErr = None
del ImportErr # skipcq - cleanup any error leaks early
from . import context
```

Simplified code:

```python
except Exception: # pragma: no branch
from . import context
```

This simplifies the code by removing the assignment and immediate deletion of the `ImportErr` variable, which is unnecessary.

Referenced from PR #175 Comment.

Note: In PR #175, there is a suggestion to simplify the error handling in the import block of tests/test_exceptions.py.

The variable ImportErr is assigned but never used. This can be improved for code clarity.

For more details, please refer to the PR and the specific comment: #175 (comment)

[reactive-firewall]

@coderabbitai, considering this GHI #151 and the numerous changes made to the codebase since initially opening the GHI, please read through the current codebase and determine if there are still instances in the test where imports should be simplified still; if so, please provide all specific examples in the current codebase and generate specific simplifying refactored implementations inline with this GHI's original goals.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

Based on the code analysis and the retrieved learnings, I can identify several areas where imports can be simplified in the test module. Let me provide a detailed analysis and suggested refactoring.

@reactive-firewall, here are the areas where imports can be simplified:

1. Packaging Module Import Simplification

# Current implementation:
try:
    if 'packaging' not in sys.modules:
        import packaging
        from packaging import version
    else:  # pragma: no branch
        packaging = sys.modules["""packaging"""]
        from packaging import version
except ImportError as err:  # pragma: no branch
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] packaging.version Failed to import.") from err

# Simplified version:
try:
    from packaging import version
except ImportError as err:
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] packaging.version Failed to import.") from err

2. Standard Library Imports Consolidation

# Current scattered implementations:
try:
    if 'os' not in sys.modules:
        import os
    else:  # pragma: no branch
        os = sys.modules["""os"""]
except ImportError as err:  # pragma: no branch
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] OS Failed to import.") from err

# Similar patterns for random, string, unittest, contextlib...

# Simplified version:
try:
    import os
    import random
    import string
    import unittest
    import contextlib
    from contextlib import contextmanager
    from multiprocessing import Process
    import subprocess
except ImportError as err:
    raise ModuleNotFoundError(f"[CWE-440] Failed to import standard libraries: {err}") from err

3. Multicast Module Import Simplification

# Current implementation:
try:
    if 'multicast' not in sys.modules:
        import multicast  # pylint: disable=cyclic-import - skipcq: PYL-R0401
    else:  # pragma: no branch
        multicast = sys.modules["""multicast"""]  # pylint: disable=cyclic-import
except Exception as err:  # pragma: no branch
    raise ImportError("[CWE-440] Multicast Python Module Failed to import.") from err

try:
    if 'multicast.exceptions' not in sys.modules:
        import multicast.exceptions
    else:  # pragma: no branch
        multicast.exceptions = sys.modules["""multicast.exceptions"""]
    from multicast.exceptions import CommandExecutionError
except ImportError as err:  # pragma: no branch
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] Test Exceptions Failed to import.") from err

# Simplified version:
try:
    import multicast  # pylint: disable=cyclic-import - skipcq: PYL-R0401
    from multicast.exceptions import CommandExecutionError
except ImportError as err:
    raise ImportError("[CWE-440] Failed to import multicast module or its components") from err

4. Profiling Module Import Simplification

# Current implementation:
try:
    if 'tests.profiling' not in sys.modules:
        import tests.profiling as profiling
    else:  # pragma: no branch
        profiling = sys.modules["""tests.profiling"""]
except ImportError as err:  # pragma: no branch
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] profiling Failed to import.") from err

# Simplified version:
try:
    from tests import profiling
except ImportError as err:
    raise ModuleNotFoundError("[CWE-440] profiling Failed to import.") from err

The main simplifications include:

1. Removing redundant sys.modules checks as Python's import system already handles module caching
2. Consolidating related imports into single try-except blocks
3. Using direct imports instead of module aliasing where possible
4. Maintaining error handling and security checks while reducing code complexity

These changes align with:

• The original goal of simplifying imports as mentioned in issue Simplify imports and add import regression testing in test module #151
• The retrieved learning about planned refactoring of import statements
• Python's import system best practices
• Maintaining security and error handling requirements

Would you like me to:

1. Generate a complete refactored version of the file?
2. Open a new GitHub issue to track these specific changes?
3. Provide additional analysis of other test files for import simplification?

Please let me know how you'd like to proceed with these suggestions.

🔗 Analysis chain

I'll help analyze the codebase for import statements in test files that could be simplified. Let me gather the necessary information.

🏁 Scripts executed

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Find all Python test files
echo "=== Test Files ==="
fd -e py -t f . tests/

# Look for import statements in test files
echo -e "\n=== Import Statements in Test Files ==="
rg "^(?:from|import)\s+.*" tests/ -A 2

# Look for specific complex import patterns
echo -e "\n=== Complex Import Patterns ==="
rg "(?:try:|except|ImportError|sys\.path)" tests/ -A 3

# Check context.py specifically as it was mentioned in learnings
echo -e "\n=== Context.py Contents ==="
cat tests/context.py
