Testing Guide

Comprehensive testing procedures to verify RemoveSamples functionality across different platforms and scenarios.

🎯 Overview

Testing RemoveSamples ensures it works correctly in your environment before processing real downloads. This guide provides platform-specific testing procedures that create controlled test scenarios to verify detection logic, file removal, and system compatibility.

Why test RemoveSamples?

• ✅ Verify functionality before trusting with important downloads
• ✅ Understand detection behavior for your content types
• ✅ Troubleshoot configuration issues safely
• ✅ Validate platform compatibility (Docker, Unraid, etc.)
• ✅ Build confidence in the extension's safety

🚀 Quick Test (All Platforms)

Prerequisites

• RemoveSamples installed and configured
• Access to NZBGet scripts directory
• Basic command line knowledge
• 10 minutes of time

Universal Test Steps

1. Create test directory:

# Navigate to a safe location (NOT in active downloads)
cd /tmp
mkdir -p RemoveSamples-Test
cd RemoveSamples-Test

2. Create test files:

# Legitimate files (should be preserved)
echo "large movie content" > Movie.2023.1080p.mkv
echo "soundtrack content" > soundtrack.mp3

# Sample files (should be removed)
echo "sample content" > Movie.2023.sample.mkv
echo "sample audio" > 30sec_sample.mp3

# Sample directory (should be removed)
mkdir samples
echo "sample clip" > samples/preview.mkv

3. Set permissions (if needed):

chmod 644 *.mkv *.mp3
chmod -R 755 samples/

4. Run manual test:

# Set environment variables
export NZBPP_DIRECTORY="$(pwd)"
export NZBPP_STATUS="SUCCESS"
export NZBPP_NZBNAME="RemoveSamples-Test"
export NZBPO_REMOVEDIRECTORIES="Yes"
export NZBPO_REMOVEFILES="Yes"
export NZBPO_DEBUG="Yes"
export NZBPO_VIDEOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="150"
export NZBPO_AUDIOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="2"
export NZBPO_VIDEOEXTS=".mkv,.mp4,.avi"
export NZBPO_AUDIOEXTS=".mp3,.flac,.aac"

# Run RemoveSamples (adjust path as needed)
python3 /path/to/nzbget/scripts/RemoveSamples/main.py

5. Check results:

ls -la
# Should show: Movie.2023.1080p.mkv and soundtrack.mp3
# Should NOT show: sample files or samples/ directory

6. Cleanup:

cd .. && rm -rf RemoveSamples-Test

🐧 Linux Testing

🔍 Advanced Testing Scenarios

Scenario 1: Edge Cases Testing

# Create files with tricky names
echo "content" > "Movie.Sample.Title.2023.mkv"      # "Sample" in title
echo "content" > "resample.mkv"                      # Contains "sample" but different word
echo "content" > "sampling_rate.wav"                 # Contains "sample" but different context
echo "content" > "SAMPLE.mkv"                        # All caps
echo "content" > "файл.sample.mkv"                   # Unicode characters
echo "content" > "movie with spaces.sample.mkv"      # Spaces in filename

Scenario 2: Size Threshold Testing

# Test files around thresholds
dd if=/dev/zero of="exactly_150MB.mkv" bs=1M count=150    # Exactly at threshold
dd if=/dev/zero of="just_over_150MB.mkv" bs=1M count=151  # Just over
dd if=/dev/zero of="just_under_150MB.mkv" bs=1M count=149 # Just under

Scenario 3: Directory Structure Testing

# Complex directory structures
mkdir -p "Movie.2023/Bonus/samples"                      # Nested samples
mkdir -p "Movie.2023/SAMPLE_FOOTAGE"                     # Sample in directory name
mkdir -p "Movie.2023/Behind_The_Scenes"                  # Legitimate directory
mkdir -p "Movie.2023/samples/more_samples"               # Deeply nested samples

Scenario 4: Mixed Content Testing

# Directory with mixed content
mkdir mixed_content
echo "legitimate" > mixed_content/movie.mkv
echo "sample" > mixed_content/sample.mkv
echo "more legitimate" > mixed_content/behind_scenes.mkv

Scenario 5: Permission Testing

# Test with different permissions
echo "content" > readonly_sample.mkv
chmod 444 readonly_sample.mkv                            # Read-only file

mkdir readonly_samples
echo "content" > readonly_samples/clip.mkv
chmod -R 555 readonly_samples                            # Read-only directory

📊 Understanding Test Results

Expected Behavior Matrix

File Type	Pattern Match	Size Check	Expected Result
Video with "sample" pattern	✅ Yes	Any size	REMOVED
Video without pattern	❌ No	Below threshold	PRESERVED
Video without pattern	❌ No	Above threshold	PRESERVED
Audio with "sample" pattern	✅ Yes	Any size	REMOVED
Audio without pattern	❌ No	Below threshold	PRESERVED
Directory with "sample" pattern	✅ Yes	N/A	REMOVED
Directory without pattern	❌ No	N/A	PRESERVED

Debug Output Interpretation

[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Checking file: movie.sample.mkv
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Pattern match: 'sample' found with word boundary
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: File extension: .mkv is video file
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Size check: 45MB < 150MB threshold
[INFO] RemoveSamples: Removing sample file: movie.sample.mkv

What this means:

• ✅ Pattern detected: File contains "sample" pattern
• ✅ Video file confirmed: Extension matches video list
• ✅ Below threshold: File size under limit
• ✅ Action taken: File removed

Common Test Results

✅ Successful test indicators:

• Sample files and directories removed
• Legitimate content preserved
• Debug logs show correct detection logic
• No errors in execution

❌ Issues to investigate:

• Legitimate files removed (thresholds too high)
• Sample files not removed (patterns not matching)
• Permission errors during removal
• Python execution errors

🏆 Test Success Criteria

Minimum Passing Requirements

For a test to be considered successful, the following must be true:

✅ File Preservation (Critical):

• Large legitimate files remain untouched
• Files without sample patterns above size threshold preserved
• Normal directories without sample patterns preserved

✅ Sample Detection (Critical):

• Files with "sample" pattern removed regardless of size
• Directories with "sample" patterns completely removed
• Files below size threshold (without pattern) preserved (size alone doesn't trigger removal)

✅ System Stability (Critical):

• No Python errors during execution
• No permission errors that prevent operation
• Extension completes successfully (exit code 93)

Advanced Success Indicators

✅ Edge Case Handling:

• Unicode filenames processed correctly
• Files with spaces in names handled properly
• Case-insensitive pattern matching works
• Word boundary detection prevents false positives

✅ Performance:

• Test completes in reasonable time (< 30 seconds for standard test)
• Memory usage remains stable
• No file corruption or data loss

📖 Interpreting Test Logs

Debug Log Analysis

When debug mode is enabled, look for these log patterns:

Successful Pattern Detection:

[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Checking file: movie.sample.mkv
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Pattern check: 'sample' found with word boundary
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Extension check: .mkv is video file
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Size check: 45MB < 150MB threshold
[INFO] RemoveSamples: Removing sample file: movie.sample.mkv

Successful Preservation:

[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Checking file: movie.1080p.mkv
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Pattern check: no sample pattern found
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Size check: 8500MB > 150MB threshold
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Decision: PRESERVE (no pattern + above threshold)

Directory Processing:

[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Checking directory: samples/
[DEBUG] RemoveSamples: Directory pattern match: 'samples' matches sample pattern
[INFO] RemoveSamples: Removing sample directory: samples/ (2 files)

Error Log Analysis

Permission Issues:

[ERROR] RemoveSamples: Permission denied: /path/to/file
[ERROR] RemoveSamples: Cannot remove directory: Permission denied

Solution: Check file/directory permissions and ownership

Python Issues:

[ERROR] RemoveSamples: Python interpreter not found
[ERROR] RemoveSamples: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'json'

Solution: Verify Python installation and version

🔧 Customizing Tests for Your Environment

Adjusting Test File Sizes

# For systems with different thresholds
# If your video threshold is 300MB:
dd if=/dev/zero of="large_movie.mkv" bs=1M count=400    # Above threshold
dd if=/dev/zero of="sample_video.mkv" bs=1M count=250   # Below threshold

# If your audio threshold is 10MB:
dd if=/dev/zero of="full_song.mp3" bs=1M count=12       # Above threshold
dd if=/dev/zero of="sample_audio.mp3" bs=1M count=8     # Below threshold

Testing Custom Extensions

# If you've added custom video extensions
export NZBPO_VIDEOEXTS=".mkv,.mp4,.avi,.webm,.ts,.m2ts"

# If you've added custom audio extensions
export NZBPO_AUDIOEXTS=".mp3,.flac,.aac,.dts,.ac3"

Testing Different Configurations

# Conservative configuration test
export NZBPO_VIDEOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="500"
export NZBPO_AUDIOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="10"

# Aggressive configuration test
export NZBPO_VIDEOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="50"
export NZBPO_AUDIOSIZETHRESHOLDMB="1"

# Files-only test
export NZBPO_REMOVEDIRECTORIES="No"
export NZBPO_REMOVEFILES="Yes"

# Directories-only test
export NZBPO_REMOVEDIRECTORIES="Yes"
export NZBPO_REMOVEFILES="No"
