# Groq CI Integration

## Overview
Set up CI/CD pipelines for Groq integrations with unit tests (mocked), integration tests (live API), and model deprecation checks. Groq's fast inference makes live integration tests practical in CI -- a completion round-trip takes < 500ms.

## Prerequisites
- GitHub repository with Actions enabled
- Groq API key stored as GitHub secret
- vitest or jest for testing

## Instructions

### Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow
```yaml
# .github/workflows/groq-tests.yml
name: Groq Integration Tests

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 6 * * 1"  # Weekly model deprecation check

jobs:
  unit-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "20"
          cache: "npm"
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test -- --coverage
        # Unit tests use mocked groq-sdk -- no API key needed

  integration-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.event_name != 'pull_request'  # Only on push to main
    env:
      GROQ_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GROQ_API_KEY }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "20"
          cache: "npm"
      - run: npm ci
      - name: Run Groq integration tests
        run: GROQ_INTEGRATION=1 npx vitest tests/groq.integration.ts --reporter=verbose
        timeout-minutes: 2

  model-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      GROQ_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GROQ_API_KEY }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Check for deprecated models
        run: |
          set -euo pipefail
          # Get current models from Groq API
          MODELS=$(curl -sf https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/models \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $GROQ_API_KEY" | jq -r '.data[].id')

          # Check our code references valid models
          USED=$(grep -roh "model.*['\"].*['\"]" src/ --include="*.ts" | \
            grep -oP "(?<=['\"])[\w./-]+(?=['\"])" | sort -u)

          echo "=== Models in our code ==="
          echo "$USED"
          echo ""
          echo "=== Available on Groq ==="
          echo "$MODELS"

          # Flag any model in our code that's not in the API response
          MISSING=""
          while IFS= read -r model; do
            if ! echo "$MODELS" | grep -qF "$model"; then
              MISSING="$MISSING\n  - $model"
            fi
          done <<< "$USED"

          if [ -n "$MISSING" ]; then
            echo "WARNING: These models in code are not available on Groq:$MISSING"
            exit 1
          fi
          echo "All models valid."
```

### Step 2: Configure Secrets
```bash
# Store Groq API key as GitHub secret
gh secret set GROQ_API_KEY --body "gsk_your_ci_key_here"

# Use a separate key for CI (easier to rotate, track usage)
```

### Step 3: Integration Test Suite
```typescript
// tests/groq.integration.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import Groq from "groq-sdk";

const shouldRun = !!process.env.GROQ_INTEGRATION;

describe.skipIf(!shouldRun)("Groq API Integration", () => {
  const groq = new Groq();

  it("lists available models", async () => {
    const models = await groq.models.list();
    expect(models.data.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);

    const ids = models.data.map((m) => m.id);
    expect(ids).toContain("llama-3.1-8b-instant");
    expect(ids).toContain("llama-3.3-70b-versatile");
  }, 10_000);

  it("completes a chat request with 8B model", async () => {
    const result = await groq.chat.completions.create({
      model: "llama-3.1-8b-instant",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Reply with exactly one word: PONG" }],
      temperature: 0,
      max_tokens: 10,
    });

    expect(result.choices[0].message.content).toContain("PONG");
    expect(result.usage?.total_tokens).toBeGreaterThan(0);
  }, 10_000);

  it("streams a response", async () => {
    const stream = await groq.chat.completions.create({
      model: "llama-3.1-8b-instant",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Count from 1 to 5." }],
      stream: true,
      max_tokens: 50,
    });

    let content = "";
    for await (const chunk of stream) {
      content += chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || "";
    }

    expect(content).toContain("1");
    expect(content).toContain("5");
  }, 10_000);

  it("returns JSON mode output", async () => {
    const result = await groq.chat.completions.create({
      model: "llama-3.1-8b-instant",
      messages: [
        { role: "system", content: "Respond with JSON: {\"status\": \"ok\"}" },
        { role: "user", content: "Health check" },
      ],
      response_format: { type: "json_object" },
      temperature: 0,
      max_tokens: 50,
    });

    const parsed = JSON.parse(result.choices[0].message.content!);
    expect(parsed).toHaveProperty("status");
  }, 10_000);
});
```

### Step 4: Release Workflow
```yaml
# .github/workflows/release.yml
on:
  push:
    tags: ["v*"]

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      GROQ_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GROQ_API_KEY_PROD }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "20"
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test
      - name: Verify Groq API in production
        run: GROQ_INTEGRATION=1 npx vitest tests/groq.integration.ts
      - run: npm run build
      - run: npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
```

## CI Best Practices
- Mock `groq-sdk` in unit tests (no API key needed, no network)
- Run integration tests only on `main` push (not PRs -- saves quota)
- Use `llama-3.1-8b-instant` for CI tests (cheapest, fastest)
- Set `max_tokens` low (5-50) in CI to minimize token usage
- Add `timeout-minutes: 2` to prevent hung jobs
- Schedule weekly model deprecation checks

## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Secret not found | `GROQ_API_KEY` not configured | `gh secret set GROQ_API_KEY` |
| Integration test timeout | Network issue or rate limit | Increase timeout, add retry |
| Model check fails | Model deprecated | Update model ID in source code |
| Flaky tests | Rate limiting in CI | Add backoff, run integration tests less often |
