Description

As identified in PR #32 review, we should add comprehensive edge case testing for OAuth2 flows including token expiration scenarios, concurrent flows, and clock skew.

Test Scenarios to Add

1. Token Expiration Edge Cases

def test_token_expires_exactly_at_buffer():
    '''Test behavior when token expires exactly at buffer time'''
    
def test_token_already_expired():
    '''Test handling of already expired tokens'''
    
def test_token_without_expiry():
    '''Test tokens that don't include expiry time'''
    
def test_very_short_lived_token():
    '''Test tokens with < 60 second lifetime'''

2. Concurrent OAuth2 Flows

async def test_multiple_concurrent_auth_flows():
    '''Test multiple users authenticating simultaneously'''
    
async def test_concurrent_token_refresh():
    '''Test race condition during token refresh'''
    
def test_state_parameter_uniqueness():
    '''Ensure state parameters are unique across flows'''

3. Clock Skew Scenarios

def test_server_clock_ahead():
    '''Test when server clock is ahead of client'''
    
def test_server_clock_behind():
    '''Test when server clock is behind client'''
    
def test_timezone_handling():
    '''Test token expiry across timezones'''

4. Error Recovery

def test_network_failure_during_token_exchange():
    '''Test handling of network errors'''
    
def test_invalid_callback_data():
    '''Test malformed callback parameters'''
    
def test_csrf_attack_prevention():
    '''Test state parameter validation'''

5. Callback Server Edge Cases

def test_port_already_in_use():
    '''Test when callback port is occupied'''
    
def test_callback_timeout():
    '''Test when user doesn't complete auth'''
    
def test_multiple_callbacks():
    '''Test handling of duplicate callbacks'''

Implementation Tools

  • pytest-asyncio for async test support
  • freezegun for time manipulation
  • pytest-timeout for timeout testing
  • Mock OAuth2 server for controlled testing

Test Data Requirements

  • Various token lifetime scenarios
  • Different error responses
  • Edge case timestamps

Success Criteria

  • 100% code coverage for OAuth2 module
  • All edge cases documented and tested
  • Clear error messages for each failure mode
