🛠️ Troubleshooting — Early Repo CLI (early generate-for-project)

This guide covers problems specific to the Early project CLI used in repo-level test generation. It complements the shared troubleshooting guide → which includes solutions for tokens, memory, Jest, and commit errors.

❌ No Test Files Generated​

This can happen for several different reasons, ranging from configuration or permissions issues to already-covered code.

Please go through the checklist step by step in 👉 Why No Tests Were Generated

That guide explains every possible cause — including missing CLI installation, coverage command failures, validation errors, SCM permissions, and more — along with how to fix each one.

🔑 API Key Missing or Invalid​

See API Key Missing →

🔐 Token Invalid or SCM Commit Fails​

See Token Missing or Insufficient Permissions →

🐍 py-agent Not Found (Python)​

If you see an error like py-agent is not installed, install it with:

pip install py-agent

The py-agent package is required in addition to the @earlyai/cli npm package when generating tests for Python projects.

💥 Out of Memory or Crashes​

Note: This section applies to JavaScript/TypeScript projects only.

🛑 Git Commit Fails​

Note: Auto-commit is currently supported for JavaScript/TypeScript projects only. Python support for auto-commit is coming soon.

Ensure:

  • GIT_USER_NAME and GIT_USER_EMAIL are set
  • You're not using a shallow checkout
