@vibe-validate/extractors

LLM-optimized error extractors for validation output.

Features

• Intelligent Error Extraction: Automatically detects tool type and applies appropriate extractor
• Token-Efficient Output: Limits errors to first 10, removes noise, focuses on actionable info
• Actionable Guidance: Provides tool-specific fixing suggestions
• Zero Dependencies: Pure TypeScript implementation

Supported Extractors

Test Frameworks

• Vitest: Dual format support (Format 1 & 2), assertion errors, test hierarchy
• Jest: Comprehensive error extraction, all failure types supported
• Mocha: Native Mocha output format, stack trace parsing
• Jasmine: Angular ecosystem support, Message:/Stack: section parsing
• TAP (Test Anything Protocol): Covers Tape, node-tap, YAML diagnostics parsing
• Ava: Node.js community favorite, detailed block parsing with quality metadata
• Playwright: Modern E2E testing, numbered failure blocks, stack trace extraction
• JUnit XML: Universal test format for any framework with XML output

Code Quality Tools

• TypeScript (tsc): Parses file(line,col): error TSxxxx: message format
• ESLint: Parses file:line:col - severity message [rule] format
• OpenAPI: Filters validation errors from specification validators

Fallback

• Generic: Fallback for unknown tools (removes npm noise)

Installation

npm install @vibe-validate/extractors

Usage

Smart Extractor (Recommended)

Auto-detects tool type from step name:

import { extractByStepName } from '@vibe-validate/extractors';

const result = extractByStepName('TypeScript Type Checking', tscOutput);

console.log(result.summary);      // "3 type error(s), 0 warning(s)"
console.log(result.guidance);     // "Type mismatch - check variable/parameter types"
console.log(result.cleanOutput);  // Clean, formatted error list
console.log(result.errors);       // Structured error array

Direct Extractor Usage

Use direct extractors when:

• You know the exact tool being used
• You want explicit control over extraction
• You need tool-specific options

Example: Using Jest extractor directly

import { extractJestErrors } from '@vibe-validate/extractors';
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

const jestOutput = execSync('npx jest --no-coverage').toString();
const result = extractJestErrors(jestOutput);

console.log(`Found ${result.errors.length} test failures`);
console.log(`Quality: ${result.metadata?.confidence}% confidence`);
result.errors.forEach(error => {
  console.log(`  ${error.file}:${error.line} - ${error.message}`);
});

All available extractors:

import {
  // Test framework extractors
  extractVitestErrors,
  extractJestErrors,
  extractMochaErrors,
  extractJasmineErrors,
  extractTAPErrors,
  extractAvaErrors,
  extractPlaywrightErrors,
  extractJUnitErrors,

  // Code quality extractors
  extractTypeScriptErrors,
  extractESLintErrors,
  extractOpenAPIErrors,

  // Fallback
  extractGenericErrors
} from '@vibe-validate/extractors';

Utilities

import { stripAnsiCodes, extractErrorLines } from '@vibe-validate/extractors';

const clean = stripAnsiCodes(colorfulOutput);
const errorLines = extractErrorLines(verboseOutput);

API

extractByStepName(stepName: string, output: string): ErrorExtractorResult

Smart extractor with auto-detection.

Detection rules:

• TypeScript: Step name contains "TypeScript" or "typecheck"
• ESLint: Step name contains "ESLint" or "lint"
• Vitest: Output contains ❯ marker or FAIL keyword
• Jest: Output contains FAIL or ● bullet pattern
• Mocha: Output contains Mocha's passing/failing summary format
• Jasmine: Output contains "Failures:" header
• TAP: Output contains "TAP version" or "not ok" format
• Ava: Output contains ✘ [fail]: pattern
• Playwright: Output contains ✘ with .spec.ts references
• JUnit XML: Output starts with <?xml and contains <testsuite>
• OpenAPI: Step name contains "OpenAPI"
• Generic: Fallback for unknown types

Type Definitions

interface FormattedError {
  file?: string;
  line?: number;
  column?: number;
  message: string;
  code?: string;
  severity?: 'error' | 'warning';
  context?: string;
  guidance?: string;
}

interface ExtractionMetadata {
  confidence: number;              // 0-100: Based on pattern match quality
  completeness: number;            // % of failures with file + line + message
  issues: string[];                // Problems encountered during extraction
  suggestions?: string[];          // For developerFeedback mode only
}

interface ErrorExtractorResult {
  errors: FormattedError[];        // First 10 errors (structured)
  summary: string;                 // Human-readable summary
  totalCount: number;              // Total error count
  guidance?: string;               // Actionable fixing guidance
  cleanOutput: string;             // Clean formatted output for YAML/JSON
  metadata?: ExtractionMetadata;   // Extraction quality metadata
}

Why LLM-Optimized?

• Token Efficiency: Limits output to first 10 errors (most relevant)
• Noise Removal: Strips ANSI codes, npm headers, stack traces
• Structured Data: Provides parseable error objects with file:line:col
• Actionable Guidance: Suggests specific fixes based on error codes
• Clean Embedding: cleanOutput ready for YAML/JSON state files

Design Philosophy

Agent-First: Designed for consumption by AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), not just humans.

Deterministic: Same input always produces same output (no timestamps, no randomness).

Minimal: Zero runtime dependencies, pure TypeScript.
