fix(graph): correct delete_files return contract by YogeLiu · Pull Request #714 · FalkorDB/code-graph · GitHub

Fixes #569

Root cause

Graph.delete_files() always returned None, and both production callers use it only for its graph-deletion side effect. Its annotation incorrectly advertised a tuple return value, misleading type checkers and callers.

Changes

Change the return annotation from tuple[str, dict, list[int]] to None.
Document the side-effect-only return contract.
Add an isolated unit test that verifies the runtime return, annotation, and graph query invocation without requiring FalkorDB.

Impact

Only the Python type contract and documentation change. The Cypher query, parameters, deletion behavior, and existing callers are unchanged.

Verification

uv run pytest tests/test_graph_delete_files.py -q — passed (1 test).
uv run ruff check api/graph.py tests/test_graph_delete_files.py — passed.
git diff --check — passed.
Sensitive-data regex scan of the diff — no matches.

Checks not run

The broader uv run pytest tests/test_git_history.py tests/test_graph_delete_files.py -q could not complete because the checkout does not contain the required tests/git_repo fixture; the new isolated test passed in that invocation.
Full integration tests requiring FalkorDB were not run.

Risk and rollback

Low risk: runtime behavior is unchanged. A caller that incorrectly relied on the old tuple annotation will now receive the accurate type-checking result. Roll back by reverting the single commit; no data or configuration migration is involved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved consistency for file deletion operations by clarifying that the action completes without returning result data.
- File and related entity removal behavior remains unchanged.
Tests
- Added coverage to verify the deletion operation’s return behavior and ensure the graph query executes as expected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Graph.delete_files now declares and documents a None return value. A test verifies the return value, annotation, and single graph query invocation.

Use the repository's unittest style for this new test.

This file adds a top-level pytest-style test function. Convert it to a unittest.TestCase method and use self.assertIsNone(...) for consistency with the backend test suite.

Based on learnings: “In this repository’s backend test suite under tests/, use Python’s built-in unittest style: define test classes that inherit from unittest.TestCase and write tests accordingly (avoid switching to pytest for new test files).”
