# Fix Plan Current state analysis of trx-rs as of 2026-04-08. ## Overall Assessment The codebase is in good shape. Clippy is clean, no `unsafe` code, no TODO/FIXME markers, robust error handling throughout. One broken test and several untested crates are the main weak spots. --- ## P0 — Broken Test ### 1. `test_toggle_ft8_decode` returns 500 instead of 200 **Location:** `src/trx-client/trx-frontend/trx-frontend-http/src/api/mod.rs:1016` **Root cause:** The handler `toggle_ft8_decode` (decoder.rs:353) requires `context: web::Data>` for multi-rig state resolution. The test registers `state_rx` and `rig_tx` but not `context`, so actix-web returns 500 (missing app data). A `make_context()` helper already exists at line 757 but is unused by this test. **Fix:** Add `.app_data(web::Data::new(make_context()))` to the test's `App` builder (line 1036-1041). ~1 line change. **Impact:** This is the only failing test in the entire suite (50 pass, 1 fail). --- ## P1 — Test Coverage Gaps ### 2. trx-aprs decoder — 0 tests (596 LOC) **Location:** `src/decoders/trx-aprs/src/lib.rs` Bell 202 AFSK demodulator + AX.25 HDLC frame parser + CRC-16 validation. No `#[cfg(test)]` module at all. **Suggested tests:** - CRC-16 computation on known frames - HDLC flag detection and bit-unstuffing - Full frame decode from synthetic AFSK audio (1200 baud sine pairs) - Rejection of corrupted frames (bad CRC, truncated) ### 3. trx-decode-log — 0 tests (226 LOC) **Location:** `src/decoders/trx-decode-log/src/lib.rs` JSON Lines file writer with date-based rotation. Pure I/O wrapper. **Suggested tests:** - Write + read-back round-trip in a tempdir - Date rotation triggers new file creation - Flush error logging (mock writer) ### 4. trx-reporting — partial tests (1,065 LOC across 2 files) **Location:** `src/trx-reporting/src/pskreporter.rs` (582 LOC), `src/trx-reporting/src/aprsfi.rs` (483 LOC) Both files have `#[cfg(test)]` modules but coverage is limited to serialization. Network behavior (reconnect, rate-limit, batching) is untested. **Suggested tests:** - PSKReporter UDP datagram encoding round-trip - APRS-IS login line formatting - Spot batching and dedup logic (unit-testable without network) --- ## P2 — Code Quality ### 5. `audio.rs` is 4,000 LOC **Location:** `src/trx-server/src/audio.rs` Houses all decoder task launchers (FT8, FT4, FT2, APRS, AIS, VDES, CW, WSPR, LRPT, WEFAX). Each launcher follows the same pattern. The file is coherent but large. **Suggested improvement:** Extract decoder launchers into a `decoders/` submodule within trx-server, one file per decoder family (e.g., `ftx.rs`, `aprs.rs`, `wefax.rs`). Keep the audio pipeline and capture logic in `audio.rs`. ### 6. `scheduler.rs` is 1,585 LOC **Location:** `src/trx-client/trx-frontend/trx-frontend-http/src/scheduler.rs` Mixes grayline computation, timespan matching, satellite pass prediction, and the scheduler state machine. Well-tested but dense. **Suggested improvement:** Extract grayline and satellite pass logic into separate modules (these are pure functions with no HTTP dependencies). --- ## P3 — Minor ### 7. `#[allow(dead_code)]` in soapysdr backend (4 annotations) **Locations:** - `vchan_impl.rs:66,87` — `fixed_slot_count`, `process_pair` - `real_iq_source.rs:20` — `device` - `demod.rs:113` — lifetime anchor All documented as intentional (lifetime anchors / reserved capacity). No action needed unless the fields can be converted to `PhantomData` or `_`-prefixed without breaking semantics. ### 8. FrontendRuntimeContext test helper duplication risk **Location:** `src/trx-client/trx-frontend/trx-frontend-http/src/api/mod.rs:757` `make_context()` and `spawn_rig_responder()` are good helpers but only used by some tests. As new endpoint tests are added, ensure they consistently use these helpers to avoid repeating the `test_toggle_ft8_decode` bug. --- ## Implementation Order ```mermaid gantt title Fix Plan dateFormat X axisFormat %s section P0 Fix test_toggle_ft8_decode :p0, 0, 1 section P1 Add trx-aprs tests :p1a, 1, 3 Add trx-decode-log tests :p1b, 1, 2 Expand trx-reporting tests :p1c, 1, 3 section P2 Split audio.rs decoder launchers :p2a, 3, 5 Extract scheduler pure functions :p2b, 3, 5 ``` P0 is a one-line fix. P1 items are independent and can be parallelized. P2 items are refactors that should wait until P1 tests provide regression safety.
