Description

This PR implements comprehensive unit tests for the [ScubaArgumentParser] class, providing complete test coverage for all methods and functionality including argument parsing, configuration file integration, validation logic, and parameter alias handling.

Motivation and context

This change is required to establish a robust unit testing framework for the ScubaGoggles project as part of Epic #330. The [ScubaArgumentParser] class is a critical component that handles command-line argument parsing and YAML configuration file integration, but previously lacked comprehensive test coverage.

The implementation solves the testing gap by creating 13 comprehensive test methods that cover all class functionality including:

  • Basic argument parsing and configuration file integration
  • CLI argument precedence over config file values
  • Parameter alias translation (short form to long form)
  • Path string to Path object conversion
  • OrgName PascalCase conversion for ScubaGear compatibility
  • Policy ID validation with proper warning generation
  • Explicit CLI argument detection vs default values

Closes #785

Testing

Test Environment:

  • Python 3.11.9 with pytest 9.0.1 and pytest-mock 3.15.1
  • All tests run in isolated environments with proper mocking
  • Temporary file creation/cleanup for config file testing

- test_parse_args_with_config_no_config: No config file scenario
- test_parse_args_with_config_with_file: Config file integration
- test_get_explicit_cli_args: CLI argument detection (_get_explicit_cli_args)
- test_validate_config_path_conversion: Path string to Path object conversion
- test_validate_config_orgname_conversion: OrgName PascalCase conversion
- test_validate_config_calls_validation_methods: Method delegation
- test_validate_omissions: Policy ID omission validation
- test_validate_annotations: Policy ID annotation validation
- test_param_to_alias_mapping: Parameter alias mapping verification
- test_config_file_alias_translation: Short form to long form translation
- test_cli_args_override_config: CLI precedence over config file

Hi @gothiyag, these code changes reference M365 products like Teams, Sharepoint/OneDrive. These are products assessed in ScubaGear, not ScubaGoggles. Same with the policy identifiers, teams.1.1v1 and sharepoint1.1v1 are not valid policy identifiers.

Can you please update all references to the incorrect products and use policy identifiers from the ScubaGoggles baselines? e.g., GWS.COMMONCONTROLS.1.1v1.

ScubaGoggles does not test Teams and SharePoint products.

Same here. Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive are not GWS products.

omitpolicyand annotatepolicy keys should be testing against ScubaGoggles policy identifiers.
