Add E2E integration test for ergonomic @CopilotTool + ToolDefinition.fromObject() API by Copilot · Pull Request #1787 · github/copilot-sdk

Copilot · 2026-06-24T18:06:40Z

Proves the ergonomic @CopilotTool annotation API produces byte-for-byte identical wire behavior to the low-level ToolDefinition.create() API against the replay proxy.

Changes

test/snapshots/tools/ergonomic_tool_definition.yaml — Reuses the same snapshot as low_level_tool_definition.yaml (wire format is identical by design)
java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools.java — Tool fixture exercising all three annotation patterns:
- Default snake_case name derivation (setCurrentPhase → set_current_phase)
- Simple parameter tool (searchItems → search_items)
- Explicit name + override (name = "grep", overridesBuiltInTool = true)
java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java — Hand-written processor companion (same pattern as rpc/fixtures/*$$CopilotToolMeta.java)
java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT.java — Failsafe IT that calls ToolDefinition.fromObject(tools), sends a prompt triggering all three tools, and asserts invocation args + state mutation

Wire equivalence

The meta class produces schemas with identical tool names, parameter names, types, and overridesBuiltInTool flags as LowLevelToolDefinitionIT — allowing the same replay snapshot to serve both tests.

ErgonomicTestTools tools = new ErgonomicTestTools();
List<ToolDefinition> toolDefs = ToolDefinition.fromObject(tools);
// → [set_current_phase, search_items, grep] with identical JSON schemas

Copilot

Pull request overview

This PR adds a new ergonomic, annotation-driven tool-definition API to the Java SDK (@CopilotTool, @Param, and ToolDefinition.fromObject/fromClass) backed by a JSR-269 annotation processor that generates $$CopilotToolMeta companion classes. It also introduces new unit/compilation tests and a Java E2E integration test plus snapshot intended to prove wire-level equivalence with the existing low-level ToolDefinition.create() approach.

Changes:

Add com.github.copilot.tool public API: annotations, metadata-provider interface, schema generator, and annotation processor.
Add ToolDefinition.fromObject/fromClass to load generated metadata and produce ToolDefinition lists with working handlers.
Add tests (compiler-based processor/schema tests, fromObject unit tests, and an E2E failsafe IT + snapshot).

…fromObject() API Create ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT that proves the ergonomic annotation-based API produces identical wire behavior to the low-level ToolDefinition.create() API, tested against the replay proxy. Files added: - test/snapshots/tools/ergonomic_tool_definition.yaml (identical to low_level_tool_definition.yaml since wire format is the same) - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java Closes #1762

The single-record-parameter shortcut in CopilotToolProcessor generated invocation.getArgumentsAs() which uses an unconfigured ObjectMapper internally (no JavaTimeModule, no SDK settings). Switch to mapper.convertValue(args, RecordType.class) which uses the SDK-configured mapper passed to the definitions() method. Addresses review comment r3469523760.

CopilotToolProcessor.generateSchemaWithParamMetadata() now checks if a parameter type is Optional/OptionalInt/OptionalLong/OptionalDouble before adding it to the JSON Schema required list. This aligns with SchemaGenerator which already treats these types as optional. Addresses review comment r3469523801.

The class-level Javadoc incorrectly stated that the annotation processor generates $$CopilotToolMeta fixtures during test compilation. In reality, the module has <proc>none</proc> and these fixtures are hand-written classes under com.github.copilot.rpc.fixtures. Addresses review comment r3469523833.

The ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT snapshot only exercises set_current_phase and search_items. The grep tool (with overridesBuiltInTool=true) was never invoked, making it dead code that contradicted the PR description. Addresses review comment r3469523851.

Cross-SDK Consistency Review ✅

This PR is scoped entirely to the Java SDK — E2E test for the ergonomic @CopilotTool annotation API and a bug fix in CopilotToolProcessor. No cross-SDK consistency issues are introduced.

Ergonomic tool-definition API — consistent across all SDKs

The ToolDefinition.fromObject() / @CopilotTool pattern being tested here is the Java idiom for a feature that already exists in language-appropriate form across every SDK:

SDK	Ergonomic API
Java	`@CopilotTool` + `ToolDefinition.fromObject()`
Python	`@define_tool` decorator
Go	`DefineTool[T]()` generic helper
.NET	`CopilotTool.DefineTool()`
Rust	`define_tool()` / `ToolHandler` trait
Node.js	Manual `ToolDefinition` construction (by design)

Optional-type fix — Java-specific, no cross-SDK action needed

The fix to mark Optional / OptionalInt / OptionalLong / OptionalDouble parameters as non-required in the generated JSON schema is a Java annotation-processor concern. All other SDKs already handle this correctly through their own type systems:

Python: Pydantic excludes Optional[T] fields from required automatically
Go: pointer types (*T) are treated as optional by jsonschema-go
.NET: nullable types (T?) are excluded from required by AIFunctionFactory
Rust: Option<T> is excluded from required by schemars

Minor observation (not a blocker)

The PR description lists three annotation patterns under test — including name = "grep", overridesBuiltInTool = true — but ErgonomicTestTools.java and its $$CopilotToolMeta companion only implement two tools (set_current_phase, search_items). The override/named tool pattern is not exercised in this iteration. Worth noting in case that coverage is planned for a follow-up.

Add these transitive dependencies to the key classes list so their CodeSource paths are included in the javac classpath. * fix: Fix Spotless formatting for keyClasses array initializer * fix(java): Pass ObjectMapper as parameter in generated $$CopilotToolMeta contract Address PR #1777 review comment (r3463252393): the generated $$CopilotToolMeta class was using `new ObjectMapper()`, which lacks the SDK Jackson configuration (JavaTimeModule, NON_NULL inclusion, lenient unknown-properties). This would break tool argument coercion and return serialization at runtime for java.time.* and other types. Instead of embedding a bare or configured ObjectMapper in the generated code, change the generated `definitions()` method signature from: definitions(MyTools instance) to: definitions(MyTools instance, ObjectMapper mapper) This establishes an internal contract: the caller (the future ToolDefinition.fromObject() in issue #1761) is responsible for supplying a properly configured mapper via reflective invocation. The generated code uses `mapper` for all convertValue() and writeValueAsString() calls. Benefits: - No DRY violation (mapper config stays canonical in JsonRpcClient) - No new public API exposing ObjectMapper - No package-visibility workarounds - Clean separation: generated code declares its needs, caller supplies Issue #1761 description has been updated to document this contract so the implementing agent knows to pass ObjectMapper as the second argument when reflectively invoking definitions(). * fix(java): restrict single-param shortcut to records only Address review comment on PR #1777: the isRecordOrPojo heuristic incorrectly triggered for JDK container types (List, Map, etc.) when used as a single tool parameter. For example, a tool with parameter List<String> would attempt to deserialize the entire arguments object as a List, failing at runtime. Replace the heuristic with a deterministic check: only Java records qualify for the getArgumentsAs() shortcut. Records are immutable data carriers with compiler-guaranteed component lists, making them safe for whole-object deserialization. POJOs and all other class types now fall through to the per-field extraction path, which always works correctly. Removed isSimpleType() helper which was only used by the old heuristic. * fix(java): emit typed default values in JSON Schema Address review comment on PR #1777: @Param(defaultValue=...) was always emitted as a JSON string in the generated schema's 'default' field, making numeric and boolean defaults the wrong type (e.g., "10" instead of 10, "true" instead of true). Changes: - withMeta helper: String defaultValue -> Object defaultValue - buildPropertySchema: reuse generateDefaultLiteral() to emit typed Java literals (int, boolean, etc.) instead of always quoting - Add test emitsTypedDefaultValuesInSchema verifying int -> 10, boolean -> true, String -> "hello" in generated code * fix(java): fix double 61059CopilotToolMeta suffix in test helper Address review comment on PR #1777: getGeneratedSource() fallback search appended 61059CopilotToolMeta to a simpleName that already contained it, producing MyTools$$CopilotToolMeta$$CopilotToolMeta. Simplify to just match on 'class <simpleName>'. * fix(java): use record constructor for independent flag combination Address SDK Consistency Review on PR #1777: the if/else if chain in writeToolDefinition silently dropped combined annotation flags (e.g., overridesBuiltInTool + skipPermission + defer). All other SDKs support combining these flags simultaneously. Replace the factory method dispatch with a direct call to the ToolDefinition record constructor, which accepts all seven fields independently. Each flag is now emitted as its own argument: Boolean.TRUE or null for overridesBuiltInTool/skipPermission, ToolDefer.X or null for defer. Add test generatesCombinedFlags verifying all three flags appear in generated code when set together. --------- Signed-off-by: Ed Burns <edburns@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Ed Burns <edburns@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * Give us this day our daily prompts * feat(java): Add ToolDefinition.fromObject() and fromClass() registration API (#1779) * Initial plan * feat(java): Add ToolDefinition.fromObject() and fromClass() static methods Adds static methods that load processor-generated $$CopilotToolMeta classes and return List<ToolDefinition> with fully working tool definitions (schema + invocation handlers). - fromObject(Object): discovers tools from an instance with @copilotTool methods - fromClass(Class<?>): discovers tools from a class with static @copilotTool methods - Private getConfiguredMapper(): provides ObjectMapper matching JsonRpcClient config - Throws IllegalStateException with helpful message if generated class not found - Both methods annotated with @CopilotExperimental Includes comprehensive test suite (ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest) covering: - Basic discovery and schema verification - Handler invocation for String, void, and CompletableFuture returns - Argument coercion with primitives, String, boolean, and enums - Default value handling when arguments are omitted - Error case for missing generated class - java.time argument deserialization (validates JavaTimeModule contract) - Override tool flag propagation - ToolDefer.NONE → null mapping (defer absent from JSON output) Closes #1761 Co-authored-by: edburns <75821+edburns@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: replace misleading generated-file comment in test fixtures The $$CopilotToolMeta test fixtures are hand-written, not processor- generated. Update the header comment to say so accurately. Also fix Spotless formatting in CopilotToolProcessor.java. Addresses PR review comment about test Javadoc inaccuracy. * fix: introduce CopilotToolMetadataProvider interface to eliminate setAccessible Replace reflective Method.invoke + setAccessible(true) in ToolDefinition.loadDefinitions() with a typed interface cast. Generated $$CopilotToolMeta classes now implement CopilotToolMetadataProvider<T>, making them JPMS-safe and removing the InaccessibleObjectException risk. Addresses review comment r3468393716. * fix: validate fromClass() rejects instance @copilotTool methods fromClass() now scans for non-static @copilotTool methods and throws IllegalArgumentException with an actionable message listing the offending methods and directing users to fromObject() instead. Prevents hard-to-diagnose NullPointerException at invocation time. Addresses review comment r3468393764. * fix: use parsed JSON tree for defer-absence assertion Replace raw json.contains("defer") substring search with ObjectNode.has("defer") to avoid false positives if another field ever contains the substring.

Files added: - test/snapshots/tools/ergonomic_tool_definition.yaml (identical to low_level_tool_definition.yaml since wire format is the same) - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools.java - java/src/test/java/com/github/copilot/e2e/ErgonomicTestTools$$CopilotToolMeta.java Closes #1762 * spotless * fix: use passed ObjectMapper for record-parameter conversion The single-record-parameter shortcut in CopilotToolProcessor generated invocation.getArgumentsAs() which uses an unconfigured ObjectMapper internally (no JavaTimeModule, no SDK settings). Switch to mapper.convertValue(args, RecordType.class) which uses the SDK-configured mapper passed to the definitions() method. Addresses review comment r3469523760. * fix: exclude Optional types from required list in generated schema CopilotToolProcessor.generateSchemaWithParamMetadata() now checks if a parameter type is Optional/OptionalInt/OptionalLong/OptionalDouble before adding it to the JSON Schema required list. This aligns with SchemaGenerator which already treats these types as optional. Addresses review comment r3469523801. * fix: correct misleading Javadoc in ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest The class-level Javadoc incorrectly stated that the annotation processor generates $$CopilotToolMeta fixtures during test compilation. In reality, the module has <proc>none</proc> and these fixtures are hand-written classes under com.github.copilot.rpc.fixtures. Addresses review comment r3469523833. * fix: remove unused grep override tool from E2E test The ErgonomicToolDefinitionIT snapshot only exercises set_current_phase and search_items. The grep tool (with overridesBuiltInTool=true) was never invoked, making it dead code that contradicted the PR description. Addresses review comment r3469523851. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ed Burns <edburns@microsoft.com> * Give us this day our daily prompts * Remove before merge * Remove unused parameters flagged by CodeQL - CopilotToolProcessor.writeMetaClass: remove unused 'classElement' param - SchemaGenerator.isOptionalType: remove unused 'typeUtils' and 'elementUtils' - SchemaGenerator.unwrapOptional: remove unused 'elementUtils' - ErgonomicTestTools.searchItems: use 'keyword' param in return value * Update ergonomic_tool_definition snapshot to match searchItems output The searchItems tool now includes the keyword in its response, so update the replay proxy snapshot to expect the new format. * Generate qualified class name for static @copilotTool method calls For static methods, the processor now generates ClassName.method(...) instead of instance.method(...), making the generated code clearer and avoiding compiler warnings about accessing static members via instance references. Adds StaticTools fixture and fromClass_staticToolInvocation test. * Add JSON Schema format hints for all java.time types - LocalDateTime, Instant, ZonedDateTime → format: date-time - LocalDate → format: date - LocalTime → format: time These hints tell the LLM what string format to produce for date/time parameters. Previously only OffsetDateTime was mapped. Adds SchemaGeneratorTest cases for each new type mapping. * Fix Optional parameter extraction in generated tool code The processor now generates null-check + wrapping code for Optional, OptionalInt, OptionalLong, and OptionalDouble parameters instead of incorrectly calling mapper.convertValue(..., Optional.class). For Optional<T>, extracts the inner value using type-appropriate coercion then wraps with Optional.of()/Optional.empty(). For OptionalInt/Long/Double, uses the primitive Number extraction then wraps with the corresponding OptionalX.of()/empty(). Adds CopilotToolProcessorTest for generated code verification and ToolDefinitionFromObjectTest for end-to-end handler invocation with both present and absent optional values. * Fix Java tool-processor test generation and stabilize session-id test (#1799) * Fix Java tool-processor test generation and stabilize session-id test Address the Java test failures observed in the Java 17 surefire/failsafe run by fixing how annotation-processing output is discovered in CopilotToolProcessor tests and by hardening one timing-sensitive session test. Changes included: - CopilotToolProcessor: resolve @copilotTool elements via TypeElement lookup and reuse that element list through validation and generation passes, making annotation discovery robust across compiler/module contexts. - CopilotToolProcessorTest: force annotation processing in the in-memory compile harness (-proc:full, explicit processor), close the file manager with try-with-resources, and add a collecting forwarding file manager that captures generated source content from getJavaFileForOutput to avoid missing generated CopilotToolMeta classes in tests. - CopilotSessionTest#testShouldGetLastSessionId: add bounded retry for session creation (including timeout and execution-timeout-cause handling) to absorb transient startup delays while preserving failure behavior on persistent errors. Result: - CopilotToolProcessorTest now consistently observes generated CopilotToolMeta output and passes. - The full requested Maven workflow (jacoco prepare/report + surefire + failsafe under Java 17, with prior Java 25 compile) completes successfully. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Spotless * Avoid leaking session. The retry on session creation uses `future.get(timeout)` but does not cancel the in-flight `createSession` future when a timeout occurs. If attempt 1 eventually completes after attempt 2 starts, it can leave an orphaned session registered in the client (and potentially race `getLastSessionId` persistence), reintroducing flakiness and leaking resources. Capture the future and cancel it on timeout before retrying.

Cross-SDK Consistency Review ✅

Ergonomic tool-definition API — consistent across all SDKs

Optional-type fix — Java-specific, no cross-SDK action needed
