Fix workflow documentation to use dynamic workspace paths#879
Merged
Conversation
Update .github/agentics/language-support-tester.md to reference the workspace path from github-context instead of hardcoding /workspace/. This ensures the agent uses the correct runtime workspace path when locating test samples. Co-authored-by: lpcox <15877973+lpcox@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
Updates the Language Support Tester agent documentation to use the GitHub Actions runtime workspace path (from github-context) instead of hardcoded /workspace/ paths, ensuring the agent can reliably locate test samples across runner environments.
Changes:
- Replaced hardcoded
/workspace/...sample paths with a{workspace}/...placeholder. - Added guidance to use the workspace path provided in the prompt’s
github-context. - Updated the “Important Notes” section to match the dynamic workspace approach.

Issue #867 reports missing TypeScript/JavaScript and Python test samples for language support testing. These samples were added in PR #879 (commit 97784a4) on Feb 10, 2026 - one day after the issue was created. The issue remained open erroneously. ## Verification **JavaScript/TypeScript** (`test/serena-mcp-tests/samples/js_project/`): - `calculator.js` - Calculator class with methods (add, multiply, greet) - `utils.js` - formatNumber utility function - `package.json` - Project metadata for language server detection **Python** (`test/serena-mcp-tests/samples/python_project/`): - `calculator.py` - Calculator class with type hints and methods - `utils.py` - format_number utility function All files match specifications in `.github/agentics/language-support-tester.md`. No code changes required. <!-- START COPILOT ORIGINAL PROMPT --> <details> <summary>Original prompt</summary> > > ---- > > *This section details on the original issue you should resolve* > > <issue_title>[language-support] TypeScript/JavaScript and Python test samples missing for language support testing</issue_title> > <issue_description>## Summary > > The language support tester workflow cannot fully test TypeScript/JavaScript and Python support because the required test sample directories do not exist in the repository. > > ## What Works > > ✅ **Go Language Support** - Successfully tested and verified: > - `find_symbol` correctly identifies functions in `main.go` and other Go files > - `get_symbols_overview` returns accurate symbol listings for Go files > - `find_referencing_symbols` successfully traces references across Go files > - Language server responds correctly to all queries > > ## What's Missing > > ❌ **TypeScript/JavaScript Test Samples** > - Expected location: `/workspace/test/serena-mcp-tests/samples/js_project/` > - Status: Directory does not exist > - Impact: Cannot test TypeScript/JavaScript language server functionality > > ❌ **Python Test Samples** > - Expected location: `/workspace/test/serena-mcp-tests/samples/python_project/` > - Status: Directory does not exist > - Impact: Cannot test Python language server functionality > > ## Steps to Reproduce > > 1.

The Language Support Tester workflow documentation hardcoded
/workspace/paths, preventing the agent from locating test samples at runtime. GitHub Actions workspace paths vary by environment (e.g.,/home/runner/work/{repo}/{repo}).Changes
.github/agentics/language-support-tester.md:/workspace/paths to{workspace}placeholdergithub-contextsectionThe agent now receives the actual runtime workspace path via
__GH_AW_GITHUB_WORKSPACE__in the github-context and can correctly construct paths to test samples:Notes
Test sample files already exist in the repository with expected content (
Calculatorclass,addmethod,format_numberfunction,package.json). No code changes required.Warning
