# Exa CI Integration
## Overview
Set up CI/CD pipelines for Exa integrations with unit tests (mocked), integration tests (real API), and health checks. Uses GitHub Actions with secrets for API key management.
## Prerequisites
- GitHub repository with Actions enabled
- Exa API key for testing
- npm/pnpm project with vitest or jest
## Instructions
### Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow
```yaml
# .github/workflows/exa-tests.yml
name: Exa Integration Tests
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
unit-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
cache: "npm"
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run test:unit
# Unit tests use mocked Exa — no API key needed
integration-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# Only run if API key is available (not on forks)
if: github.event_name == 'push' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository
env:
EXA_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.EXA_API_KEY }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
cache: "npm"
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run test:integration
timeout-minutes: 5
exa-health-check:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
EXA_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.EXA_API_KEY }}
steps:
- name: Verify Exa API connectivity
run: |
HTTP_CODE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
-X POST https://api.exa.ai/search \
-H "x-api-key: $EXA_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"CI health check","numResults":1}')
echo "Exa API status: $HTTP_CODE"
[ "$HTTP_CODE" = "200" ] || exit 1
```
### Step 2: Configure Secrets
```bash
# Add API key as repository secret
gh secret set EXA_API_KEY --body "your-exa-api-key"
# For staging/production deployments
gh secret set EXA_API_KEY_STAGING --body "staging-key" --env staging
gh secret set EXA_API_KEY_PROD --body "prod-key" --env production
```
### Step 3: Integration Test Suite
```typescript
// tests/exa.integration.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import Exa from "exa-js";
const describeWithKey = process.env.EXA_API_KEY ? describe : describe.skip;
describeWithKey("Exa API Integration", () => {
const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY!);
it("should search and return results", async () => {
const result = await exa.search("JavaScript frameworks", {
type: "auto",
numResults: 3,
});
expect(result.results.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
expect(result.results[0]).toHaveProperty("url");
expect(result.results[0]).toHaveProperty("title");
expect(result.results[0]).toHaveProperty("score");
}, 10000);
it("should return content with searchAndContents", async () => {
const result = await exa.searchAndContents("Node.js best practices", {
numResults: 2,
text: { maxCharacters: 500 },
highlights: { maxCharacters: 200 },
});
expect(result.results[0].text).toBeDefined();
expect(result.results[0].text!.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
}, 15000);
it("should find similar pages", async () => {
const result = await exa.findSimilar("https://nodejs.org", {
numResults: 3,
});
expect(result.results.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
}, 10000);
it("should handle invalid queries gracefully", async () => {
// Empty query should return 400
await expect(
exa.search("", { numResults: 1 })
).rejects.toThrow();
}, 10000);
});
```
### Step 4: Release Gate with Exa Verification
```yaml
# .github/workflows/release.yml
on:
push:
tags: ["v*"]
jobs:
verify-and-release:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
EXA_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.EXA_API_KEY_PROD }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
- run: npm ci
- run: npm test
- name: Verify Exa production connectivity
run: npm run test:integration
- run: npm run build
- run: npm publish
```
## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Secret not found | Missing configuration | `gh secret set EXA_API_KEY` |
| Integration tests timeout | Slow API response | Increase timeout to 15000ms |
| Tests fail on forks | No access to secrets | Skip integration tests on fork PRs |
| Rate limited in CI | Too many concurrent runs | Use unique test queries per run |
