tools-only sniptest
Tool for generating tested code snippets for Mintlify docs.
How It Works
- Write testable Python in
/testers/*.pywith# @sniptestcomments - Pre-commit hook runs
python sniptest/generate.py - Generated
.mdxfiles appear in/snippets/ - Docs import from
/snippets/- never write inline code blocks - CI/CD tests all
/testers/*.pyfor validity
Syntax
# @sniptest filename=example.py
# @sniptest highlight=3-5,8
# @sniptest show=1-15
from notte_sdk import NotteClient
client = NotteClient()
# code here...
# Hidden below (via show=1-15)
if __name__ == "__main__":
test()
Decorators
| Decorator | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|
filename |
filename=example.py |
Filename in header |
highlight |
highlight=1-2,5 |
highlight={1-2,5} |
focus |
focus=2,4-5 |
focus={2,4-5} |
lines |
lines=true |
Show line numbers |
expandable |
expandable=true |
Collapsible block |
wrap |
wrap=true |
Wrap long lines |
icon |
icon=rocket |
icon="rocket" |
show |
show=5 or show=5-20 |
Pre-shave lines (single = that line only) |
Line Number Syntax
| Type | Example | Means |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 5 |
Line 5 |
| Range | 1-5 |
Lines 1 through 5 |
| Mixed | 1-2,5,8-10 |
Lines 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 |
Works for highlight and focus. The show decorator only supports single range or single number.
Processing Order
All line numbers refer to the original code (after # @sniptest comments are stripped).
show shaves lines AND remaps highlight/focus to match:
# @sniptest show=3-5
# @sniptest highlight=4-5
Original: Output:
1: line1 (removed)
2: line2 (removed)
3: line3 → 1: line3
4: line4 → 2: line4 ← highlighted
5: line5 → 3: line5 ← highlighted
Result: highlight={2-3}
Lines outside show range are removed from highlight/focus.
Commands
python sniptest/generate.py # Generate all
python sniptest/generate.py --dry-run # Preview
python sniptest/generate.py --clean # Remove orphans
python sniptest/generate.py --verbose # Show unchanged

No Inline Code
Never write code blocks directly in MDX. Always import from /snippets/.
