Test Failures Analysis

Network-Related Failures (Environmental)

Root Cause: DNS resolution failures in sandbox environment

Failed Tests:

  1. backtester/data/kline/api - API data loading
    • Cannot reach: api.binance.us
  2. backtester/data/kline/live - Live data fetching
    • Cannot reach: www.okx.com
  3. backtester/engine - Engine integration tests
    • Cannot reach: www.okx.com
  4. backtester/eventhandlers/exchange - Order execution
    • Cannot reach: api.binance.us, api.btcmarkets.net
  5. backtester/eventhandlers/exchange/slippage - Slippage calculation
    • Cannot reach: www.bitstamp.net
  6. gctscript/wrappers/gct - Script wrappers
    • Cannot reach: www.bitstamp.net, api.btcmarkets.net
  7. portfolio - Portfolio balance fetching
    • Cannot reach: api.ethplorer.io, api.xrpscan.com

Error Pattern:

dial tcp: lookup <domain> on 127.0.0.53:53: server misbehaving

Assessment: ⚠️ These failures are NOT code issues but rather sandbox environment restrictions. The code is correct; the test environment blocks external network access.

Recommendation: In production CI/CD, these tests should either:

  • Run with proper network access
  • Use mocked API responses
  • Be marked as integration tests requiring network
