 "title": "Fix failing tests automatically in a CI pipeline",
 "page_title": "How to fix failing tests automatically in a CI pipeline with Cline",
 "summary": "Run Cline headless in a pipeline so it runs tests and repairs failures without a person present.",
 "who": "A developer or DevOps engineer whose build keeps failing on test errors and wants a first attempt at fixes before a human reviews the change.",
 "problem": "Test failures block merges, and triaging them by hand takes time away from feature work.",
 "outcome": "The agent runs the test suite, edits the code to fix failures, and leaves the changes in the working tree for review.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the CLI with `npm i -g cline`.",
  "Open a terminal in the root of the repository that has the failing tests.",
  "Run `cline \"Run tests and fix any failures\"`.",
  "Review the file changes with `git diff` before committing.",
  "Commit the changes on a branch and let your normal CI rerun the tests."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the cline/cline repo's headless CLI in <repo-path>. Run `cline \"Run tests and fix any failures\"` from the repo root, then report which tests failed, which files changed, and whether the test command passes afterward. Verify the result by rerunning the test command yourself before reporting success.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes headless use and file edits but does not say how test results are verified, so always rerun the tests yourself before merging.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js with npm available, since the README installs the CLI with npm",
  "Access to an AI model provider that Cline supports, such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio",
  "A git repository or project folder you want the agent to work in",
  "For the VS Code path: the VS Code editor and the VS Code Marketplace extension"
