# Story 2.1: Aircraft Data Model & Fetcher Status: ready-for-dev ## Story As the radar system, I want an `Aircraft` dataclass with safe-default optional fields and a `FetcherInterface` with both an `HttpFetcher` (live dump1090) and a `FileFixtureFetcher` (for testing), So that all downstream rendering code works with typed `Aircraft` objects and the fetch boundary is cleanly isolated from raw JSON. ## Acceptance Criteria AC1: **Given** a valid dump1090 JSON response with all fields present **When** `HttpFetcher.fetch()` is called **Then** it returns a `list[Aircraft]` with all fields populated correctly AC2: **Given** the dump1090 response contains aircraft with missing `callsign`, `altitude`, or `category` **When** `HttpFetcher.fetch()` is called **Then** the corresponding fields use safe defaults (`callsign=""`, `altitude_ft=0`, `category=""`) and no exception is raised AC3: **Given** the dump1090 HTTP request exceeds `FETCH_TIMEOUT_S` (5 seconds) **When** `HttpFetcher.fetch()` is called **Then** a `requests.Timeout` is raised (not caught here — the loop boundary handles it) AC4: **Given** an aircraft entry has the MLAT flag set in the JSON **When** `HttpFetcher.fetch()` is called **Then** the resulting `Aircraft` has `is_mlat=True` AC5: **Given** a `FileFixtureFetcher` pointed at `tests/fixtures/aircraft_sample.json` **When** `.fetch()` is called **Then** it returns the equivalent `list[Aircraft]` with no network call made ## Tasks / Subtasks - [ ] Task 1: Implement `Aircraft` dataclass in `src/planemapper/models.py` (AC: #1, #2, #4) - [ ] 1.1 Replace the existing stub with the full dataclass as specified in architecture: `icao: str`, `lat: float`, `lon: float`, `heading: float = 0.0`, `altitude_ft: int = 0`, `callsign: str = ""`, `category: str = ""`, `is_mlat: bool = False`, `is_stale: bool = False` - [ ] 1.2 Add `from __future__ import annotations` and `from dataclasses import dataclass` imports - [ ] 1.3 Confirm `ruff check .` passes with zero violations after change - [ ] Task 2: Add `DUMP1090_URL` constant to `src/planemapper/constants.py` (AC: #1, #3) - [ ] 2.1 Add `DUMP1090_URL = "http://localhost:8080/data/aircraft.json"` to `constants.py` - [ ] 2.2 Confirm existing constants are unaffected and `ruff check .` passes - [ ] Task 3: Implement `HttpFetcher` in `src/planemapper/fetcher.py` (AC: #1, #2, #3, #4) - [ ] 3.1 Add imports: `import requests`, `from pathlib import Path`, `from planemapper.constants import DUMP1090_URL, FETCH_TIMEOUT_S` - [ ] 3.2 Implement `_parse_aircraft(entry: dict) -> Aircraft` private module-level helper: - Map `hex` → `icao` - Map `lat` → `lat`, `lon` → `lon` - Map `flight` → `callsign` with `.strip()` and default `""` - Map `altitude` → `altitude_ft`: use `int(val)` if `isinstance(val, int)` else `0` (handles string `"ground"` and missing) - Map `category` → `category` with default `""` - Map `mlat` → `is_mlat`: `bool(entry.get("mlat"))` (empty list → `False`, non-empty → `True`) - `is_stale` always defaults to `False` - [ ] 3.3 Implement `HttpFetcher` class: - `fetch(self) -> list[Aircraft]` calls `requests.get(DUMP1090_URL, timeout=FETCH_TIMEOUT_S)` - Parses top-level JSON key `"aircraft"` as a list - Skips entries missing `lat` or `lon` (cannot be plotted) - Returns `[_parse_aircraft(e) for e in entries]` - Does NOT catch `requests.Timeout` — let it propagate - [ ] 3.4 Confirm `HttpFetcher` satisfies `FetcherInterface` structurally (no explicit inheritance needed) - [ ] Task 4: Implement `FileFixtureFetcher` in `src/planemapper/fetcher.py` (AC: #5) - [ ] 4.1 Add `FileFixtureFetcher` class after `HttpFetcher`: - Constructor: `__init__(self, path: Path)` stores `self._path = path` - `fetch(self) -> list[Aircraft]` reads JSON from `self._path`, parses with same `_parse_aircraft` helper - Same skip logic for missing `lat`/`lon` - [ ] 4.2 Confirm `FileFixtureFetcher` satisfies `FetcherInterface` structurally - [ ] Task 5: Update `tests/fixtures/aircraft_sample.json` with realistic dump1090 data (AC: #1, #2, #4, #5) - [ ] 5.1 Replace the empty `{"aircraft": []}` stub with a JSON object containing four aircraft entries: - Entry 1: complete aircraft — all fields present (`hex`, `lat`, `lon`, `flight`, `altitude`, `category`, `mlat: []`) - Entry 2: missing `flight` (callsign) — should default to `""` - Entry 3: missing `altitude` — should default to `altitude_ft=0` - Entry 4: MLAT aircraft — `mlat` is a non-empty list (e.g. `["lat", "lon"]`) - [ ] 5.2 Ensure all four entries have `lat` and `lon` so none are skipped - [ ] Task 6: Write tests in `tests/test_fetcher.py` covering all 5 ACs (AC: #1–#5) - [ ] 6.1 Test AC1: use `responses` library or `unittest.mock.patch` to mock `requests.get`; assert all fields on a fully-populated aircraft are correct - [ ] 6.2 Test AC2: mock a response with missing `callsign`, `altitude`, `category`; assert defaults are applied and no exception raised - [ ] 6.3 Test AC3: mock `requests.get` to raise `requests.Timeout`; assert `HttpFetcher.fetch()` propagates it (does not catch it) - [ ] 6.4 Test AC4: mock a response where the MLAT aircraft has `"mlat": ["lat", "lon"]`; assert `is_mlat=True` - [ ] 6.5 Test AC5: point `FileFixtureFetcher` at `tests/fixtures/aircraft_sample.json`; assert the expected `list[Aircraft]` is returned with no `requests.get` call made - [ ] Task 7: Update `tests/test_models.py` — verify dataclass (AC: #1, #2) - [ ] 7.1 Confirm `test_aircraft_defaults` and `test_aircraft_full` (already present from story 1.1 QA) still pass after the full dataclass is in place — no stub test needed, these are real assertions - [ ] 7.2 Add a test for the `altitude` edge-case if not already covered: create `Aircraft(icao="X", lat=0.0, lon=0.0, altitude_ft=0)` and assert `altitude_ft == 0` - [ ] Task 8: Run quality gates - [ ] 8.1 `pytest tests/` — all tests pass, 0 failures - [ ] 8.2 `ruff check .` — zero violations - [ ] 8.3 `ruff format --check .` — no formatting issues ## Dev Notes ### Critical Context **DUMP1090_URL constant:** Add to `src/planemapper/constants.py`: ```python DUMP1090_URL = "http://localhost:8080/data/aircraft.json" ``` `FETCH_TIMEOUT_S = 5` is already present in `constants.py` — do not duplicate it. **Aircraft dataclass — already partially stubbed:** `src/planemapper/models.py` already contains the full `Aircraft` dataclass as specified in the architecture. Verify it matches exactly before replacing. The `test_models.py` tests (`test_aircraft_defaults`, `test_aircraft_full`) are also already in place from story 1.1 and test the real dataclass — confirm they pass. **`altitude` edge case:** dump1090 can return `altitude` as an integer (feet), the string `"ground"`, or omit the field entirely. The safe pattern: ```python raw_alt = entry.get("altitude", 0) altitude_ft = int(raw_alt) if isinstance(raw_alt, int) else 0 ``` Do NOT do `int(str_val)` — the string `"ground"` will raise `ValueError`. **`flight` field whitespace:** dump1090 pads callsigns with trailing spaces (e.g. `"BAW123 "`). Always `.strip()`: ```python callsign = entry.get("flight", "").strip() ``` **MLAT detection:** ```python is_mlat = bool(entry.get("mlat")) ``` An empty list `[]` is falsy → `False`. A non-empty list `["lat", "lon"]` is truthy → `True`. A missing key defaults to `None` → `False`. **Aircraft entries without position:** Some dump1090 entries lack `lat`/`lon` (e.g. aircraft heard only via Mode S squawk with no ADS-B position). Skip them — they cannot be rendered on the map: ```python if "lat" not in entry or "lon" not in entry: continue ``` **FetcherInterface is a Protocol — no explicit inheritance:** `HttpFetcher` and `FileFixtureFetcher` satisfy `FetcherInterface` structurally. Do NOT write `class HttpFetcher(FetcherInterface)` — `Protocol` subclassing for implementation is an antipattern in Python typing. **Shared parse logic:** Both `HttpFetcher` and `FileFixtureFetcher` must use the same `_parse_aircraft(entry: dict) -> Aircraft` helper. Do not duplicate field-mapping logic between the two classes. **Test isolation for `FileFixtureFetcher`:** In the AC5 test, pass the actual path to `tests/fixtures/aircraft_sample.json`. Use `pathlib.Path(__file__).parent / "fixtures" / "aircraft_sample.json"` to get an absolute path that works regardless of the working directory when pytest is invoked. **Mock strategy for `HttpFetcher` tests:** Use `unittest.mock.patch("planemapper.fetcher.requests.get")` to intercept the HTTP call. Configure the mock's return value with `.json.return_value = {"aircraft": [...]}`. For the timeout test, use `side_effect=requests.Timeout`. **dump1090 JSON shape (top-level):** ```json { "aircraft": [ { "hex": "4ca7f2", "lat": 53.3498, "lon": -6.2603, "flight": "EIN123 ", "altitude": 12000, "category": "A3", "mlat": [] } ] } ``` **Fixture file — recommended four-entry shape:** ```json { "aircraft": [ { "hex": "4ca7f2", "lat": 53.3498, "lon": -6.2603, "flight": "EIN123 ", "altitude": 12000, "category": "A3", "mlat": [] }, { "hex": "4001a1", "lat": 53.4200, "lon": -6.1100, "altitude": 5000, "category": "A1", "mlat": [] }, { "hex": "4002b2", "lat": 53.2800, "lon": -6.4000, "flight": "RYR456 ", "category": "A3", "mlat": [] }, { "hex": "4003c3", "lat": 53.5000, "lon": -5.9000, "flight": "MIL001 ", "altitude": 1500, "category": "B1", "mlat": ["lat", "lon"] } ] } ```
