Description

Addresses #2378.

Use newton.examples.get_examples() as the CI coverage backstop so every
discoverable example receives a baseline CUDA/null-viewer test unless it already
has a tailored registration. This brings 15 previously uncovered examples into
the test suite while preserving existing device, dependency, argument, and
variant configurations.

Test mode now requires every example to implement a callable test_final();
test_post_step() remains an optional additional check. The development guide
documents both this contract and automatic baseline registration.

Five newly covered examples already use deprecated APIs, so this PR gives only
those examples temporary warning allowances:

  • basic.example_basic_heightfield
  • contacts.example_contacts_rj45_plug
  • vbd.example_vbd_rigid_rigid_contact
  • vbd.example_vbd_soft_rigid_contact
  • vbd.example_vbd_soft_rigid_mix_contact

A follow-up PR will migrate these five examples off the deprecated APIs and
remove the allowances again. This PR intentionally does not strengthen existing
example-specific physics assertions; those can follow in separate reviewable
batches.

Checklist

  • New or existing tests cover these changes
  • The documentation is up to date with these changes
  • This is not a user-facing change, so no changelog fragment is required

Test plan

uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k TestAutoDiscoveredExamples --strict-warnings --no-cache-clear
# 15 passed in 194.930s

uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k test_example_runner --strict-warnings --no-cache-clear
# 4 passed

uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k TestViewerGLLoadingSplashState --strict-warnings --no-cache-clear
# 3 passed

uvx --python 3.12 pre-commit run -a
# passed

uv run --extra docs sphinx-build -W --keep-going -b html docs /tmp/newton-example-cleanup-docs
# passed

Also built and inspected the wheel outside the source tree: it contained all
108 examples, and importing the installed-wheel layout generated the expected
15 baseline tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified that every example must provide a final test, while post-step tests remain optional.
    • Documented automatic baseline CUDA testing for discovered examples.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Test mode now consistently runs each example’s final validation and flags missing final tests.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for viewer splash behavior and final-test enforcement.
    • Added automatic discovery and execution of examples not explicitly registered.

Use example discovery as the CI coverage backstop while preserving tailored registrations. Require test_final() in test mode and document the contract.

Temporarily allow existing deprecation warnings for five newly covered examples. A follow-up will migrate them and remove the allowances.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The example runner now requires test_final(), while test_post_step() remains optional. The test suite automatically covers discovered examples with baseline CUDA tests and retains explicit registration for customized cases.

Changes

Example testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner contract and lifecycle
docs/guide/development.rst, newton/examples/__init__.py, newton/tests/test_example_runner.py, newton/tests/test_viewer_loading_splash.py
Documentation and runner logic require callable test_final(). Lifecycle tests cover splash behavior and missing final tests.
Automatic example discovery
docs/guide/development.rst, newton/tests/test_examples.py
The test suite records explicit registrations and adds CUDA viewer tests for undiscovered examples, with an allowlist for deprecation warnings.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to be233

This change expands automated example testing and makes final-test implementation mandatory; the remaining risk is that maintainers may not receive the required migration guidance or release-note notice, so it is mergeable with explicit documentation follow-up.

Add coverage for successful test_final() execution.

Add a test-mode example with a mock test_final(). Assert that run() calls it after the viewer stops. The current test only verifies the missing-hook failure path.
