load test task config: %w

Error message

load test task config: %w

What it means

This error wraps a failure from testconnection.LoadDefault, which loads the built-in default test-conversation task used by `ocr llm test`. This is an internal fixture/config load, so failure usually means the embedded task resource is unavailable or an on-disk override of the test task is unreadable or malformed.

Solutions

1. If you overrode the test task file, fix its syntax/fields to match the expected schema.
2. Delete or rename your custom test-task override so the built-in default loads.
3. Reinstall/rebuild the binary to restore the embedded default task.
4. Read the wrapped cause after 'load test task config:' for the exact parse error and line.

Example fix

// before (test task missing messages)
timeout = 30
// after
timeout = 30
[[messages]]
role = "user"
content = "Say hello."

task, err := testconnection.LoadDefault()
if err != nil {
    // fall back to a minimal built-in probe instead of failing
    task = &testconnection.Task{Timeout: 30, Messages: []testconnection.Message{{Role: "user", Content: "ping"}}}
}

task, err := testconnection.LoadDefault()
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("load test task config: %w", err)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `ocr llm test` when testconnection.LoadDefault() returns an error — e.g. a custom test-task file overriding the default is missing fields, has invalid syntax, or the embedded default cannot be unmarshalled.

Common situations: Users who customized the test task file and introduced a schema error; packaging/bundling issues in development builds where embedded assets are absent.
