When CSV or JSON capture output raises during a write, collect() skips its manual file close. The destination stays open while the exception traceback retains the frame.

Close owned files on both successful and failed output while leaving stdout open. On a write failure, suppress only a close OSError before re-raising the write error; successful writes still expose close errors. Output content and acquisition behavior remain unchanged.

Validation: two real-file regressions fail on unchanged main; four ownership/content controls pass. Review exposed a second edge case where closing failed during a write error; two additional regressions failed on the initial PR head and two success-path close-error controls passed. The current branch passes all ten new cases and 33 existing CLI, Pico SCPI and MQ135 tests (43 total). A separate review reran the focused cases. Configured Black, Flake8, Bandit and pydocstyle, wheel/sdist and Sphinx builds pass; seven existing documentation warnings remain. The updated head passes changed-file checks and packaging; scoped CLI coverage is 74.346%. This is not a whole-package coverage claim.

No physical hardware or full device integration suite was run. Partial files are closed, not deleted, and closing a file can still raise a filesystem error. Current issue comments and open patches were checked for overlap. Developed and tested with Codex assistance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cleanup of CLI output streams: files are closed after successful writes or errors, while standard output remains open. If writing fails, a cleanup error no longer replaces the original output error. Errors encountered while closing after a successful write are still reported. CSV and JSON output formats are unchanged.

Reviewer's Guide

Fixes CLI capture cleanup by context-managing owned output files and using nullcontext for stdout, ensuring files close on write failures without changing stream ownership or output behavior; adds six tests covering failure cleanup, ownership, and successful content.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Manage capture destinations with context managers while preserving stdout ownership.
  • Use a file context manager for path-based CSV/JSON output.
  • Use nullcontext around stdout so caller-owned streams are not closed.
  • Keep output formatting, acquisition, and write-error propagation unchanged.
pslab/cli.py
Add regression and control coverage for output cleanup and content preservation.
  • Verify failed CSV and JSON writes close real destination files.
  • Verify failed stdout writes leave caller streams open.
  • Verify successful files close and retain expected CSV/JSON content.

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The collect command now closes specified file output when writing fails. It suppresses cleanup OSError so the original write exception is re-raised. Successful writes still close file output, and stdout remains open.

Changes

CLI Output Stream Cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Output stream lifecycle
pslab/cli.py, tests/test_cli_output_cleanup.py
collect closes file output after successful writes and write failures. If cleanup raises OSError after a write failure, collect re-raises the write exception. Tests cover CSV and JSON output, file closure, stdout ownership, and close errors.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c0fe6

The CLI now closes capture files when output fails and keeps the original write error visible. Stdout is left open. Merge risk is minimal.

- Around line 150-165: Update the output-writing flow around `output_file` so a
close `OSError` cannot replace an active CSV or JSON write exception: close the
capture file explicitly on failure, suppress only the close error, and re-raise
the original exception. Keep normal close errors visible after successful writes
and leave `sys.stdout` open.
