fix: allow work item search to raise the 10-result cap - #73
ChrisThompsonTLDR wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
`WorkItems.search()` accepts `RetrieveQueryParams`, which carries only
expand/fields/external_id/external_source/order_by. The search endpoint
itself supports a `limit`, but there is no way to send one through the SDK:
`BaseQueryParams` is `extra="ignore"`, so a caller who passes `limit`
anyway has it silently dropped.
The result is that `search()` can never return more than the API default of
10 rows. The response carries no total and no truncation marker, and search
is not cursor paginated, so a caller cannot tell a complete result set from
a truncated one. Ten results look exactly like "there are ten matches".
This is inconsistent with `advanced_search()`, which already models a
`limit` via `AdvancedSearchWorkItem`.
Adds `WorkItemSearchQueryParams`, following the existing endpoint-specific
params pattern (`WorkItemQueryParams`, `MemberListQueryParams`,
`WorkItemCountQueryParams`), and widens the `params` type on `search()` to
accept it. `RetrieveQueryParams` is still accepted, so existing callers are
unaffected. No change to the request-building logic was needed: the method
already merges `params.model_dump(exclude_none=True)` into the query string.
Verified against a self-hosted Plane instance (Community Edition):
query "the"
no params -> 10 results
limit=1 -> 1
limit=25 -> 25
limit=50 -> 50
Adds `test_search_work_items_respects_limit` alongside the existing search
test. Both pass against a live instance. The test is meaningful rather than
vacuous: if `limit` were ignored the endpoint would return 10 and the
`<= 1` assertion would fail.
`black` produces no changes on the touched files, and `ruff check` reports
the same 7 pre-existing findings before and after this change (shifted line
numbers only) -- no new lint errors introduced.

- Add WorkItemSearchQueryParams to query_params.__all__ (it was only added to plane.models.__all__). - Sort WorkItemSearchQueryParams after WorkItemQueryParams in the import block and __all__ of plane/models/__init__.py, matching isort. - Make the limit test non-vacuous. The previous assertion (len <= 1) would have passed even if limit were ignored, provided the query matched nothing. It now runs the unlimited search first, skips when the workspace has fewer than two matching work items, and asserts both that the limited search returns exactly one result and that it returns fewer than the unlimited search.

Thanks both — all three findings were valid and are addressed in 7fe831b. 1. 2. The limit test could pass vacuously (Copilot + CodeRabbit) — correct, and the better of the two catches. Rewritten to be two-sided. It runs the unlimited search first, skips when the workspace has fewer than two matching work items, and then asserts the limited search returns exactly one result and strictly fewer than the unlimited one: unlimited = client.work_items.search(workspace_slug, "e")
if len(unlimited.issues) < 2:
pytest.skip("workspace has too few matching work items to exercise the limit")
limited = client.work_items.search(workspace_slug, "e",
params=WorkItemSearchQueryParams(limit=1))
assert len(limited.issues) == 1
assert len(limited.issues) < len(unlimited.issues)I went with skip-on-insufficient-data rather than asserting on the outgoing request, since these are real-HTTP smoke tests with no mocking — a request-inspection assertion would be the only mocked test in the suite. Happy to switch if you'd prefer that. 3. Import ordering (Copilot, low) — correct. On the unbounded- Verification after the changes, against a self-hosted Community Edition instance:

WorkItems.search()acceptsRetrieveQueryParams, which carries onlyexpand,fields,external_id,external_sourceandorder_by. The search endpoint itself supports alimit, but there is no way to send one through the SDK —BaseQueryParamsisextra="ignore", so a caller who passeslimitanyway has it silently dropped.So

Because the response carries no total and no truncation marker, and search is not cursor paginated, a caller cannot distinguish a complete result set from a truncated one — ten results look exactly like "there are ten matches".This is also inconsistent with
advanced_search(), which already models alimitthroughAdvancedSearchWorkItem.It has a practical cost: consumers conclude that search is unreliable and fall back to listing and filtering client-side. We hit exactly that — a "Plane search can't be trusted for dedup" rule that turned out to be this cap.
