2025-12-03 10:19:50 +01:00
A lot of native module have to be compiled to wasm, the most complex is wxwidgets
/kicad and /wxwidgets are git submodules from our own forks
The e2e tests are in /tests, with a README and WHATWORKS md files
2026-07-07 10:50:24 +02:00
Test determinism rules (no blind sleeps/ifs, `stableShot` screenshots, retries:0) are in tests/TESTING.md, enforced by `npm run lint:determinism` .
2025-12-03 10:19:50 +01:00
The e2e tests are separated per feature
2026-01-05 11:16:46 +01:00
Wxwidgets wasm port has hooks for finding positions of UI elements, tests use that

Squash of experiment/ff-big-modules vs main.
Big-module routing removed: native-EH shrank kicad_editor below
SpiderMonkey's x86-64 code budget (runs 29355049705/29356152413 green on
stock Firefox), so BIG_MODULE_SPECS routing and the baseline-only-JIT
crutch are gone — kicad-firefox and kicad-chromium both run the full
suite, with the module compiled the way real users' browsers compile it.
Per-engine screenshots end to end: stableShot/shotPath write
test-results/<engine>/<name>.png; baselines move to
baseline-screenshots/{chromium,firefox}/ and the whole tools/screenshots
pipeline (compare/promote/manifest/spec-map/changelog/Discord) keys on
<engine>/<name>. Previously Firefox and Chromium renders of one spec
overwrote each other and Firefox renders were never actually gated.
Seeded from CI run 29421380806 (92 new firefox baselines, +24 chromium
web-suite shots); manifest generated from the baseline tree.
One merged playwright.config.ts (kicad/asyncify/coroutine/perf as
projects); ~25 dead npm scripts dropped. The web suite is gated in CI for
the first time ever (4 rotted specs fixed, 5 broken lib-bridge specs
triaged as fixme in docs/features/web-e2e-rot/); cheap lint step after
npm ci; last 26 blind-sleep violations fixed.
SwiftShader retired: CI Chromium renders WebGL on ANGLE → Mesa llvmpipe
(--use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl --ignore-gpu-blocklist; the blocklist flag
is mandatory — llvmpipe is blocklisted and WebGL is silently unavailable
without it) in BOTH configs. Under WORKERS=4 congestion SwiftShader
transiently failed the first post-board-load draw and the recovery
cascade ended in a silent permanent Cairo fallback — that engine flip was
the "~1.2% changedRatio both directions" occ-export baseline flake.
Validated 160/160 across two 80-repeat rigs; full analysis in
docs/features/wx-parity-bugs/occ-export-context-eviction.md. Chromium
baselines shift slightly on llvmpipe — promote once from the first green
run. Deflakes the new coverage exposed: presence baselines settle before
capture; presence fixtures declare current file formats; perf gets its
own outputDir so CI evidence survives; occ-export settles the board paint
before the export dialog; menu-item waits (waitForRenderedByLabel before
clickMenuItem) in 4 specs + the TESTING.md rule.
Web suite runs the PROD build, in parallel: webServer becomes backend
`start` + the standalone's e2e:preview (build-preview.mjs: link-wasm →
stash the public/wasm symlink aside during vite build, build-demo.mjs's
move — then vite preview as the persistent server). The wasm middleware
serves /wasm/* in preview and emits COOP/COEP/CORP itself (a pthread
worker script's own response must carry COEP or Chrome kills it with
ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE). VITE_* flags bake at build time;
VITE_ALLOW_USER_OVERRIDE joins turbo globalEnv. fullyParallel + default
workers: 5.2m → 1.4m. Determinism fixes the parallel run exposed:
shared-page specs become serial groups; locks.spec grabs alice's exact
item via the new kicadCollabTestSelectByUuid hook (cross-tab "first
footprint" order is not a ysync invariant); quit specs poll page.url()
(quit supersedes its own navigation — NS_BINDING_ABORTED on Firefox).
Suite: 51 passed / 12 skipped / 0 failed in 1.6m.
CI-coverage gate (lint:ci-coverage): every tests/**/*.spec.ts must be
reachable from the npm scripts the workflows invoke — scraped from
.github/workflows/, resolved through package.json, coverage asked from
playwright --list itself. Rules: uncovered-spec + orphan-project (with a
documented LOCAL_ONLY_PROJECTS allowlist). Gating next to
lint:determinism; 138 spec files / 13 projects accounted for.
Product fixes kept from the investigations (reachable on real GPUs too):
wx 7799fd1be5 — paint flags clear before dispatch + Invalidate always
propagates; kicad 3dcfea5e45 — SwiftShader pass-boundary flush +
per-instance font texture + first-frame GL-error drain (GAL recovery
recovers instead of falling back to Cairo) + the user-facing eeschema
switch navigates again under __EMSCRIPTEN__ (project-sync's
FaceRegistered gate had rerouted it into the hidden sync player; caught
by the newly-gated web suite).

The test screenshots are tracked with git, per engine (tests/baseline-screenshots/{chromium,firefox}/); CI's Linux render is the source of truth (tooling: tests/tools/screenshots/, see its README).
2026-07-01 18:01:15 +02:00
To update baselines, promote a CI run's render (churn-free — only meaningfully-changed images restage): `cd tests && npm run screenshots:promote -- --run <ci-run-id>` , then commit. `npm run screenshots:check` is the local gate; on each main push CI posts a screenshot-diff + runtime-perf report to Discord.
2026-01-05 11:16:46 +01:00
The tests have log files in tests/logs/{wxwidgets/kicad}/{test-name} after each run where the js console and cpp logs are visible

Don't change the wxwidgets core unless absolutely necessary, try to fix things in the wasm layer.
Don't change kicad unless absolutely necessary - keep our fork as close to upstream as possible.
Run scripts/kicad-diff-stats.sh to see how far our KiCad fork has diverged from upstream.
It's okay to add temporary logging that will be removed for debugging.

feat(site): move the marketing site from Vercel to Cloudflare Pages
www.pcbjam.com was the last piece of the stack on Vercel. It is now a
Cloudflare Pages project (pcbjam-site) deployed by deploy-site.yml on
every push to main touching site/** — content must not wait for a
release tag.
The Astro adapter is gone entirely: the build is pure static and the one
dynamic route, /api/waitlist, is a Pages Function. Going adapter-free
(rather than swapping in @astrojs/cloudflare, which has dropped Pages
support and only targets Workers) removes three problems at once — no
Astro/adapter major-version coupling, Footer.astro's build-time execSync
keeps working because prerendering stays in Node, and image optimisation
stays plain build-time sharp with no Cloudflare Images binding.
Verified against a real Pages runtime (wrangler pages dev): 21/21 parity
probes pass, versus 19/21 on live Vercel. The scripted runbook is in
deploy/site/ — every mutating step is dry-run by default.
Four behaviour differences were found by measurement and are handled here:
- The blog post's COOP/COEP was already broken in production. vercel.json
scoped the headers to the bare URL, but the page's own canonical is the
trailing-slash form, which served 200 with no isolation headers — so
search arrivals lost SharedArrayBuffer and the embedded Gerber viewer
degraded. public/_headers covers both forms.
- Pages answers unknown URLs with the homepage at HTTP 200 when the
output has no 404.html — a soft-404 that invites indexing junk URLs as
the homepage. Hence src/pages/404.astro.
- Vercel's edge refused cross-site form POSTs ("Cross-site POST form
submissions are forbidden"); Pages does not, and a cross-site <form>
submit needs no CORS permission to be sent, so the allowlist cannot
stop it. The Function reproduces the guard; JSON posts stay exempt as
that is demo.pcbjam.com's allowlisted path.
- Cache-Control: immutable on /_astro/* came from the Vercel adapter's
generated route config, so it is now an explicit _headers rule.
Secrets move to `wrangler pages secret put --project-name pcbjam-site`
(RESEND_API_KEY, RESEND_SEGMENT_ID, WAITLIST_FROM_EMAIL);
WAITLIST_ALLOWED_ORIGINS stays unset so the allowlist stays in code.
Local dev reads .dev.vars, now gitignored — the root repo's **/.dev.vars
does not cover a nested git repo.
privacy.md and cookies.md named Vercel as a GDPR Art. 28 processor; those
mentions are removed and the existing Cloudflare entry widened to cover
website hosting.

The landing page / website is in /site (Astro, static, deployed to Cloudflare Pages
by .github/workflows/deploy-site.yml on every push to main touching site/**).
It has no Astro adapter; the one dynamic route (/api/waitlist) is a Cloudflare
Pages Function in site/functions/. Prod response headers come from
site/public/_headers (COOP/COEP for the embedded Gerber viewer — never widen
them to /*, the landing page must stay un-isolated for the YouTube embed).
The footer shows a build SHA that links to the pcbjam commit the site was built
from; because it pins the kicad + wxwidgets submodule revisions implicitly, it is
our GPLv3 corresponding-source pointer (see /licenses). It resolves automatically
at build time in site/src/components/Footer.astro (CF_PAGES_COMMIT_SHA / GITHUB_SHA
in CI, `git rev-parse` locally) — no manual bump needed.
chore(deploy/site): retire the migration scaffolding, keep the health check
The Vercel -> Cloudflare Pages move is done and the Vercel project is
deleted, so the one-shot scripts have no remaining purpose. Nothing in CI
ever called them — deploy-site.yml runs npm ci / test / build / pages
deploy inline — so this removes 10 files and orphans nothing.
Deleted: 00-baseline (refused to run without x-vercel-id, so permanently
unrunnable), 01-preflight (proved Vercel state and API-token scopes),
07-dns-cutover (the phased cutover; in the end the records were attached
through the dashboard, and the rules/apex phases went unused once we chose
APEX_MODE=serve), 09-detach-vercel (its target project is gone), plus
03-ensure-project, 04-set-secrets, 05-deploy, 06-verify-deploy,
02-verify-local and 99-rollback, all either spent or duplicating CI. Their
lib/cf-api.sh went with them: the survivors use wrangler, so the whole
remaining path needs only `wrangler login` and no zone scopes.
What is kept is the part with ongoing value: lib/parity.sh, the assertion
set that caught five real defects during the migration — the live COOP/COEP
bug on the post's canonical URL, the soft-404 Pages would have introduced,
the cross-site form-POST guard Vercel had been providing for free, the
missing immutable header, and HSTS max-age=0. "Does the page return 200"
catches none of those.
08-verify-prod.sh becomes verify.sh, since the numbered sequence it
belonged to no longer exists. It drops the stamp machinery, the dry-run
plumbing and the Vercel-fallback messaging (there is no fallback now:
recovery is promoting a previous Pages deployment), and gains --skip-dns /
--skip-domains so it can be pointed at a single deployment via PROD_BASE
before promoting it.
The README is rewritten around the four invariants that fail SILENTLY —
never widen _headers to /*, keep both URL forms of the Gerber post, never
delete 404.astro, keep the cross-site form-POST guard — each with the
reason, since the reason is the only thing that stops someone simplifying
them back out.
Verified after: 21 probes, 20 pass, 1 warn (HSTS max-age is 6 months vs
Vercel's 2 years — on, just shorter), 0 fail.
