The goal is to build kicad with wasm and run it in a browser
|
|
|
|
|
The original research docs are in /docs
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
The e2e tests are separated per feature
|
|
|
|
|
The tests depend on canvas, there's an app to find button positions, use that, don't find buttons by estimating pixels
|
|
|
|
|
The test have screenshots that are tracked with git, use compare-screenshots.sh to see what changed, update them when a new image is added
|
Add KiCad WASM build infrastructure and dependency scripts
- Add build environment setup (scripts/common/env.sh, versions.sh, functions.sh)
- Add dependency build scripts for Zstd, GLM, FreeType, HarfBuzz, Pixman, Cairo
- Add placeholder scripts for OpenCASCADE, ngspice, protobuf
- Add WASM compatibility layer (wasm/kiplatform/, wasm/libcontext/)
- Add CMake modules for KiCad WASM cross-compilation
- Add PCBnew test infrastructure (tests/kicad/)
- Add build plan documentation
Successfully tested builds: Zstd 1.5.5, GLM 0.9.9.8, FreeType 2.13.2,
HarfBuzz 8.3.0, Pixman 0.42.2, Cairo 1.18.0

The tests have log files after each run where the js console and cpp logs are visible
|
|
|
|
|
Always check screenshots for validating tests

|
Our current goal is to test every wxwidgets feature kicad uses, write the wasm layer and e2e tests, documented in WHATWORKS
|
|
|
|
|
Never run builds manually, we have scripts that run the builds in the /scripts folder
|
|
|
|
|
Build wxwidgets and tests with scripts, not manually
|
|
|
|
|
Don't change the wxwidgets core unless absolutely necessary, try to fix things in the wasm layer
|
|
|
|
|
Don't try to guess what's broken in wxwidgets, use debug tools / symbols, supported by the build script
