# KiCad WASM Tests
Playwright tests for verifying the wxWidgets WASM port.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Emscripten SDK (for building)
## Building the Test App
```bash
../scripts/build-wasm-test.sh
```
2025-12-27 14:06:23 +01:00
This builds `apps/minimal_test.{html,js,wasm}` and standalone test apps.
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
## Running Tests
```bash
npm install
2026-06-13 14:10:05 +02:00
npm test # wx e2e specs + the asyncify race harness
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
```
2026-06-13 14:10:05 +02:00
KiCad application tests are a separate, heavier suite (they need the
docker-built KiCad WASM): `npm run test:kicad` . Run only the wx e2e specs with
`npm run test:wx` .
2025-11-29 20:54:54 +01:00
To run specific tests:
```bash
npx playwright test menu.spec.ts # Run menu tests only
npx playwright test --grep "wxTimer" # Run tests matching pattern
```

## Logging
Each test automatically captures:
- Console logs with timestamps and log levels
- Page errors with full stack traces
Log files are written to `logs/` after each test:
- `<test-name>.log` - All console output
- `<test-name>.errors.log` - Errors only (created if errors occurred)
Example log format:
```
[2025-11-29T19:39:42.165Z] [LOG] [EVENT] Application started
[2025-11-29T19:39:42.733Z] [WARNING] GPU stall due to ReadPixels
[2025-11-29T19:39:42.801Z] [ERROR] Some error message
```
## Screenshots
Tests capture screenshots to `test-results/` . Compare against baselines:
```bash
../scripts/compare-screenshots.sh
```
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
## Viewing the App Directly
2025-12-27 14:06:23 +01:00
Start a local server in the apps directory:
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
```bash
2025-12-27 14:06:23 +01:00
cd apps
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
npx serve .
```
Then open http://localhost:3000/minimal_test.html in your browser.
Alternative using Python:
```bash
2025-12-27 14:06:23 +01:00
cd apps
2025-11-28 13:10:05 +01:00
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
Then open http://localhost:8000/minimal_test.html

## Debugging WASM Crashes
When a test fails with a WASM crash (e.g., "memory access out of bounds"), you can build with debug symbols to get meaningful stack traces:
### Debug Build
```bash
# Build test apps with DWARF symbols and source maps
../scripts/build-wasm-test.sh --debug
```
This enables:
- `-g` for DWARF debug info
- `-gsource-map` for browser source maps
- `-O0` for no optimization (preserves debugging context)
### Reading Stack Traces
With a debug build, WASM stack traces show actual function names:
**Before (release build):**
```
RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds
at wasm-function[102]:0xfdf8
at wasm-function[99]:0xe6e0
```
**After (debug build):**
```
RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds
at grid_test.wasm.GridTestFrame::LogEvent(wxString const&)
at grid_test.wasm.GridTestFrame::OnGridCellSelect(wxGridEvent&)
at grid_test.wasm.wxEventFunctorMethod<...>::operator()
```
### Using LLVM Tools
For deeper analysis, use Emscripten's LLVM tools:
```bash
LLVM_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emscripten/4.0.20/libexec/llvm/bin"
# Check if WASM has DWARF info
2025-12-27 14:06:23 +01:00
$LLVM_DIR/llvm-dwarfdump --debug-info apps/standalone/grid/grid_test.wasm
2025-11-29 22:15:56 +01:00
# Disassemble with function names
$LLVM_DIR/llvm-objdump -d grid_test.wasm | head -200
```

## Element Registry (Recommended)
2025-12-03 10:19:50 +01:00
2025-12-29 12:11:33 +01:00
The wxWidgets WASM port includes an element registry that tracks all wxWindow instances with their positions, labels, and types. This enables tests to find UI elements by semantic identifiers instead of hardcoded pixel coordinates.
### Usage
```typescript
import { waitForRegistry, clickByLabel, findByLabel, findByType } from './utils/fixtures';
// Wait for registry to be available
await waitForRegistry(page);
// Click buttons by label text
await clickByLabel(page, 'Copy to Clipboard');
await clickByLabel(page, 'Save File...');
// Find elements for inspection
const button = await findByLabel(page, 'OK');
if (button) {
console.log(`Button at (${button.centerX}, ${button.centerY})` );
}
// Find all elements of a type
const buttons = await findByType(page, 'wxButton');
```
### Available Functions
| Function | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `waitForRegistry(page)` | Wait for element registry to initialize |
| `findByLabel(page, label, options?)` | Find element by label text |
| `findByName(page, name, options?)` | Find element by wxWindow name |
| `findByType(page, typeName, options?)` | Find all elements of a type (e.g., 'wxButton') |
| `clickByLabel(page, label, options?)` | Click element by label |
| `clickByName(page, name, options?)` | Click element by name |
### Options
```typescript
interface FindOptions {
visible?: boolean; // Filter by visibility (default: true)
enabled?: boolean; // Filter by enabled state
exact?: boolean; // Exact label match (default: substring)
type?: string; // Filter by type name
}
```
### When to Use
Use the element registry for tests that click on **wxButton ** and other wxWindow-based controls. The registry tracks:
- wxButton, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText, wxPanel, wxFrame, etc.
**Not trackable** (use pixel coordinates instead):
- wxToolBar tool items (rendered by toolbar)
- wxMenuBar menu items (rendered by menu system)
- wxAuiManager panel controls (title bars, close buttons)
- wxGrid cells (rendered by grid)
- wxSplitterWindow sash (rendered by splitter)
### Migrated Tests
These tests use the element registry:
- `clipboard.spec.ts` - Copy, Paste, Check, Clear buttons
- `dialog.spec.ts` - Info, Yes/No, Error, Custom dialog buttons
- `timer.spec.ts` - Start, Stop, Reset buttons
- `filedialog.spec.ts` - Open, Save, Open Multiple buttons
- `logerror.spec.ts` - Trigger Error, Flush Log buttons

| `END_X` | canvas width | X coordinate to end scanning |
| `START_Y` | `0` | Y coordinate to start scanning |

### Output
The utility outputs:
- Button positions with labels (from console log keywords)
- Generated test code snippets
- Results JSON file at `test-results/button-finder-results.json`
Example output:
```
RESULTS: Found 4 buttons
Button positions (relative to canvas):
Copy at (352, 196)
Log: [CLIPBOARD_EVENT] Attempting to copy text to clipboard...
Paste at (600, 196)
Log: [CLIPBOARD_EVENT] Attempting to paste from clipboard...
```

## Known Issues
- **Timer tests**: May fail due to timing sensitivity
- **Tree tests**: Button click positions may vary

## Open tasks
- **Research: are the Asyncify fiber shims still needed under native-EH?** Two
`scripts/common/inject-dyncall-shims.sh` fixes — the fiber trampoline self-heal
(§3c) and the nested-Asyncify handleSleep save/restore (§3) — were written for the
legacy-EH * park-throw * model. Under native wasm-EH the top loop is a per-frame-yield
while-loop with no park-throw, so ablating either shim
(`SHIM_DISABLE_TRAMPOLINE_HEAL` / `SHIM_DISABLE_HANDLESLEEP` , wired in
`tests/apps/Makefile.wasm` ) no longer reproduces the disease it guarded — the old
red "ablation pins" in `asyncify/asyncify-races.spec.ts` have been flipped to
green "shim-redundancy pins" that now prove the native-EH path stays clean *with the
shim ablated*. **To do: ** sweep the real apps (modals, nested fibers, long sleeps,
pthread pool) with each shim ablated; if all stay green, drop the shim injection and
these pins. Until proven, they stay injected (belt-and-suspenders).
