The goal is to build kicad with wasm and run it in a browser README.md details how to run the project
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 Wxwidgets wasm port has hooks for finding positions of UI elements, tests use that The test have screenshots that are tracked with git, use compare-screenshots.sh to see what changed Update test images with /scripts/update-baseline-screenshots.sh when a new image is added The tests have log files in tests/logs/{wxwidgets/kicad}/{test-name} after each run where the js console and cpp logs are visible Always check screenshots for validating tests
Build wxwidgets with scripts/build-wxuniversal-wasm.sh Build kicad with docker/build.sh Build CPP wxwidgets tests with scripts/builds-wasm-test.sh
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.
Don't try to guess what's broken , use debug tools / symbols, supported by the build scripts
