mrleemurrayandCopilot eab0bd1aa9 test: cover GPU lifecycle with real Electron integration
Replace the simulated GPU lifecycle, telemetry, and compositing unit suites with isolated native GPU crashes and renderer IPC. Cover early and late initialization, recovery, reconnects, hardware-disabled startup, and disposal.

The runtime test also exposed Graphite's enabled_on status and provisional disabled startup snapshots. Observe Graphite until it is enabled before installing crash telemetry.

Unit Tests

Run (inside Electron)

./scripts/test.[sh|bat]

All unit tests are run inside a Electron renderer environment which access to DOM and Nodejs api. This is the closest to the environment in which VS Code itself ships. Notes:

  • use the --dev to see an electron window with dev tools which allows for debugging
  • to run only a subset of tests use the --run or --glob options
  • use npm run watch to automatically compile changes

For instance, ./scripts/test.sh --debug --glob **/extHost*.test.js runs all tests from extHost-files and enables you to debug them.

Run (inside browser)

npm run test-browser -- --browser webkit --browser chromium

Unit tests from layers common and browser are run inside chromium, webkit, and (soon'ish) firefox (using playwright). This complements our electron-based unit test runner and adds more coverage of supported platforms. Notes:

  • these tests are part of the continuous build, that means you might have test failures that only happen with webkit on windows or chromium on linux
  • you can run these tests locally via npm run test-browser -- --browser chromium --browser webkit
  • to debug, open <vscode>/test/unit/browser/renderer.html inside a browser and use the ?m=<amd_module>-query to specify what AMD module to load, e.g file:///Users/jrieken/Code/vscode/test/unit/browser/renderer.html?m=vs/base/test/common/strings.test runs all tests from strings.test.ts
  • to run only a subset of tests use the --run or --glob options

Note: you can enable verbose logging of playwright library by setting a DEBUG environment variable before running the tests (https://playwright.dev/docs/debug#verbose-api-logs)

Run (with node)

npm run test-node -- --run src/vs/editor/test/browser/controller/cursor.test.ts

Coverage

The following command will create a coverage folder in the .build folder at the root of the workspace:

OS X and Linux

./scripts/test.sh --coverage

Windows

scripts\test --coverage
