roblourensandCopilot 0f965831de Fix Agent Host hook scripts and offline Electron test setup (#339430)
* agentHost: run plugin hook fixtures with Node instead of Electron

Use the npm Node executable or the pinned toolchain Node from PATH for hook scripts. This avoids requiring Chromium user namespaces in the AWF container while preserving every hook assertion.

* test: disable session spellchecker downloads in Electron runner

Clear spellchecker languages and disable the default session spellchecker before test window creation. The window already disables spellchecking, but the session could still fetch dictionaries and trigger the AWF TLS-denial crash.

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
