Running Tests

To reproduce a CI failure, see the section on Running with Sanitizers.

The simplest way to run tests locally is to use the default preset from CMakePresets.json:

cmake --preset default
cmake --build --preset default
ctest --preset default

If you want to avoid building and running LibWeb tests, you can use a Lagom-only build. For a Lagom-only build, pass the Lagom source directory to CMake. The BUILD_LAGOM CMake option is required.

cmake -GNinja -S Meta/Lagom -B Build/lagom -DBUILD_LAGOM=ON

The tests can be run via ninja after doing a build. Note that test-js requires the LADYBIRD_SOURCE_DIR environment variable to be set to the root of the ladybird source tree.

# /path/to/ladybird repository
export LADYBIRD_SOURCE_DIR=${PWD}
cd Build/lagom
ninja
ninja test

To see the stdout/stderr output of failing tests, the recommended way is to set the environment variable CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE to 1.

CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 ninja test

# or, using ctest directly...
ctest --output-on-failure

Running with Sanitizers

CI runs host tests with Address Sanitizer and Undefined Sanitizer instrumentation enabled. These tools catch many classes of common C++ errors, including memory leaks, out of bounds access to stack and heap allocations, and signed integer overflow. For more info on the sanitizers, check out the Address Sanitizer wiki page, or the Undefined Sanitizer documentation from clang.

Note that a sanitizer build will take significantly longer than a non-sanitizer build, and will mess with caches in tools such as ccache. The sanitizers can be enabled with the -DENABLE_FOO_SANITIZER set of flags.

The simplest way to enable sanitizers is to use the Sanitizer preset.

cmake --preset Sanitizer
cmake --build --preset Sanitizer
ctest --preset Sanitizer

Or from a Lagom build:

To ensure that the test behaves the same way as CI, make sure to set the ASAN_OPTIONS and UBSAN_OPTIONS appropriately. The Sanitizer test preset already sets these environment variables.

export ASAN_OPTIONS='strict_string_checks=1:check_initialization_order=1:strict_init_order=1:detect_stack_use_after_return=1:allocator_may_return_null=1'
export UBSAN_OPTIONS='print_stacktrace=1:print_summary=1:halt_on_error=1'
cmake -GNinja -S Meta/Lagom -B Build/lagom -DBUILD_LAGOM=ON -DENABLE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER=ON -DENABLE_UNDEFINED_SANITIZER=ON
cd Build/lagom
ninja
CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 LADYBIRD_SOURCE_DIR=${PWD}/../.. ninja test
