# Smoke / render / interaction tests The [`smoke`](../../.github/workflows/smoke.yml) workflow builds Waybar **with AddressSanitizer** and runs the real binary inside a **headless** compositor (software-rendered, no GPU) to exercise it end to end. All helpers share [`lib.sh`](lib.sh). ## What it checks | Tier | Check | Script | | --- | --- | --- | | 0 | Launches, stays alive, and logs **no ASan / `Gtk-CRITICAL` / crash** — for every launch below | [`lib.sh`](lib.sh) `assert_clean` | | — | **Coverage tripwire** — every `Factory` module must be classified (source-only, runs before the build) | [`coverage.sh`](coverage.sh) | | 1 | **Renders** — deterministic config screenshotted with `grim`, bar strip not blank | [`run.sh`](run.sh) | | 1 | **Per-module matrix** — each headless-safe module rendered standalone **and inside a group**, each torn down via SIGINT | [`modules.sh`](modules.sh) | | 2 | **Golden** — screenshot vs [`reference.png`](reference.png) (fuzz 8%, 800px) | workflow | | 2 | **Interaction** — inject pointer clicks via sway; assert `on-click` side effect + `format-alt` toggle | [`interact.sh`](interact.sh) | | 2 | **Accessibility** — assert module labels via the AT-SPI tree (robust to fonts) | [`a11y.sh`](a11y.sh) / [`a11y.py`](a11y.py) | | 3 | **Layout matrix** — top / bottom / left (vertical) + HiDPI (scale 2) | [`positions.sh`](positions.sh) | | 3 | **Second compositor** — same launch under `labwc` | workflow (`COMPOSITOR=labwc`) | | 4 | **Lifecycle / teardown** — clean SIGINT exit, runtime **output hotplug**, toggle + reload churn, fast-interval teardown (the C++ destructor path a `kill` never runs, #5182) | [`lifecycle.sh`](lifecycle.sh) | | 4 | **Custom-backend fuzz** — empty / non-zero-exit / invalid-JSON / huge / non-UTF8 / empty-format exec output | [`fuzz.sh`](fuzz.sh) | | 5 | **State transitions** *(best-effort)* — real `mpd` driven through an **empty queue** (#5183) + stop/clear, `pulseaudio` + slider on a null sink | [`state.sh`](state.sh) | | 6 | **Fake hardware** *(best-effort)* — `backlight`, `backlight/slider` (#5179) and `battery` via **umockdev** | [`hardware.sh`](hardware.sh) | | — | **Leak check** *(report-only)* — clean-exit run under LSan | [`leakcheck.sh`](leakcheck.sh) | AddressSanitizer (plus `-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS`) runs under *all* of the above, so any memory bug in the real render/teardown path aborts the run. Tiers 5–6 and the leak check are best-effort (`continue-on-error`): they depend on daemon setup / mock devices that vary by runner. The interaction step is likewise best-effort — a headless seat exposes no pointer capability, so injected clicks may be dropped (hardening it needs a virtual pointer, uinput/wlr-virtual-pointer). Because the teardown path (`~Bar` → window unmap → `toggleSuspend`) is where the exit-time crashes live, tests assert on a **clean SIGINT exit** via `smoke::assert_clean_exit` rather than killing with SIGTERM, and re-check the log for sanitizer reports emitted *during* destruction. ## Updating the reference image `reference.png` must be generated by the CI environment (local rendering differs from Ubuntu's). Two ways: - **One click:** Actions → *smoke* → **Run workflow** with `bless = true`. The job regenerates the screenshot and commits it to your branch. - **Manual:** download the `waybar-smoke` artifact from a run and commit its `bar.png` as `test/smoke/reference.png`. Do this whenever an **intended** visual change trips the golden comparison. ## Run locally On a machine with `sway`, `grim`, `imagemagick`, `jq` and Waybar built: ```sh export WAYBAR_BIN=$PWD/build/waybar ./test/smoke/coverage.sh # no compositor needed ./test/smoke/run.sh test/smoke/config.jsonc test/smoke/style.css /tmp/bar.png ./test/smoke/modules.sh /tmp/module-shots ./test/smoke/lifecycle.sh ./test/smoke/fuzz.sh ./test/smoke/interact.sh /tmp/interaction-shots ./test/smoke/positions.sh /tmp/layout-shots dbus-run-session -- ./test/smoke/a11y.sh # best-effort (need extra daemons / tools): ./test/smoke/state.sh # needs mpd + mpc, pulseaudio ./test/smoke/hardware.sh # needs umockdev ./test/smoke/leakcheck.sh ```
