Two harness fixes, both paid for by hours of chasing product bugs that were not there.
ROUNDED RECTANGLE. It is the shape the user reported and the gate could not reach it:
the rectangle family binds R to CornerRect and leaves the other modes in the toolbar
flyout, so the three-step Width -> Height -> Radius chain was never exercised.
rung_rounded_rect() arms it over MCP the way the offer menu does. The verb id is the
OFFER id `sk_rect_rounded` — `design_rect_rounded` is the ACTION name, run_verb
throws on it, and the tool silently stays Select; a run that misses that draws
nothing and still reaches its assertions, so the rung arms AND verifies.
THE NETWORK PLUGIN MODAL. GUI_App::post_init() re-raises "Bambu Network Plug-in
Required" from an IDLE event, after any startup sweep has closed it, and
ShowModal() runs a nested event loop: the app is alive, its window is on screen,
and the MCP socket answers nothing. That is indistinguishable from a hang and was
investigated as one, with gdb, twice — the attached stack finally read
ShowModal <- show_network_plugin_download_dialog <- post_init. Seeding
`installed_networking` false stops the whole networking path, so the dialog never
exists to be swept.
Also: check() returns its verdict, so a rung can abandon itself when a precondition
fails instead of asserting into a dead end.
38 checks hold on behemoth against e5659e0f0f.

Design-tab scripts
Everything here supports the parametric Design tab (src/libslic3r/CAD/,
src/slic3r/GUI/CAD/). Nothing here is needed to build or run OrcaSlicer — these
are the development and verification tools for that one feature.
The verb in the name is the role:
build-… |
produce a binary |
start-… |
bring something up and leave it running |
run-… |
run a suite and report pass/fail |
check-… |
one specific assertion, usually driving a live app |
Verification
| Script | What it proves | Needs |
|---|---|---|
run-kernel-tests.sh |
The CAD kernel builds and the Catch2 [CadDocument] tags pass — every case builds a document, recomputes it and asserts on real geometry. Exit 0 is the verification contract. |
Docker only. No display. |
run-all-checks.sh |
Every check below, in one command. The gate before pushing a Design-tab change. | Docker + the GUI container |
check-sketch-engine.py |
A ladder of 2D sketches of increasing complexity, judged on loop count, closure and void attribution rather than on area. | Kernel only |
check-sketch-engine-corpus.py |
The same ladder graded against a systematic sample of real drawings instead of shapes we chose. | Kernel + corpus |
check-gui-sketching.py |
The same profiles drawn the way a person draws them — synthetic mouse gestures and typed values. | Headless GUI |
check-gui-context-menu.py |
That right-click is the pivot of the design gesture, and adapts to what was clicked. | Headless GUI |
check-mcp-sketch.py |
The sketch layer driven over the MCP socket, asserting what decides whether a profile is buildable. | Headless GUI + SNAPORCA_MCP |
run-kernel-tests.sh is the only one CI can run. The rest need a live
application with an OpenGL canvas and synthetic input, which hosted runners do not
have. The kernel suite itself is already in CI by an ordinary route: the cases are
registered in tests/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt under if (SLIC3R_CAD), so they are
part of libslic3r_tests and run under ctest on every platform like any other
unit test. This script exists for the local loop, where it is a two-minute round
trip instead of a full application build.
Build and run
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
build-gui.sh |
Build the GUI binary in a throwaway container, writing into the build-cache volume the long-lived GUI container reads. |
build-gui-incremental.sh |
Incremental build against the deps-baked image, for a fast edit/compile loop. |
start-headless-gui.sh |
Bring the app up on a headless X display (Xvfb + a window manager), ready to drive or attach to over VNC. |
Two constraints that are not obvious and have each cost a session:
- Never build inside the GUI container. Its baked source tree silently reconfigures the shared build directory and this fork's targets vanish.
- A window manager is required. Without one, windows are never focused, and an unfocused GTK app ignores synthetic keys — which looks exactly like a code bug.
docs/rig_build_traps.md documents these and three more, with symptoms and exact
recovery commands. Read it before debugging a configure or link failure one of
these scripts reports.
