Building & Testing

For internal architecture/workflow guidance, use docs/README.md at the repo root. This page stays focused on contributor-facing build and test commands.

Prerequisites

• Bun

Setup

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ksyasuda/SubMiner.git
cd SubMiner
make deps

make deps initializes submodules and installs root, stats/, and vendor/texthooker-ui dependencies. The Yomitan submodule installs its own dependencies on demand during bun run build.

Building

# Main app build
bun run build

# Platform packages
bun run build:appimage      # Linux AppImage
bun run build:mac           # macOS DMG + ZIP (signed)
bun run build:mac:unsigned  # macOS DMG + ZIP (unsigned)
bun run build:win           # Windows NSIS installer + ZIP

# Optional launcher artifact only
make build-launcher
# output: dist/launcher/subminer

bun run build includes the Yomitan build step. It builds the bundled Chrome extension directly from the vendor/subminer-yomitan submodule into build/yomitan using Bun.

Launcher Artifact Workflow

• Source of truth: launcher/*.ts
• Generated output: dist/launcher/subminer
• Do not hand-edit generated launcher output.
• Repo-root ./subminer is a stale artifact path and is rejected by verification checks.
• Install targets (make install-linux, make install-macos) copy from dist/launcher/subminer.

Verify the workflow:

make build-launcher
dist/launcher/subminer --help >/dev/null
bash scripts/verify-generated-launcher.sh

Running Locally

bun run dev    # builds + launches with --start --dev
electron . --start --dev --log-level debug   # equivalent Electron launch with verbose logging
electron . --background                       # tray/background mode, minimal default logging
make dev-start                                # build + launch via Makefile
make dev-watch                                # watch TS + renderer and launch Electron (faster edit loop)
make dev-watch-macos                          # same as dev-watch, forcing --backend macos

For mpv-plugin-driven testing without exporting SUBMINER_BINARY_PATH each run, set a one-time dev binary path with mpv.subminerBinaryPath in your SubMiner config. The launcher injects it into the mpv plugin at runtime:

{
  "mpv": {
    "subminerBinaryPath": "/absolute/path/to/SubMiner/scripts/subminer-dev.sh"
  }
}

Testing

Default lanes:

bun run test           # alias for test:fast
bun run test:fast      # default fast lane
bun run test:full      # maintained source + launcher-unit + runtime compat surface
bun run test:runtime:compat # compiled/runtime compatibility slice only
bun run test:env       # launcher/plugin + env-sensitive verification
bun run test:immersion:sqlite # SQLite persistence lane
bun run test:subtitle  # maintained alass/ffsubsync subtitle surface

• bun run test and bun run test:fast cover config/core suites plus representative entry/runtime, Anki integration, release-workflow coverage, typecheck, and runtime-registry checks.
• bun run test:full is the maintained full surface: Bun-compatible src/** discovery, Bun-compatible launcher unit discovery, and the compiled/runtime compatibility lane for suites routed through dist/**.
• bun run test:runtime:compat covers the compiled/runtime slice directly: ipc, anki-jimaku-ipc, overlay-manager, config-validation, startup-config, and registry.
• bun run test:env covers environment-sensitive checks: launcher smoke/plugin verification plus the Bun source SQLite lane.
• bun run test:immersion:sqlite is the reproducible persistence lane when you need real DB-backed SQLite coverage under Bun.

The Bun-managed discovery lanes intentionally exclude a small compiled/runtime-focused set: src/core/services/ipc.test.ts, src/core/services/anki-jimaku-ipc.test.ts, src/core/services/overlay-manager.test.ts, src/main/config-validation.test.ts, src/main/runtime/startup-config.test.ts, and src/main/runtime/registry.test.ts. bun run test:runtime:compat keeps them in the standard workflow via dist/**.

Suggested local gate before handoff:

bun run typecheck
bun run test:fast
bun run test:env
bun run build
bun run test:smoke:dist

If you changed docs in docs-site/, also run:

bun run docs:test
bun run docs:build

For production docs routing, run the versioned build:

bun run docs:build:versioned

The versioned build writes .tmp/docs-versioned-site with latest stable docs at /, development docs at /main/, and stable archives under /v/<version>/. Prerelease tags are skipped. Public assets from docs-site/public/assets are shared from root /assets/ so large demo media is not duplicated into every version archive; generated VitePress CSS and JS assets stay under each version route. Stale .tmp/docs-versioned-archive-cache generations are pruned after a successful build, and intermediate .tmp/docs-versioned-build workspaces are removed.

Focused commands:

bun run test:config       # Source-level config schema/validation tests
bun run test:launcher     # Launcher regression tests (config discovery + command routing)
bun run test:core         # Source-level core regression tests (default lane)
bun run test:launcher:smoke:src # Launcher e2e smoke: launcher -> mpv IPC -> overlay start/stop wiring
bun run test:launcher:env:src # Launcher smoke + Lua plugin gate
bun run test:src          # Bun-managed maintained src/** discovery lane
bun run test:launcher:unit:src # Bun-managed maintained launcher unit lane
bun run test:immersion:sqlite:src # Bun source lane

Dist-level tests are now an explicit smoke lane used to validate compiled/runtime assumptions.

Launcher smoke artifacts are written to .tmp/launcher-smoke locally and uploaded by CI/release workflows when the smoke step fails.

Smoke and optional deep dist commands:

bun run build                 # compile dist artifacts
bun run test:immersion:sqlite # compile + run SQLite-backed immersion tests under Bun
bun run test:smoke:dist       # explicit smoke scope for compiled runtime
bun run test:config:dist      # optional full dist config suite
bun run test:core:dist        # optional full dist core suite

Use bun run test:immersion:sqlite when you need real DB-backed coverage for the immersion tracker.

Formatting

Use the scoped formatter for normal app-repo work:

make pretty
bun run format:check:src

• make pretty runs the maintained Prettier allowlist only (format:src).
• bun run format:check:src checks the same scoped set without writing changes.
• bun run format remains the broad repo-wide Prettier command; use it intentionally.

Config Generation

# Generate default config to ~/.config/SubMiner/config.jsonc (or %APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc on Windows)
bun run electron . --generate-config

# Regenerate the repo's config.example.jsonc from centralized defaults
bun run generate:config-example

Convenience wrappers still exist:

• make generate-config
• make generate-example-config

Documentation Site

The docs site now lives in docs-site/ inside the main repo.

From the SubMiner app repo:

bun --cwd docs-site install
bun run docs:dev     # Dev server at http://localhost:5173
bun run docs:build   # Production build into docs-site/.vitepress/dist
bun run docs:preview # Preview built site at http://localhost:4173
bun run docs:test    # Docs regression tests

Cloudflare Pages deploy settings:

• Git repo: ksyasuda/SubMiner
• Root directory: docs-site
• Build command: bun run docs:build
• Build output directory: .vitepress/dist
• Build watch paths: docs-site/*

Use Cloudflare's single * wildcard syntax for watch paths. docs-site/* covers nested docs-site changes in the repo; docs-site/** is not the correct Pages pattern and may skip docs-only pushes.

Contributor Notes

• To add/change a config default, edit the matching domain file in src/config/definitions/defaults-*.ts.
• To add/change config option metadata, edit the matching domain file in src/config/definitions/options-*.ts.
• To add/change generated config template blocks/comments, update src/config/definitions/template-sections.ts.
• Keep src/config/definitions.ts as the composed public API (DEFAULT_CONFIG, registries, template export) that wires domain modules together.
• Overlay window/visibility state is owned by src/core/services/overlay-manager.ts.
• Runtime architecture/module-boundary conventions are summarized in Architecture, with canonical internal guidance in docs/architecture/README.md at the repo root.
• Linux packaged desktop launches pass --background using electron-builder build.linux.executableArgs in package.json.
• Prefer direct inline deps objects in src/main/ modules for simple pass-through wiring.
• Add a helper/adapter service only when it performs meaningful adaptation, validation, or reuse (not identity mapping).
