Cua is a multi-language monorepo. There is no single root command that proves every package, desktop, VM, and image. Run the tests owned by the components you changed and use the corresponding CI workflow as the executable source of truth.
| Area | Deterministic tests | Integration or E2E owner |
|---|---|---|
| Python SDKs | Package tests/ directories with pytest |
Package-specific integration tests and tests/integration |
| TypeScript SDKs | Package Vitest/typecheck scripts | Package-owned integration tests |
| cua-driver | Rust unit, schema, protocol, and compile tests | Canonical Rust desktop harnesses on Windows, macOS, Linux X11, and Linux Wayland |
| Lume | Swift package tests | VM and unattended-setup checks documented by Lume |
| Public docs | Generator drift, hygiene, links, and production build | Rendered Fumadocs site |
| Images and sandboxes | Component build and schema tests | Image-specific smoke or VM tests |
Path-filtered CI avoids running unrelated operating systems, so a green job for one component does not validate another component.
For a member of the root uv workspace:
uv sync --group test
CUA_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false uv run pytest libs/python/<package>/tests -vPackages outside the root uv workspace should be installed from their own
pyproject.toml. The current package matrix and installation sequence live in
.github/workflows/ci-test-python.yml.
Run from libs/typescript:
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck
pnpm format:checkUse a package's own package.json scripts when working outside that workspace,
including CuaBot and the documentation site.
Run from libs/cua-driver/rust. Focused examples:
cargo test -p cua-driver-core --locked
cargo test -p cua-driver --test protocol_mcp_test --lockedLinux source and package checks run through Nix. Windows and Linux compile gates
are split into OS-specific workflows. See
libs/cua-driver/rust/README.md for workspace
commands.
Unit and protocol tests do not prove that desktop input reached a real application.
The canonical desktop suites build repository-owned applications, drive them through the Rust driver, and verify application or desktop state independently from the tool response. Foreground/background delivery and AX/PX addressing are dimensions of each action row.
Canonical entry points:
Linux X11/session: scripts/ci/linux/run-rust-e2e.sh
Linux Sway: scripts/ci/linux/run-rust-e2e-wayland.sh
Linux nested: scripts/ci/linux/run-rust-e2e-inject.sh
Linux GNOME/KDE: scripts/ci/linux/run-rust-e2e-desktop.sh <gnome|kde>
Linux real Xorg: scripts/ci/linux/run-rust-e2e-desktop.sh xorg
Windows: .\scripts\ci\windows\run-rust-e2e.ps1 -RequireGui
macOS: scripts/ci/macos/run-rust-e2e.sh
The hosted Sway and nested-compositor runners create controlled sessions. GNOME, KDE, real Xorg, Windows, and macOS use an existing graphical login. The suites are often maintainer-triggered and retain typed case/results, screenshots, accessibility state, trajectories, logs, and video where the lane supports it. The reporter rejects missing rows, false-success responses, undeclared outcomes, and incomplete required evidence.

Run from libs/lume:
swift testVM-dependent and unattended-setup checks have additional prerequisites in
libs/lume/Development.md.
Run from docs:
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm docs:check-hygiene
pnpm docs:check-links
pnpm buildThe production build validates MDX compilation and static route generation.
Curated MDX changes do not need a product build. Generated reference changes
also run pnpm docs:check:cua-driver or pnpm docs:check:lume for their owning
component; pnpm docs:check is the explicit full audit. See
docs/README.md for details.
- Run focused tests while developing.
- Run the complete deterministic test owner for every component changed.
- Run the affected interactive E2E lane when desktop behavior or its contract changes.
- Run formatting and documentation checks for modified files.
- Record any test that could not run and why.
Do not turn missing dependencies, desktop sessions, fixtures, or permissions into a reduced green run. Environment failures and unsupported capabilities must remain visible.
