2025-11-06Step.Run: Fix for `convertPathArg` when cwd and path args are on different ↵Ryan Liptak

2025-10-30std.Build: fix '--webui' crashMatthew Lugg
Using '--webui' without '--time-report' when there are Run steps in the graph was regressed by https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/25029.
2025-10-30std.debug.lockStderrWriter: also return ttyconfMatthew Lugg
`std.Io.tty.Config.detect` may be an expensive check (e.g. involving syscalls), and doing it every time we need to print isn't really necessary; under normal usage, we can compute the value once and cache it for the whole program's execution. Since anyone outputting to stderr may reasonably want this information (in fact they are very likely to), it makes sense to cache it and return it from `lockStderrWriter`. Call sites who do not need it will experience no significant overhead, and can just ignore the TTY config with a `const w, _` destructure.

2025-10-18std.Build: separate errors from failed commandsmlugg
Recording the command in a separate field will give the build runner more freedom to choose how and when the command should be printed.
2025-10-18std.Build.Step.Run: many enhancementsmlugg
This is a major refactor to `Step.Run` which adds new functionality, primarily to the execution of Zig tests. * All tests are run, even if a test crashes. This happens through the same mechanism as timeouts where the test processes is repeatedly respawned as needed. * The build status output is more precise. For each unit test, it differentiates pass, skip, fail, crash, and timeout. Memory leaks are reported separately, as they do not indicate a test's "status", but are rather an additional property (a test with leaks may still pass!). * The number of memory leaks is tracked and reported, both per-test and for a whole `Run` step. * Reporting is made clearer when a step is failed solely due to error logs (`std.log.err`) where every unit test passed.
2025-10-18std.Build: implement unit test timeoutsmlugg
For now, there is a flag to `zig build` called `--test-timeout-ms` which accepts a value in milliseconds. If the execution time of any individual unit test exceeds that number of milliseconds, the test is terminated and marked as timed out. In the future, we may want to increase the granularity of this feature by allowing timeouts to be specified per-step or even per-test. However, a global option is actually very useful. In particular, it can be used in CI scripts to ensure that no individual unit test exceeds some reasonable limit (e.g. 60 seconds) without having to assign limits to every individual test step in the build script. Also, individual unit test durations are now shown in the time report web interface -- this was fairly trivial to add since we're timing tests (to check for timeouts) anyway. This commit makes progress on #19821, but does not close it, because that proposal includes a more sophisticated mechanism for setting timeouts. Co-Authored-By: David Rubin <david@vortan.dev>

2025-09-24fuzzing: implement limited fuzzingLoris Cro
Adds the limit option to `--fuzz=[limit]`. the limit expresses a number of iterations that *each fuzz test* will perform at maximum before exiting. The limit argument supports also 'K', 'M', and 'G' suffixeds (e.g. '10K'). Does not imply `--web-ui` (like unlimited fuzzing does) and prints a fuzzing report at the end. Closes #22900 but does not implement the time based limit, as after internal discussions we concluded to be problematic to both implement and use correctly.

2025-09-19std.Build.Step.Run: Enable passing (generated) file content as argsJustus Klausecker
Adds `addFileContentArg` and `addPrefixedFileContentArg` to pass the content of a file with a lazy path as an argument to a `std.Build.Step.Run`. This enables replicating shell `$()` / cmake `execute_process` with `OUTPUT_VARIABLE` as an input to another `execute_process` in conjuction with `captureStdOut`/`captureStdErr`. To also be able to replicate `$()` automatically trimming trailing newlines and cmake `OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE`, this patch adds an `options` arg to those functions which allows specifying the desired handling of surrounding whitespace. The `options` arg also allows to specify a custom `basename` for the output. e.g. to add a file extension (concrete use case: Zig `@import()` requires files to have a `.zig`/`.zon` extension to recognize them as valid source files).

2025-08-26std.Build.Step.Compile: fix race condition in args file creationIan Johnson
Fixes #23993 Previously, if multiple build processes tried to create the same args file, there was a race condition with the use of the non-atomic `writeFile` function which could cause a spawned compiler to read an empty or incomplete args file. This commit avoids the race condition by first writing to a temporary file with a random path and renaming it to the desired path.

2025-08-16Build.Step.Run: fix missing stdin buffer and flushIsaac Freund
Writer.sendFileAll() asserts non-zero buffer capacity in the case that the fallback is hit. It also requires the caller to flush. The buffer may be bypassed as an optimization but this is not a guarantee. Also improve the Writer documentation and add an earlier assert on buffer capacity in sendFileAll().

This "get" is useless noise and was copied from FixedBufferWriter. Since this API has not yet landed in a release, now is a good time to make the breaking change to fix this.

2025-08-02std.Build: keep compiler alive under `-fincremental --webui`mlugg
Previously, this only applied when using `-fincremental --watch`, but `--webui` makes the build runner stay alive just like `--watch` does, so the same logic applies here. Without this, attempting to perform incremental updates with `--webui` performs full rebuilds. (I did test that before merging the PR, but at that time I was passing `--watch` too -- which has since been disallowed -- so I missed that it doesn't work as expected without that option!)
2025-08-01build system: replace fuzzing UI with build UI, add time reportmlugg
This commit replaces the "fuzzer" UI, previously accessed with the `--fuzz` and `--port` flags, with a more interesting web UI which allows more interactions with the Zig build system. Most notably, it allows accessing the data emitted by a new "time report" system, which allows users to see which parts of Zig programs take the longest to compile. The option to expose the web UI is `--webui`. By default, it will listen on `[::1]` on a random port, but any IPv6 or IPv4 address can be specified with e.g. `--webui=[::1]:8000` or `--webui=127.0.0.1:8000`. The options `--fuzz` and `--time-report` both imply `--webui` if not given. Currently, `--webui` is incompatible with `--watch`; specifying both will cause `zig build` to exit with a fatal error. When the web UI is enabled, the build runner spawns the web server as soon as the configure phase completes. The frontend code consists of one HTML file, one JavaScript file, two CSS files, and a few Zig source files which are built into a WASM blob on-demand -- this is all very similar to the old fuzzer UI. Also inherited from the fuzzer UI is that the build system communicates with web clients over a WebSocket connection. When the build finishes, if `--webui` was passed (i.e. if the web server is running), the build runner does not terminate; it continues running to serve web requests, allowing interactive control of the build system. In the web interface is an overall "status" indicating whether a build is currently running, and also a list of all steps in this build. There are visual indicators (colors and spinners) for in-progress, succeeded, and failed steps. There is a "Rebuild" button which will cause the build system to reset the state of every step (note that this does not affect caching) and evaluate the step graph again. If `--time-report` is passed to `zig build`, a new section of the interface becomes visible, which associates every build step with a "time report". For most steps, this is just a simple "time taken" value. However, for `Compile` steps, the compiler communicates with the build system to provide it with much more interesting information: time taken for various pipeline phases, with a per-declaration and per-file breakdown, sorted by slowest declarations/files first. This feature is still in its early stages: the data can be a little tricky to understand, and there is no way to, for instance, sort by different properties, or filter to certain files. However, it has already given us some interesting statistics, and can be useful for spotting, for instance, particularly complex and slow compile-time logic. Additionally, if a compilation uses LLVM, its time report includes the "LLVM pass timing" information, which was previously accessible with the (now removed) `-ftime-report` compiler flag. To make time reports more useful, ZIR and compilation caches are ignored by the Zig compiler when they are enabled -- in other words, `Compile` steps *always* run, even if their result should be cached. This means that the flag can be used to analyze a project's compile time without having to repeatedly clear cache directory, for instance. However, when using `-fincremental`, updates other than the first will only show you the statistics for what changed on that particular update. Notably, this gives us a fairly nice way to see exactly which declarations were re-analyzed by an incremental update. If `--fuzz` is passed to `zig build`, another section of the web interface becomes visible, this time exposing the fuzzer. This is quite similar to the fuzzer UI this commit replaces, with only a few cosmetic tweaks. The interface is closer than before to supporting multiple fuzz steps at a time (in line with the overall strategy for this build UI, the goal will be for all of the fuzz steps to be accessible in the same interface), but still doesn't actually support it. The fuzzer UI looks quite different under the hood: as a result, various bugs are fixed, although other bugs remain. For instance, viewing the source code of any file other than the root of the main module is completely broken (as on master) due to some bogus file-to-module assignment logic in the fuzzer UI. Implementation notes: * The `lib/build-web/` directory holds the client side of the web UI. * The general server logic is in `std.Build.WebServer`. * Fuzzing-specific logic is in `std.Build.Fuzz`. * `std.Build.abi` is the new home of `std.Build.Fuzz.abi`, since it now relates to the build system web UI in general. * The build runner now has an **actual** general-purpose allocator, because thanks to `--watch` and `--webui`, the process can be arbitrarily long-lived. The gpa is `std.heap.DebugAllocator`, but the arena remains backed by `std.heap.page_allocator` for efficiency. I fixed several crashes caused by conflation of `gpa` and `arena` in the build runner and `std.Build`, but there may still be some I have missed. * The I/O logic in `std.Build.WebServer` is pretty gnarly; there are a *lot* of threads involved. I anticipate this situation improving significantly once the `std.Io` interface (with concurrency support) is introduced.
2025-07-30build system: print captured stderr on Run step failureLoris Cro
when a Run step that captures stderr fails, no output from it is visible by the user and, since the step failed, any downstream step that would process the captured stream will not run, making it impossible for the user to see the stderr output from the failed process invocation, which makes for a frustrating puzzle when this happens in CI.
2025-07-26std.Build: Deprecate `Step.Compile` APIs that mutate the root moduleCarl Åstholm
Not only are `Step.Compile` methods like `linkLibC()` redundant because `Module` exposes the same APIs, it also might not be immediately obvious to users that these methods modify the underlying root module, which can be a footgun and lead to unintended results if the module is exported to package consumers or shared by multiple compile steps. Using `compile.root_module.link_libc = true` makes it more clear to users which of the compile step and the module owns which options.

2025-07-11Remove numerous things deprecated during the 0.14 release cycleLinus Groh
Basically everything that has a direct replacement or no uses left. Notable omissions: - std.ArrayHashMap: Too much fallout, needs a separate cleanup. - std.debug.runtime_safety: Too much fallout. - std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator: Lots of references to it remain, not a simple find and replace as "debug allocator" is not equivalent to "general purpose allocator". - std.io.Reader: Is being reworked at the moment. - std.unicode.utf8Decode(): No replacement, needs a new API first. - Manifest backwards compat options: Removal would break test data used by TestFetchBuilder. - panic handler needs to be a namespace: Many tests still rely on it being a function, needs a separate cleanup.

Alignment and fill options only apply to numbers. Rework the implementation to mainly branch on the format string rather than the type information. This is more straightforward to maintain and more straightforward for comptime evaluation. Enums support being printed as decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary. `formatInteger` is another possible format method that is unconditionally called when the value type is struct and one of the integer-printing format specifiers are used.
