build-and-test

Build and test the Java.Interop repository. Use when asked to build, compile, run tests, verify changes, or check for regressions. Handles submodule initialization, build preparation, compilation, test execution, and result summarization. Also use after making code changes to validate they compile and pass tests.

# Build and Test Build and test the Java.Interop .NET/JNI interop repository. ## Prerequisites - .NET SDK (9+) - Java Development Kit (JDK) - Platform-specific JVM libraries ## Workflow 1. Initialize submodules (if needed) 2. Prepare the build 3. Build the solution 4. Run tests 5. Summarize results ## Step 1: Initialize Submodules Run only if `external/xamarin-android-tools` is empty or missing: ```bash git submodule update --init --recursive ``` ## Step 2: Prepare + Build ```bash dotnet build -t:Prepare dotnet build Java.Interop.sln ``` If the user only wants to build (not test), stop here and report success/failure. ## Step 3: Run Tests Run all tests: ```bash dotnet test Java.Interop.sln ``` Run a specific test project (when the user specifies one or when iterating on a focused area): ```bash dotnet test tests/<TestProject>/<TestProject>.csproj ``` Common test projects: - `Java.Interop-Tests` — core JNI binding tests (largest suite) - `Java.Interop.Export-Tests` — export attribute tests - `generator-Tests` — C# binding generator tests - `Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers-Tests` — JCW generation tests ## Step 4: Summarize Results Parse the `dotnet test` output. Extract lines matching `Passed!` or `Failed!` patterns. Present a summary table: | Test Assembly | Passed | Failed | Skipped | |---|---|---|---| | Assembly-Name | N | N | N | **Total: X passed, Y failed, Z skipped.** If any tests failed, show the failure details and relevant error messages. ## Handling Failures **Build failures**: Show the full error output. Common issues: - Missing submodules → run `git submodule update --init --recursive` - Missing JDK → check `$JAVA_HOME` is set - Missing JVM → check `$JdkJvmPath` in `Configuration.Override.props` **Test failures**: Show the failing test names and assertion messages. If a specific test fails, suggest re-running just that test project for faster iteration.
