| description | Run RCLI smoke and e2e against a pinned C++ desktop kit on macOS and Windows. Use when verifying a kit pin, a Windows link fix, MLX host, or when the user asks to e2e-test rcli. |
RCLI e2e
Always test the product binary against a released or local kit, never by
compiling SDK source into this tree.
macOS arm64
bash scripts/fetch-kit.sh macos-arm64 /tmp/kit
cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/tmp/kit
cmake --build build -j "$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)"
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
bash scripts/e2e.sh ./build/rcli-cxx
Optional real generate: RCLI_E2E_MODEL=qwen3-0.6b bash scripts/e2e.sh ./build/rcli-cxx.
Apple shipping binary (MLX host):
bash scripts/build-mlx.sh
bash scripts/smoke-mlx.sh
C++ rcli-cxx cannot exercise MLX (needs Swift host callbacks). That is
expected, not a skip to paper over.
Windows x64
Host cmake/ninja on PATH may be Python ARM64 — use VS x64 after vcvarsall x64.
Kit is /MD. Do not force /MT.
vcvarsall.bat x64
bash scripts/fetch-kit.sh windows-x64 C:\kit
cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/kit
cmake --build build --config Release
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure -C Release
bash scripts/e2e.sh ./build/rcli.exe
Copy onnxruntime.dll from the kit third_party/ next to rcli.exe if smoke
cannot load ORT. Do not tarball swift/ (multi-GB).
Bar
CI already runs unit + modelless e2e on macos-14 and windows-2022. A pin bump
is not done until those are green. Linux e2e is optional (scripts/e2e-linux.sh).
