Build and test

Prerequisites

Node ≥ 22.12 and pnpm 11 (the packageManager field pins it).
Rust stable (see rust-version / the toolchain used in CI) with Cargo.
Windows: Visual Studio C++ Build Tools, WebView2. macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools. Linux: WebKitGTK 4.1 and the Tauri prerequisites.

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm desktop        # debug app with hot reload

pnpm dev starts only the web UI: without Tauri it has no archive and says so.

Checks before every commit

pnpm lint
pnpm format:check
pnpm typecheck
pnpm i18n:check
pnpm test           # Vitest
pnpm test:rust      # cargo test
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings   # in src-tauri
pnpm build

Run the checks relevant to your change; report what you actually ran. Never claim a check that did not run.

Packages

pnpm package:desktop builds the native package for the current system and signed updater artifacts (needs the maintainer's key). For a local package without updater artifacts:

pnpm tauri build --config '{"bundle":{"createUpdaterArtifacts":false}}'

Linux and Windows packages can be built in Docker: see Container builds.
