1# Debug Harness
2
3HTTP-controlled debugger for the VSCode extension at `src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts`.
4
5## Quick start
6
7```bash
8# Build extension first if needed (protos + esbuild):
9bun run protos && IS_DEV=true bun esbuild.mjs
10
11# Launch (skip-build if already built). Run with node, NOT bun — Playwright's
12# Electron launch times out under bun:
13node src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts --skip-build --auto-launch
14
15# In another terminal:
16curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"status"}'
17```
18
19## Data Isolation
20
21The debugee runs with `CLINE_DIR=~/.cline2` by default, separate from your real `~/.cline`.
22This prevents the debugee's logout from logging out the debugger, and vice versa.
23Override with `--cline-dir /tmp/test-dir`. Check with `status()` → `clineDir`.
24
25## Browser Capture & OAuth
26
27The debugee runs with `CLINE_CAPTURE_BROWSER=1`, which intercepts `openExternal()` in
28`src/utils/env.ts`. URLs are captured instead of opening a real browser:
29
30- Logged to `$CLINE_DIR/data/debug-captured-urls.jsonl`
31- POSTed in real-time to `/captured-url` on the harness server
32- Queryable via `oauth.captured_urls`
33
34### OAuth API
35
36- **`oauth.captured_urls`** `{clear?}` — URLs the debugee tried to open
37- **`oauth.read_stored_token`** — Check auth token presence in secrets.json
38- **`oauth.simulate_callback`** `{path, code?, state?, provider?, token?}` — Build vscode:// callback URI
39- **`oauth.read_captured_urls_file`** — Read on-disk JSONL of captured URLs
40
41### OAuth testing flow
42
43For **Cline OAuth** (SDK local callback): The SDK starts a local HTTP server, the auth URL
44is captured. To complete: open the captured URL in a real browser (it redirects back to the
45SDK's callback server), OR extract the callback port and `curl http://127.0.0.1:PORT/callback?code=...`.
46
47For **MCP/Provider OAuth** (vscode:// URI): The redirect goes to a vscode:// URI.
48`oauth.simulate_callback` only *builds* the URI — it does not deliver it, and the ESM
49extension host can't `require()` the handler. To actually deliver the callback, call the
50debug-only hook via `ext.evaluate` (with `awaitPromise: true`):
51`globalThis.__clineHandleUri("vscode://saoudrizwan.claude-dev/...?code=...&state=...")`.
52It runs the same `SharedUriHandler.handleUri` as VSCode's real URI handler and exists only
53when `CLINE_CAPTURE_BROWSER` is set (the harness always sets it; never ships in prod).
54For end-to-end MCP OAuth, get a real `code` from the local MCP OAuth test server
55(`bun run dev:mcp-oauth-test-server`).
56
57## Navigating Views — Use Commands, Not Clicks
58
59Don't try to find/click small sidebar icons. Use VSCode commands via command palette.
60Registered in `src/registry.ts`:
61
62| Command | View |
63|---------|------|
64| `cline.accountButtonClicked` | Account / sign-in |
65| `cline.historyButtonClicked` | Task history |
66| `cline.settingsButtonClicked` | Settings |
67| `cline.mcpButtonClicked` | MCP servers |
68| `cline.plusButtonClicked` | New task (chat) |
69| `cline.worktreesButtonClicked` | Worktrees |
70
71```bash
72curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.command_palette","params":{"command":"cline.accountButtonClicked"}}'
73```
74
75## Key commands
76
77All via `POST localhost:19229/api` with `{"method":"...", "params":{...}}`:
78
79- **`launch`** / **`shutdown`** — lifecycle
80- **`ui.screenshot`** — screenshot to `/tmp/cline-debug/`; returns `{path}` — **use `read_file` on the path to examine, do NOT `open` the file** (Preview.app covers the VSCode window)
81- **`ui.open_sidebar`** — open the Cline sidebar
82- **`ext.set_breakpoint`** `{file, line, condition?}` — breakpoint by source file (sourcemap-resolved)
83- **`ext.evaluate`** `{expression, callFrameId?}` — eval in extension host
84- **`ext.resume`** / **`ext.step_over`** / **`ext.step_into`** — stepping
85- **`ext.call_stack`** — inspect when paused
86- **`web.evaluate`** `{expression}` — eval in webview
87- **`web.post_message`** `{message}` — send postMessage to extension host via exposed vsCodeApi
88- **`wait_for_pause`** `{timeout?}` — block until breakpoint hit
89- **`ui.locator`** `{role?, testId?, text?, frame?}` — Playwright locator (auto-retries on stale sidebar frame)
90- **`ui.react_input`** `{text, selector?, clear?, submit?}` — set React textarea value via `execCommand('insertText')`; works reliably across multiple tasks
91- **`ui.send_message`** `{text, images?, files?, responseType?}` — send chat message bypassing the textarea entirely (via gRPC postMessage)
92- **`ui.command_palette`** `{command}` — run VSCode command
93
94## Typical Session
95
96```bash
97# 1. Launch
98curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"launch","params":{"skipBuild":true}}'
99
100# 2. Open sidebar + dismiss overlays (ALWAYS do this first)
101curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.open_sidebar"}'
102curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"web.evaluate","params":{"expression":"document.querySelectorAll(\".sr-only\").forEach(el => el.parentElement?.click())"}}'
103
104# 3. Navigate to view
105curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.command_palette","params":{"command":"cline.accountButtonClicked"}}'
106
107# 4. Check captured OAuth URLs if testing auth
108curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"oauth.captured_urls"}'
109
110# 5. Verify
111curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.screenshot"}'
112```
113
114## Caveats
115
116- **⚠️ Dismiss promotional overlays FIRST**: On fresh launches, full-screen promo overlays block the sidebar. **Dismiss immediately after `ui.open_sidebar`**, before any other interaction or screenshot. May need to run twice:
117 ```bash
118 curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method": "ui.open_sidebar"}'
119 curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method": "web.evaluate", "params": {"expression": "document.querySelectorAll(\".sr-only\").forEach(el => el.parentElement?.click())"}}'
120 ```
121- **Screenshots — don't open the file**: `ui.screenshot` and `ui.sidebar_screenshot` save PNGs to `/tmp/cline-debug/` and return the `{path}`. Use `read_file` on that path to examine screenshots. Running `open <path>` launches Preview.app on macOS which covers the VSCode window.
122- **Scripts count = 0 after launch**: CDP connects after extension host starts, so scripts parsed during startup aren't tracked. Breakpoints still work via sourcemap resolution.
123- **Port 9230**: Extension host inspector. If another VSCode instance uses this port, the harness will fail to connect. Kill other debug instances first.
124- **macOS only** for now (Playwright Electron launch behavior).
125- **Webview CDP**: `connect_webview` may fail depending on Electron version. `web.evaluate` still works via Playwright's `frame.evaluate()` fallback.
126- **Sourcemap paths**: esbuild outputs relative paths like `../src/extension.ts` in the sourcemap. The resolver handles this, but if a file isn't found, use `ext.source_files` to see exact paths.
127- **OAuth with fake codes**: Browser capture intercepts the URL but doesn't provide a valid auth code. For real OAuth testing, open the captured URL in a browser. For unit testing, mock the token exchange.

3## Cloud Agent Instructions
4
5### Cline CLI
6- Run from source: `bun run cli` (interactive: `bun run cli -i`; one-shot: append a prompt). This resolves to `apps/cli` and **auto-spawns the `@cline/cline-hub` daemon** — you do not start the hub separately.
7- Inspect local health with `bun run cli doctor`; `bun run cli version` prints the version.
8- An actual agent turn requires an **LLM provider credential**. With no credentials the default `cline` provider fails fast with an `Unauthorized` error and the interactive TUI shows a provider sign-in screen. Configure via `cline auth` or provider env vars (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `CLINE_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`); see `apps/cli/README.md`.
9
10### Build / Lint / test
11- SDK packages (`@cline/shared|llms|agents|core|sdk`) resolve each other through compiled `dist/` (their `exports` point only at `dist/`, with no `development` source condition). You **must** run `bun run build:sdk` after changing SDK dependencies/source before running the CLI or SDK tests, otherwise imports fail with missing `@cline/*` / missing `dist/` errors. Running processes do **not** hot-reload SDK source changes — rebuild and restart.\
12- Known cloud-env test artifact: `@cline/core` test `src/services/workspace/workspace-manifest.test.ts > readGitWorkspaceState > prefers origin and returns the current branch` fails because cloud VMs configure git `insteadOf` rules that rewrite GitHub remotes to `https://x-access-token:...@github.com/...`. This is an environment artifact, not a code bug.
13- Some `@cline/cli` e2e assertions (`bun -F @cline/cli test:e2e`) may fail on exact tool-listing string formats; treat as pre-existing test drift, not an environment problem.
14
15### GUI display
16- A virtual X display is live at **`DISPLAY=:1`** (the same desktop used for screenshots). GUI apps (VS Code, the Tauri desktop window) launched with `DISPLAY=:1` render there and can be screenshotted — no need to start your own `xvfb`. Prefer starting long-running GUI/dev processes in a `tmux` session (see the tmux guidance) so they survive.
17
18### VS Code extension (`apps/vscode`, package `claude-dev`)
19Toolchain is pre-installed and persisted in the VM: generated gRPC/proto code, the bundled `ripgrep` binaries (`apps/vscode/bin/`), the built webview (`webview-ui/build`), the esbuild bundle (`dist/extension.js`), VS Code itself (`/usr/bin/code`), and the GUI system libraries its tests need.
20- **Codegen prerequisite:** `bun run protos` (from `apps/vscode`) regenerates `src/generated/*` and the webview grpc client. The `dev`, `build:webview`, and `check-types` scripts already run it, so proto changes are picked up by those commands; run it manually only if you edit `.proto` files without a full build.
21- **Build:** `bun run build:webview` (webview UI, ~15s) then `bun esbuild.mjs` (extension bundle). `bun run package` does the full production build.
22- **Run it (dev host):** `DISPLAY=:1 code --no-sandbox --user-data-dir=/tmp/vscode-userdata --extensionDevelopmentPath=/workspace/apps/vscode <some-folder>`, then click the Cline icon in the Activity Bar to open the webview. (`--no-sandbox` is required in this container.)
23- **Test:** `bun run test:unit` (bun-based, ~984 tests, no VS Code host needed). `bun run test:integration` (`@vscode/test-electron`, downloads a VS Code build, runs under the GUI libs) and `bun run test:e2e` (Playwright) exercise a real extension host — heavier, and the GUI libs for them are already installed.
24- One-time deps (already installed, listed here in case they must be recreated): ripgrep via `bun run download-ripgrep`; VS Code test GUI libs per `CONTRIBUTING.md` (`libnss3`, `libatk*`, `libgbm1`, `xvfb`, etc.).
25
26### Desktop app (`apps/examples/desktop-app`, package `@cline/code`)
27A Tauri v2 (Rust) shell + Next.js webview + a Bun "sidecar" backend. Rust and the Tauri Linux system libs are pre-installed and persisted.
28- **Headless (no Rust/window):** run the backend and UI separately — `bun run dev:sidecar` (Bun backend on `127.0.0.1:3126`, serves `ws://.../transport`) and `bun run dev:web` (Next.js UI on `http://localhost:3125`).
29- **Native window:** `bun run dev` (`tauri dev`) — its `beforeDevCommand` builds the sidecar binary and starts `dev:web` (`:3125`), then Rust `main.rs` spawns the sidecar; so free ports `3125`/`3126` first. Launch with `DISPLAY=:1` to see the window. A `libEGL: DRI3 error` warning is benign (software rendering) — the WebKitGTK window still renders.
30- **Rust version caveat:** the crate graph needs Cargo's `edition2024` feature, so **Rust ≥1.85** is required (the VM's base 1.83 fails with "feature `edition2024` is required"). The toolchain here was updated via `rustup default stable` (currently 1.97). First `cargo` build downloads/compiles the full Tauri crate graph (a few minutes); subsequent builds are cached.
31- **System libs (already installed):** `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`, `libgtk-3-dev`, `libayatana-appindicator3-dev`, `librsvg2-dev`, `libxdo-dev`, `libssl-dev`, `build-essential`.
32- **Test/typecheck:** `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:chat-ui` (Vitest). Both trigger `build:ui` first.

114−## Caveats
115−
116−- **⚠️ Dismiss promotional overlays FIRST**: On fresh launches, full-screen promo overlays block the sidebar. **Dismiss immediately after `ui.open_sidebar`**, before any other interaction or screenshot. May need to run twice:
117− ```bash
118− curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method": "ui.open_sidebar"}'
119− curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method": "web.evaluate", "params": {"expression": "document.querySelectorAll(\".sr-only\").forEach(el => el.parentElement?.click())"}}'
120− ```
121−- **Screenshots — don't open the file**: `ui.screenshot` and `ui.sidebar_screenshot` save PNGs to `/tmp/cline-debug/` and return the `{path}`. Use `read_file` on that path to examine screenshots. Running `open <path>` launches Preview.app on macOS which covers the VSCode window.
122−- **Scripts count = 0 after launch**: CDP connects after extension host starts, so scripts parsed during startup aren't tracked. Breakpoints still work via sourcemap resolution.
123−- **Port 9230**: Extension host inspector. If another VSCode instance uses this port, the harness will fail to connect. Kill other debug instances first.
124−- **macOS only** for now (Playwright Electron launch behavior).
125−- **Webview CDP**: `connect_webview` may fail depending on Electron version. `web.evaluate` still works via Playwright's `frame.evaluate()` fallback.
126−- **Sourcemap paths**: esbuild outputs relative paths like `../src/extension.ts` in the sourcemap. The resolver handles this, but if a file isn't found, use `ext.source_files` to see exact paths.
127−- **OAuth with fake codes**: Browser capture intercepts the URL but doesn't provide a valid auth code. For real OAuth testing, open the captured URL in a browser. For unit testing, mock the token exchange.

26+### Desktop app (`apps/examples/desktop-app`, package `@cline/code`)
27+A Tauri v2 (Rust) shell + Next.js webview + a Bun "sidecar" backend. Rust and the Tauri Linux system libs are pre-installed and persisted.
28+- **Headless (no Rust/window):** run the backend and UI separately — `bun run dev:sidecar` (Bun backend on `127.0.0.1:3126`, serves `ws://.../transport`) and `bun run dev:web` (Next.js UI on `http://localhost:3125`).
29+- **Native window:** `bun run dev` (`tauri dev`) — its `beforeDevCommand` builds the sidecar binary and starts `dev:web` (`:3125`), then Rust `main.rs` spawns the sidecar; so free ports `3125`/`3126` first. Launch with `DISPLAY=:1` to see the window. A `libEGL: DRI3 error` warning is benign (software rendering) — the WebKitGTK window still renders.
30+- **Rust version caveat:** the crate graph needs Cargo's `edition2024` feature, so **Rust ≥1.85** is required (the VM's base 1.83 fails with "feature `edition2024` is required"). The toolchain here was updated via `rustup default stable` (currently 1.97). First `cargo` build downloads/compiles the full Tauri crate graph (a few minutes); subsequent builds are cached.
31+- **System libs (already installed):** `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`, `libgtk-3-dev`, `libayatana-appindicator3-dev`, `librsvg2-dev`, `libxdo-dev`, `libssl-dev`, `build-essential`.
32+- **Test/typecheck:** `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:chat-ui` (Vitest). Both trigger `build:ui` first.
