Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE v1.0
Target Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux
Tech Stack: Python 3.11+, textual, rich, uv
Status: The FastLED CI TUI application has been FULLY IMPLEMENTED and is working correctly. All milestones have been achieved.
-
Directory Structure - ✅ COMPLETE
- ✅
ci/run/directory created with full structure - ✅
ci/run.pyentry point implemented and functional - ✅ All 12 Python modules implemented according to spec
- ✅ TUI successfully launches and displays interactive menu
- ✅
-
Dependencies - ✅ COMPLETE
- ✅
textual>=1.0.0added topyproject.tomldependencies - ✅
rich>=14.1.0already available for formatting
- ✅
-
Entrypoint Commands - ✅ CORRECT
- ✅ Main entry:
uv run python ci/run.pylaunches TUI - ✅ Alternative:
uv run -m ci.runworks as module - ✅ All commands use correct paths:
uv run test.py,bash compile <platform>
- ✅ Main entry:
-
Test Execution - ✅ CORRECT
- ✅ C++ unit tests run via
uv run test.py(not pytest) - ✅ Python tests run via
uv run pytest ci/ - ✅ UnitTestsView correctly uses test.py for C++ tests
- ✅ C++ unit tests run via
-
Python QA Tools - ✅ CORRECT
- ✅ Uses
ruff check .for linting - ✅ Uses

- ✅ Uses
Actual Test/Build Commands:
# C++ Unit Tests (not pytest!)
uv run test.py # Run all C++ unit tests
uv run test.py --cpp # Run C++ tests only
uv run test.py TestName # Run specific C++ test
uv run test.py --no-fingerprint # Disable caching
# Python Tests (pytest)
uv run pytest ci/ # Python tests for CI system
# Compilation
bash compile <platform> # Wrapper with interactive mode
uv run ci/ci-compile.py <platform> --examples <name> # Direct
# Python QA (correct tools)
uv run ruff check . # Linting
uv run ruff format --check . # Format checking (not black)
uv run pytest ci/ # Python tests
# QEMU Testing
uv run test.py --qemu esp32s3 # Run examples in QEMUActual File Structure:

-
M1: Scaffold + MainMenu — ✅ COMPLETE
- ci/run.py entry point with FastLEDCI app class
- MainMenu with 4 menu options and keyboard bindings (1-4, q)
- Successful TUI launch confirmed
-
M2: Async TaskRunner + TaskBlock updater — ✅ COMPLETE
- ci/run/core/runner.py with async subprocess execution
- ci/run/core/updater.py with TaskBlock live updates (8 Hz refresh)
- Two-line task display format with status, elapsed time, and tail output
-
M3: UnitTests + Build wired to real commands — ✅ COMPLETE
- UnitTestsView runs C++ tests via
uv run test.py - BuildView compiles platforms via
bash compile <platform> - Both views display live task progress
- UnitTestsView runs C++ tests via
-
M4: Python QA view + summary actions — ✅ COMPLETE
- PythonQAView runs pytest, ruff-check, ruff-format
- AllTestsView orchestrates QA → Build → Unit tests sequentially
- All tasks run concurrently within each phase
-
M5: Cross-platform polish — ✅ COMPLETE
- ANSI/Rich formatting works on Windows/macOS/Linux
- Async subprocess with CRLF/LF normalization
- Pure Python dependencies (textual, rich)
- Retro theme CSS applied
When implementing the TUI, use these actual commands:
UnitTestsView should run:
# For C++ unit tests (not pytest suites!)
cmd = ["uv", "run", "test.py", "--cpp"] # All C++ tests
# OR for specific test:
cmd = ["uv", "run", "test.py", test_name] # e.g., "xypath"BuildView should run:
# Use the actual compile wrapper
cmd = ["bash", "compile", platform, "--examples", example_name]
# OR direct call:
cmd = ["uv", "run", "ci/ci-compile.py", platform, "--examples", example_name]PythonQAView should run:
QA_COMMANDS = [
("pytest", ["uv", "run", "pytest", "ci/"]), # Python tests
("ruff-check", ["uv", "run", "ruff", "check", "."]), # Linting
("ruff-format", ["uv", "run", "ruff", "format", "--check", "."]), # Format check
]
# Note: black and isort are NOT used - ruff replaces bothA cross-platform, retro-styled terminal UI for FastLED code-quality and builds. It will orchestrate:
- C++ unit tests via
uv run test.py(with multi-line live updater) - Single-platform embedded compile via
uv run ci/ci-compile.pyorbash compile - Python QA:
pytest ci/,ruff check,ruff format --check(NOTE: ruff replaces black/isort) - "Run all" orchestration (Python QA → Build current platform → C++ Unit tests)
Current Status: ✅ FULLY IMPLEMENTED - The TUI application is complete and functional. Run it with uv run python ci/run.py.
- Cross-platform Windows/macOS/Linux terminals
- Fast feedback (async subprocess streaming)
- Readable two-line task blocks (status + stdout tail)
- Simple entrypoint
bash run→uv run -m ci.run - Optional
--dockervia compile script param (not coupled in TUI) - Retro aesthetic (ANSI borders, bubbles, spinners)

User Input → MainMenu → TaskRunner → TaskEvents → LiveUpdater → Screen Render
- TaskRunner spawns subprocesses via
asyncio.create_subprocess_exec - Streams stdout/stderr lines into task state; Updater shows latest line
- Textual
Reactivefields trigger view updates at ~8 Hz
- Header: bubble "FastLED"; Footer: keybinds
- Main panel: menu or live task blocks
<name> [⠙] running 0:05
➜ "last stdout line"
Done:
<name> ✅ done (0:06)
➜ "PASS (12/12)"
- MainMenu: 1) Unit test 2) Compile platform 3) Python QA 4) Run all
- UnitTestsView: run selected/all C++ tests
- BuildView: compile single platform only
- PythonQAView: run pytest/ruff/black/isort
- AllTestsView: orchestrated run (QA → Build → Unit)
- ANSI handled by Rich/Textual; modern terminals recommended
- Subprocess via asyncio; CRLF/LF normalized during decode
- No native extensions; pure Python deps
- Windows compile: ensure
bashis discoverable or supply a PowerShell wrapper and switch command accordingly
- Command-not-found → inline ❌ with hint
- Timeout → advise higher timeout or fewer parallel jobs
- Non-zero exit → red task with tail
- Ctrl-C → graceful cancellation
✅ All dependencies installed:
textual>=1.0.0— ✅ Added to pyproject.toml and availablerich>=14.1.0— ✅ Terminal formattingpytest— ✅ Python testingruff— ✅ Linting and formatting (replaces black/isort)uv— ✅ Package managerplatformio— ✅ Embedded compilation
Note: The project uses ruff format for formatting and ruff's built-in import sorting. No black or isort required.

textual run --dev ci/run.py - Pin deps in

List[T],Dict[K, V],Set[T],Optional[T](not barelist,dict, etc.) per project pyright config - Logs:
.cache/directory already used for test fingerprinting (consider for TUI logs)
Pre-implementation requirements:
- ✅ Add
textualto pyproject.toml dependencies - ✅ Create
ci/run/directory structure - ✅ Verify all command paths match actual repo structure
- ✅ Use
List[T],Dict[K,V]type annotations (notlist[T],dict[K,V]) - ✅ Test commands work:
uv run test.py,bash compile, etc.
Implementation milestones:
- M1: Scaffold + MainMenu — ✅ COMPLETE
- M2: Async TaskRunner + TaskBlock updater — ✅ COMPLETE
- M3: UnitTests + Build wired to real commands — ✅ COMPLETE
- M4: Python QA view + summary actions — ✅ COMPLETE
- M5: Cross-platform polish — ✅ COMPLETE
Launch the TUI:
# Method 1: Direct script execution
uv run python ci/run.py
# Method 2: As a Python module
uv run -m ci.run
# Dev mode with hot-reload (for development)
textual run --dev ci/run.pyTUI Features:
- Press 1 or select "Run unit test" to run C++ unit tests
- Press 2 or select "Compile platform" to build for embedded platforms
- Press 3 or select "Run Python tests / lints" to run Python QA checks
- Press 4 or select "Run all tests" to run complete CI suite
- Press q to go back or quit
Live Task Display:
- Each task shows real-time status: queued → running → done/failed
- Live stdout/stderr tail displayed below each task
- Elapsed time updates every 125ms
- Spinner animation while tasks are running
