That exercises running, falling and + collision-based pickup in one scenario, and the "falling next to the coins + does not collect them" assertion pins the pickup on the contact. +- **`starting-3D-platformer`** — Jump (`PhysicsCharacter3D.IsJumping` + + height), and walking into a coin. Collection is a "within 50 units" + distance check, so the walk test asserts the coin survives 12 frames of + standing 140 units away and then disappears once the player walks into it. +- **`starting-3d-driving`** — There are no events at all in this game: it is + pure `PhysicsCar3D` behaviour, so the tests target the behaviour itself. + Accelerating: engine revs up, the car travels **along its heading** (not + sideways) and does not turn while no steering key is held. Cones: the car + is lined up 120px from the first cone on the road and driven into it. +- **`starting-3d-tank`** — Firing: exactly one shell, leaving from the end of + the cannon (>50px from the tank centre), flying along + `Angle + TopRotation`, and — keeping `f` held for 30 frames — **not** + turning into a machine gun (the firing event is a "trigger once", which is + worth locking down). Target: the tank is parked 340px from a target with + the target 15° off the turret axis, the turret is turned onto it with + `a`/`d`, and the shell's explosion has to move the target. +- **`starting-first-person-shooter`** — Movement: `w` walks along the facing + direction and `d` strafes *sideways* without turning the player (the + camera-relative WASD scheme is the distinctive thing to protect here). + Shooting: aim down onto a target with mouse deltas, fire, then assert both + that the impact effect lands on the target and that the target is knocked + over. + +--- + +## Missing in the harness + +### 1. No way to raise the 30 s wall-clock timeout (this was the biggest constraint) + +`timeoutMs`/`maxFrames` exist in the run payload but a `gd::Test` only +stores `name`/`type`/`description`/`source`, so a test cannot ask for more +time.

Concretely I had to drop the jump test +from the FPS starter to keep the movement test inside the budget, park +vehicles next to what they are supposed to hit instead of driving there, and +avoid `resetSceneAndProbeControls` in 3D entirely (see below). + +Two things would fix this, and the first is cheap: + +- Expose `timeoutMs` (and `maxFrames`) as fields of a test, next to + `description`. A test that legitimately needs 60 s of wall clock should be + able to say so. +- **The wall clock is dominated by rendering, not by the game logic.** The + profiler in the very same runs reports `avgStepMs` of **1.0–1.5 ms** for + `starting-platformer` and **3.4–6.3 ms** for the 3D starters, while those + runs advance at 85–310 ms of wall clock per stepped frame. Stepping is + therefore **1–2 %** of the time; the rest is the render performed while + `_maybeYield` waits on `requestAnimationFrame` (each animation frame costs + hundreds of milliseconds with software WebGL). A headless CLI run does not + need a render per simulated frame — a "render at most every N ms of wall + clock" cap, or a `renderEveryFrame: false` run option, would make these + tests roughly an order of magnitude faster without changing anything a + test observes. Screenshots would just need a forced render before capture. + Note that `result.performance.avgStepMs` being tiny while a test times out + is itself confusing: the timeout message could mention how much of the + budget went to rendering/yielding. + +### 2. `getRelativePosition` / `lookTowardWithMouseDelta` measure from the object centre, not from the camera + +This makes the FPS aiming helpers unusable on `starting-first-person-shooter`, +and the failure is silent — it reports success while aiming at nothing: + +- The game's camera is at `Player.Z + Player.Depth` (the top of the capsule, + z = 80), while `getRelativePosition` uses the player's **centre** + (z = 40). The targets sit at z ≈ 44, so the harness computes + `pitchDiff ≈ 0.37°`, decides the aim is already correct, and + `lookTowardWithMouseDelta` returns `{aimed: true, pitchDiff: 0.37}` after + stepping **zero frames**. Firing then sends the ray straight over the + targets into the wall behind them (verified: the impact effect landed at + z = 80, y = 0 — 173 units past the target). The real angle needed was + 3.3° **down**. +- Even with the right eye height it would not work, because the harness + reads the pitch from `getRotationX()` while this game's + `FirstPersonPointerMapper` pitches the player with `SetRotationY` (its own + source even carries a `// TODO It's probably a bad idea to rotate the + object around Y` comment). The harness would therefore measure a pitch + that never moves, hit `maxUnresponsivePitchFrames`, and *undo* the vertical + aim it had applied — ending up looking straight ahead again. + +I ended up not using `lookTowardWithMouseDelta` at all and writing a small +proportional controller on `player.rotationY` with an explicit eye height of +`player.z + player.depth`. That works, but it required reading the +extension's `LookFromObjectEyes` events to find out where the camera is — +exactly the kind of digging the helper is meant to remove. + +Suggestions: +- Let `getRelativePosition` take an eye/muzzle offset, e.g. + `getRelativePosition('Player', target, { fromZ: player.z + player.depth })`, + or aim from the **actual camera** of the object's layer when one exists. +- Expose the layer camera in a JSON-safe way — `getCameraState(layerName)` + returning `{x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, angle}`. Today the only route is + `getRuntimeLayer(...)` and raw GDJS, and the docs explicitly discourage it. +- Derive the pitch from whichever rotation the game actually drives (or + report both `rotationX` and `rotationY` deltas in the aim result) instead + of assuming `rotationX`. + +### 3. No way to aim a turret that is independent from the object + +In `starting-3d-tank` the aiming direction is `Angle() + TopRotation()` +(a property of the `CombinedTank` custom object), not the object's angle. +`getRelativePosition().yawDiff` is therefore off by the whole turret +rotation and cannot be used. I recomputed the bearing by hand with +`Math.atan2` on the centres. A `yawDiff` that could be measured against an +arbitrary heading — `getRelativePosition(name, target, { heading: tank.angle ++ tank.state.TopRotation })` — would cover every turret/weapon/tower game. + +### 4. `resetSceneAndProbeControls` is unusable in 3D under the current time budget + +It is the recommended mandatory first step, but each probe restarts the +scene, and one scene load costs ~1.4 s of wall clock in these 3D starters +(measured). Probing four keys means six loads — baseline, four keys, plus +the final reset — so ~8 s of loading *plus* 5 × 40 = 200 stepped frames, +which is more than an entire test's budget on its own. In +`starting-3D-platformer` I +replaced it by reading `PhysicsCharacter3D.ForwardAngle` from the behaviour +state, which is exact and free; that only works because the character +behaviour happens to expose the heading. Ideas: a probe mode that does not +restart between keys (probe, release, wait for the object to settle, probe +the next), or a `probeFrames` default lowered for 3D. + +### 5. Small gaps met along the way + +- **No "was this object just created / destroyed" signal.** Several + assertions ("a shell was fired", "an impact effect appeared") are written + as before/after counts of `getObjects(...)`, which is fragile when the + object is short-lived (the tank shell explodes ~22 frames after the shot, + the FPS impact particle is a `ParticleEmitter3D`). An `eventLog` entry for + object creation/deletion, or `harness.watchCreations('Bullet')` returning + the ids created during a window, would express this directly. +- **No access to the sound that was played.** Coin pickup, gunshots and + explosions all `PlaySound`; being able to assert "the pickup sound played" + would be a very cheap, very direct check of "the mechanic fired" in games + where the visible consequence is subtle. +- **Screenshots go to disk only.** `takeScreenshot` writes files next to the + project; from a CLI batch it would help to have their base64 in the result + JSON, or at least a note in the CLI output that + `gameplay-test-screenshots/` was written (it must not be committed). + +--- + +## What was complicated or surprising + +### The CLI runner needs `GDEVELOP` set, or it fails with a misleading message + +`GAMEPLAY_TESTS_STARTERS_SETUP.sh run ` defaults `GDEVELOP` to +`$HOME/GDevelop`. On this machine `$HOME` is `/root` while the checkout is +`/home/user/GDevelop`, so the `cd` inside `run_gameplay_tests` failed, the +electron command never ran, and the script reported +`ERROR: no results file was written - check the dev server is running`, +which sends you off to debug a dev server that was perfectly fine. Passing +`GDEVELOP=... bash ... run ...` fixes it. The script could `set -e` around +the `cd`, or check that `$GDEVELOP/newIDE/electron-app` exists up front. + +### The setup script's step order breaks a fresh install + +Step 3 (`npm install` in `newIDE/app`) runs before step 4 (pre-downloading +the piskel/jfxr/yarn editor zips with proxy-aware curl), but `npm install`'s +own postinstall runs `import-zipped-external-editors`, which uses a +non-proxy-aware downloader: + +``` +🌐 Outdated/non-existing piskel-editor, downloading it ... +❌ Can't download piskel-editor.zip (Error: Client network socket disconnected + before secure TLS connection was established) +npm error command failed +``` + +The whole setup aborts. Moving the curl pre-download (step 4) **before** the +`npm install` of step 3 makes it work first time — the comment in the script +("so the import step finds them up-to-date and skips") already describes +that intent, the steps are just in the wrong order. + +### `Jolt is not defined` — intermittent, breaks any Physics3D game + +Two runs out of the ~30 runs of the 3D starters made here failed instantly +with: + +``` +ERROR (0 frames, 13ms) +ReferenceError: Jolt is not defined + at new b (.../Physics3DRuntimeBehavior.js:1:418) + at b.getSharedData ... + at u.loadFromScene (.../runtimescene.js) + at g._loadNewScene (.../scenestack.js) + at f.startGameLoop ... +``` + +The first scene is created before the asynchronously-loaded Jolt library is +available, even though `loadAllAssets` awaits +`getAllAsynchronouslyLoadingLibraryPromise()`. It is a race — the same +project run again immediately afterwards succeeds. Useful detail: it only +ever hit the **first test of a batch**; in the run above, the second test of +the same batch passed normally right after, so the library had finished +loading by then. *(Reported as already known and being fixed separately; the +tests here do not work around it.)* + +### The result status can be misleading when a test's own step budget is too small + +A test whose input is broken but whose `stepUntil` has a generous +`maxFrames` reports `timeout` (wall clock) rather than `failed`, and the +result then says nothing about which assertion did not hold. I checked this +by deliberately breaking the inputs of the two `starting-platformer` tests: +the jump test failed cleanly with +`Assertion failed: The player leaves the floor when jumping.`, while the +coin test only timed out. Sizing every `stepUntil` to roughly twice what the +working case needs turns those into clean failures — worth stating as a rule +in the guide, since the natural instinct is to leave `maxFrames` generous. + +### Smaller surprises + +- `getObjects('X')[0].behaviors.Y.state` throwing on an unknown name with + the list of available names is genuinely great. `Object.keys(state)` also + works on the proxy, which made a single exploration run enough to learn + every state name of a game — worth documenting explicitly. +- Object snapshots have `centerZ`, and it is the coordinate that matters in + every 3D check here; the guide's warning to prefer `centerX/centerY` over + `x + width/2` should mention `centerZ` in the same breath. +- `getNearby(...)` sorts by distance, but ties are common in symmetric + starter levels (`starting-3D-platformer` has two coins at exactly 393 + units). Tests that pick `[0]` need to stay correct for either of them. +- In `starting-3d-driving` the car's `EngineSpeed` idles at 1000, not 0, so + "the engine is spinning" is not a proof that the accelerator works; the + test compares against the idle value it measured rather than against zero. +- `setObjectPosition` on a physics body works exactly as documented, + including for the `PhysicsCar3D` bodies — repositioning the car and the + tank a short run-up away from their target is what made those two tests + fit in the time budget at all. + +--- + +## Suspected runtime bugs + +1. **`Jolt is not defined` race at first scene load** (above) — a real + runtime/boot ordering bug, not a test-harness one. Known/being fixed. +2. **`FirstPersonPointerMapper` pitches the player with `SetRotationY`.** + The extension's own events carry `// TODO It's probably a bad idea to + rotate the object around Y`. Whatever the right answer is, the harness's + `pitchDiff` (which reads `getRotationX()`) and this extension disagree, + so FPS aim helpers silently do nothing on this starter and every game + built from it. +3. Not a bug, but worth knowing: in `starting-first-person-shooter` the + "first click to focus" that engages the pointer lock **also fires the + gun** (the shooting event only excludes the cursor being over the controls + toggle). Tests must count impact effects from *after* that click, not + from the start of the scene.

On `main`, every game with gameplay tests is tested, split across several containers (the `all-gameplay-tests-parallelism` pipeline parameter). On a branch or Pull Request, only the games it modifies are tested. A pipeline can also be triggered with `run-all-gameplay-tests` to check everything from a branch. Results are reported as JUnit, so CircleCI shows each gameplay test with the assertion that failed, and splits the next runs by recorded timings. The per game results, GDevelop output and failure screenshots are stored as artifacts.

For the harness: this is the same missing piece as the object creation signal above — "what was created during this window, and where did it go" is not answerable today. +### Arrange by moving the *other* object, not the physics character + +`starting-first-person-horror` needs the monster and the player near each +other, and the obvious way to arrange that is `setObjectPosition` on the +player — it is the object the test is about. That went badly: the player is a +Physics3D character, and dropping it at a spot the test picked from +coordinates alone put it inside or above unknown terrain, after which the +physics engine threw it around. The player moved 378, then 48, then 944 units +in three consecutive runs *while no key was pressed*, which of course +destroys any "did the monster close the gap" measurement. + +Moving the **monster** instead fixed it, and moving it *along the line +between the two* rather than to an arbitrary offset kept it on ground both of +them can stand on. The general rule that came out of this: when a test needs +two objects near each other, reposition the one whose exact physics state the +test does not depend on, and place it relative to the other one rather than +at absolute coordinates. The test then also gets a free sanity check — +`playerMoved < 20` asserts the player really was left alone, so a repeat of +this failure mode shows up as an explicit failure instead of a wrong number. + +A harness-side fix would help here: there is no way to ask "is this position +free / on the ground", and no way to place an object in a way the physics +world accepts (`setObjectPosition` teleports the render position and lets the +simulation catch up). A `placeObjectNear(objectId, otherId, distance)` that +does the right thing for physics bodies would make this class of arrangement +one line and remove the trial and error. + +### A "warm up" input that itself triggers game logic ruins before/after counts + +The FPS tests use a first click to take pointer lock before doing anything +meaningful, so that habit was carried into +`starting-first-person-shooter-horror`'s shooting test. It made the test fail +in a confusing way: the count of impact particles went from 1 to 1. The dummy +click *was itself a shot*, it created a particle, and that particle expired +during the frames the test stepped before the real click — so the "before" +count was not 0, the "after" count was not 2, and the assertion +`after > before` was simply false while the game was working perfectly. + +Removing the dummy click entirely was the fix — shooting only reads the mouse +button, pointer lock is irrelevant to it — and the test got stronger as a +result: it can now assert `particlesBefore === 0`, which pins down that the +one particle observed at the end is unambiguously the one the test's own +click created. Two things generalise: a warm-up input is only safe if it is +genuinely inert for the thing being measured (check what it triggers before +adding one), and any before/after count over short-lived objects should +assert the "before" value, not just the direction of the change.
