Debugging with slangpy repro steps

When debugging slangpy compatibility issues or testing Slang changes against slangpy, follow these steps to build slangpy from source using your local Slang build.

Prerequisites:

  • •Python 3.10+ installed
  • •Slang built in Debug or Release configuration
  • •Git with submodules support

Step 1: Build Slang

bash
# From Slang repository root
cmake --preset default
cmake --build --preset debug    # or --preset release

Step 2: Clone slangpy Repository

bash
# Clone with submodules (required for slangpy build)
git clone https://github.com/shader-slang/slangpy.git external/slangpy
cd external/slangpy
git submodule update --init --recursive

Read external/slangpy/CLAUDE.md for general information about the repo.

Step 3: Build and Install slangpy with Local Slang

On Windows:

bash
cd external/slangpy
SET CMAKE_ARGS=-DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG=ON -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_DIR=../.. -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_BUILD_DIR=build/Debug
python.exe -m pip install -e .

On Linux/macOS:

bash
cd external/slangpy
CMAKE_ARGS="-DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG=ON -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_DIR=../.. -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_BUILD_DIR=build/Debug" python -m pip install -e .

On Windows WSL:

bash
cd external/slangpy
WSLENV+=:CMAKE_ARGS CMAKE_ARGS='-DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG=ON -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_DIR=../.. -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_BUILD_DIR=build/Debug' python.exe -m pip install -e .

Step 4: Install Test Dependencies

bash
# From external/slangpy directory
python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt --user
python -m pip install pytest-xdist --user

Step 5: Run Tests

Write a test case under external/slangpy/slangpy/tests and run it with pytest.

The following example is to run all of the existing slangpy tests:

bash
# From external/slangpy directory
python -m pytest slangpy/tests -ra -n auto --maxprocesses=3
python tools/ci.py unit-test-python

Notes

  • •Use -DSGL_LOCAL_SLANG_BUILD_DIR=build/Release for Release builds
  • •The -e flag installs in editable mode, allowing you to modify slangpy source
  • •Tests run in parallel with -n auto for faster execution
  • •Some tests may skip if GPU hardware is not available

Troubleshooting

  • •If tests fail to find slangc, verify the SLANG_BUILD_DIR path is correct
  • •If import fails, check that slangpy was installed: python -c "import slangpy; print(slangpy.__file__)"
  • •For GPU-specific test failures, ensure drivers are up to date

Interactive Workflow

If $ARGUMENTS specifies a build type (debug or release), use that. Otherwise default to debug.

  1. •Check if slangpy is already cloned at external/slangpy/
  2. •If not, clone it (Step 2)
  3. •Build and install with the appropriate build type
  4. •Ask the user what test to run or what issue to investigate
