Question: Using custom build of starlingmonkey

[karthik2804]

I am attempting to use the engine produced by a debug build of the PR that refactors fetch.

My understanding is that it should be sufficient to pass the engine argument to the componentize function as below:

const { component, imports } = await componentize(source, {
    sourceName: basename(src),
    witPath: resolve(args.witPath),
    worldName: args.triggerType,
    engine: "./starlingmonkey/cmake-build-debug/starling.wasm",
    disable features: [],
});

I run into the following error.

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at crates/spidermonkey-embedding-splicer/src/splice.rs:119:80:

Is there some trick to getting this to work? or is the current state of the PR incompatible?
Thanks!

The engine to be built is lib/starlingmonkey_embedding.debug.wasm (the release build won't work pending bytecodealliance/StarlingMonkey#50).

To get this file, run make lib/starlingmonkey_embedding.debug.wasm.

The StarlingMonkey build is referenced as a submodule of this repo.

[guybedford]

Hmm actually the debug build of ComponentizeJS isn't working itself, so you do have to use a release build.

Therefore until bytecodealliance/StarlingMonkey#53 is landed you won't be able to progress here.

[karthik2804]

The debug build was not working and the workaround I used was to modify the makefile to build a debug build instead of RelWithDebInfo

ComponentizeJS/Makefile

Line 29 in 519256f

cmake -B build-debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

and then modifying the JS script to point at the right reference.

ComponentizeJS/src/componentize.js

Line 41 in 519256f

new URL(`../lib/starlingmonkey_embedding.wasm`, import.meta.url)

which led me into running into the following error

Splicer error: unable to read prelude sequence, continuing for debug build but note binding functions will not work

[guybedford]

Yes, the debug build does not work for ComponentizeJS.

[karthik2804]

Thanks! This is helpful.

[guybedford]

Latest release build fix for StarlingMonkey is in bytecodealliance/StarlingMonkey#53.

[guybedford]

I've updated the internal build in #111 as an example.
