bilibili-evolved-dev-server

name bilibili-evolved-dev-server description Bilibili-Evolved local dev server workflow. Use when working in the Bilibili-Evolved repository and needing to start the dev server, compile or watch one registry component/plugin, create a component/plugin scaffold through the dev server, reason about HTTP build-on-request versus WebSocket commands, or use DevClient during local feature development. Bilibili Evolved Dev Server Core Model Read AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md before making repo changes. Use PowerShell syntax on Windows. Use pnpm ; do not use npm. Start the local dev server with: pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/index.ts HTTP serves static resources only, but requesting /registry/dist/components/<id>.js or /registry/dist/plugins/<id>.js may trigger build-on-request before serving the file. WebSocket is the control plane for explicit commands such as build, watch, stop, create, session query, and graceful server shutdown. dist/ , registry/dist/ , and generated feature docs are not normal development changes. Feature Commands Use these commands when the dev server is already running: pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts sessions pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts build component style/hide/banner pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts build plugin video/player/speed pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts watch component style/hide/banner pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts stop component style/hide/banner pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts shutdown build compiles one feature once without creating a watcher. watch starts or reuses one feature watcher. stop stops one watcher. sessions prints active watched feature paths. shutdown gracefully exits the dev server and its core and feature watchers. Prefer it over terminating the process tree externally. Prefer these commands over full registry builds when validating one component or plugin. Creating Features Create new registry component/plugin scaffolds through the dev server command: $authorName = gh api user --jq ".login" $authorLink = gh api user --jq ".html_url" pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts create component style/my-feature myFeature "My Feature" $authorName $authorLink "Feature description." pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts create plugin video/player/my-plugin myPlugin "My Plugin" $authorName $authorLink "Plugin description." Before creating a feature, get the current GitHub user from gh with gh api user --jq ".login" and use that as authorName ; get the profile URL with gh api user --jq ".html_url" and use that as authorLink . If gh is unavailable, not authenticated, or returns a blank value, ask the user for the GitHub username/profile link before running create . Do not use the code agent name, local OS username, or local Git user.name / user.email for author metadata. After creation, inspect and edit the generated index.ts and index.md . Keep component/plugin names specific and camelCase, include author metadata for contributor-created features, and keep descriptions in index.md . DevClient DevClient connects to ws://localhost:<port> . Starting debug from the settings panel rewrites the feature update URL to the local /registry/dist/... URL and relies on HTTP build-on-request. Stopping debug, losing the dev server, or seeing a feature session disappear should restore the original update URL. If debugging state looks wrong, query sessions first, then inspect DevClient devRecords and auto-update URLs. Browser Checks Bilibili Evolved depends on a userscript manager extension such as Tampermonkey. The built-in browser and Playwright do not provide that extension environment and are not reliable for runtime behavior checks. If real browser validation is useful and available, try controlling the user's Chrome browser because it can use the installed userscript manager, extension permissions, login state, and real Bilibili pages. Browser validation is optional for this skill. If Chrome, the userscript manager, account state, or the target page is unavailable, continue the dev server workflow and report that browser validation was not performed. Validation For TypeScript changes, run pnpm run type . For lint-sensitive changes, run pnpm run lint-check . For core userscript changes, use the dev server's core watcher, which automatically compiles the development build. For registry feature changes, run pnpm tsx dev-tools/dev-server/command.ts build <component|plugin> <id> while the dev server is running; the compiled output is served from memory. pnpm run build-core and pnpm run build-features are production CI or release validations. Run them locally only when explicitly requested, reproducing a CI failure, changing shared build infrastructure, or preparing a release.
