ArkTS-Sta Playground Runner

Overview

This skill runs ArkTS-Sta code using the ArkTS-Sta Playground HTTP API, providing fast and reliable code execution without browser automation.

Quick Start

Basic Usage

Run an ArkTS-Sta file:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py path/to/code.ets

Run code directly as a string:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --code "let x: number = 42; console.log(x);"

Get JSON output for programmatic parsing:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --json --code "console.log('Hello');"

Setup Requirements

Install Python dependencies:

pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

Required package: requests>=2.31.0

Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Quick Code Testing

When testing ArkTS-Sta syntax or verifying code logic:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --code "
enum Numbers {
  A = 10,
  B = 2.57,
  C = 0x2B7F,
  D = -1.5,
  E = 12
}
"

Pattern 2: Batch Testing

For testing multiple files:

for file in test/*.ets; do
    python3 scripts/run_playground.py --json "$file" > "results/$(basename $file .ets).json"
done

How It Works

The script uses the HTTP API endpoint:

1. Sends your ArkTS-Sta code to https://arkts-play.cn.bz-openlab.ru:10443/compile
2. Receives compilation results and output
3. Returns formatted results (success status, output, errors)

API Endpoint

Base URL: https://arkts-play.cn.bz-openlab.ru:10443/compile

Method: POST

Request:

{
  "code": "your ArkTS-Sta code here"
}

Response:

{
  "output": "execution output or empty",
  "error": "error message if compilation failed, null otherwise"
}

Troubleshooting

Connection issues

If you get connection errors:

1. Check internet connectivity
2. Verify the API endpoint is accessible
3. Check firewall settings

# Test connectivity
curl -X POST https://arkts-play.cn.bz-openlab.ru:10443/compile \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code":"let x: number = 42;"}'

Timeout issues

Increase timeout if the API is slow:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --timeout 60 path/to/code.ets

SSL certificate errors

If you encounter SSL certificate issues, you may need to:

• Ensure your system's CA certificates are up to date
• Or modify the script to disable SSL verification (not recommended for production)

Common Use Cases

Learn ArkTS Syntax

Test and explore ArkTS language features:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --code "
// Test union types
let value: string | number = 'hello';
value = 42;
console.log(value);
"

Quick Prototype Verification

Verify code logic before integrating into your project:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --code "
function calculateSum(a: number, b: number): number {
    return a + b;
}
console.log('Sum:', calculateSum(10, 20));
"

Debug Code Snippets

Find compilation errors in your code:

# Run with JSON output for programmatic checking
python3 scripts/run_playground.py --json problem.ets

# Check exit status
if python3 scripts/run_playground.py code.ets; then
    echo "Compilation successful"
else
    echo "Compilation failed"
fi

Script Output

The script returns a JSON structure (with --json flag):

{
  "success": true,
  "output": "Execution result here...",
  "error": null,
  "has_error": false
}

Fields:

• success: Boolean indicating if the API request succeeded
• output: Code output or compilation output
• error: Error message if compilation failed, null otherwise
• has_error: Boolean indicating if the code has compilation errors

Example: Testing Enum with Floating Point

Test if enum with non-integer values causes errors:

python3 scripts/run_playground.py --code "
enum Numbers {
  A = 10,
  B = 2.57,
  C = 0x2B7F,
  D = -1.5,
  E = 12
}
"

Expected result: Should fail with an error about enum values needing to be integers.

Limitations

• Requires internet access to the API endpoint
• API rate limiting may apply
• Compilation output format depends on the API response

Tips for Efficient Usage

1. Use JSON output for programmatic processing (--json)
2. Batch test multiple files using shell loops
3. Check exit codes in scripts for success/failure
