How to build and test Uni Switch from source with Uni Switch

Install dependencies, run the checks and build the desktop app from the repository.

Who it is forA developer who wants to audit, modify or contribute to Uni Switch and needs a local build that matches the released code.

The problemReviewing or changing the app requires a reproducible build and test run on your own machine.

The outcomeThe frontend checks and Rust tests pass, and a desktop build is produced in the bundle output folder.

What you need first

  • A desktop computer running Windows, Linux or macOS
  • An API address and API Key from your provider
  • Codex or Claude Code installed on the same machine
  • For building from source: Node.js 20 or newer, Rust 1.89 or newer, and the platform build tools listed in the README

Steps

  1. Install Node.js 20 or newer, Rust 1.89 or newer, and the platform build tools named in the README.
  2. Run corepack enable in the repository folder.
  3. Run corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile.
  4. Run corepack pnpm typecheck and corepack pnpm test.
  5. Run powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/with-msvc.ps1 -Action build on Windows to create the installer.

Prompt for your agent

Clone github.com/dieqiyun/uni-switch and run the frontend typecheck and tests with pnpm. Expected output: typecheck and test results with pass or fail counts. Verify that the lockfile install completed with --frozen-lockfile before running the tests.

Caveat. The README gives the exact build commands only for Windows PowerShell, so Linux and macOS builds need you to follow the platform notes and the linked docs.
