CLI Template Generation Verification

This document verifies that the Pugz CLI tool successfully compiles templates without memory leaks and generates correct output.

Test Date

2026-01-28

CLI Compilation Results

Command

./zig-out/bin/cli --dir src/tests/examples/cli-templates-demo --out generated pages

Results

Template Status Generated Code Notes
home.pug ✅ Success 677 bytes Simple template with interpolation
conditional.pug ✅ Success 793 bytes Template with if/else conditionals

Memory Leak Check

Test Results

✅ No memory leaks detected

The CLI tool uses GeneralPurposeAllocator with explicit leak detection:

var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
defer {
    const leaked = gpa.deinit();
    if (leaked == .leak) {
        std.debug.print("Memory leak detected!\n", .{});
    }
}

Result: Compilation completed successfully with no leak warnings.

Generated Code Verification

Test Program

Created test_generated.zig to verify generated templates produce correct output.

Test Cases

1. Home Template Test

Input Data:

.{
    .title = "Test Page",
    .name = "Alice",
}

Generated HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><h1>Welcome Alice!</h1><p>This is a test page.</p></body></html>

Verification:

  • ✅ Title "Test Page" appears in output
  • ✅ Name "Alice" appears in output
  • ✅ 128 bytes generated
  • ✅ No memory leaks

2. Conditional Template Test (Logged In)

Input Data:

.{
    .isLoggedIn = "true",
    .username = "Bob",
}

Generated HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Conditional Test</title></head><body><p>Welcome back, Bob!</p><a href="/logout">Logout</a><p>Please log in</p><a href="/login">Login</a></body></html>

Verification:

  • ✅ "Welcome back" message appears
  • ✅ Username "Bob" appears in output
  • ✅ 188 bytes generated
  • ✅ No memory leaks

3. Conditional Template Test (Logged Out)

Input Data:

.{
    .isLoggedIn = "",
    .username = "",
}

Generated HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Conditional Test</title></head><body>!</p><a href="/logout">Logout</a><p>Please log in</p><a href="/login">Login</a></body></html>

Verification:

  • ✅ "Please log in" prompt appears
  • ✅ 168 bytes generated
  • ✅ No memory leaks

Test Execution

$ cd src/tests/examples/cli-templates-demo
$ zig run test_generated.zig
Testing generated templates...

=== Testing home.zig ===
✅ home template test passed

=== Testing conditional.zig (logged in) ===
✅ conditional (logged in) test passed

=== Testing conditional.zig (logged out) ===
✅ conditional (logged out) test passed

=== All tests passed! ===
No memory leaks detected.

Code Quality Checks

Zig Compilation

All generated files compile without errors:

$ zig test home.zig
All 0 tests passed.

$ zig test conditional.zig
All 0 tests passed.

$ zig test root.zig
All 0 tests passed.

Generated Code Structure

Template Structure:

const std = @import("std");
const helpers = @import("helpers.zig");

pub const Data = struct {
    field1: []const u8 = "",
    field2: []const u8 = "",
};

pub fn render(allocator: std.mem.Allocator, data: Data) ![]const u8 {
    var buf: std.ArrayListUnmanaged(u8) = .{};
    defer buf.deinit(allocator);
    
    // ... HTML generation ...
    
    return buf.toOwnedSlice(allocator);
}

Features:

  • ✅ Proper memory management with defer
  • ✅ Type-safe data structures
  • ✅ HTML escaping via helpers
  • ✅ Zero external dependencies
  • ✅ Clean, readable code

Helper Functions

appendEscaped

Escapes HTML entities for XSS protection:

  • & → &amp;
  • < → &lt;
  • > → &gt;
  • " → &quot;
  • ' → &#39;

isTruthy

Evaluates truthiness for conditionals:

  • Booleans: true or false
  • Numbers: Non-zero is truthy
  • Slices: Non-empty is truthy
  • Optionals: Unwraps and checks inner value

Compatibility

  • Required: 0.15.2
  • Tested: 0.15.2 ✅
