hipdnn-superbuild-test	Run tests against an existing hipDNN superbuild. Supports per-component selection (hipdnn, miopen-provider, hipblaslt-provider, hip-kernel-provider, integration-tests), unit/integration/external-integration scope, and gtest filtering. Reproduces the cross-provider external-integration-check suite. Handles Windows DLL PATH automatically.

hipDNN Superbuild Test Runner

Use this skill when the user asks to test an existing hipDNN superbuild. It does not configure or build the project. If no superbuild exists, tell the user to build first with hipdnn-superbuild.

Inputs

Infer options from the user request:

• Component: hipdnn, miopen, hipblaslt, hip-kernel, integration-tests, or all; default all
• Scope: unit, integration, external-integration, or all; default unit. external-integration covers the cross-provider hipdnn_integration_tests suite (the <provider>-external-integration-check targets)
• Filter: optional gtest filter; when present, run test binaries directly
• Verbose: use verbose test targets when requested
• Keep going: continue after failures only when requested
• ROCm path: optional ROCM_PATH=<path> override; Linux defaults to /opt/rocm
• Jobs: optional explicit parallelism only when the user requests it and active workspace instructions permit it

Workflow

1. Determine the repository root:

   git rev-parse --show-toplevel
   

2. Resolve paths:

   • Build directory: honor active workspace instructions first; otherwise use <repo-root>/build.
   • Binary directory: <build-dir>/bin.
   • Helper scripts: skills are host-level, not tied to a repo checkout — default to the scripts bundled with the skill you were invoked from (<skill-directory>/scripts), even when working inside a repo or worktree. Do NOT run the <repo-root>/projects/hipdnn/tools/ai/skills/hipdnn-superbuild-test/scripts copy just because a checkout is present: it can be a stale stub (on develop) or an unmerged in-progress version (on a feature branch). Use the source-checkout copy only when actively developing this skill itself to exercise your in-progress edits, or when the invoked skill has no bundled scripts/ directory.

3. Verify the superbuild exists:

   ls <build-dir>/build.ninja
   

   Stop if it is missing.

4. Resolve ROCm path on Windows:

   python3 <scripts>/windows_rocm_setup.py --repo-root <repo-root> [--rocm-path <path>]
   

   Parse ROCM_PATH=... from stdout and set ROCM_BIN=<rocm-path>/bin. Skip this step on Linux unless the user supplied an override. On Windows, always pass the resolved ROCM_BIN to cmake_run.py (steps 6-8) via --rocm-bin: it is required both for the runtime PATH and for staging the wheel's amd_comgr.dll app-local (see Notes).

5. Discover CMake test targets:

   python3 <scripts>/discover_test_targets.py --build-dir <build-dir> --component <component> --scope <scope>
   

   The helper prints <component>:<target> lines. It also handles the hip-kernel-provider path-qualified target naming. With --scope external-integration (or all) it also emits a <component>:command:<cmdline> line — the resolved cross-provider hipdnn_integration_tests invocation (with --test-article/--test-engine/--test-config) read from the generated CTestTestfile.cmake, with any baked-in --gtest_filter stripped so you can supply your own. If the helper reports that Ninja target discovery failed, treat that as an invalid or stale build directory and stop with the helper's diagnostic. If discovery succeeds but no targets match, report that the requested component or scope is not present in the existing superbuild.

6. Run tests through cmake_run.py when no gtest filter is requested:

   python3 <scripts>/cmake_run.py --build-dir <build-dir> --target <target> [--rocm-path <path>] [--rocm-bin <path>] > <log> 2>&1
   

   Add --jobs <N> only when explicit jobs are both requested and permitted. For verbose mode, append -verbose to the target name.

7. Run direct binaries when a gtest filter is requested:

   python3 <scripts>/cmake_run.py --build-dir <build-dir> --binary <binary-path> --gtest-filter "<filter>" [--extra-arg=<flag> ...] [-- <passthrough args>] [--rocm-path <path>] [--rocm-bin <path>] > <log> 2>&1
   

   Use the component-to-binary mapping below to choose binaries. cmake_run.py accepts arbitrary passthrough flags for the binary: simple values via repeatable --extra-arg (use --extra-arg=--flag for flag-like values), or an entire flag list after a literal --. Passing multiple tokens inside --binary is rejected with a clear error.

8. Reproduce the cross-provider external-integration suite (--scope external-integration):

   • To run the whole suite exactly as CI does, build the custom target:

     python3 <scripts>/cmake_run.py --build-dir <build-dir> --target <provider>-external-integration-check [--rocm-path <path>] [--rocm-bin <path>] > <log> 2>&1
     

   • To run with a custom gtest filter, take the <component>:command:<cmdline> line from step 5, run the first token as --binary and the rest after --, adding your own --gtest-filter:

     python3 <scripts>/cmake_run.py --build-dir <build-dir> --binary <hipdnn_integration_tests> -- <--test-article ... --test-engine ... --test-config ...> --gtest_filter=<filter> > <log> 2>&1
     

9. For every command, keep full output in a log and show only a short tail on failure. Track pass/fail per component. Stop at the first failure unless keep-going was requested.

Direct Binary Mapping

Component	Unit Binaries	Integration Binaries	External Integration (cross-provider)
hipdnn	hipdnn_backend_tests, hipdnn_frontend_tests, hipdnn_data_sdk_tests, hipdnn_flatbuffers_sdk_tests, hipdnn_plugin_sdk_tests, hipdnn_test_sdk_tests	hipdnn_public_backend_tests, hipdnn_public_frontend_tests, hipdnn_backend_logging_shutdown_tests	—
miopen	miopen_plugin_tests	miopen_plugin_integration_tests	miopen-provider-external-integration-check (hipdnn_integration_tests + miopen_plugin, engine MIOPEN_ENGINE)
hipblaslt	hipblaslt_plugin_tests	hipblaslt_plugin_integration_tests	hipblaslt-provider-external-integration-check (hipdnn_integration_tests + hipblaslt_plugin, engine HIPBLASLT_ENGINE)
hip-kernel	hip_kernel_provider_tests	hip_kernel_provider_integration_tests	hip-kernel-provider-external-integration-check when present
integration-tests	hipdnn_integration_tests_unit_tests	hipdnn_integration_tests, hipdnn_gpu_ref_tests	—

The exact article/engine/config for the external suite is resolved at build time; get the ready-to-run command from discover_test_targets.py --scope external-integration (the command: line) rather than hardcoding paths.

Report

Summarize per-component results:

hipdnn:
  hipdnn-unit-check: PASS
miopen-provider:
  miopen-provider-unit-check: FAIL (see <log>)

If a requested component has no matching target, say that it was not present in the existing superbuild and name the preset or component likely needed.

Notes

• scripts/cmake_run.py, scripts/discover_test_targets.py, scripts/windows_rocm_setup.py, and scripts/comgr_stage.py are bundled in this skill so linked and copied installs work independently.
• Windows DLL loading is handled by cmake_run.py, which sets PATH in Python's subprocess environment before launching CMake or test binaries.
• Windows comgr staging: before launching any target or binary on Windows, cmake_run.py stages the wheel's amd_comgr.dll into <build-dir>/bin (via comgr_stage.py) so MIOpen's runtime JIT does not load the driver's stale System32 comgr. This happens on every Windows run, not just for a specific kernel path; GCN-assembly Winograd solvers are the common failure ([BuildAsm] comgr status = ERROR / unknown emulation: no-xnack), but the version mismatch is not limited to them. This needs --rocm-bin to be passed. The copy is skipped when the staged comgr already matches the wheel's PE version, so it adds no cost on repeat runs. Disable with --no-stage-comgr if ever needed. To confirm which comgr loaded, run a test with MIOPEN_LOG_LEVEL=7 MIOPEN_ENABLE_LOGGING=1 and grep for COMgr v. (a low version indicates the stale System32 copy; the wheel's is newer).
• Integration tests require an AMD GPU. Unit scope is the default for CPU-only validation.
• Prefer running test binaries through cmake_run.py (it wires PATH/ROCM_PATH for the loader); pass extra binary flags via --extra-arg/-- <args> rather than folding them into --binary.
