Add Go tests that drive a real headless Chromium (via chromedp) against
the built cmd/tsconnect/pkg/ artifact and verify the @tailscale/connect
public API surface end-to-end. The package has not been republished in
three years, in part because no test exercises the produced artifact at
runtime — only tsc --noEmit and a Go build run in CI.
TestCreateIPN loads pkg.js into the browser, calls createIPN with a junk
auth key, and asserts that pkg.createIPN / pkg.runSSHSession are
functions and that createIPN() returns an IPN with the documented
run/login/logout/ssh/fetch methods. No control-plane traffic.
TestFetchTailnetPeer stands up a full local tailnet (testcontrol +
DERP + a tsnet.Server peer) and verifies that the browser-side WASM
client can join over WebSocket-noise to the same control, connect to
DERP over WSS, and then ipn.fetch() an HTTP service hosted on the tsnet
peer through the tailnet. The test asserts the response body matches a
known string. Browser state transitions are logged: NoState -> NeedsLogin
-> Starting -> Running.
Tests are opt-in via --run-headless-browser-tests (matching the existing
--run-vm-tests pattern in tstest/natlab/vmtest) so they never fire in
casual `go test ./...` runs. When the flag is set, a test is skipped if
cmd/tsconnect/pkg/ has not been built, and fails with t.Error if no
chromium binary is found on $PATH (honoring $CHROME_BIN as an override).
findChromium also falls back to /Applications/Google Chrome.app and
/Applications/Chromium.app on darwin, since macOS Chrome's executable
lives inside an .app bundle and is not on $PATH by default. The
.github/workflows/test.yml wasm job is extended to install
google-chrome-stable and run the tests with the flag after build-pkg.
To prevent silently testing a stale pkg/main.wasm (built from an older
checkout than the rest of the test invocation), build-pkg now writes
pkg/build-info.json recording the sha256 of the raw (pre-wasm-opt)
go-build output. The test does its own `go build` of
cmd/tsconnect/wasm with the same -tags/-trimpath/-ldflags (factored
into a new cmd/tsconnect/wasmbuild package shared by both call sites)
and t.Fatalfs with a "rebuild" instruction on mismatch. Cost is
near-zero because the Go build cache from the prior build-pkg makes
the rebuild a cache hit.
The new wasmbuild package also replaces cmd/tsconnect's hardcoded -tags
string with a minimal-feature-set computation. wasmbuild.Keep names the
small set of feature/featuretags entries the browser client actually
needs (netstack, logtail, dns, health, c2n, ipnbus); wasmbuild.Tags()
emits a ts_omit_<f> for every other
omittable feature in feature/featuretags.Features, with transitive deps
expanded via featuretags.Requires. An init() panics if Keep references
a feature unknown to feature/featuretags so a rename there fails
loudly. Net effect on size: 32M raw / 9.4M brotli before this change,
25M raw / 4.4M brotli after — vs the last-published 1.39.98 at 21M /
3.8M. The transitive package-import graph is unchanged (176
tailscale.com/* packages either way): featuretags omits eliminate
dead code via `const HasX = false`, not imports. Trimming the import
graph would require a separate, larger refactor splitting interface
packages by build tag.
Writing TestFetchTailnetPeer surfaced several real issues, all fixed
here:
* cmd/tsconnect built the wasm with the nethttpomithttp2 tag, but
control/ts2021 (since commit 1d93bdce2, "control/controlclient:
remove x/net/http2, use net/http", Oct 2025) requires HTTP/2 from
net/http's bundled implementation. With nethttpomithttp2 set, the
bundle is excluded and the wasm client cannot speak HTTP/2 to any
control plane, including production. Drop the tag. Wasm size grows
~1 MB raw / ~300 KB brotli (more than offset by the feature
pruning above). The last published @tailscale/connect (1.39.98,
early 2023) pre-dates the regression, which is why no consumer has
reported the breakage.
* tstest/integration/testcontrol.Server's /ts2021 noise upgrade
endpoint rejected anything but POST. WebSocket clients (the only
transport available to browser-WASM) come in as GET. Allow both;
the controlhttp AcceptHTTP path dispatches on the Upgrade header,
so the websocket library still enforces GET for WS upgrades.
This matches production, where the same controlhttpserver.AcceptHTTP
routes purely on the Upgrade header without checking method.
* derp/derphttp's urlString built the DERP URL from node.HostName
only, dropping node.DERPPort. Non-WS clients use a separate code
path (connectToHost) that honors DERPPort, but WebSocket-only
clients (browser-WASM) went through urlString and so could not
reach a DERP running on any port other than 443. Include the port
when it differs from the scheme default.
Also move addWebSocketSupport from cmd/derper (where it was main-only)
to derp/derpserver.AddWebSocketSupport so tstest/integration.RunDERPAndSTUN
can wrap its DERP handler with WebSocket support — without that, the
test DERP would not accept the browser's wss connection.

tsconnect
The tsconnect command builds and serves the static site that is generated for the Tailscale Connect JS/WASM client.
Development
To start the development server:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev
The site is served at http://localhost:9090/. JavaScript, CSS and Go wasm package changes can be picked up with a browser reload. Server-side Go changes require the server to be stopped and restarted. In development mode the state the Tailscale client state is stored in sessionStorage and will thus survive page reloads (but not the tab being closed).
Deployment
To build the static assets necessary for serving, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build
To serve them, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect serve
By default the build output is placed in the dist/ directory and embedded in the binary, but this can be controlled by the -distdir flag. The -addr flag controls the interface and port that the serve listens on.
Library / NPM Package
The client is also available as an NPM package. To build it, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build-pkg
That places the output in the pkg/ directory, which may then be uploaded to a package registry (or installed from the file path directly).
To do two-sided development (on both the NPM package and code that uses it), run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev-pkg
This serves the module at http://localhost:9090/pkg/pkg.js and the generated wasm file at http://localhost:9090/pkg/main.wasm. The two files can be used as drop-in replacements for normal imports of the NPM module.
