PyPI	pip install builder2ibek
Documentation	https://epics-containers.github.io/builder2ibek
Releases	https://github.com/epics-containers/builder2ibek/releases

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Testing

Run the full test suite:

uv run pytest

Tests are parameterized per sample XML, so you can run a single IOC:

uv run pytest -k "BL11I-CS-IOC-09"
uv run pytest "tests/test_file_conversion.py::test_convert[BL11I-CS-IOC-09]"

Regenerate expected outputs and schema:

./tests/samples/make_samples.sh
./update-schema
