Basic workflow

To get started with development, follow the steps in Getting Started first.

Run all servers + watch files for changes

grunt dev

• If all went well you should be able to visit http://localhost:3000

Create a tunnel to share access over the Internet:

grunt dev --tunnel

Important

This service (localtunnel) doesn't seem to work anymore. Instead please try localhost.run or serveo instead, e.g.:

$ grunt dev
# then, in another terminal:
$ ssh -R 80:localhost:8000 nokey@localhost.run

Build the app for distribution

grunt deploy

Clean up files in dist/

grunt clean

Run tests.

NOTE: You may need to first install Cypress using ./node_modules/.bin/cypress install

# all tests
grunt test

# all tests while skipping build step
grunt test --skipbuild

# unit tests only (always skips build)
grunt test:unit

# show e2e tests (Cypress) live in a browser
grunt test --browser

# run e2e tests (Cypress) in "open" mode
grunt test --browser=debug

# Developing at the same time as writing E2E tests
grunt dev
# and in another terminal run Cypress in "open" mode
npm run cy:open

# Run a specific Cypress spec against the running 'grunt dev' server:
npx cypress run -c 'baseUrl=http://localhost:8000' --spec "test/cypress/integration/group-chat.spec.js"

This project is tested with BrowserStack.

Using Docker for extra security

You can run commands in a Docker container by using npm run docker -- <cmd> instead.

For example:

npm run docker -- npm install
npm run docker -- grunt dev
npm run docker -- grunt test --skipbuild

For details, see: Docker.md
