Development Guide

Setup

First, clone the project

git clone https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier.git
cd nativefier

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build nativefier:

npm run build

Set up a symbolic link so that running nativefier calls your dev version with your changes:

npm link
which nativefier
# -> Should return a path, e.g. /home/youruser/.node_modules/lib/node_modules/nativefier
# If not, be sure your `npm_config_prefix` env var is set and in your `PATH`

After doing so, you can run Nativefier with your test parameters:

nativefier --your-awesome-new-flag 'https://your-test-site.com'

Then run your nativefier app through the command line too (to see logs & errors):

# Under Linux
./your-test-site-linux-x64/your-test-site

# Under Windows
your-test-site-win32-x64/your-test-site.exe

# Under macOS
open -a YourTestSite.app

Linting & formatting

Nativefier uses Prettier, which will shout at you for not formatting code exactly like it expects. This guarantees a homogenous style, but is painful to do manually. Do yourself a favor and install a Prettier plugin for your editor.

Tests

  • To run all tests, npm t
  • To run only unit tests, npm run test:unit
  • To run only integration tests, npm run test:integration
  • Logging is suppressed by default in tests, to avoid polluting Jest output. To get debug logs, npm run test:withlog or set the LOGLEVEL env. var.
  • For a good live experience, open two terminal panes/tabs running code/tests watchers: 2. Run a TSC watcher: npm run build:watch 3. Run a Jest unit tests watcher: npm run test:watch
