RaxmlGUI2

A desktop GUI for RAxML.

Development

This is a an Electron App that was bootstrapped with Create React App.

yarn start will start the Electron app and the React app at the same time.
yarn build will build the React app and package it along the Electron app.

End-to-end tests

E2e tests use Playwright to drive the real Electron app against the CRA dev server and the bundled RAxML binaries. Specs in e2e/ load the dev prefilled nucleotide alignment and check the UI and output files:

  • modeltest-then-raxml-ng.spec.js — ModelTest, then a full raxml-ng analysis
  • raxmlHPC.spec.js — classic raxmlHPC (ML search)

Download binaries once, then run:

yarn download-binaries
yarn test:e2e

The test harness sets RAXMLGUI_E2E=1 when launching Electron. That disables DevTools and auto-update checks, and points the main process at the repo static/ directory (example files, binaries, and test output) instead of the packaged app resources path.

Input formats

RaxmlGUI supports both FASTA and PHYLIP format.

The strict phylip format reserves the first ten characters before each sequence for the name. The relaxed format allows longer name but requires no space within the name to know where it ends.
