Make sure volta is installed. Verify that it is working correctly via volta list. You should see the same versions of node & yarn as are listed in packages.json.

yarn lingui compile <-- just once, before dev will work

yarn testWe are using playwright with "experimental electron support". As of this writing, it does not appear to be possible to make use of the vite dev server for this. While playwright can point to an arbitrary URL, the render process in electron is tied up with its own chromium browser and, in the case of electron, even has nodejs access. Therefore, e2e tests have to actually run a built exe of lameta.
yarn e2ebuildwatch
yarn e2eNote that at the time of this writing, playwright does not have a "watch" mode via command line, and the "ui" mode, which can watch, does not work with electron.
To run just one e2e fixture, name it:
yarn e2e registration.e2e.tsTo show the Playwright Inspector (which has a recorder), use
yarn e2erecordWhen running lameta, if you see this in the Chrome debug console:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module './en/messages.js'
then you need to do yarn lingui-compile.
The current process, which I don't love, is this:
- Change the version in
package.json - Commit, push. A github action will build installers for Mac and Windows and create an unpublished "Release" on github.
- Find that release, type in the description, and publish it.
