Tooling

NPM (Recommended)

While milo does not require NPM to function, you will need to install npm packages (npm install) to:

1. Lint
2. Test
3. Run libs

Recommendations

You can use any text editor or IDE of your choice, but milo is highly optimized for VS Code. Milo provides recommended extensions (use the filters) and debugging tools.

Libs

If you want to see how your local milo changes impact a consuming site you will need to work on a different port.

npm run libs

Milo will run at:

http://localhost:6456

You can then test any of the following:

http://localhost:3000/?milolibs=local (local code, stage content)

https://main--project--owner.aem.page/?milolibs=local (prod code, stage content)

https://main--project--owner.aem.live/?milolibs=local (prod code, prod content)

https://feat-branch--project--owner.aem.page/?milolibs=local (feature code, stage content)

Testing

Unit Testing

npm run test

or:

npm run test:watch

Coverage

npm run test:watch can give misleading coverage reports. Use npm run test for accurate coverage reporting.

Nala E2E UI Testing

---

1. Running Nala Tests

Nala tests are run using the npm run nala <env> [options] command:

npm run nala <env> [options]

# env: [local | libs | branch | stage | etc ] default: local

# options:
  - browser=<chrome|firefox|webkit>    # Browser to use (default: chrome)
  - device=<desktop|mobile>            # Device (default: desktop)
  - test=<.test.js>                    # Specific test file to run (runs all tests in the file)
  - -g, --g=<@tag>                     # Tag to filter tests by annotations ex: @test1 @accordion @marquee
  - mode=<headless|ui|debug|headed>    # Mode (default: headless)
  - config=<config-file>               # Configuration file (default: Playwright default)
  - project=<project-name>             # Project configuration (default: milo-live-chromium)
  - milolibs=<local|prod|feature|any|> # Milolibs?=<env> 

2. Nala Help Command:

To view examples of how to use Nala commands with various options, you can run

npm run nala help

⚠️ Important Note

• Debug and UI Mode Caution: When using debug or ui mode, it is recommended to run only a single test using annotations (e.g., @test1). Running multiple tests in these modes (e.g., npm run nala local mode=debug or mode=ui) will launch a separate browser or debugger window for each test, which can quickly become resource-intensive and challenging to manage.

• Tip: To effectively watch or debug, focus on one test at a time to avoid opening excessive browser instances or debugger windows.
