Prerequisites

Git, Node.js, and Yarn are required to install and test this project.

• Git: git
• Node.js: nodejs
• Yarn: yarn

Getting Started

Clone the repository using git:

Install Node.js

See installation instructions here: nodejs but be aware that the required version of Node is 14.x

Install yarn

The project uses Yarn 2+. Installation instructions for Yarn 2+ are not easily found, but some information can be found at: yarn 1 and yarn 2+. The basic steps are to install yarn 1 globally, then run yarn install in the project directory. Yarn 1 can be installed globally with npm: npm install -g yarn

Install dependencies

yarn install

Yarn scripts

• yarn build: Build deployable artifacts
• yarn html-lint: Run HTML Linter with rules that should all pass
• yarn html-lint:verbose: Run HTML Linter with rules that don't play well with AngularJS, so some errors are expected, but this can find some errors that need to be fixed
• yarn start: Run a local dev server at: http://localhost:3000/ with automatic reloading
• yarn start:dev: Run a local dev server at: http://localhost:3000/ with automatic reloading, but connecting to the DEV environment for data
• yarn start:prod: Run a local dev server at: http://localhost:3000/ with automatic reloading, but using the production settings for js minification / packaging / etc.
• yarn start:all: Run yarn start, yarn test:auto and yarn test:react:auto all at once, in the same terminal
• yarn profile: Generate a webpack statistics output file
• yarn test: Run the Jest-based unit tests once (tests based on the React components)
• yarn test:auto: Run the Jest-based unit tests continuously (tests based on the React components), re-running the tests on any file change
• lint: Run ESLint against all JavaScript files in the project
• lint:fix: Run ESLint against all JavaScript files in the project and fix any errors that ESLint can fix automatically. Especially useful when run as yarn lint:fix src/app/path/to/file.js[x] to automatically apply fixes against a single file
• yarn e2e: Run the end to end integration tests, as well as e2e linting
• yarn e2e:lint: Run code and syntax rules
• yarn e2e:clean: Clear out old E2E artifacts

Yarn environment parameters

Usable on yarn build and yarn start, these parameters control configuration of some properties

• --env.NODE_ENV=production or --env.NODE_ENV=development to indicate whether to build for development or production environments. Defaults to development if not provided

Linting

On most Yarn commands the CSS Linter, JS Linter and HTML Linters will run. Webpack may fail to compile if any of the linters report issues, depending on the severity of the issue.

E2E (AQA) Testing

E2E tests can be run with the yarn wdio command

Environments

By default, E2E tests will be executed against http://localhost:3000/.

The tests can be also be executed using different environments. The other URLs for other environments need to be configured in e2e/config/urls.js file and URLs must have the correct format. There is a e2e/config/urlsEXAMPLE.js that describes the necessary entries and formatting.

Copy e2e/config/urlsEXAMPLE.js to the file e2e/config/urls.js and set the urls for each environments in the file

To specify the environment to run the tests against, pass ENV variable with 'dev', 'qa' ,'stage' options. For example:

• ENV=dev yarn wdio
• ENV=qa yarn wdio
• ENV=stage yarn wdio

Notes

When debugging, taking screenshots can be useful. The command await browser.saveScreenshot('path/to/file.png') will save a screenshot to a location relative to the project root

Old notes

Some of these items will need to be recreated, but at this time this is all OBE

E2E (AQA) Credentials

Copy e2e/config/credentialsEXAMPLE.js to the file e2e/config/credentials.js and set the passwords for the users in the file to be valid users

E2E (AQA) Running Tests

If a single spec file should be tested, instead of all of them:

• yarn e2e --spec path/to/file.spec.js

To change the loglevel:

• yarn e2e --l info

To run a suite of tests:

• yarn e2e --suite suite-name.

For example, yarn e2e --suite components will execute only the tests on the components. See wdio.conf.js for a list of the suites
