Add browser recommendation to README (#6941) We have recently dropped support for certain older browsers, and we're planning to have a larger conversation soon about which browsers to support going forward. In preparation for this, it might be worth recommending that users use the latest browser version.
2019-08-02 14:59:18 +02:00
MetaMask supports Firefox, Google Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers. We recommend using the latest available browser version.

## Building locally
Update readme to node 14 (#10374) Follows on from the work done to upgrade Node to version 14 https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/9514
2021-02-04 19:32:17 +01:00
- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) version 14
Update local build instructions
2018-11-21 20:22:35 +01:00
- If you are using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation) (recommended) running `nvm use` will automatically choose the right node version for you.
Switch from `npm` to `yarn` (#6843) As a solution to the constant lockfile churn issues we've had with `npm`, the project now uses `yarn` to manage dependencies. The `package-lock.json` file has been replaced with `yarn.lock`, which was created using `yarn import`. It should approximate the contents of `package-lock.json` fairly well, though there may be some changes due to deduplication. The codeowners file has been updated to reference this new lockfile. All documentation and npm scripts have been updated to reference `yarn` rather than `npm`. Note that running scripts using `npm run` still works fine, but it seemed better to switch those to `yarn` as well to avoid confusion. The `npm-audit` Bash script has been replaced with `yarn-audit`. The output of `yarn audit` is a bit different than `npm audit` in that it returns a bitmask to describe which severity issues were found. This made it simpler to check the results directly from the Bash script, so the associated `npm-audit-check.js` script was no longer required. The output should be exactly the same, and the information is still sourced from the same place (the npm registry). The new `yarn-audit` script does have an external dependency: `jq`. However, `jq` is already assumed to be present by another CI script, and is present on all CI images we use. `jq` was not added to `package.json` as a dependency because there is no official package on the npm registry, just wrapper scripts. We don't need it anywhere exept on CI anyway. The section in `CONTRIBUTING` about how to develop inside the `node_modules` folder was removed, as the advice was a bit dated, and wasn't specific to this project anyway.

Rationalize build system arguments (#12047) This rationalizes how arguments are passed to and parsed by the build system. To accomplish this, everything that isn't an environment variable from `.metamaskrc` or our CI environment is now passed as an argument on the command line. Of such arguments, the `entryTask` is still expected as a positional argument in the first position (i.e. `process.argv[2]`), but everything else must be passed as a named argument. We use `minimist` to parse the arguments, and set defaults to preserve existing behavior. Arguments are parsed in a new function, `parseArgv`, in `development/build/index.js`. They are assigned to environment variables where convenient, and otherwise returned from `parseArgv` to be passed to other functions invoked in the same file. This change is motivated by our previous inconsistent handling of arguments to the build system, which will grow increasingly problematic as the build system grows in complexity. (Which it will very shortly, as we introduce Flask builds.) Miscellaneous changes: - Adds a build system readme at `development/build/README.md` - Removes the `beta` package script. Now, we can instead call: `yarn dist --build-type beta` - Fixes the casing of some log messages and reorders some parameters in the build system

Update Redux DevTools README instructions (#13038) The instructions in the README about how to use Redux DevTools with MetaMask have been incorrect since #10687, which removed the dependency `remotedev-server` that this integration requires. The instructions have been updated to explain that this now must be installed globally for Redux DevTools to work, and for the command `yarn start:dev` to work. Fixes #10770

2021-12-10 18:53:37 +01:00
To start the [React DevTools](https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools), run `yarn devtools:react` with a development build installed in a browser. This will open in a separate window; no browser extension is required.
To start the [Redux DevTools Extension](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-devtools/tree/main/extension):
- Install the package `remotedev-server` globally (e.g. `yarn global add remotedev-server`)
- Install the Redux Devtools extension.
- Open the Redux DevTools extension and check the "Use custom (local) server" checkbox in the Remote DevTools Settings, using the default server configuration (host `localhost`, port `8000`, secure connection checkbox unchecked).
Then run the command `yarn devtools:redux` with a development build installed in a browser. This will enable you to use the Redux DevTools extension to inspect MetaMask.
To create a development build and run both of these tools simultaneously, run `yarn start:dev`.

### Running Unit Tests and Linting
Simplify Mocha npm scripts (#12313) The npm scripts used to run Mocha scripts have been greatly simplified. As we transition more tests from Mocha to Jest it was becoming increasingly difficult to update the CLI arguments to keep all of these scripts working correctly. This reorganization should make that process much simpler. The base Mocha options are in `.mocharc.js` - all except for the target tests to run. Those are still given via the CLI. There is a second config file specifically for the `test:unit:lax` tests (i.e. the Mocha tests that have no coverage requirements) because it requires a change to the `ignored` configuration property. We can create an additional configuration file for each test script we add that needs further configuration changes. The `test:unit:path` script used to be used to run Mocha tests at a given path. Now that can be done using `yarn mocha` instead, so this script has been removed. The `yarn watch` command has been broken for some time now, so it has been removed as well. Mocha tests can still be run with a file watcher using `yarn mocha --watch <path>` or `yarn test:unit:mocha --watch`. The README has been updated to remove references about the `watch` command that was removed. I considered explaining the other test scripts there as well, but they were difficult to explain I will attempt to update the README after making further simplifications instead.
2021-10-12 14:40:33 +02:00
Run unit tests and the linter with `yarn test`. To run just unit tests, run `yarn test:unit`.
Improve contributor documentation in README (#10509) The contributor documentation in the README has been improved in various ways: * There is now a dedicated section for development builds under 'Contributing', rather than this being under 'Building locally' * Additional unit test and linting commands have been documented * Instructions for running e2e tests have been added * Instructions on how to handle dependency changes have been added, to accommodate recent changes relating to `allow-scripts` and `LavaMoat`.
2021-02-24 16:52:42 +01:00
You can run the linter by itself with `yarn lint`, and you can automatically fix some lint problems with `yarn lint:fix`. You can also run these two commands just on your local changes to save time with `yarn lint:changed` and `yarn lint:changed:fix` respectively.
### Running E2E Tests
Our e2e test suite can be run on either Firefox or Chrome. In either case, start by creating a test build by running `yarn build:test`.
Firefox e2e tests can be run with `yarn test:e2e:firefox`.
Chrome e2e tests can be run with `yarn test:e2e:chrome`, but they will only work if you have Chrome v79 installed. Update the `chromedriver` package to a version matching your local Chrome installation to run e2e tests on newer Chrome versions.
### Changing dependencies
Whenever you change dependencies (adding, removing, or updating, either in `package.json` or `yarn.lock`), there are various files that must be kept up-to-date.
* `yarn.lock`:
* Run `yarn setup` again after your changes to ensure `yarn.lock` has been properly updated.
Add `yarn-deduplicate` step to README (#13004) The instructions for changing dependencies have been updated to include the `yarn yarn-deduplicate` step. This command removes duplicate dependencies in the lockfile where possible while keeping everything in-range, and it's checked in CI in the `test-yarn-dedupe` job that was added in #12737.
2021-12-07 18:31:55 +01:00
* Run `yarn yarn-deduplicate` to remove duplicate dependencies from the lockfile.
Improve contributor documentation in README (#10509) The contributor documentation in the README has been improved in various ways: * There is now a dedicated section for development builds under 'Contributing', rather than this being under 'Building locally' * Additional unit test and linting commands have been documented * Instructions for running e2e tests have been added * Instructions on how to handle dependency changes have been added, to accommodate recent changes relating to `allow-scripts` and `LavaMoat`.
2021-02-24 16:52:42 +01:00
* The `allow-scripts` configuration in `package.json`
* Run `yarn allow-scripts auto` to update the `allow-scripts` configuration automatically. This config determines whether the package's install/postinstall scripts are allowed to run. Review each new package to determine whether the install script needs to run or not, testing if necessary.
* Unfortunately, `yarn allow-scripts auto` will behave inconsistently on different platforms. macOS and Windows users may see extraneous changes relating to optional dependencies.
Add per-build type LavaMoat policies (#12702) This PR adds one LavaMoat background script policy or each build type. It also renames the build system policy directory from `node` to `build-system` to make its purpose more clear. Each build type has the original `policy-override.json` for `main` builds. The `.prettierignore` file has been updated to match the locations of the new auto-generated policy files. We need to maintain separate policies for each build type because each type will produce different bundles with different internal and external modules.

2021-11-15 23:23:46 +01:00
* The LavaMoat policy files. The _tl;dr_ is to run `yarn lavamoat:auto` to update these files, but there can be devils in the details. Continue reading for more information.
* There are two sets of LavaMoat policy files:
* The production LavaMoat policy files (`lavamoat/browserify/*/policy.json`), which are re-generated using `yarn lavamoat:background:auto`.
* These should be regenerated whenever the production dependencies for the background change.
* The build system LavaMoat policy file (`lavamoat/build-system/policy.json`), which is re-generated using `yarn lavamoat:build:auto`.
* This should be regenerated whenever the dependencies used by the build system itself change.
* Whenever you regenerate a policy file, review the changes to determine whether the access granted to each package seems appropriate.
* Unfortunately, `yarn lavamoat:auto` will behave inconsistently on different platforms.
macOS and Windows users may see extraneous changes relating to optional dependencies.
* Keep in mind that any kind of dynamic import or dynamic use of globals may elude LavaMoat's static analysis.
Refer to the LavaMoat documentation or ask for help if you run into any issues.
