The build script has been updated to embed the correct Infura project ID and Segment write key for beta and Flask builds. These are set via environment variable or config file. They have already been added in CI as environment variables. The Segment production write key has also been moved into the set of environment variables that can be set in the configuration file. This was to make the way we reference it more consistent. The new project IDs and keys are only used in the "production" environment, which right now is the merge step into the `master` branch. This is appropriate for Flask, but it doesn't match our plan for how the beta release would get created. In a future PR, when the beta release automation work is completed, the conditions for when the beta secrets are used should be updated to ensure they're used only for the beta builds. Closes #11896 |

The MetaMask Build System
tl;dr
yarn dist
for prod,yarn start
for local development
This directory contains the MetaMask build system, which is used to build the MetaMask Extension such that it can be used in a supported browser.
From the repository root, the build system entry file is located at ./development/build/index.js
.
Several package scripts invoke the build system.
For example, yarn start
creates a watched development build, and yarn dist
creates a production build.
Some of these scripts applies lavamoat
to the build system, and some do not.
For local development, building without lavamoat
is faster and therefore preferable.
The build system is not a full-featured CLI, but rather a script that expects some command line arguments and environment variables. For instructions regarding environment variables, see the main repository readme.
Generally speaking, the build system consists of gulp
tasks that either manipulate static assets or bundle source files using Browserify.
Production-ready zip files are written to the ./builds
directory, while "unpacked" extension builds
are written to the ./dist
directory.
Our JavaScript source files are transformed using Babel, specifically using
the babelify
Browserify transform.
Source file bundling tasks are implemented in the ./development/build/scripts.js
.
Locally implemented Browserify transforms, some of which affect how we write JavaScript, are listed and documented here.
Usage
Usage: yarn build <entry-task> [options]
Commands:
yarn build prod Create an optimized build for production environments.
yarn build dev Create an unoptimized, live-reloaded build for local
development.
yarn build test Create an optimized build for running e2e tests.
yarn build testDev Create an unoptimized, live-reloaded build for running
e2e tests.
Options:
--build-type The "type" of build to create. One of: "beta", "main"
[string] [default: "main"]
--lint-fence-files Whether files with code fences should be linted after
fences have been removed by the code fencing transform.
The build will fail if linting fails.
Defaults to `false` if the entry task is `dev` or
`testDev`, and `true` otherwise.
[boolean] [default: <varies>]
--omit-lockdown Whether to omit SES lockdown files from the extension
bundle. Useful when linking dependencies that are
incompatible with lockdown.
[boolean] [default: false]
--skip-stats Whether to refrain from logging build progress. Mostly
used internally.
[boolean] [default: false]
