There have been intermittent test failures at the beginning of various e2e test runs. Most tests start with waiting for the 'Welcome' button to be visible and enabled, which means waiting for the loading screen to go away. It looks like the reason the test intermittently fails is that sometimes the loading screen doesn't appear until a few moments _after_ the page loads (or that it vanishes and comes back). It was rather difficult to track down each possible cause for the loading screens, so in the meantime a pause has been added at the start of each run. This should hopefully suffice to ensure the momentary gap in loading has been passed by the time the first test starts up.

- Install Node.js version 10
- If you are using nvm (recommended) running
nvm usewill automatically choose the right node version for you.
- If you are using nvm (recommended) running
- Install Yarn
- Install dependencies:
yarn - Build the project to the
./dist/folder withyarn dist. - Optionally, to start a development build (e.g. with logging and file watching) run
yarn startinstead.- To start the React DevTools and Redux DevTools Extension
alongside the app, use
yarn start:dev.- React DevTools will open in a separate window; no browser extension is required
- Redux DevTools will need to be installed as a browser extension. Open the Redux Remote Devtools to access Redux state logs. This can be done by either right clicking within the web browser to bring up the context menu, expanding the Redux DevTools panel and clicking Open Remote DevTools OR clicking the Redux DevTools extension icon and clicking Open Remote DevTools.
