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

For [general questions](https://community.metamask.io/c/learn/26), [feature requests](https://community.metamask.io/c/feature-requests-ideas/13), or [developer questions](https://community.metamask.io/c/developer-questions/11), visit our [Community Forum](https://community.metamask.io/).
|
|
|
|
MetaMask supports Firefox, Google Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers. We recommend using the latest available browser version.

## Building locally
|
|
|
|
- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) version 14
|
|
- If you are using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation) (recommended) running `nvm use` will automatically choose the right node version for you.
|
|
- Install [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
|
|
- Install dependencies: `yarn setup` (not the usual install command)
|
|
- Copy the `.metamaskrc.dist` file to `.metamaskrc`
|
|
- Replace the `INFURA_PROJECT_ID` value with your own personal [Infura Project ID](https://infura.io/docs).
|
|
- If debugging MetaMetrics, you'll need to add a value for `SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY` [Segment write key](https://segment.com/docs/connections/find-writekey/).
|
|
- Build the project to the `./dist/` folder with `yarn dist`.
|
|
|
|
Uncompressed builds can be found in `/dist`, compressed builds can be found in `/builds` once they're built.
|
|
|
|
See the [build system readme](./development/build/README.md) for build system usage information.

### Development builds
|
|
|
|
To start a development build (e.g. with logging and file watching) run `yarn start`.
|
|
|
|
#### React and Redux DevTools
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
#### Test Dapp
|
|
|
|
[This test site](https://metamask.github.io/test-dapp/) can be used to execute different user flows.
|
|
|
|
### Running Unit Tests and Linting
|
|
|
|
Run unit tests and the linter with `yarn test`. To run just unit tests, run `yarn test:unit`.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
* Run `yarn yarn-deduplicate` to remove duplicate dependencies from the lockfile.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* 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.
