Each release header now includes a link to the range of commits included with that release. These links are at the end of the document, in accordance with the "keep a changelog" [1] format. For the purpose of this changelog, the "previous release" is the most recent release mentioned in the changelogs. The diffs ignore any releases that were omitted from the changelog. This is mainly an issue with older releases, so it seemed acceptable. All releases have been documented for a couple of years now, and will be going forward as well. The name of the "Current Develop Branch" section was changed to "Unreleased" to confirm with "keep a changelog". The `auto-changelog.js` script has been updated to update/add these links whenever adding a new release header as well. [1]: https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/ |

Development builds
To start a development build (e.g. with logging and file watching) run yarn start.
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.
- You will also need to check the "Use custom (local) server" checkbox in the Remote DevTools Settings, using the default server configuration (host
localhost, port8000, secure connection checkbox unchecked)
- You will also need to check the "Use custom (local) server" checkbox in the Remote DevTools Settings, using the default server configuration (host
Running Unit Tests and Linting
Run unit tests and the linter with yarn test.
To run just unit tests, run yarn test:unit. To run unit tests continuously with a file watcher, run yarn watch.
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 setupagain after your changes to ensureyarn.lockhas been properly updated.
- Run
- The
allow-scriptsconfiguration inpackage.json- Run
yarn allow-scripts autoto update theallow-scriptsconfiguration 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 autowill behave inconsistently on different platforms. macOS and Windows users may see extraneous changes relating to optional dependencies.
- Run
- The LavaMoat auto-generated policy in
lavamoat/node/policy.json- Run
yarn lavamoat:autoto re-generate this policy file. Review the changes to determine whether the access granted to each package seems appropriate. - Unfortunately,
yarn lavamoat:autowill behave inconsistently on different platforms. macOS and Windows users may see extraneous changes relating to optional dependencies.
