* Cleanup beforeunload handler after transaction is resolved The notification window was updated to reject transactions upon close in #6340. A handler that rejects the transaction was added to `window.onbeforeunload`, and it was cleared in `actions.js` if it was confirmed or rejected. However, the `onbeforeunload` handler remained uncleared if the transaction was resolved in another window. This results in the transaction being rejected when the notification window closes, even long after the transaction is submitted and confirmed. This has been the cause of many problems with the Firefox e2e tests. Instead the `onbeforeunload` handler is cleared in the `componentWillUnmount` lifecycle function, alongside where it's set in the first place. This ensures that it's correctly unset regardless of how the transaction was resolved, and it better matches user expectations. * Fix indentation and remove redundant export The `run-all.sh` Bash script now uses consistent indentation, and is consistent about only re-exporting the Ganache arguments when they change. * Ensure transactions are completed before checking balance Various intermittent e2e test failures appear to be caused by React re-rendering the transaction list during the test, as the transaction goes from pending to confirmed. To avoid this race condition, the transaction is now explicitly looked for in the confirmed transaction list in each of the tests using this pattern. * Enable all e2e tests on Firefox The remaining tests that were disabled on Firefox now work correctly. Only a few timing adjustments were needed. * Update Firefox used in CI Firefox v70 is now used on CI instead of v68. This necessitated rewriting the function where the extension ID was obtained because the Firefox extensions page was redesigned.

Building locally
- Install Node.js version 10
- If you are using nvm (recommended) running
nvm use
will 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 start
instead.- 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)
