Caveats
Please note that this project is very beta right now, and I'm not in a good position to accept large PRs for big new features.
I'm making my code open-source for the sake of transparency and because it's the right thing to do, but I'm hesitant to start nurturing a community because of all that entails.
So I may not be very responsive to PRs or issues. Thanks for understanding.
Development
To run a dev server with hot reloading:
npm run dev
Now it's running at localhost:4002
.
Linting
Pinafore uses JavaScript Standard Style.
Lint:
npm run lint
Automatically fix most linting issues:
npm run lint-fix
Testing
Testing requires running Mastodon itself, meaning the Mastodon development guide is relevant here. In particular, you'll need a recent version of Ruby, Redis, and Postgres running.
Run integration tests, using headless Chrome by default:
npm test
Run tests for a particular browser:
BROWSER=chrome npm run test-browser
BROWSER=chrome:headless npm run test-browser
BROWSER=firefox npm run test-browser
BROWSER=firefox:headless npm run test-browser
BROWSER=safari npm run test-browser
BROWSER=edge npm run test-browser
Testing in development mode
In separate terminals:
1. Run a Mastodon dev server:
npm run run-mastodon
2. Run a Pinafore dev server:
npm run dev
3. Run a debuggable TestCafé instance:
npx testcafe --hostname localhost --skip-js-errors --debug-mode firefox tests/spec
If you want to export the current data in the Mastodon instance as canned data, so that it can be loaded later, run:
npm run backup-mastodon-data
Writing tests
Tests use TestCafé. The tests have a naming convention:
0xx-test-name.js
: tests that don't modify the Mastodon database (post, delete, follow, etc.)1xx-test-name.js
: tests that do modify the Mastodon database
In principle the 0-
tests don't have to worry about
clobbering each other, whereas the 1-
ones do.
Debugging Webpack
The Webpack Bundle Analyzer report.html
and stats.json
are available publicly via e.g.:
This is also available locally after npm run build
at .sapper/client/report.html
.
Updating Mastodon used for testing
- Run
rm -fr mastodon
to clear out all Mastodon data - Comment out
await restoreMastodonData()
inrun-mastodon.js
to avoid actually populating the database with statuses/favorites/etc. - Update the
GIT_TAG
inrun-mastodon.js
to whatever you want - Run
npm run run-mastodon
- Run
npm run backup-mastodon-data
to overwrite the data infixtures/
- Uncomment
await restoreMastodonData()
inrun-mastodon.js
- Commit all changed files
- Run
rm -fr mastodon/
andnpm run run-mastodon
to confirm everything's working
Check mastodon.log
if you have any issues.
Unit tests
There are also some unit tests that run in Node using Mocha. You can find them in tests/unit
and
run them using npm run test-unit
.
