Syncano.com Website

Project requires node 6.2.1 and npm 3.9.3. The best way to manage node versions I found is n.

Installation.

$ sudo npm install -g n
$ n 6.2.1

Type n to prompt selection of an installed node. Use the up / down arrow to navigate, and press enter or the right arrow to select, or ^C to cancel:

$ n

ο 6.2.1
  4.4.3

To run the website use the following command:

$ npm start

If you want to see Twitter slider, you need to provide your Twitter config keys in config/development/index.js. If you modify this file, remember to ignore your changes with a command $ git update-index --assume-unchanged config/development/index.js;

To build the website use the following command:

$ npm run build

It will create a public directory with all static files inside. Also when building, all files from static directory are copied to public folder.

We are using Nightwatch.js for e2e testing. Nightwatch.js requires few binary files which can be installed via proper NPM command:

$ npm run e2e-setup

You'll also need to configure env variables for the tests to work locally:

$ export NIGHTWATCH_EMAIL="xx"
$ export NIGHTWATCH_PASSWORD="xx"

If you are ready just run dev server:

$ npm start

and start testing using two browsers in parallel mode:

$ npm run e2e-local

or one by one:

$ npm run e2e-chrome
$ npm run e2e-firefox

If part of the tests fail for some reason, you can temporarily disable them by --skiptags argument. So if, for instance signup tests fail, you can modify package.json e2e line, so that it looks like this:

"e2e-local": "nightwatch -e chrome,firefox --suiteRetries 1 --skiptags signup",

Tests will continue to run but the classes tests will be skipped. Refer to the test files for the appropriate tag name.
