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 a few binary files which can be installed but they will be installed when tests start.

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 our test runner:

$ npm test

it will setup and start tests. You can specify test mode:

$ npm test {chrome|firefox|parallel}

where chrome will be default one if no argument was passed.

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-parallel": "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.
