You decided to contribute to this project? Great, thanks a lot for pushing it.

This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please file issue to report unacceptable behavior.

Pull Requests

To check that your contributions match the project coding style make sure yarn test passes.

yarn is required because NPM is not reliable.

To build project: yarn && yarn compile

If you get strange compilation errors, try to remove all node_modules in the project (especially under packages/*).

Git Commit Guidelines

We use semantic-release, so we have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted.

Documentation

To avoid google indexing, documentation files located in the branch docs. To clone:

git clone --single-branch -b docs git@github.com:electron-userland/electron-builder.git docs

Documentation files located in the /docs.

/docs is deployed to Netlify when next release is marked as latest and available for all users.

pip3 install mkdocs-material mkdocs markdown-include pymdown-extensions pygments --upgrade

You'll want to copy the mkdocs.yml file from the master branch and then: mkdocs build

Debug Tests

Only IntelliJ Platform IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm) support debug.

If you use IntelliJ IDEA or WebStorm — ij-rc-producer is used and you can run tests from an editor (just click on Run green gutter icon).

Or you can create Node.js run configuration manually:

  • Ensure that Before launch contains Compile TypeScript.
  • Set Node interpreter to NodeJS 8. NodeJS 8 is required to debug.
  • Set Application Parameters to -t "test name" relative-test-file-name if you want to debug particular test. E.g. 
    -t "extraResources - one-package" globTest.js
  • Set Environment Variables:
    • Optionally, TEST_APP_TMP_DIR to some directory (e.g. /tmp/electron-builder-test) to inspect output if test uses temporary directory (only if --match is used). Specified directory will be used instead of random temporary directory and cleared on each run.

Run Test using CLI

TEST_APP_TMP_DIR=/tmp/electron-builder-test ./node_modules/.bin/jest --env jest-environment-node-debug -t 'assisted' '/oneClickInstallerTest\.\w+$'

where TEST_APP_TMP_DIR is specified to easily inspect and use test build, assisted is the test name and /oneClickInstallerTest\.\w+$ is the path to test file.

Do not forget to execute yarn compile before run.
