PolyGerrit

Installing Node.js

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

# OS X with Homebrew
brew install node

All other platforms: download from nodejs.org.

Installing Buck

Follow the instructions here to get and install Buck.

Local UI, Production Data

This is a quick and easy way to test your local changes against real data. Unfortunately, you can't sign in, so testing certain features will require you to use the “test data” technique described below.

Installing go

This is required for running the run-server.sh script below.

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install golang

# OS X with Homebrew
brew install go

All other platforms: download from golang.org

Then add go to your path:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Running the server

To test the local UI against gerrit-review.googlesource.com:

./run-server.sh

Then visit http://localhost:8081

Local UI, Test Data

One-time setup:

1. Build Gerrit
2. Set up a local test site. Docs here and here.

When your project is set up and works using the classic UI, run a test server that serves PolyGerrit:

buck build polygerrit && \
java -jar buck-out/gen/polygerrit/polygerrit.war daemon --polygerrit-dev \
-d ../gerrit_testsite --console-log --show-stack-trace

Running Tests

One-time setup:

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install npm

# OS X with Homebrew
brew install npm

# All platforms (including those above)
sudo npm install -g web-component-tester

Run all web tests:

buck test --no-results-cache --include web

The --no-results-cache flag prevents flaky test failures from being cached.

If you need to pass additional arguments to wct:

WCT_ARGS='-p --some-flag="foo bar"' buck test --no-results-cache --include web

For interactively working on a single test file, do the following:

./polygerrit-ui/run-server.sh

Then visit http://localhost:8081/elements/foo/bar_test.html

Running tests (bazel)

Run

WCT_ARGS='--some-flag' sh polygerrit-ui/app/run_test.sh

We follow the Google JavaScript Style Guide with a few exceptions. When in doubt, remain consistent with the code around you.
