Abacus: Automattic's Experimentation Platform UI

CircleCI

Getting started

Run npm install to install dependencies, then run one of the following commands:

  • npm run dev: Starts the development server.
  • npm run build: Builds the app for production.
  • npm start: Runs the built app in production mode.

Update System Host File

In order for our OAuth authorization to work, it needs to be given a redirect URI that has been declared as acceptable. In order to aid with using the site locally, add the following DNS mapping to your system's host file.

127.0.0.1 a8c-abacus-local

Scripts

All the scripts for this project are initiated via npm scripts. Please see the "scripts" section in package.json.

Docker

You can use the following commands to run the server in a Docker container:

  • npm run docker-build: Build a docker image that runs a production Abacus server at port 3000.
  • npm run docker-start: Run the above docker image, mapping port 3000 from the image to port 8888 on your local machine.

Bundle Analysis

The Next.js build creates two bundles of files. One for the client and one for the server.

Running the following will build, analyze, and open two browser windows with a report on the client and server bundles.

npm run analyze

Component Building

See the Storybook section below.

Linting

lint

Runs all the linters.

npm run lint

lint:css

Runs a linter on all the styling code.

npm run lint:css

lint:css:fix

Runs a linter on all the styling code and fixes issues that are fixable.

npm run lint:css:fix

lint:js

Runs a linter on all the JavaScript and TypeScript code including those with JSX.

npm run lint:js

lint:js:fix

Runs a linter on all the JavaScript and TypeScript code and fixes any found issues that are fixable.

npm run lint:js:fix

Pre-Commit Hooks

Pre-commit hooks have been put in place via husky which will run the precommit NPM script. This script runs lint-staged but could be used to run different or more commands. The lint-staged command will run commands on only the staged files of the commit according to the configuration. The lint-staged configuration is in package.json.

Storybook

Storybook allows you to render components in isolation.

This is useful when building components. It allows you to create "stories" for the various states that the component can be in.

Storybook can be used for other purposes too. You could run e2e tests on it to ensure components are functioning as expected. It could be used to render a style guide too.

To run Storybook:

npm run storybook

This will open a browser window of the Storybook webapp.

Testing

test:unit

Runs the unit tests with Jest.

The unit tests are found throughout the project excluding tests in the __tests__ directory which is being reserved for integration tests.

npm run test:unit
npm run test:unit -- --coverage
npm run test:unit -- --watch

test:e2e

Runs the end-to-end tests with Jest and Puppeteer in a headless Chrome browser.

# Run all the E2E tests
npm run test:e2e
# Run just the E2E smoke tests (intended to be used in development for quick iterations)
npm run test:e2e:smoke

For debugging, you'll likely want to run with a full visual browser. To do that:

  1. Create a .env file at the project's root if it does not already exist. You can copy the .env.example file as an initial template.
  2. Add PUPPETEER_HEADLESS=false

This will cause the E2E tests to run in a browser that can be visually seen.

See https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/debugging for more debugging tips.

Testing Auth Flow

Besides the automated unit tests and E2E tests, there is sometimes a need for manual intervention due to factors not acceptable in during automation, e.g., waiting for an access token to naturally expire to ensure the user is re-prompted to authenticate and authorize.

Once a user is authenticated and they authorize Abacus to have access, we save the authorization info in local storage under the key abacus_auth_info. To simulate using Abacus on a new browser or the access token expiring, you can remove this item from local storage using the Chrome devtools > Application tab.

Verification

Format checks, linting, and testing are all forms of verification. As a convenience, we have the verify NPM script that will run all the checks.

npm run verify
