# Building and Testing Angular
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to set up your development environment to build and test Angular.
|
|
It also explains the basic mechanics of using `git`, `node`, and `yarn`.

See the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
|
if you'd like to contribute to Angular.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite Software
|
|
|
|
Before you can build and test Angular, you must install and configure the
|
|
following products on your development machine:
|
|
|
|
* [Git](http://git-scm.com) and/or the **GitHub app** (for [Mac](http://mac.github.com) or
|
|
[Windows](http://windows.github.com)); [GitHub's Guide to Installing
|
|
Git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) is a good source of information.
|
|
|
|
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org), (version specified in the engines field of [`package.json`](../package.json)) which is used to run a development web server,
|
|
run tests, and generate distributable files.
|
|
|
|
* [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) (version specified in the engines field of [`package.json`](../package.json)) which is used to install dependencies.
|
|
|
|
* [Java Development Kit](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/es/java/javase/downloads/index.html) which is used
|
|
to execute the selenium standalone server for e2e testing.
|
|
|
|
## Getting the Sources
|
|
|
|
Fork and clone the Angular repository:
|
|
|
|
1. Login to your GitHub account or create one by following the instructions given
|
|
[here](https://github.com/signup/free).
|
|
2. [Fork](http://help.github.com/forking) the [main Angular
|
|
repository](https://github.com/angular/angular).
|
|
3. Clone your fork of the Angular repository and define an `upstream` remote pointing back to
|
|
the Angular repository that you forked in the first place.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Clone your GitHub repository:
|
|
git clone git@github.com:<github username>/angular.git
|
|
|
|
# Go to the Angular directory:
|
|
cd angular
|
|
|
|
# Add the main Angular repository as an upstream remote to your repository:
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/angular/angular.git
|
|
```
|
|
## Installing NPM Modules
|
|
|
|
Next, install the JavaScript modules needed to build and test Angular:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Install Angular project dependencies (package.json)
|
|
yarn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Windows only
|
|
|
|
In order to create the right symlinks, run **as administrator**:
|
|
```shell
|
|
./scripts/windows/create-symlinks.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Before submitting a PR, do not forget to remove them:
|
|
```shell
|
|
./scripts/windows/remove-symlinks.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To build Angular run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./scripts/build-packages-dist.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Results are put in the `dist/packages-dist` folder.
|
|
|
|
## Running Tests Locally
|
|
|
|
Bazel is used as the primary tool for building and testing Angular. Building and testing is
|
|
incremental with Bazel, and it's possible to only run tests for an individual package instead
|
|
of for all packages.
|
|
|
|
Read more about this in the [BAZEL.md](./BAZEL.md) document. You should execute all test suites
|
|
before submitting a PR to Github.
|
|
|
|
All the tests are executed on our Continuous Integration infrastructure and a PR could only be
|
|
merged if the code is formatted properly and all tests are passing.
|
|
|
|
## <a name="clang-format"></a> Formatting your source code
|
|
|
|
Angular uses [clang-format](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) to format the source code.
|
|
If the source code is not properly formatted, the CI will fail and the PR cannot be merged.
|
|
|
|
You can automatically format your code by running:
|
|
- `yarn gulp format`: re-format only edited source code.
|
|
- `yarn gulp format:all`: format _all_ source code
|
|
|
|
A better way is to set up your IDE to format the changed file on each file save.
|
|
|
|
### VS Code
|
|
1. Install [Clang-Format](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xaver.clang-format) extension for VS Code.
|
|
|
|
It will automatically pick up the settings from Angular's [settings.json](../.vscode/settings.json).
|
|
|
|
## Linting/verifying your source code
|
|
|
|
You can check that your code is properly formatted and adheres to coding style by running:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
$ yarn gulp lint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Publishing snapshot builds
|
|
|
|
When a build of any branch on the upstream fork angular/angular is green on CircleCI,
|
|
it automatically publishes build artifacts
|
|
to repositories in the Angular org, eg. the `@angular/core` package is published to
|
|
http://github.com/angular/core-builds.
|
|
|
|
You may find that your un-merged change needs some validation from external participants.
|
|
Rather than requiring them to pull your Pull Request and build Angular locally, you can
|
|
publish the `*-builds` snapshots just like our CircleCI build does.
|
|
|
|
First time, you need to create the github repositories:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
$ export TOKEN=[get one from https://github.com/settings/tokens]
|
|
$ CREATE_REPOS=1 ./scripts/ci/publish-build-artifacts.sh [github username]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For subsequent snapshots, just run
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
$ ./scripts/ci/publish-build-artifacts.sh [github username]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script will publish the build snapshot to a branch with the same name as your current branch,
|
|
and create it if it doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
## Bazel support
|
|
### VS Code
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Bazel](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DevonDCarew.bazel-code) extension for VS Code.
