Tenets

  1. Targeted for web development. Js, html and CSS enjoy special status.
  2. Game UX - Approach code editing like a game that a school kid would play after skipping the tutorial.
  3. Light-weight editor.
  4. Extension support maintaining full compatibility with Brackets extensions (except brackets-node extensions).
  5. Uncompromised local development experience.
  6. Support for pluggable remote back-ends.
  7. Phoenix core will work from a static web server.
  8. Source code in release builds will always be auditable and readable from dev-tools.

AGPL/Libre license guards your right to audit and change code that handles your data. Phoenix usually loads up in under one second and loading it faster at the expense of making it hard to read and develop is a noop. We prioritize simplicity and eaze of development.

Building Phoenix

Source Repository

  • Install gulp globally once.
    • In Mac/Linux: sudo npm install -g gulp-cli
    • In Windows: npm install -g gulp-cli
  • run npm install
  • To build after npm install:
    • npm run build - generate builds close to release builds locally.
    • or npm run build:debug to build debug builds for development with more debug symbols.

Running phoenix

IDE Setup

SonarLint static code analysis checker is not yet available as a Brackets extension. Use sonarLint plugin for webstorm or any of the available IDEs from this link before raising a pull request: https://www.sonarlint.org/

Building Release artifacts

  • run npm install
  • To build the release artifacts, run one of the following commands depending on what build you want:
    • npm run release:dev, npm run release:staging, npm run release:prod
  • The release artifacts to host will be in dist folder.

Running and debugging tests in browser

This is the easiest and preferred way to run Phoenix tests.

  • run npm run build in the terminal.
    • NB: this will setup all the required files for test
  • Use chrome/edge browser to navigate to Phoenixhttp://localhost:8000/src/index.html
  • In Phoenix Menu, select Debug > Phoenix Code Diagnostic Tools > Run Phoenix Code Tests To open the test runner.
  • Run tests as required.
    • NB: To reset test data files, click on reset and reload tests option in the test runner.
  • You can use the browser dev tools to debug.

Running and debugging tests in playwright headless mode or in GitHub Actions

We use Playwright to run the headless version of our tests. Please note that we do not use Playwright as our actual test framework, but as a headless browser(chrome and firefox) to run our tests written in Jasmine/Mocha.

  • run npm run test<*> in the terminal to run the unit tests run in GitHub actions. Eg. npm run testChromium.
  • To debug the tests, npm run test<*>Debug. Eg. npm run testFirefoxDebug. However, we recommend using the above Running tests in browser section to actually fix/debug tests that are failing in the pipeline. It has much better debug UX and fixing it directly in the browser will almost certainly fix it in playwright.
  • To run integration tests use command: npx cross-env TEST_ENV=<integration suite name> npm run test<*>
    • The allowed integration test suite names are: integration, LegacyInteg, mainview, livepreview. You can get these suite names from the test runner.
    • Eg: npx cross-env TEST_ENV=integration npm run testChromium
  • To debug integration tests use command: npx cross-env TEST_ENV=<integration suite name> npm run test<*>Debug
    • Eg: npx cross-env TEST_ENV=mainview npm run testChromiumDebug

Running tests in dev staging and prod stacks in playwright

To run tests against these stacks locally, follow these steps:

  1. Build the release using npm run release:<stage>. Eg: npm run release:dev
  2. Run the unit tests using format: npm run test<*>Dist. Eg. npm run testChromiumDist.
  3. Run the integration tests using the format: npx cross-env TEST_ENV=<integration suite name> npm run test<*>Dist. Eg. npx cross-env TEST_ENV=mainview npm run testChromiumDist.

To run tests against these stacks go to the following url:

Browsing the virtual file system

To view/edit the files in the browser virtual file system in Phoenix: debug menu> Open Virtual File System

Clean and reset builds

  • clean builds only: npm run clean

Previewing changes in dev and staging

One a pull request is merged, it will be automatically deployed to dev.phcode.dev . To view the changes:

  1. goto https://dev.phcode.dev/devEnable.html and click enable dev.phcode.dev . only needs to be done once.
  2. goto https://dev.phcode.dev to preview your changes. If it is a recent change, you might need to wait for up to 15 minutes before the changes are deployed to the dev stage. Reload page a few times to get the latest dev build and reset cached content.

The process is the same for staging.phcode.dev. Builds that are verified in development will be pushed periodically to staging. To view staging:

  1. goto https://staging.phcode.dev/devEnable.html and click enable staging.phcode.dev . only needs to be done once.
  2. goto https://staging.phcode.dev to preview your changes. If it is a recent change, you might need to wait for up to 15 minutes before the changes are deployed to the dev stage. Reload page a few times to get the latest dev build and reset cached content.

Deployment to phcode.dev

  • All changes pushed to the main branch are automatically published to https://dev.phcode.dev
  • To publish the changes to https://staging.phcode.dev , push changes to the staging branch in this repo with a pull request.
  • Once the changes are validated and tested, trigger a prod deployment by pushing to the prod branch.
