Making UI tweaks or changes

This website is built using Ember.js for the frontend, which enables tweaking the UI of the site without actually having the server running locally. To get up and running with just the UI, run:

npm run start:staging

This will give you a local server to browse while using the staging backend (hosted on heroku at https://staging-crates-io.herokuapp.com).

If you'd like to run the server with a specific different backend, you can specify specific arguments to npm start. For example you can set the proxy to https://crates.io/ to use the live instance, but do be aware that any modifications made here will be permanent! To do this, run:

npm start -- --proxy https://crates.io

The same is also available as:

npm run start:live

This requires NPM 2.0.

Working on the backend

If you'd like to change the API server (the Rust backend), then the setup is a little more complicated.

1. Copy the .env.sample file to .env and change any applicable values as directed by the comments in the file. Make sure the values in your new .env are exported in the shell you use for the following commands.

2. Set up the git index

   ./script/init-local-index.sh
   

   But do not modify your ~/.cargo/config yet. Do that after step 3.

3. Build the server.

   cargo build
   

   On OS X 10.11, you will need to install the openssl headers first, and tell cargo where to find them. See https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl#osx.

4. Run the migrations

   ./target/debug/migrate
   

5. Run the servers

   # In one window, run the api server
   ./target/debug/server
   
   # In another window run the ember-cli server
   npm run start:local
   

Running Tests

1. Configure the location of the test database. Note that this should just be a blank database, the test harness will ensure that migrations are run.

   export TEST_DATABASE_URL=...
   

2. Set the s3 bucket to alexcrichton-test. No actual requests to s3 will be made; the requests and responses are recorded in files in tests/http-data and the s3 bucket name needs to match the requests in the files.

   export S3_BUCKET=alexcrichton-test
   

3. Run the API server tests

   cargo test
   

4. Install phantomjs

5. Run frontend tests

   ember test
   ember test --server
