TypeScript

All the JS code in this plugin is compiled from TypeScript sources. Please do not submit pull requests with direct changes to the JS files in bin directory. Instead, modify the sources in the www folder and compile a new version of the plugin. Read on for more details.

Building the plugin

Environment setup

node.js and npm are needed for building this project. npm comes bundled with the node.js installer. You can download the node.js installer here: https://nodejs.org/download/.

Once you have installed node.js and npm, install the dev dependencies for the project.

npm install

Compile

Follow these steps to build a new version of the plugin:

  • clone this repository

  • install the dependencies

    Navigate to the root folder from your command line console and run:

     npm install

  • compile

    From the same root folder location, run:

     gulp

    This will compile the sources and place them in the bin folder. Any compilation errors will be displayed in the console.

Test

Environment setup

First, make sure you can build the plugin by following the steps above.

Then, make sure you have installed gulp.

npm install -g gulp

To run Android tests, make sure you have sdk\tools and sdk\platform-tools in your PATH.

Supported platforms

The plugin has end to end tests for Android and iOS. Depending on your development machine OS, you can run some or all the tests.

OS Supported tests
OS X Android, iOS
Windows Android

Test descriptions

The tests first build the app.

They then check if the required emulators are currently running.

If an Android emulator is not running, it attempts to boot an Android emulator named emulator. You can specify an emulator by adding --androidemu yourEmulatorNameHere as a command line option to the gulp task.

If an iOS simulator is not running, it attempts to boot the latest iOS iPhone simulator. You can specify a simulator by adding --iosemu yourSimulatorNameHere as a command line option to the gulp task.

If all the required emulators are not running and the tests fail to boot them, the tests will fail.

If you would like the tests to always restart the necessary emulators (killing them if they are currently running), add a --clean flag to the command.

The desired unit tests are then run.

If you would like to skip building, add a -fast to the end of the command you'd like to run. For example, gulp test-ios becomes gulp test-ios-fast.

There is a both a full unit test suite and a "core" set of unit tests that you may run. If you would like to run only the core tests, add a --core flag to the command.

If you would like to pull the plugin from NPM rather than running the tests on the local version, add a --npm flag to the command.

The mocha reporter outputs individual results files for each platform. These are ./test_android.xml, ./test-ios-ui.xml, and ./test-ios-wk.xml.

Default

To run all of the unit tests on Android and iOS with both UIWebView and WkWebView:

gulp test

iOS

To run all of the unit tests on iOS with both the UIWebView and WkWebView:

gulp test-ios

To run all of the unit tests on iOS with the UIWebView:

gulp test-ios-ui

To run all of the unit tests on iOS with the WkWebView:

gulp test-ios-wk

Android

To run all of the unit tests on Android:

gulp test-android

More examples

All possible testing configurations have tasks!

The platforms are ordered as follows, and ran in that order: android, ios-ui, ios-wk

To run the core unit tests on Android:

gulp test-android --core

To run all of the unit tests on iOS with the UIWebView and pull the plugin from NPM:

gulp test-ios-ui --npm

To run all of the unit tests on Android and iOS with the UIWebView without building first:

gulp test-android-ios-ui-fast

To run all of the unit tests on iOS with the WkWebView and restart the emulators:

gulp test-ios-wk --clean

To run the core unit tests on Android and pull the plugin from NPM:

gulp test-android --core --npm

...and so on!
