This document aims to help you get started with developing MQTT.js.
In order to create a new release you have two options:
- Locally run
npm run release
and follow the interactive CLI - Manually trigger the GitHub Action
release
workflow specifyin the type of release you want to create
To run the tests, you can use the following command:
npm test
This will run both browser
and node
tests.
For example, you can run node -r esbuild-register --test test/keepaliveManager.ts
Browser tests use wtr
as the test runner. To build browser bundle using esbuild and run browser tests, you can use the following command:
npm run test:browser
The configuration file is web-test-runner.config.msj. It starts a local broker using aedes-cli with ws
and wss
support and then runs the tests in 3 different browsers: chrome
, firefox
and safari
.
The tests are located in the test/browser
directory and there are also tests for service workers in the test/browser/worker.js
directory.
When developing/debugging tests it's useful to run the tests in a single browser, for example:
npx wtr --manual --open
This will open the browser on localhost:8001
and lets you choose the test to run by clicking on the link with the test name. By opening the DevTools you will be able to see the tests output and put debugger in both worker and main tests files.
Be aware that tests will use the bundled version of the library, so you need to run npm run build
before running the tests. If you need to debug issues in the code it could be useful to enable source maps when building, in order to do this just set sourcemap: true
in esbuild.js file and run npm run build
.
For NodeJS tests we use the NodeJS Test Runner. To run the tests, you can use the following command:
npm run test:node
The tests are located in the test
directory. The entrypoint of tests is runTests.ts
file. It is used to filter the tests to run, set concurrency and create a nice looking tests summary (see reason here)
When developing/debugging tests it's useful to run the tests for a single file/test, for example:
node -r esbuild-register --test --inspect test/client.ts
If you want to run tests using a filter, you can use the --test-name-pattern
flag:
node -r esbuild-register --test --test-name-pattern="should resend in-flight QoS" --inspect test/client.ts
You can also run tests in watch mode using the --watch
flag.
You can run and automatically fix linting issues with
npm run lint-fix
