What is the best way to test appjs?

[Juzer Ali]

I was wondering what is the best method of testing appjs. Assuming I have nightly build on my PC. I added a new feature to appjs. Now I want to test my freature. So I have also extended hello world example (in a separate directory). How should I tell my extended hello world appjs app to refer to the nightly build for appjs module. I tried symlinking into node_modules folder, it didn't work. Also tried to add appjs in npm cache, but on npm install in other directory it errors out during installation. I wanted to know from those who are buiding it, how have they been doing that?

Hey.

Create a folder structure as such in a place where you store your work.

AppJS-Dev

- node_modules <- its important that this folder is at the root of the folder.

- Project1 <- a project or thing youre working at.

-- Project1/app.sh (or whatever its called at your end)

-- Project1/data

- Project 2

-- Project 2/app.sh

-- Project2/data

You can duplicate the original apjs build you downloaded and use that for the projects. But in general, the node_modules you get with one appjs build should be at the root of that AppJS-Dev folder. Node goes backwards in all folders till the harddrives root and looks for the node_modules folder. So you only need one node_modules folder and can use it everywhere.

But once you want to deploy the app, put the node_modules folder back in place. Like when you have finished a project, you could create a new sub directory at appJS-Dev named "builds". Then you can issue a command such as this:

$ cp .../AppJS-Dev/Project1 .../AppJS-Dev/Builds/Project1; cp .../AppJS-Dev/node_modules .../AppJS-Dev/Builds/Project1/data

Replace the periods with the actual path to the folder - or use ./ if you are inside that folder already. Replace Project1 with the name where you put your new project into, and the name Builds - or the entire path - where you wanna store your results.

Hope it helped!
