Many packages in the monorepo did not specify all of their dependencies; they
were effectively relying on resolution in the monorepo's root
`node_modules`. In a production release of `embark` and `embark[js]-*` packages
this can lead to broken packages.
To fix the problem currently and to help prevent it from happening again, make
use of the `eslint-plugin-import` package's `import/no-extraneous-dependencies`
and `import/no-unresolved` rules. In the root `tslint.json` set
`"no-implicit-dependencies": true`, wich is the tslint equivalent of
`import/no-extraneous-dependencies`; there is no tslint equivalent for
`import/no-unresolved`, but we will eventually replace tslint with an eslint
configuration that checks both `.js` and `.ts` files.
For `import/no-unresolved` to work in our monorepo setup, in most packages add
an `index.js` that has:
```js
module.exports = require('./dist'); // or './dist/lib' in some cases
```
And point `"main"` in `package.json` to `"./index.js"`. Despite what's
indicated in npm's documentation for `package.json`, it's also necessary to add
`"index.js"` to the `"files"` array.
Make sure that all `.js` files that can and should be linted are in fact
linted. For example, files in `packages/embark/src/cmd/` weren't being linted
and many test suites weren't being linted.
Bump all relevant packages to `eslint@6.8.0`.
Fix all linter errors that arose after these changes.
Implement a `check-yarn-lock` script that's run as part of `"ci:full"` and
`"qa:full"`, and can manually be invoked via `yarn cylock` in the root of the
monorepo. The script exits with error if any specifiers are found in
`yarn.lock` for `embark[js][-*]` and/or `@embarklabs/*` (with a few exceptions,
cf. `scripts/check-yarn-lock.js`).
This commit introduces a new feature that enables users to run (migration) scripts.
Similar to deployment hooks, scripts are functions that may perform operations on newly
deployed Smart Contracts.
Therefore a script needs to export a function that has access to some dependencies:
```
// scripts/001-some-script.js
module.exports = async ({contracts, web3, logger}) => {
...
};
```
Where `contracts` is a map of newly deployed Smart Contract instances, `web3` a blockchain connector
instance and `logger` Embark's logger instance. Script functions can but don't have to be `async`.
To execute such a script users use the newly introduced `exec` command:
```
$ embark exec development scripts/001-some-script.js
```
In the example above, `development` defines the environment in which Smart Contracts are being
deployed to as well as where tracking data is stored.
Alternativey, users can also provide a directory in which case Embark will try to execute every
script living inside of it:
```
$ embark exec development scripts
```
Scripts can fail and therefore emit an error accordingly. When this happens, Embark will
abort the script execution (in case multiple are scheduled to run) and informs the user
about the original error:
```
.. 001_foo.js running....
Script '001_foo.js' failed to execute. Original error: Error: Some error
```
It's recommended for scripts to emit proper instances of `Error`.
(Migration) scripts can be tracked as well but there are a couple of rules to be aware of:
- Generally, tracking all scripts that have been executed by default is not a good thing because
some scripts might be one-off operations.
- OTOH, there might be scripts that should always be tracked by default
- Therefore, we introduce a dedicated `migrations` directory in which scripts live that should be
tracked by default
- Any other scripts that does not live in the specified `migrations` directory will not be tracked **unless**
- The new `--track` option was provided

fix typings
WIP: refactor
WIP: just needed an annotation 🎉 thanks @emizzle!
WIP: don't pack a tarball since it's a private package
WIP: no need to list as a devDep
TL;DR
=====
`yarn install` in a fresh clone of the repo.
`yarn reboot` when switching branches.
When pulling in these changes, there may be untracked files at the root in
all/some of:
```
.embark/
.nyc_output/
coverage/
dist/
embark-ui/
test_apps/
```
They can be safely deleted since those paths are no longer in use at the root.
Many of the scripts in the top-level `package.json` support Lerna's [filter
options]. For example:
`yarn build --scope embark` build only `packages/embark`.
`yarn build --ignore embark-ui` build everything except `packages/embark-ui`.
Scoping scripts will be more useful when there are more packages in the
monorepo and, for example, `yarn start` doesn't need to be invoked for all of
them while working on just a few of them simultaneously, e.g `embark` and
`embarkjs`.
It's also possible to `cd` into a particular package and run its scripts
directly:
```
cd packages/embark && yarn watch
```
Hot Topics & Questions
======================
What should be done about the [README][embark-readme] for `packages/embark`?
Should the top-level README be duplicated in that package?
Lerna is setup to use [Fixed/Locked mode][fixed-locked], and accordingly
`packages/embark-ui` is set to `4.0.0-beta.0`. The same will be true when
adding embarkjs, swarm-api, etc. to the monorepo. Is this acceptable or do we
want to use [Independent mode][independent]?
Scripts
=======
If a package doesn't have a matching script, `lerna run` skips it
automatically. For example, `packages/embark-ui` doesn't have a `typecheck`
script.
`yarn build`
------------
Runs babel, webpack, etc. according to a package's `build` script.
`yarn build:no-ui` is a shortcut for `yarn build --ignore embark-ui`.
`yarn ci`
---------
Runs a series of scripts relevant in a CI context according to a package's `ci`
script. For `packages/embark` that's `lint typecheck build test package`.
Also runs the `ci` script of the embedded `test_dapps` monorepo.
`yarn clean`
------------
Runs rimraf, etc. according to a package's `clean` script.
`yarn globalize`
----------------
Makes the development embark available on the global PATH, either via
symlink (Linux, macOS) or a shim script (Windows).
`yarn lint`
-----------
Runs eslint, etc. according to a package's `lint` script.
`yarn package`
--------------
Invokes `npm pack` according to a package's `package` script.
`yarn qa`
---------
Very similar to `ci`, runs a series of scripts according to a package's `qa`
script. The big difference between `ci` and `qa` is that at the top-level `qa`
first kicks off `reboot:full`.
There is a `preqa` script ([invoked automatically][npm-scripts]), which is a
bit of a wart. It makes sure that `embark reset` can be run successfully in
`packages/embark/templates/*` when the `reboot` script invokes the `reset`
script.
The `qa` script is invoked by `yarn release` before the latter proceeds to
invoke `lerna publish`.
`yarn reboot`
-------------
Invokes the `reset` script and then does `yarn install`.
The `reboot:full` variant invokes `reset:full` and then does `yarn install`.
`yarn release`
--------------
Works in concert with [lerna publish], which will prompt to verify the version
before proceeding. Use `n` to cancel instead of `ctrl-c` as `lerna publish` has
been seen to occasionally misbehave when not exited cleanly (e.g. creating a
tag when it shouldn't have).
```
yarn release [bump] [--options]
```
* `[bump]` see [`publish` positionals][pub-pos] and [`version`
positionals][ver-pos]; an exact version can also be specified.
* `--preid` prerelease identifier, e.g. `beta`; when doing a prerelease bump
will default to whatever identifier is currently in use.
* `--dist-tag` registry distribution tag, defaults to `latest`.
* `--message` commit message format, defaults to `chore(release): %v`.
* `--sign` indicates that the git commit and tag should be signed; not signed
by default.
* `--release-branch` default is `master`; must match the current branch.
* `--git-remote` default is `origin`.
* `--registry` default is `https://registry.npmjs.org/` per the top-level
[`lerna.json`][lerna-json].
To release `4.0.0-beta.1` as `embark@next` (assuming version is currently at
`4.0.0-beta.0`) could do:
```
yarn release prerelease --dist-tag next
```
For *test releases* (there is no longer a `--dry-run` option) [verdaccio] and a
filesystem git remote can be used.
Condensend instructions:
```
mkdir -p ~/temp/clones && cd ~/temp/clones
git clone git@github.com:embark-framework/embark.git
cd ~/repos/embark
git remote add FAKEembark ~/temp/clones/embark
```
in another terminal:
```
npm i -g verdaccio && verdaccio
```
in the first terminal:
```
yarn release --git-remote FAKEembark --registry http://localhost:4873/
```
`yarn reset`
------------
Invokes cleaning and resetting steps according to a package's `reset`
script. The big difference between `clean` and `reset` is that `reset` is
intended to delete a package's `node_modules`.
The `reset:full` variant deletes the monorepo's top-level `node_modules` at the
end. That shouldn't be necessary too often, e.g. in day-to-day work when
switching branches, which is why there is `reboot` / `reset` vs. `reboot:full`
/ `reset:full`.
Errors may be seen related to invocation of `embark reset` if embark is not
built, but `reset` will still complete successfully.
`yarn start`
------------
Runs babel, webpack, tsc, etc. (in parallel, in watch mode) according to a
package's `start` script.
`yarn test`
-----------
Run mocha, etc. according to a package's `test` script.
The `test:full` variant runs a series of scripts: `lint typecheck test
test_dapps`.
`yarn test_dapps`
-----------------
Runs the `test` script of the embedded `test_dapps` monorepo.
The `test_dapps:ci` and `test_dapps:qa` variants run the `ci` and `qa` scripts
of the embedded `test_dapps` monorepo, respectively.
`yarn typecheck`
----------------
Runs tsc, etc. according to a package's `typecheck` script.
Notes
=====
`npx` is used in some of the top-level and package scripts to ensure the
scripts can run even if `node_modules` is missing.
[`"nohoist"`][nohoist] specifies a couple of embark packages because
[`restrictPath`][restrictpath] is interfering with access to modules that are
located in a higher-up `node_modules`.
All dependencies in `packages/embark-ui` have been made `devDependencies` since
its production build is self-contained.
`packages/embark`'s existing CHANGELOG's formatting has been slightly adjusted
to match the formatting that Lerna will use going forward (entries in the log
haven't been modified).
Lerna will generate a CHANGELOG at the top-level and in each package. Since
we're transitioning to a monorepo, things may look a little wonky with respect
to old entries in `packages/embark/CHANGELOG.md` and going forward we need to
consider how scoping our commits corresponds to member-packages of the
monorepo.
In `packages/embark`, `test` invokes `scripts/test`, which starts a child
process wherein `process.env.DAPP_PATH` is a temporary path that has all of
`packages/embark/dist/test` copied into it, so that paths to test
helpers/fixtures don't need to be prefixed with `dist/test/` and so that a
`.embark` directory doesn't get written into `packages/embark`.
The `"engines"` specified in top-level and packages' `package.json` reflect a
node and npm pair that match (a source of confusion in the past). The pair was
chosen according to the first post v5 npm that's bundled with node. A
`"runtime"` key/object has been introduced in `packages/embark/package.json`
which is used as the basis for specifying the minimum version of node that can
be used to run embark, and that's what is checked by `bin/embark`.
Some changes have been introduced, e.g. in `lib/core/config` and
`lib/utils/solidity/remapImports` so that it's *not* implicitly assumed that
`process.env.DAPP_PATH` / `fs.dappPath()` are the same as
`process.cwd()`. There are probably several++ places where that assumption is
still in effect, and we should work to identify and correct them.
`embark reset` now deletes `embarkArtifacts/` within a dapp root, and
`embarkArtifacts/` is git-ignored.
`lib/core/env` adds all `node_modules` relative to `process.env.EMBARK_PATH` to
`NODE_PATH` so that embark's modules can be resolved as expected whether
embark's `node_modules` have been deduped or are installed in npm's flat
"global style".
`checkDependencies` has been inlined (see `lib/utils/checkDependencies`) and
slightly modified to support dependencies that have been hoisted into a
higher-up `node_modules`, e.g. as part of a yarn workspace. eslint has been
disabled for that script to avoid more involved changes to it.
`test_apps` is not in `packages/embark`; rather, there is `test_dapps` at the
top-level of the monorepo. `test_dapps` is an embedded monorepo, and its `ci` /
`qa` scripts `npm install` embark from freshly built tarballs of the packages
in the outer monorepo and then use that installation to run `embark test` in
the dapps. This should allow us to rapidly detect breakage related to
auto-bumps in transitive dependencies.

The webpack process took quite a while to run, and there were no updates in the console while running.
This PR adds a spinner (when there is no dashboard) and status updates every 5 seconds. When there is a dashboard, the updates are added to a new line.

Convert LongRunningProcessTimer to TypeScript
PR feedback and consistency changes
Changed the constructor signature to accept an options object instead of individual optional parameters, for readability.
Changed library_manager to use the spinner when not using the dashboard, for consistency’s sake. Additionally increased the update time for the library manager from 750ms to 1s.
Fix lint errors
Added `"variable-name": ["allow-leading-underscore”]` to `tslint.json` due to a lack of the ability to prefix backing variables with underscore. This is an [ongoing discussion](https://github.com/palantir/tslint/issues/1489), and something the community thinks should be implemented, as it the preferred way to use a property with backing variable in TypeScript.
Allow for embark sources to be authored in TypeScript and/or JavaScript, and to
make use of upcoming features of the JS language. Sources in the src/ directory
are transpiled into the dist/ directory, and npm-scripts are provided to
support and automate various aspect of the build process. Source map support is
enabled at runtime, i.e. when invoking the embark cli and running embark's test
suite.
