Embark API server's development proxy from port 55555 to 3000 was attempting to
inappropriately forward an `/embark-api/` endpoint for the blockchain process
logs to Create React App's development server. Why it was only happening for
the one endpoint is not known but probably has to do with timing around
registration of the API server's express routes.
The problem can be fixed with a one-line `filter:` function in the options for
`express-http-proxy`. However, it was realized that to fix an unrelated
problem, whereby the proxy doesn't forward websockets to CRA such that hot
reload doesn't work when accessing `embark-ui` in development on port 55555, a
switch to `http-proxy-middleware` would be required. That was quickly
attempted (easy switch) but there are outstanding [difficulties][bug] with
`webpack-dev-server` and `node-http-proxy` that cause CRA to crash.
Switch strategies and refactor the API module to serve a page on port 55555 (in
development only) that alerts the developer `embark-ui` should be accessed on
port 3000. The page redirects (client-side) after 10 seconds, with URL query
params and/or hash preserved. A future version could instead do client-side
polling of port 3000 with `fetch` and then redirect only once it's
available. The reason for not redirecting immediately is that the intermediate
page makes it more obvious what needs to be done, e.g. CRA dev server may need
to be started with `yarn start`.

Implement a `/*` server-side catch-all route for Cockpit that loads Cockpit's
`index.html`.
This change is necessary with intent to disable offline-first behavior in
production builds of Cockpit. Cockpit's service worker effectively translates
server-side route unavailability into client-side behaviors of
connected-react-router. When the service worker is unregistered the same will
be accomplished via the server-side catch-all route.
Implement fallback pages for when embark is in the monorepo but Cockpit's
Create React App development server isn't yet started or isn't yet responsive.
Implement a fallback page for when the static build of Cockpit is missing. When
embark is in the monorepo, give instructions for building Cockpit. Otherwise,
report that the distribution is broken.
Deprecate the environment variable `EMBARK_DEVELOPMENT` in favor of
`EMBARK_UI_STATIC`. Unless the latter is truthy at runtime, when embark is in
the monorepo the CRA dev server of Cockpit will be accessible at
`localhost:55555` via proxied requests to `localhost:3000`. The deprecation is
not a breaking change as `EMBARK_DEVELOPMENT` / `EMBARK_UI_STATIC` are not
relevant to normal users, but only to developers working on embark itself.
Bump `express-http-proxy` to the latest version.
`"rxjs"` is [preferable][rxjs-pkg-name] in a CommonJS context,
e.g. node. Existing embark code is `require`-ing from the unscoped package
name, which worked in the monorepo because some other dependency specifies
`"rxjs"` and yarn hoists it to the root of the workspace. In a production
install of embark, though, `require('rxjs')` was failing.
[rxjs-pkg-name]: https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/issues/2577
Previously, templates were in a subdirectory of `packages/embark`. Reorganize
them so that they are member packages of the monorepo. This allows them to
cleanly depend on other members of the monorepo,
e.g. `embarkjs-connector-web3`.
It is desirable for the templates, in the context of the monorepo, to specify
embark as a dependency, to take advantage of `npx embark test` (and it's a
"forward looking" setup re: how we plan to evolve embark). However, if embark
were to specify the template packages as dependencies a circular relationship
would be introduced, which is [unsupported by Lerna][circular]. Therefore,
revise the template generator so that all templates are resolved / fetched at
runtime, i.e. `boilerplate`, `demo`, and `simple` are no longer
"built-ins" *per se*. This change won't be apparent to embark's users, but it
does mean that the template generator won't work (in a production install of
embark) if it can't connect to the npm registry, i.e. when the user runs
`embark demo` or `embark new [--simple]`. When embark is inside the monorepo,
templates are resolved and copied from the yarn workspace rather than being
fetched from the registry, which is convenient for development. Also, any
template dependencies that are members of the monorepo are linked into the
copied template's `node_modules` rather than being installed from the registry,
again for convenience. During template generation, remove scripts and
dependencies that pertain only to membership in the monorepo; for now, that
involves removing embark as a dependency since we're not quite ready for that
arrangement to be the default, i.e. outside of the monorepo.
Refactor the root scripts so that more of them can consistently be used with
Lerna's filter options, e.g. `--scope` and `--ignore`. "Combo" scripts that
don't support filtering generally have a `:full` postfix.
Flip `clean` and `reset` scripts at the root and in the member packages for
consistency re: Lerna's notion of `clean` and embark's notion of `reset`. Have
each package run its `reset` script when its `clean` script is invoked (and
that's all for now), relying on `lerna clean` to delete packages'
`node_modules` in view of how Lerna's topological sorting works.
Lift the implementation of `embark reset` into a private package in
`packages/embark-reset` and make it a bundled dependency of embark. Packages in
`dapps/*` depend on `embark-reset` directly and make use of it with `npx
embark-reset` (but only in monorepo context). This removes a "wart" where
reboots could show errors when embark's sources aren't already built in
`packages/embark/dist`. Users will not notice any difference since `embark
reset` works as before, transparently making use of the `embark-reset`
package. The only downside to having it be a bundled dependency of embark is
that bundled deps have all of their `node_modules` included in the tarball
built with `npm pack` (that's why having the templates as bundled dependencies
of embark isn't a viable approach). However, `embark-reset` only has one
dependency, `rimraf`, which is a tiny module, so the cost seems acceptable.
As part of the reorganization, move `test_dapps` into `dapps/tests` and
`packages/embark/templates` into `dapps/templates`. Keep the directory names
short but revise the package names to facilitate simple filtering with
`embark-dapp-*`. Consolidate `.yarnrc` and `.gitignore` and clean up some
redundant ignore listings.
Scripts run with `--scope embark-dapp-*` use `--concurrency=1` to avoid
conflicts that could arise over network ports. The `ci:full` and `qa:full`
scripts use `--concurrency=1` in all scopes, for two reasons: resource
limitations on Travis and AppVeyor result in slower runs with concurrency >1,
and if something fails in those contexts it's easier to see what went wrong
when Lerna's output isn't interleaved from a bunch of scripts in `packages/*`.
Bump the Lerna version.
[circular]: https://github.com/lerna/lerna/issues/1198#issuecomment-442278902
Packages' `"clean"` scripts should run regardless of whether `node_modules` is
in place at the root and/or package levels, but the `embarkjs` package was
missing a needed `npx` in front of `rimraf` in its script.
Also, bump its devDeps version of rimraf to be in line with the rest of
`packages/*` and `test_dapps/*`.
If a function receives a callback argument then it should not return a promise
if the caller's callback will be invoked. Both invoking a callback and
returning a promise can lead to at best confusion (in code review and at
runtime) and at worst non-deterministic behavior, such as race
conditions. Also, a caller supplying a callback may not handle a returned
promise, leading to unhandled rejection errors.
Refactor all readily identified functions where a callback argument can be
supplied but the function returns a promise regardless. Make use of
`callbackify` and `promisify` where it made sense to do so during the
refactoring. Some callsites of the revised functions may have been accidentally
overlooked and still need to be updated. Some functions that take callback
arguments may execute them synchronously, at odds with control flow of a
returned promise (if a callback wasn't supplied). Such cases should be
identified and fixed so that asynchronous behavior is fully consistent whether
the caller supplies a callback or receives a promise.
Make sure promises that pass control flow to a callback ignore rejections,
since those should be handled by the callback.
Don't return promise instances unnecessarily from async functions (since they
always return promises) and change some functions that return promises to async
functions (where it's simple to do so).
Whisper was using an ad hoc promise-like `messageEvents` object. However, that
object behaved more like an observable, since promises either resolve or
reject, and only do so one time. `messageEvents` was also intertwined with
callbacks. Replace `messageEvents` with RxJS Observable. `listenTo` now returns
Observable instances and callers can subscribe to them.
`Blockchain.connect` of embarkjs could suffer from a race condition where tasks
associated with `execWhenReady` might be ongoing when `connect`'s returned
promise resolves/rejects (or a caller supplied callback fires). Attempt to
ensure that returned-promise / supplied-callback control flow proceeds only
after `execWhenReady` tasks have finished. The control flow involved
is... rather involved, and it could use some further review and refactoring.
Bump webpack and the hard-source-plugin for webpack.

[PR 1318][PR1318] introduces a monorepo member that's used as a DApp
dependency, but the present arrangement whereby `test_dapps/` is an embedded
monorepo makes it difficult to develop and test such packages in tandem with
changes to `test_dapps/packages/*`.
Reorganize `test_dapps/*` as members of the root monorepo and make various
adjustments accordingly. This makes it easy to develop test dapps and any
packages they depend on simultaneously, but we lose the CI/QA arrangement where
test dapps are run with an embark installed from fresh tarballs. That
arrangement, which is quite worthwhile as a means to detect problems arising
from transitive dependencies as soon as possible, will be re-introduced in
another PR, possibly involving an auxiliary repository such as
embark-framework/dapp-bin.
Since the `package.json` `"test"` scripts of `test_dapps/*` are now kicked off
as part of `yarn test` in the root, and since port allocation isn't fully
dynamic, it's important to run `yarn test` with `lerna run`'s `--concurrency=1`
option. For the same reasons, the root `ci` and `qa` scripts are similarly
restricted. In the future, this setup can be refactored and improved, along
with use of `lerna run`'s `--since` option to increase testing efficiency in
CI.

PR 1304 introduced a regenerated `yarn.lock` at the root. Somehow, that's
responsible for the error described in [a comment on PR 1307][error].

catch it up with `yarn reboot:full` in the root. `yarn typecheck` then runs
without error in `packages/embark`.

Setup a `babel.config.js` in the root of the monorepo to be used by
`packages/*`. It won't be used by some packages, e.g. `packages/embark-ui`, but
most of them should use it instead of rolling their own.
Allow for package-level modifications by specifying `babelrcRoots` in the root
`babel.config.js`
Use the babel `--root-mode upward` option in `packages/embark`'s `build`
script. Other packages intending to use the common config should do likewise.
Use a `.babelrc.js` in `packages/embark` to supply the package-specific
`ignore` settings.
Make packages used by the common config devDeps of the root.
Extract babel-related devDeps from `packages/embark`, but don't extract the
non-dev deps since those are used by embark's pipeline in a production
install. Normally, it should only be necessary to have `@babel/cli` and
`@babel/core` in devDeps, and possibly `@babel/runtime-corejs2` in deps, plus
any package-specific babel-related dev/deps. Once we deprecate the pipeline, we
can finish the extraction.
Use `ncu -f '/babel/' -u` to bump the versions of all babel-related deps in the
root and in `packages/embark`. We get better space/time savings from the yarn
workspace when versions match.

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.

Add support to recursively import contracts. If we have three contracts
1. A imports B
2. B imports C
Then prior to this PR, contract A would import contract B, and a remapping would be added to the contract so the compiler would know how to find contract B. However, contract B imports contracts C, and because the `parseFileForImport` method was not recursive, the remappings were not able to go one level deeper to remap the path to contract C, and thus the compiler would not know how to locate contract C, and would complain with the error `File outside of allowed directories.`
With the introduction of this PR, the `parseFileForImport` method is now recursive, and so any contract imported is also checked for it's own imports that can be remapped. Specifically, this use case is applicable when there is a dependency containing contracts that imports one of it's own dependency's contracts, ie:
```
pragma solididty ^0.5.0;
import "dependency-1/contract-1.sol";
```
where the dependencies look like:
```
|- node_modules
|--- dependency-1
|----- contract-1.sol <--- contains import "dependency-2/contract-2.sol"
|--- dependency-2
|----- contract-2.sol
```
Add unit tests that verify recursive imports work.
Add embark depdendency that installs a contract used in the recursive unit tests.
All code to be run in the console is run through a completely sandboxed VM2 instance, instead of the default Node VM.
VM2 will only allow whitelisted packages in a `require` statement. The whitelisted packages needed to run EmbarkJS scripts are:
```
[
"@babel/runtime-corejs2/helpers/interopRequireDefault",
"@babel/runtime-corejs2/core-js/json/stringify",
"@babel/runtime-corejs2/core-js/promise",
"@babel/runtime-corejs2/core-js/object/assign",
"eth-ens-namehash"
]
```
This can be circumvented in an Embark context (ie Plugin) if needed, for example in a Plugin constructor:
```
Embark.events.emit('runcode:register', 'require', require('lodash'), false);
Embark.events.request("runcode:eval", "_.head(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']);", (err, result) => {
if(err) return console.log('========> error: ' + err);
console.log('========> ' + result);
});
```
Will emit `========> a`.
NOTE: Attempts to use this method to override `require` and `eval` should be handled by Embark and not allowed.
NOTE: VM2 seems to allow `eval`, however it is in a completely sandboxed environment, so I'm unsure that we need to be too concerned with this. Thoughts?
Refactor tests to use standalone instance of the newly created VM class, so that code is not evaluated through the console. This was done based on the new unit test case where accounts are redefined in a subsequent unit test, which was not originally working with the initial VM2 PR.
Refactor `codeRunner`, put all code-affecting logic in the `VM` class.
Changed `runCode` to `VM` and converted to TypeScript
Add unit tests for `VM`.
The problems described in embark PR #1166 can be resolved by implementing the
blockchain proxy with `http-proxy` directly instead of using `express` together
with `http-proxy-middleware`. The ultimate cause of the buggy behavior (the
"stuck sockets" problems described in #1166) is unknown.
The need to swallow some errors as described in embark PR #1181 is also
eliminated by dropping `http-proxy-middleware` and `express`.
For reasons unknown, `ECONNRESET` errors on websocket connections to embark's
blockchain proxy are not automatically handled on Windows as they are on macOS
and Linux (or those errors aren't happening on those platforms, it's difficult
to determine). Explicitly swallow such errors so the blockchain process doesn't
crash. Prior to this PR, the crash-behavior can be reproduced on Windows by
running `embark blockchain` and `embark run` in separate terminals and quitting
`embark run` while `embark blockchain` is still running.
Consistently use the `simples` package's `WsParser` to process websocket
traffic instead of using `WsParser` for requests and the `ws` package's
`Websocket.Receiver` for responses.
Consistently use `pump` to connect parser streams instead of using `pump` in
some places and `chain` in others. Drop use of `cloneable` (and the package
dependency) since it was used previously in hopes it would fix the errors, but
it's unnecessary and didn't fix them.
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.

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.
Use proper stream parsing to consistently track JSON-RPC messages.
For HTTP POST requests use the `stream-json` package to assemble request and
response message objects.
For WebSocket requests continue to use `simples/lib/parsers/ws` to process
stream frames into messages. For Websocket responses use the Receiver class of
the `ws` package to process stream data into messages. In both cases, make use
of the `cloneable-readable` and `stream-chain` packages to avoid leaks.
This mishmash of stream parsing approaches is the result of much
experimentation to find a working solution. For example,
`simples/lib/parsers/ws` does't work for processing WebSocket responses and
`ws.Receiver` doesn't work for processing requests. Additional revisions may be
necessary.
Revise `blockchain_process/dev_funds.js` to use web3's HTTP provider if a DApp
disables the WebSocket proxy.
This commit automates our release process. It takes care of a couple of things:
- Bumps version number in package.json as needed, see below
- Generates changelog based on commit history
- Create release commit
- Tags release commit
- Pushes release commit including tags to upstream repository
- Publishes release on npm
There are a couple of options supported. The base command is run like this:
```
npm run release
```
This will do a minor bump and try to push to `origin` on `master`. However,
this can be altered with the following options.
```
npm run release -- --dry-run
```
Can be used to perform dry run and not actually committing, tagging, pushing,
publishing anything.
```
npm run release -- --release-as <something>
```
Something can be `minor`, `major`, `patch` or anything you want `foo`, `1.0.0` etc.
```
npm run release -- --prerelease alpha
```
Will create a prerelease version a la `4.0.0-alpha.x`.
```
npm run release -- --prerelease alpha --npm-dist-tag next
```
Publishes a dist tag on npm using dist tag `next`
```
npm run release -- --sign
```
Signs the release commit (you need to have PGP setup for that).
```
npm run release -- --repo-origin pascal --repo-branch foo/bar
```
Pushes the release commit into `pascal/foo/bar`.
yarn.lock files are generated for embark and embark-ui, and their package.json
files and other npm related files are updated to support and require using yarn
for development of embark itself and for embark's CI.
