Josh Justice 33fb70f6b6 Remove persistence from RNTester app (#22596)
Summary:
Previously the RNTester app saved what screen you were on and what filter text was entered into the initial screen. This made e2e testing complex, as each test needed to manually restore the state to the home screen. If the state ever got out of sync with the test's expectations, it could lead to multiple failed tests.

There is still one specific component that uses persistence: `RNTesterSettingSwitchRow`. Persistence can be removed from this component next time tests for it are updated. As a result, `RNTesterStatePersister` is not yet entirely removed from the app.

RNTester

The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.

Running this app

Before running the app, make sure you ran:

git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install

Running on iOS

Mac OS and Xcode are required.

  • Open RNTester/RNTester.xcodeproj in Xcode
  • Hit the Run button

See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.

Running on iOS with CocoaPods

Similar to above, you can build the app via Xcode with help of CocoaPods.

  • Install CocoaPods
  • Run cd RNTester; pod install
  • Open the generated RNTesterPods.xcworkspace (this is not checked in). Do not open RNTesterPods.xcodeproj directly.

Running on Android

You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.

Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).

cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh

Note: Building for the first time can take a while.

Open the RNTester app in your emulator.

See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.

Running with Buck

Follow the same setup as running with gradle.

Install Buck from here.

Run the following commands from the react-native folder:

./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh

Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).

Running Detox Tests on iOS

Install Detox from here.

To run the e2e tests locally, run the following commands from the react-native folder:

yarn build-ios-e2e
yarn test-ios-e2e

These are the equivalent of running:

detox build -c ios.sim.release
detox test -c ios.sim.release --cleanup

These build the app in Release mode, so the production code is bundled and included in the built app.

When developing E2E tests, you may want to run in development mode, so that changes to the production code show up immediately. To do this, run:

detox build -c ios.sim.debug
detox test -c ios.sim.debug

You will also need to have Metro Bundler running in another terminal. Note that if you've previously run the E2E tests in release mode, you may need to delete the RNTester/build folder before rerunning detox build.

Built from source

Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.

This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
