Summary:
Previously, our CI script would run `yarn backend`, which has the
side-effect of erasing the `bin/` directory. By itself, this is not
great, but not awful. However, this frequently triggers a race condition
in Prettier, causing the `check-pretty` step of the build to fail. (More
details: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/4468.)
This patch changes the CI script to build the backend scripts into a
temporary directory.
Test Plan:
Before applying this patch: `yarn backend` and then `yarn travis`. If
this consistently causes a Travis failure due to `check-pretty`, then
your machine can reproduce the race condition that we‛re trying to
eliminate. (Otherwise, you can try creating a bunch more Git history…
I’m not really sure what to say. It is a race condition, after all.)
Then, apply this patch, and repeat the above steps; note that the error
no longer occurs, and that the build output is to a temporary directory.

- scripts/backend.js: We incorrectly set an environment variable to
a boolean, when in fact it must be a string. Fixed it to set a string
value "true", and updated usage in config/babel.js
- scripts/test.js: No changes
- scripts/build.js: Removed a call to printHostingInstructions, so that
we don't need to require the package.json.
Test plan:
`yarn travis --full` passes, and the SourceCred cli still works.
This script ensures that either //@flow or //@no-flow is present in
every js file. Every existing js file that would fail this check has
been given //@no-flow, we should work to remove all of these in the
future.
Test plan:
I verified that `yarn travis` fails before fixing the other js files,
and passes afterwards.
Summary:
Consequently, Babel won’t transform classes to their roughly equivalent
ES5 counterparts, etc.
Test Plan:
Create `src/classy.js` with `class X {}; console.log(X);`. Then, add a
build target for `classy: resolveApp("src/classy.js"),` in `paths.js`.
Use `yarn backend` and inspect the contents of `bin/classy.js`; in
particular, look at the definition of `X` (whatever the argument to
`console.log` is). Before this commit, the result will be a big
complicated mess. After this commit, it will be `class X {}`.
Note also that `yarn travis --full` passes, indicating that the two
manual tests, which call out to the utilities in `bin/`, still work.

Summary:
Running `yarn backend` will now bundle backend applications. They’ll be
placed into the new `bin/` directory. This enables us to use ES6 modules
with the standard syntax, Flow types, and all the other goodies that
we’ve come to expect. A backend build takes about 2.5s on my laptop.
Created by forking the prod configuration to a backend configuration and
trimming it down appropriately.
To test out the new changes, this commit changes `fetchGitHubRepo` and
its driver to use the ES6 module system and Flow types, both of which
are properly resolved.
Test Plan:
Run `yarn backend`. Then, you can directly run an entry point via
```
$ node bin/fetchAndPrintGitHubRepo.js sourcecred example-repo "${TOKEN}"
```
or invoke the standard test driver via
```shell
$ GITHUB_TOKEN="${TOKEN}" src/backend/fetchGitHubRepoTest.sh
```
where `${TOKEN}` is your GitHub authentication token.
