- Test, Build and Deploy:
After making a change to the NeXus class definitions there are two important checks to be made before commiting the change:
- check whether the change does not violate any syntax rules
- verify whether the change looks as intended in the HTML documentation
First install the test and build requirements with this command (only run once)
make install
Then verify syntax and build the HTML manual with this command
make local
Open the HTML manual in a web brower for visual verification
firefox build/manual/build/html/index.html
