Prerequisites

Windows

  • NodeJS version >= 18.16.0
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Community or Paid (C++ and .NET/C# development tools)
  • Python >= 2.7.1
  • Dot Net 3.5 SP1 or later

Notes

  • C++ tools are required to recompile node modules
  • Dot NET/C# tools required to compile screen-snippet module
  • Open 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2017'. This sets paths to visual studio build tools.

Mac

  • Xcode command line tools. Or better, Xcode latest version
  • NodeJS version >= 18.16.0
  • Sudre Packages

Notes

  • Ensure you have accepted the XCode license agreement
  • We use Sudre packages to create a .pkg installer file

Running SDA

  • Set this.origin to '*' in app-bridge.ts when running the demo.
  • Search for // DEMO-APP: and comment that line back in.
  • Make sure to comment it out again before you commit.
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build SDA
npm run prebuild

# Run against a POD
npm run dev -- --url=https://corporate.symphony.com

# Run the demo app
npm run demo

Tests

# Run all the tests
npm run compile:spec
npm run test

# Specific Tests
npm run test -- --match=spell*

# Run Unit tests only
npm run test:unit

# Specific Unit tests
npm run test:unit -- --match=spell*

Code Coverage

  • We capture the Code coverage reports under coverage
  • To check the test run report, see the out directory
  • See the tests directory to find all the unit tests

Packaging:

  • Add Artifactory credentials to your home directory .npmrc file
  1. Login to https://repo.symphony.com/ in your browser
  2. Open https://repo.symphony.com/artifactory/webapp/#/profile
  3. Click generate token
  4. Execute curl --location --request GET 'https://repo.symphony.com/artifactory/api/npm/auth' --header 'X-JFrog-Art-Api: <token from #3>'
  5. Update ~/.npmrc with:
registry = https://repo.symphony.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-virtual-dev/
//repo.symphony.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-virtual-dev/:_auth = <auth value from #4>
always-auth = true

Mac 🖥

  • npm install
  • npm run dev (to run locally)
  • To build the macOS app:
    • Run the command npm run unpacked-mac
    • The distributable is created in the dist/mac directory
  • To build mac package (installer):
    • Run the command npm run packed-mac
    • The .pkg file will be generated in the installer/mac/build directory

Windows 💻

  • npm install
  • npm run dev (to run locally)
  • To build windows unpacked exe:
    • Run the command npm run unpacked-win
    • The distributable is created in the dist/win-unpacked directory
  • To build windows 64-bit unpacked exe:
    • Run the command npm run unpacked-win
    • The distributable is created in the dist/win-unpacked directory
  • To create msi (installer):
    • Run the advanced installer script located in installer/win directory

MSI command line options:

  • To install for all users (admin required): msiexec.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi ALLUSERS=1
  • To install per user: msiexec.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi ALLUSERS=""
  • To change default pod url: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi POD_URL=my.symphony.com
  • To change auto start: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi AUTO_LAUNCH=true (or false) - if not specified default it true.
  • To change minimize on close: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi MINIMIZE_ON_CLOSE=true (or false) - if not specified default is true.
  • Any of the above options can be chained together, for example: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi MINIMIZE_ON_CLOSE=true AUTO_START=false POD_URL=my.symphony.com
  • The available values for various settings in the installer is listed below
    • POD_URL (String)
    • ALWAYS_ON_TOP (Boolean)
    • AUTO_LAUNCH (Boolean)
    • MINIMIZE_ON_CLOSE (Boolean)
    • BRING_TO_FRONT (Boolean)

    • NOTIFICATIONS (Boolean)
    • MIDI_SYSEX (Boolean)
    • FULL_SCREEN (Boolean)
    • POINTER_LOCK (Boolean)

Linux 🐳

  • Download and install Docker daemon here
  • Run the below docker commands under the project directory
  • To generate and tag the container docker build -t linux:6.0.0 --build-arg REPO=https://github.com/symphonyoss/SymphonyElectron --build-arg BRANCH=linux .
  • To make sure the image is created and tagged correctly docker images
  • To run the docker image and generate the linux builds 🎉 docker run --name linux linux:6.0.0
  • To copy the builds docker cp linux:/SymphonyElectron/dist/symphony-6.1.0.x86_64.rpm ~/Desktop docker cp linux:/SymphonyElectron/dist/symphony_6.1.0_amd64.deb ~/Desktop
Other useful docker commands
  • To connect to the interactive bash docker run -i -t linux:6.0.0 /bin/bash
  • To delete all stopper containers docker system prune -a
  • To delete the container/image docker rmi -f linux:6.0.0

Change POD URL

  • To change the start url (i.e., pod url), edit config/Symphony.config and change 'url' variable. if no protocol provided, then https will be added.
  • The installer will include file config/Symphony.config next to executable. Changes in this file will affect all users.
  • Alternatively, to run against a specific pod, launch Symphony (SDA) with the command line parameter --url=pod_url . With this, you don't have to change the config/Symphony.config file every time.

Troubleshooting

Logging

  • We enable local logging for dev environments using the module [electron-log](https://www.npmjs.com/package /electron-log)
  • On macOS, we store the logs under ~/Library/Logs/Electron/app_<timestamp>.log
  • On Windows, we store the logs under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Electron\app_<timestamp>.log
  • On Linux, we store the logs under ~/.config/Electron/logs/app_<timestamp>.log

Customisation

  • If you need to run against a POD without proper cert use cmd line option: --ignore-certificate-errors
  • To start an additional instance with custom data directory (if you want seperate user) use cmd line options : --multiInstance --userDataPath=<path to data dir>
  • If directory doesn't exist, it will be created
