How to build

2. Clone the repo:

cd fluffychat

Web

• Execute once before run or build:

./scripts/prepare-web.sh # To install Vodozemac

• Optionally configure by serving a config.json at the same path as fluffychat. An example can be found at config.sample.json. All values there are optional. Please only the values, you really need. If you e.g. only want to change the default homeserver, then only modify the defaultHomeserver key.

How to run integration tests

You need to have docker installed locally! Run the preparation script before every test run:

./scripts/prepare_integration_test.sh

Then run all tests with:

flutter test integration_test/mobile_test.dart
