Branching Strategy

Welcome to our project! Here's an overview of our branching strategy.

E2E Testing

We utilize Cucumber.js with Selenium for end-to-end (E2E) testing. To conduct these tests, you'll require the ChromeDriver. Here's how to install it:

On Mac:

brew install chromedriver
cd "$(dirname "$(which chromedriver)")"
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver

Once installed, you can run tests in the browser using:

yarn test:e2e

Alternatively, you can run headless tests directly in the console using:

yarn test:e2e:headless

Publishing

# prepare the release, this will check out the release branch, install dependencies, build packages, test and update the package versions
yarn prepare:release X.Y.Z

Create the PR for the release branch vX.Y.Z.

When the PR is merged, create the release on github called X.Y.Z, it will automatically publish the packages to npm.
