In this page you will find our recommended way of installing Docker on your machine. This guide is made for macOS users.
Install Docker Desktop.
docker build -t algolia-js --build-arg NODE_IMAGE=node:$(cat .nvmrc)-alpine .
You need to provide few environment variables at runtime to be able to run the Common Test Suite. You can set them up directly in the command:
docker run -it --rm --env ALGOLIA_APP_ID=XXXXXX [...] -v $PWD:/app -v /app/node_modules -w /app algolia-js bash
However, we advise you to export them in your .bashrc
or .zshrc
. That way, you can use Docker's shorten syntax to set your variables.
### This is needed only to run the full test suite
docker run -it --rm --env ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID_1 \
--env ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY_1 \
--env ALGOLIA_SEARCH_KEY_1 \
--env ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID_2 \
--env ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY_2 \
--env ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID_MCM \
--env ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY_MCM \
-v $PWD:/app -v /app/node_modules -w /app algolia-js bash
Once your container is running, any changes you make in your IDE are directly reflected in the container, except for the node_modules
folder.
If you want to add or remove packages, you will have to rebuild the image, this is because the node_modules
folder is installed in a different folder to improve performance.
To launch the tests, you can use one of the following commands
# run only the unit tests
yarn test:unit
# run a single test
yarn test:unit nameOfYourTest
You can find more commands in the package.json
file.
