- Design organization buy-in
- design.d2l entry
- Architectural sign-off
- Continuous integration
- Cross-browser testing
- Unit tests (if applicable)

Running the demos
To start an es-dev-server that hosts the demo page and tests:
npm startLinting
# eslint and lit-analyzer
npm run lint
# eslint only
npm run lint:eslint
# lit-analyzer only
npm run lint:litTesting
# lint, unit test and visual-diff test
npm test
# lint only
npm run lint
# unit tests only
npm run test:headless
# debug or run a subset of local unit tests
# then navigate to `http://localhost:9876/debug.html`
npm run test:headless:watchVisual Diff Testing
This repo uses the @brightspace-ui/visual-diff utility to compare current snapshots against a set of golden snapshots stored in source control.
# run visual-diff tests
npm run test:diff
# subset of visual-diff tests:
npm run test:diff -- -g some-pattern
# update visual-diff goldens
npm run test:diff:goldenGolden snapshots in source control must be updated by Travis CI. To trigger an update, press the "Regenerate Goldens" button in the pull request visual-difference test run.
Versioning, Releasing
TL;DR: Commits prefixed with
fix:andfeat:will trigger patch and minor releases when merged tomaster. Read on for more details...
The sematic-release GitHub Action is called from the release.yml GitHub Action workflow to handle version changes and releasing.
Version Changes
All version changes should obey semantic versioning rules: 1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, 2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and 3. PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
The next version number will be determined from the commit messages since the previous release. Our semantic-release configuration uses the Angular convention when analyzing commits:
- Commits which are prefixed with
fix:orperf:will trigger apatchrelease. Example:fix: validate input before using - Commits which are prefixed with
feat:will trigger aminorrelease. Example:feat: add toggle() method - To trigger a MAJOR release, include
BREAKING CHANGE:with a space or two newlines in the footer of the commit message - Other suggested prefixes which will NOT trigger a release:
build:,ci:,docs:,style:,refactor:andtest:. Example:docs: adding README for new component
To revert a change, add the revert: prefix to the original commit message. This will cause the reverted change to be omitted from the release notes. Example: revert: fix: validate input before using.
Releases
When a release is triggered, it will:
- Update the version in
package.json - Tag the commit
- Create a GitHub release (including release notes)
- Deploy a new package to NPM
Releasing from Maintenance Branches
Occasionally you'll want to backport a feature or bug fix to an older release. semantic-release refers to these as maintenance branches.
Maintenance branch names should be of the form: +([0-9])?(.{+([0-9]),x}).x.
Regular expressions are complicated, but this essentially means branch names should look like:
1.15.xfor patch releases on top of the1.15release (after version1.16exists)2.xfor feature releases on top of the2release (after version3exists)
