Testing

To run tests on your machine you'll need to install Node.js and run make install. Then you can run the following commands:

make test              # run all the tests
make test-unit         # run the unit tests

You can run the unit tests with coverage reporting, which expects 90% coverage or more:

make test-unit-coverage verify-coverage

The code will also need to pass linting on CI, you can run the linter locally with:

make verify

We run the tests and linter on CI, you can view results on CircleCI. make test and make lint must pass before we merge a pull request.

Deployment

New versions of the module are published automatically by CI when a new tag is created matching the pattern /v.*/.
