Setting up test environment

Verida DID Server (run locally)

The tests require running a local instance of the Verida DID server to support managing DIDs.

See @verida/did-server

Start a storage node server

You must run the Datastore server(https://github.com/verida/storage- node) locally so there is a CouchDB instance for your test data.

Run the following in a new terminal within the storage-node directory:

$ npm install
$ npm run start

Running tests

You can now run tests from within the client-ts directory:

$ yarn run tests        // run all tests
$ yarn run test test/storage.context.tests.ts       // run a specific test

Development within a Web Environment

These instructions build this client-ts package in the mono repo and allow it type be linked to another typescript web application (such as @verida/web-sandbox).

$ cd packages/client-ts
$ yarn install
$ yarn build
$ yarn link

Within an existing typescript web project:

$ yarn link @verida/client-ts
$ yarn run serve
