Remix-project NPM

Remix

Remix is a browser-based compiler and IDE that enables users to build Ethereum contracts with Solidity language and to debug transactions.

To try it out, visit https://remix.ethereum.org.

https://github.com/ethereum/remix-project/releases also gives others ways to use Remix locally. Please check it out.

Remix consists of many modules and in this repository you will find Remix related apps, libs and plugins. (remix-ide, remix-analyzer, etc.).

Offline Usage

The gh-pages branch has always the latest stable build of Remix. It also contains a ZIP file with the entire build. Download it to use offline.

Note: It contains the latest release of Solidity available at the time of the packaging. No other compiler versions are supported.

INSTALLATION:

Install npm and node.js (see https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node), then install Nx CLI globally to enable running nx executable commands.

npm install -g @nrwl/cli

clone the github repository (wget need to be installed first) :

git clone https://github.com/ethereum/remix-project.git

cd remix-project
npm install
nx build remix-ide --with-deps
nx serve

Docker:

Prerequisites:

Docker (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/)
Docker-compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

Run with docker

If you want to run latest changes that are merged into master branch then run:

docker pull remixproject/remix-ide:latest
docker run -p 8080:80 remixproject/remix-ide:latest

If you want to run latest remix-live release run.

docker pull remixproject/remix-ide:remix_live
docker run -p 8080:80 remixproject/remix-ide:remix_live

Run with docker-compose:

To run locally without building you only need docker-compose.yaml file and you can run:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Then go to http://localhost:8080 and you can use you Remix instance.

To fetch docker-compose file without cloning this repo run:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/remix-ide/master/docker-compose.yaml > docker-compose.yaml

DEVELOPING:

Run nx serve and open http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser.

Then open your text editor and start developing. The browser will automatically refresh when files are saved.

Troubleshooting building

Some things to consider if you have trouble building the package:

Make sure that you have the correct version of node, npm and nvm. Also ensure you have Nx CLI installed globally. You can find the version that is tested on Travis CI by looking at the log in the build results.

Run:

node --version
npm --version
nvm --version

In Debian based OS such as Ubuntu 14.04LTS you may need to run apt-get install build-essential. After installing build-essential run npm rebuild.

Unit Testing

Run the unit tests via: nx test <project-name>

    nx test remix-analyzer

Running unit tests via nx test requires at least node v10.0.0

Browser Testing

To run the Selenium tests via Nightwatch:

Build Remix IDE and serve it: nx build remix-ide --with-deps && nx serve # starts web server at localhost:8080
Make sure Selenium is installed npm run selenium-install # don't need to repeat
Run a selenium server npm run selenium
Run all the tests npm run nightwatch_local_firefox or npm run nightwatch_local_chrome

Or run a specific test case:

		- npm run nightwatch_local_ballot

 - npm run nightwatch_local_usingWorker
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_libraryDeployment
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_solidityImport
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_recorder
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_transactionExecution
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_staticAnalysis
	
		- npm run nightwatch_local_signingMessage

 - npm run nightwatch_local_specialFunctions

 - npm run nightwatch_local_solidityUnitTests

 - npm run nightwatch_local_remixd # remixd needs to be run

		- npm run nightwatch_local_terminal

 - npm run nightwatch_local_gist

 - npm run nightwatch_local_workspace

 - npm run nightwatch_local_defaultLayout

 - npm run nightwatch_local_pluginManager

 - npm run nightwatch_local_publishContract

 - npm run nightwatch_local_generalSettings

 - npm run nightwatch_local_fileExplorer

 - npm run nightwatch_local_debugger

 - npm run nightwatch_local_editor

 - npm run nightwatch_local_compiler

 - npm run nightwatch_local_txListener

 - npm run nightwatch_local_fileManager

 - npm run nightwatch_local_runAndDeploy

NOTE:

the ballot tests suite requires to run ganache-cli locally.
the remixd tests suite requires to run remixd locally.
the gist tests suite requires specifying a github access token in .env file.

    gist_token = <token>

note that this token should have permission to create a gist.
