zapier-platform-legacy-scripting-runner v3.7.9

zapier-platform-legacy-scripting-runner

This is Zapier's Legacy Scripting Runner, used by Web Builder apps converted to CLI.

This allows you to run methods from existing Scripting code in CLI, and handles the bundle conversion and method availability automatically for you.

You shouldn't have to install anything. This package will be required and installed by your app automatically, if necessary, after running zapier convert. You only need CLI installed (i.e. npm i -g zapier-platform-cli).

Steps

1. zapier convert <YOUR_APP_ID> <FOLDER_TO_PUT_APP_INTO>
2. cd <FOLDER_TO_PUT_APP_INTO> && npm install
3. zapier test.

Note scripting.js should look very familiar to you.

Known Limitations

• z.cookie_jar is unavailable (uncommon).
• bundle.zap won't be filled out in most cases (CLI doesn't receive this information except for performSubscribe and performUnsubscribe in Hooks).

Development

Note this section is intended for Zapier engineers, not for App Developers.

1. Clone this repo and run npm link inside of it;
2. Convert an app;
3. Inside the app run npm link zapier-platform-legacy-scripting-runner.

Testing

npm test runs some unit tests, npm run ci-test pulls the "full-test" app and runs zapier test in it.

Releasing

1. Run npm version [patch|minor|major] to update the version in package.json and push a version tag to GitHub.
2. Wait for Travis to publish the package to npm.

Test Repos

Some repos might be private. They might have more instructions in their own READMEs.
