* A number of fixes required for successful build after upgrades
- extract now takes an absolute directory only
- something changed, so we now need to force NODE_ENV=production; we use
electron-is-dev for this
- electron-builder, electron-publisher-s3, and electron-updater are now
updated to their latest available versions
* Add direct dependency on extract-zip, since we use it directly
* Load 'config' module after we've modified NODE_ENV
* Downgrade electron-builder due to bug, downgrade icon-maker too
The latest electron-builder came with a fix for one of our bugs as well
as a new bug that blocks builds on Windows: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2462
There's no good reason to upgrade icon-maker. And a good reason to keep at the version on github: https://github.com/jaretburkett/electron-icon-maker/issues/7
* Clean logs on startup; install server-side testing/linting
* Add eslint config, make all of app/ conform to its demands
* Add Node.js testing and linting to CI
* Lock project to Node.js 7.9.0, used by Electron 1.7.10
* New eslint error: trailing commas in function argumensts
Node 7.9.0 doesn't like trailing commas, but Electron does
* Move electron to devDependency, tell eslint it's built-in
* Script for beta config; unique data dir, in-app env/type display
To release a beta build, increment the version and add -beta-N to the
end, then go through all the standard release activities.
The prepare-build npm script then updates key bits of the package.json
to ensure that the beta build can be installed alongside a production
build. This includes a new name ('Signal Beta') and a different location
for application data.
Note: Beta builds can be installed alongside production builds.
As part of this, a couple new bits of data are shown across the app:
- Environment (development or test, not shown if production)
- App Instance (disabled in production; used for multiple accounts)
These are shown in:
- The window title - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds because the app name, preceding these data bits, is
different.
- The about window - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds from the version number.
- The header added to the debug log - just environment. The version
number will tell us if it's a beta build, and app instance isn't
helpful.
* Turn on single-window mode in non-production modes
Because it's really frightening when you see 'unable to read from db'
errors in the console.
* aply.sh: More instructions for initial setup and testing
* Gruntfile: Get consistent with use of package.json datas
* Linux: manually update desktop keys, since macros not available
