Gulp flows

To make development faster and more automated there are several Gulp tasks available:

gulp

Builds project into build directory. Under the hood compiles and compresses Sass/CSS, compiles scripts with (RequireJs) and uglifies it.
gulp bump-version

Works with gitglow releases. E.g. when you’re on release/0.4.4 branch it will update cache beaters to follow version.
gulp karma

Starts Karma server watching scripts updates.
gulp karma-ci

Runs tests against the build (which should be run first) and quits, is good to use in CI scenarios.
gulp protractor

Runs E2E tests against source files.
gulp protractor-ci

Runs E2E tests against the build.
gulp sass

Compiles Sass project, feeds output to Autoprefixer and minifies it via CSSO.
gulp watch

Listens to changes to stylesheets and scripts and reloads browser page during development.

Vendor update

bower install

To update all the dependencies to the latest compatible versions.

Tests

Tests use Jasmin for assertions.

E2E Tests

Protractor is used to provide way to do E2E tests. To install go to client directory and run:

npm install -g protractor

// This installs Selenium standalone
// server and Chrome driver:
webdriver-manager update

// Start the server with:
gulp webdriver

// To test source:
gulp protractor

Check p.conf and p-compiled.conf for Protractor settings.

Checkout Protractor docs for more information.
