Tidepool Uploader

This is a Chrome App that acts as an uploader client for Tidepool. It is intended to allow you to plug devices into the USB port and automatically load the data stored on it up to the Tidepool cloud.

How to set it up

Clone this repository.
Run npm install
Set the config for the environment you want to target (see Config section below)
Run npm start (will bundle files, and watch for changes)
Open Chrome. Go to chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode (checkbox on the top line).
Click "Load Unpacked Extension".
Choose the directory you checked out above and click OK.
To run it, you can choose "Launch" from the chrome://extensions page. You can also run it from the Chrome App Launcher, which Chrome may install for you whether you want it or not.
If you're developing, you may find that the only way it runs properly is to hit "Reload" after each change to the source. You will definitely need to reload any time you change the manifest.

Config

Configuration values (for example the URL of the Tidepool Platform) are set via environment variables. If you need to add a config value, modify the .config.js file. If you need to read a config value inside the app, use var config = require('./lib/config'). To set config values (do this before building the app), you can use Shell scripts that export environment variables (see config/local.sh for an example that exports the appropriate variables when running the whole Tidepool platform locally using runservers), for example:

$ source config/local.sh
$ npm start

Debug Mode

The environment variable DEBUG_ERROR (boolean) controls whether or not errors are caught and an error message displayed in the UI (the production setting) or whether they are thrown in the console (much more useful for local development because then the file name and line number of the error are easily accessible). Debug mode is turned on by default in config/debug.sh.

How to run the tests

npm test
