SoundCleod Development

Getting started

  • Clone this repository locally.
  • Install Node.js (SoundCleod is tested with the latest LTS version).
  • Run npm install in the root folder of the project.

Run SoundCleod with the following command:

npm start

SoundCleod comes with a small test suite:

npm test # run all tests
npm test -- test/options.js # run a single test file

The JavaScript code is verified with ESLint. It is strongly recommended to install a plugin for your editor or simply run npm run eslint from the command line. Some problems can automatically be fixed using npm run eslint:fix.

Consistent code formatting is enforced with Prettier. It is strongly recommended to install a plugin for your editor. To verify correct formatting run npm run prettier from the command line, to reformat files use npm run prettier:fix.

Now that you are all set start making changes and check out the Electron documentation for more!

Packaging

Note: if you don't have a code signing certificate on macOS you should create a self-signed one before packaging SoundCleod.

The application can be packaged into a standalone executable with the npm pack script:

npm run pack # package for the current platform
npm run pack -- --win # package for a specific platform (--win or --mac)
# The executables will be in the `dist` folder:
dist/win-unpacked/SoundCleod.exe
dist/mac/SoundCleod.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundCleod

Distributable installers can be built with the npm dist script:

npm run dist # package for the current platform
npm run dist -- --win # package for a specific platform (--win or --mac)
# The installers will be in the `dist` folder:
dist/squirrel-windows/SoundCleod Setup 1.4.0.exe
dist/SoundCleod-1.4.0.dmg

Debugging with Chromium Web Developer Tools

Start SoundCleod with npm start or the installed application with --developer-tools:

/Applications/SoundCleod.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundCleod --developer-tools

Use Cmd+Option+I to toggle Developer Tools or use View > Toggle Developer Tools from the menu.

Tricks and tips

Starting SoundCleod with arguments on Windows (installed location)

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\soundcleod\Update.exe --processStart "SoundCleod.exe" --process-start-args "arg1 arg2"

Override what version to build:

npm run dist -- --em.version=1.1.7-pre.1

Debugging packaging and code signing:

DEBUG=electron-builder,electron-osx-sign npm run pack
