Firefox Accounts Content Server

Static server that hosts Firefox Account sign up, sign in, email verification, etc. flows.

Prerequisites

• node 0.10.x or higher
• npm
• Grunt (npm install -g grunt-cli)
• PhantomJS (npm install -g phantomjs)
• bower (npm install -g bower)
• libgmp
  • On Linux: install libgmp and libgmp-dev packages
  • On Mac OS X: brew install gmp
• fxa-auth-server running on 127.0.0.1:9000.

Development Setup

cp server/config/local.json-dist server/config/local.json
npm install
npm start

It will listen on http://127.0.0.1:3030 by default.

Testing

Setup

There is quite a bit of setup to do before you can test this service, which is non-optimal, but for now:

• Set up saucelabs credentials (we have an opensource account: SAUCE_USERNAME=fxa-content SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=ee5354a4-3d5e-47a0-84b0-0b7aaa12a720)
• PhantomJS: phantomjs --webdriver=4444 (see Prerequisites)
• Run the Firefox Content Server locally: npm start
• Run an instance of the fxa-auth-server at 127.0.0.1:9000.

e.g. in shell form:

export SAUCE_USERNAME=fxa-content
export SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=ee5354a4-3d5e-47a0-84b0-0b7aaa12a720
phantomjs --webdriver=4444 &
cd fxa-auth-server
npm start &
cd ../fxa-content-server
npm start &

Running the tests

To run tests locally against phantomjs:

npm test

To run tests against saucelabs:

npm run-script test-remote

Advanced local testing using headed browsers

It is possible to run the Selenium tests against local browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

Prerequisites:

• Java JDK or JRE (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
• Selenium Server (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/)

Configuration:

• edit tests/intern.js to select the browsers to test under environments.
• comment out phantom

Running the tests

• Start the Selenium Server: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.38.0.jar
• Stop PhantomJS if it is running.
• from the fxa-content-server directory, type npm test

Configuration

The default auth server is http://api-accounts.dev.lcip.org. To change this, edit server/config/*.json on your deployed instance.

{
  'fxaccount_url': 'http://your.auth.server.here.org'
}

Grunt Commands

Grunt is used to run common tasks to build, test, and run local servers.

• grunt jshint - run JSHint on client side and testing JavaScript.
• grunt build - build production resources.
• grunt clean - remove any built production resources.
• grunt test - run local Intern tests.
• grunt server - run a local server running on port 3030 with development resources.
• grunt server:dist - run a local server running on port 3030 with production resources. Production resources will be built as part of the task.
• grunt version - stamp a new minor version. Updates the version number and creates a new CHANGELOG.md
• grunt version:patch - stamp a new patch version. Updates the version number and creates a new CHANGELOG.md
