You will need Firefox, Chrome, their respective Webdriver plugins (for testng), and the normal Node stuff. For convenience you can use this toolbox:
toolbox create -i ghcr.io/jelford/webdev-toolbox:latest -c webdev
toolbox enter webdev
npm install
Build using Mozilla's web-ext tool:
web-ext lint
web-ext build
Output will be under web-ext-artifacts and should be compatible with Firefox or
Chrome.
keyn uses bumpversion and a python wrapper to document/automate the release
./release.py patch # or major/minor
This will:
- Run lints
- Run
bumpversion - Build a new artifact
- Provide links to extension web stores (manual upload)
keyn uses only one third-part dependency: webextension-polyfill.
It's used in unbundled form,
downloaded into the libs/ folder. Update by replacing with the latest version.
