clsi-nginx.conf: the types{} block was overriding all nginx defaults,
leaving HTML/CSS/JS/fonts as application/octet-stream. Add the full
set of web MIME types so RevealJS assets are served correctly. Also
needed for X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to pass.
CompileController.js: success was hardcoded to require output.pdf.
Also accept output.html so a RevealJS compile is reported as
'success' rather than 'failure'.
QuartoRunner.js: remove hardcoded --to typst --output output.pdf.
Instead run `quarto render` without --to/--output so the YAML
frontmatter decides the format (typst → PDF, revealjs → HTML, etc.).
Pass --embed-resources so HTML output is self-contained (flag is
silently ignored by the typst backend). After render, rename
main.pdf → output.pdf or main.html → output.html so the pipeline
finds the standard canonical filename.
output-files.ts: handleOutputFiles now falls back to output.html when
output.pdf is absent. Download URL uses outputFile.path instead of
the hardcoded 'output.pdf' string.
pdf-viewer.tsx: when pdfUrl contains output.html, bypass PDF.js
entirely and render a sandboxed iframe (allow-scripts for RevealJS
interactivity, allow-presentation for fullscreen).
Usage: set `format: revealjs` in the .qmd YAML frontmatter to get
an HTML presentation preview; set `format: typst` for PDF.

overleaf/web
overleaf/web is the front-end web service of the open-source web-based collaborative LaTeX editor, Overleaf. It serves all the HTML pages, CSS and javascript to the client. overleaf/web also contains a lot of logic around creating and editing projects, and account management.
The rest of the Overleaf stack, along with information about contributing can be found in the overleaf/overleaf repository.
Running the app
The app runs natively using yarn and Node on the local system:
$ yarn install
$ yarn run start
Running Tests
To run all tests run:
make test
To run both unit and acceptance tests for a module run:
make test_module MODULE=saas-authentication
Unit Tests
The test suites run in Docker.
Unit tests can be run in the test_unit container defined in docker-compose.tests.yml.
The makefile contains a short cut to run these:
make test_unit
During development it is often useful to only run a subset of tests, which can be configured with arguments to the mocha CLI:
make test_unit MOCHA_GREP='AuthorizationManager'
To run only the unit tests for a single module do:
make test_unit_module MODULE=saas-authentication
Module tests can also use a MOCHA_GREP argument:
make test_unit_module MODULE=saas-authentication MOCHA_GREP=SSO
Acceptance Tests
Acceptance tests are run against a live service, which runs in the acceptance_test container defined in docker-compose.tests.yml.
To run the tests out-of-the-box, the makefile defines:
make test_acceptance
However, during development it is often useful to leave the service running for rapid iteration on the acceptance tests. This can be done with:
make test_acceptance_app_start_service
make test_acceptance_app_run # Run as many times as needed during development
make test_acceptance_app_stop_service
make test_acceptance just runs these three commands in sequence and then runs make test_acceptance_modules which performs the tests for each module in the modules directory. (Note that there is not currently an equivalent to the -start / -run x n / -stop series for modules.)
During development it is often useful to only run a subset of tests, which can be configured with arguments to the mocha CLI:
make test_acceptance_run MOCHA_GREP='AuthorizationManager'
To run only the acceptance tests for a single module do:
make test_acceptance_module MODULE=saas-authentication
Module tests can also use a MOCHA_GREP argument:
make test_acceptance_module MODULE=saas-authentication MOCHA_GREP=SSO
