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

Routes

Run bin/routes to print out all routes in the project.
