- local-compile-context: suppress failure/exited error state when changedAt > 0 (another compile is already queued), preventing the UI from flashing an error banner mid-typing that resolves moments later - TypstRunner + CompileController: detect "compiled with errors" from typst watch and non-zero exit from typst compile, and signal status:'failure' to the frontend so the log panel opens automatically with the parsed error details (previously always returned 'success') - footer.scss: add dark-mode overrides for footer.site-footer so the thin footer on project/marketing pages uses bg-dark-primary and content-primary-dark text in dark theme instead of hardcoded light bg Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
