## Run demo:
- npm install
- npm run demo-win (for windows)
- npm run demo-mac (for mac osx)

## Build Instructions:

### Mac
- npm install
- npm run dev (to run locally)
- to build mac app:
  * npm run unpacked-mac
  * The distributable is created in the `dist/mac` directory
- to build mac package (installer):  
  * npm run packed-mac
  * The .pkg file will be generated in the `installer/mac/build` directory

### Windows
- npm install
- npm run dev (to run locally)
- To build windows unpacked exe:
  * npm run unpacked-win
  * The distributable is created in the `dist/win-unpacked` directory
- To build windows 32 bit unpacked exe (installer):
  * npm run unpacked-win-x86
  * The distributable is created in the `dist/win-ia32-unpacked` directory
- To create msi (installer):
  * Run the advanced installer script located in `installer/win` directory
  * There are two configuration files one each for 64-bit and 32-bit

#### MSI command line options:
- To install for all users (admin required): msiexec.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi ALLUSERS=1
- To install per user: msiexec.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi ALLUSERS=""
- To change default pod url: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi POD_URL=my.symphony.com

- The installer will include file config/Symphony.config next to executable. Changes in this file will effect all users.  

## Tests and Code Coverage
- [Jest framework](http://facebook.github.io/jest/) is used to run tests
- Use `npm test` to run unit tests
- Code coverage reports are placed in [coverage](./out/coverage) directory
- To check the test run report, see the [dist](./out) directory
- See the [tests](./tests) directory to find all the unit tests

## Logging
- Local logging is enabled for dev environments using the module [electron-log](https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-log)
- On macOS, the logs are stored under `~/Library/Logs/<app name>/log.log`
- On Windows, the logs are stored under `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\<app name>\log.log`

## Misc notes
- If desiring to run against server without proper cert use cmd line option: --ignore-certificate-errors
- To start additional instance with custom data directory (if you want seperate user) use cmd line options: --multiInstance --userDataPath=`<path to data dir>`
