# SymphonyElectron
|
|
|
|
## About:
|
|
|
|
SymphonyElectron is a desktop client of the Symphony Communication Platform built for macOS, Windows 10 and Windows 7.
|
|
|
|
## Project Goals:
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to improve the performance and development agility of Symphony's desktop wrapper and build a path to support other wrappers by:
|
|
|
|
1. Standardizing the JS to native interfaces
|
|
2. Standardizing the app to app interfaces (current embedding API)
|
|
3. Provide an open and free reference implementation that anyone can contribute to, modify, and make derivative works.
|
|
|
|
In order to achieve those goals Symphony is participating and working in close collaboration with the [Foundation Desktop Wrapper Working Group](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/WGDWAPI/Working+Group+-+Desktop+Wrapper+API)
|
|
|
|
## Windows Dev Env
|
|
- NodeJS version >= 7.4.0 (corresponds to electron 1.6.7)
|
|
- install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 with both C++ and .NET/C# development tools. Free community versions works.
|
|
- also make sure .NET3.5SP1 is installed.
|
|
- note: C++ tools needed to recompile node modules
|
|
- note: .NET/C# tools needed to compile screen-snippet
|
|
- open 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2015' - this sets paths to visual studio build tools
|
|
|
|
## Mac Dev Env
|
|
- need to install xcode command line tools.
|
|
- NodeJS version >= 7.4.0 (corresponds to electron 1.6.7) - needed to run tests locally
|
|
|
|
## Run demo:
|
|
- npm install
|
|
- npm run demo-win (for windows)
|
|
- npm run demo-mac (for mac osx)
|
|
|
|
## Build Instructions:
|
|
- npm install
|
|
- to run locally: npm run dev
|
|
- to build mac pkg:
|
|
* npm run unpacked-mac
|
|
* install software to build .pkg: http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html
|
|
* /usr/local/bin/packagesbuild -v installer/mac/symphony-mac-packager.pkgproj
|
|
* The .pkg file will output in directory: installer/mac/build
|
|
- to build win msi: npm run unpacked-win (for 64 bit) and use 'advanced installer' .aip file in installer/ dir
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
- to change auto start: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi AUTO_START=true (or false) - if not specified default it true.
|
|
- to change minimize on close: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi MINIMIZE_ON_CLOSE=true (or false) - if not specified default is true.
|
|
- any of the above options can be chained together, for example: msiexe.exe /i Symphony-x64.msi MINIMIZE_ON_CLOSE=true AUTO_START=false POD_URL=my.symphony.com
|
|
|
|
## Start URL
|
|
- To change the start url (i.e., pod url), edit config/Symphony.config and change 'url' variable. if no protocol provided, then https will be added.
|
|
- 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 is used to run tests: http://facebook.github.io/jest/
|
|
- to run tests and get code coverage report: npm test
|
|
- code coverage reports are placed in dir: converage
|
|
- tests are located in dir: 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`
|
|
- Remote logging is enabled for local and production cases and are sent to the backend server via the remote objects
|
|
|
|
## 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>
|
|
- if directory doesn't exist, it will be created
