Continuing our theme of treating all languages equally, move wrappers/javascript to javascrpit. Automerge libraries for new languages should be built at this top level if possible.

#End to end testing for javascript packaging
The network of packages and bundlers we rely on to get the automerge package
working is a little complex. We have the automerge-wasm package, which the
automerge package depends upon, which means that anyone who depends on
automerge needs to either a) be using node or b) use a bundler in order to
load the underlying WASM module which is packaged in automerge-wasm.
The various bundlers involved are complicated and capricious and so we need an
easy way of testing that everything is in fact working as expected. To do this
we run a custom NPM registry (namely Verdaccio) and
build the automerge-wasm and automerge packages and publish them to this
registry. Once we have this registry running we are able to build the example
projects which depend on these packages and check that everything works as
expected.
Usage
First, install everything:
yarn install
Build automerge-js
This builds the automerge-wasm package and then runs yarn build in the
automerge-js project with the --registry set to the verdaccio registry. The
end result is that you can run yarn test in the resulting automerge-js
directory in order to run tests against the current automerge-wasm.
yarn e2e buildjs
Build examples
This either builds or the examples in automerge-js/examples or just a subset
of them. Once this is complete you can run the relevant scripts (e.g. vite dev
for the Vite example) to check everything works.
yarn e2e buildexamples
Or, to just build the webpack example
yarn e2e buildexamples -e webpack
Run Registry
If you're experimenting with a project which is not in the examples folder
you'll need a running registry. run-registry builds and publishes
automerge-js and automerge-wasm and then runs the registry at
localhost:4873.
yarn e2e run-registry
You can now run yarn install --registry http://localhost:4873 to experiment
with the built packages.
Using the dev build of automerge-wasm
All the commands above take a -p flag which can be either release or
debug. The debug builds with additional debug symbols which makes errors
less cryptic.
