$headers = [
    'From: [email protected]',
    'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'

Repository Structure

This repository is structured as follows:

• builders/: Contains the main service builder for the Mailpit plugin.
• config/: Contains configuration files used in services managed by the Mailpit plugin.
• tasks/: Contains Lando command implementations.
• test/: Contains unit test files.
• examples/: Example configurations and usage scenarios executed by Leia for testing.
• utils/: Utility functions used by the Mailpit plugin.

Linting

This project uses ESLint for code linting. The configuration is defined in eslint.config.js using the new flat config format. We use the Google ESLint configuration as a base and extend it with custom rules, including JSDoc validation.

To run the linter, use:

npm run lint

Testing

This project uses Mocha for unit testing. To run the tests, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have all dependencies installed:

   npm install

2. Run the unit tests:

   npm run test:unit

The test files are located in the test directory. The main test files include:

• test/mailpit.spec.js - Tests for the Mailpit builder
• test/mailpitTask.spec.js - Tests for the mailpit command

We also use Leia for integration testing. Leia steps through the README files in the examples directory, executes the examples as if they were a user, and validates things are rolling as they should. To run these tests:

npm run test:leia

To run all tests (unit and Leia):

npm test
