Build from Source

The CloudWatch RUM web client is developed and built using Node.js version 16 or higher.

To build the CloudWatch RUM web client, run the release process:

npm install
npm run release

The release process creates (1) a web bundle and a debug map for distribution via CDN, and (2) JavaScript modules and TypeScript declaration files for distribution via NPM.

The CDN files are:

./build/assets/cwr.js
./build/assets/cwr.map.js

The NPM files are:

./dist/es/index.js
./dist/es/index.d.ts
./dist/cjs/index.js
./dist/cjs/index.d.ts

Run Tests from Source

To perform exploratory testing, run the Webpack DevServer:

npm install
npm run server

In a browser, navigate to http://localhost:9000.

To run (Jest) unit tests:

npm run test

To run (TestCafe) browser integration tests:

npm run integ:headless
npm run integ:browser

To run (TestCafe) integration tests for a specific browser:

npm run integ -- (browserName)
# for example
npm run integ -- chrome:headless
npm run integ -- chrome

Some features perform monkey patching which is incompatible with TestCafe. In these cases, run Nightwatch as a separate browser integration test target:

npm run integ:local:nightwatch

Pre-commit Tasks

The CloudWatch RUM web client uses pre-commit tasks to lint and format its source code. Before submitting code, check that all linter and formatter warnings have been resolved.

Attempt to automatically repair linter warnings:

npm run lint:fix

Format code:

npm run prettier:fix
