- `@appium/gulp-plugins` does not use `tsc` and continues to use...whatever it uses.
- `@appium/doctor` now has generated declarations, though I didn't bother to do anything with the types
- rewrote swaths of build scripts:
- removed the `fix` and `lint` scripts from each workspace (package) since I don't think they get used and they are of limited value
- for tests and autoinstallation of extensions, added `ts-node` for on-the-fly compilation
- workspaces _can_ define their own `build` and `clean` scripts (both should be required if either is used). these do not currently get run when running `npm run dev`, but they do occur on a bare `npm install` from the monorepo root or a `npm run reinstall`.
- `npm run rebuild` does a fresh rebuild, but does not clean any `node_modules` dirs nor does it reinstall anything.
- removed `prepublishOnly` since `preversion` does the same thing
- `npm test` now runs `build`/`lint` in parallel
- postinstall script of `appium` ("autoinstall") script now must call `npm run build` if in a fresh dev environment. this is because a) lifecycle scripts of packages run before lifecycle scripts in the monorepo root, and b) `postinstall` runs before `prepare`. so there's really no way around it; even using `ts-node` fails because other modules depend on `@appium/support/index.js` which expects the pkg to be built.
Closes#17746Closes#17807
Run `npm run typedoc` to generate docs in `typedoc-docs` dir.
I thought I'd take a few mins and set this up. It was _mostly_ straightforward, except:
1. Figuring out the "entry point" for each package was difficult until I realized `.js` entry points are assumed to be compiled, and thus require a `sourceMappingUrl` reference. IMO this is probably a bug in TypeDoc
2. The `sourceMappingUrl` must reference an external sourcemap file; not an inline source map. If it's an inline source map, the system tries to `fs.open` a large data-url.
3. The babel config does not control whether external sourcemaps are created; `@babel/cli` does. So I needed to change those.
4. Practically speaking, I don't see any drawback to external sourcemaps _yet_
5. TypeDoc has poor support for cross-package type references in monorepos, and I had to add a plugin which implements a workaround
6. Per some suggestions in the docs, I modified the order of references in the root `tsconfig.json` to start with "the biggest one first"
I didn't modify any types or docstrings anywhere.
When any package here is consumed as a library, the production deps installed alongside it _must_ also include depenencies related to type information. If these packages _aren't_ included, consumers will not have the requisite declarations installed and will get incomplete type information--at best--or worse; compilation errors.
Putting the onus on the consumer to install these requisite types is both user-hostile _and_ can result in the incorrect versions of type declarations being installed.
To that end, I've moved the various type declaration deps to production deps of the packages in which they are used. Sometimes this is multiple packages (in the case of, say, `@types/teen_process`). This results in many types being removed from the monorepo root. Those that remain are for _dev dependencies only_. If a packages uses, say, `ws`, but only in its tests, then the types can remain in the monorepo root along with the rest of the common dev deps.
I also saw an unused `supports-color` in `appium` and removed it.
This uses the [boneskull/nodejs-production-test-action](https://github.com/boneskull/nodejs-production-test-action) GH action to run a smoke test across all packages.
The action does the following:
1. Runs `npm pack` on each package, writing the tarball to a temp dir. This tarball contains the package as a user would `npm install` it.
2. Changes into the temp dir and runs `npm install <tarball>` on each
3. Runs a specified script (in our case, `test:smoke`) in each installed package's dir in `<tmp_dir>/node_modules`
Because `devDependencies` will not be present, this should avoid a class of issues where production deps are miscategorized as dev deps.
The action should probably use a separate temp dir for each--in the case of a dependency being present but only because some other package depends on it--but it's not smart enough to figure out peer dependencies yet.
