Build instructions

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-echo-show.git

2. Import the project into Android Studio or build on the command line:

./gradlew clean app:assembleAmazonWebviewDebug

3. Make sure to select the right build variant in Android Studio: amazonWebviewDebug

Running

You can run from Android Studio or adb.

For recommendations on which devices and emulators to run on, see device reference.

Testing

To run a reasonable subset of the unit tests, we recommend:

./gradlew testAmazonWebViewDebug

To generate code coverage reports, run:

./gradlew -Pcoverage jacocoAmazonWebViewDebugTestReport

Reports can be found at app/build/jacoco/jacoco<buildVariant>TestReport/html/index.html

Pre-push hooks

Since we don't have CI, if you're pushing code, please add a pre-push hook. To use the recommended hook, run this command from the project root:

ln -s ../../quality/pre-push-recommended.sh .git/hooks/pre-push

To push without running the pre-push hook (e.g. doc updates):

git push <remote> --no-verify

Signing release builds

To build and sign a release build with our production keys using Autograph, run:

./tools/sign_release.sh

If you're not creating a release but want to create a release build for local testing, you can append --test to ignore some release checks.

See that script's source for further usage.
