Troubleshooting

unit tests

When running e2e tests, there is occasionally a mystery error that won't go away, even if you got back to previous commits were unit tests were running. It goes away with a restart, git clean -dxf && yarn && yarn test. Make sure everything is committed first!

If you see something like TypeError: beforeAll is not a function, that is caused by explicitly defining of the jest functions, as in const { describe, it, beforeEach, afterEach } = require("jest"); Just remove that.

l10n

When running lameta, if you see this in the Chrome debug console:

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module './en/messages.js'

then you need to do yarn lingui-compile.
