Running unit tests via `nx test` requires at least node v10.0.0
For example, to run unit tests of `remix-analyzer`, use `nx test remix-analyzer`
## Browser Testing
To run the Selenium tests via Nightwatch:
- Build Remix IDE and serve it: `nx build remix-ide --with-deps && nx serve` # starts web server at localhost:8080
- Make sure Selenium is installed `npm run selenium-install` # don't need to repeat
- Run a selenium server `npm run selenium`
- Run all the tests `npm run nightwatch_local_firefox` or `npm run nightwatch_local_chrome`
- Or run a specific test case:
- Install Selenium for first time: `npm run selenium-install`
- Run a selenium server: `npm run selenium`
- Build & Serve Remix: `nx serve`
- Run all the end-to-end tests:
for Firefox: `npm run nightwatch_local_firefox`, or
for Google Chrome: `npm run nightwatch_local_chrome`
- Run a specific test case instead, use one of following commands:
- npm run nightwatch_local_ballot
