# Remix
|
|
|
|
Remix is a browser-based compiler and IDE that enables users to build **Ethereum contracts with Solidity language** and to debug transactions.
|
|
|
|
To try it out, visit [https://remix.ethereum.org](https://remix.ethereum.org).
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/ethereum/remix-ide/releases also gives others ways to use Remix locally. Please check it out.
|
|
|
|
Remix consists of many modules and in this repository you will find the Remix IDE (aka. Browser-Solidity).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Offline Usage
|
|
|
|
The `gh-pages` branch has always the latest stable build of Remix. It also contains a ZIP file with the entire build. Download it to use offline.
|
|
|
|
Note: it contains the latest release of Solidity available at the time of the packaging. No other compiler versions are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
Install **npm** and **node.js** (see https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node), then do:
|
|
|
|
Remix-ide has been published as an npm module:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install remix-ide -g
|
|
remix-ide
|
|
```
|
|
Or if you want to clone the github repository (`wget` need to be installed first) :
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/remix-ide.git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/remix.git # only if you plan to link remix and remix-ide repositories and develop on it.
|
|
|
|
cd remix # only if you plan to link remix and remix-ide repositories and develop on it.
|
|
npm install # only if you plan to link remix and remix-ide repositories and develop on it.
|
|
npm run bootstrap # only if you plan to link remix and remix-ide repositories and develop on it.
|
|
|
|
cd remix-ide
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run setupremix # only if you plan to link remix and remix-ide repositories and develop on it.
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## DEVELOPING:
|
|
|
|
Run `npm start` and open `http://127.0.0.1:8080` in your browser.
|
|
|
|
Then open your `text editor` and start developing.
|
|
The browser will automatically refresh when files are saved.
|
|
|
|
Most of the the time working with other modules (like debugger etc.) hosted in the [Remix repository](https://github.com/ethereum/remix) is not needed.
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting building
|
|
|
|
Some things to consider if you have trouble building the package:
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that you have the correct version of `node`, `npm` and `nvm`. You can find the version that is tested on Travis CI by looking at the log in the [build results](https://travis-ci.org/ethereum/remix-ide).
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node --version
|
|
npm --version
|
|
nvm --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- In Debian based OS such as Ubuntu 14.04LTS you may need to run `apt-get install build-essential`. After installing `build-essential` run `npm rebuild`.
|
|
|
|
## Unit Testing
|
|
|
|
Register new unit test files in `test/index.js`.
|
|
The tests are written using [tape](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tape).
|
|
|
|
Run the unit tests via: `npm test`
|
|
|
|
For local headless browser tests run `npm run test-browser`
|
|
(requires Selenium to be installed - can be done with `npm run selenium-install`)
|
|
|
|
Running unit tests via `npm test` requires at least node v7.0.0
|
|
|
|
## Browser Testing
|
|
|
|
To run the Selenium tests via Nightwatch:
|
|
|
|
- Build Remix IDE and serve it: `npm run build && npm run 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:
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_ballot
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_libraryDeployment
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_solidityImport
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_recorder
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_transactionExecution
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_staticAnalysis
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_signingMessage
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_console
|
|
|
|
- npm run nightwatch_local_remixd # remixd needs to be run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage as a Chrome Extension
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use this as a Chrome extension, you must either build it first or pull from the `gh-pages` branch, both described above.
|
|
After that, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- Browse to `chrome://extensions/`
|
|
- Make sure 'Developer mode' has been checked
|
|
- Click 'Load unpacked extension...' to pop up a file-selection dialog
|
|
- Select your `remix-ide` folder
|
|
