Ensure that you have the following dependencies:

1. Node.js
2. npm package manager
3. collab

Navigate to the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-backend folder, and type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm install
$ npm start

Open another command line and navigate to the root directory of collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder. Type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

• Add /client/constants/secret.js file with export const DEV_KEY = "12341234"; to be consistant with the backend key;

Note 1: Use npm run dev:vm instead of npm run dev if you are developing while using a virtual machine environment like Vagrant.

Note 2: You need to have the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-backend running in a command prompt, and collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend running in another command prompt.

If there are no errors, your Collab Dashboard set up should now be complete and you can view the project at localhost:3000.

If you are using Windows but developing on Vagrant and see the following error while using npm install on the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder:

$ npm ERR! path ../acorn/bin/acorn
$ npm ERR! code EPROTO
$ npm ERR! errno -71
$ npm ERR! syscall symlink

Try typing npm install --no-bin-links in the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder and this should solve the problem. Run npm run dev:vm to view the project at localhost:3000.

If you type npm run dev:vm and get the following error:

events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn webpack-dev-server ENOENT

Try the following steps:

$ rm -rf node_modules
$ rm package-lock.json
$ npm cache clear --force
$ sudo npm install --no-optional --no-bin-links

Run npm run dev:vm again to view the project at localhost:3000.

If it still cannot be run, remove and node_modules and package-lock.json file and re-install the project natively on your computer in the same folder as collab-tools where your vagrant file is located by typing npm install in the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder. Once the project has been successfully installed natively in your computer, type the following commands in the collab-tools folder:

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /vagrant/collab-dashboard-frontend
$ npm run dev:vm

The project should be viewable at localhost:3000.

During development, navigate to the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-backend folder, and type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm start

Open another command line and navigate to the root directory of collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder. Type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm run dev

Note 1: Use npm run dev:vm instead of npm run dev if you are developing while using a virtual machine environment like Vagrant.

Note 2: You need to have the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-backend running in a command prompt, and collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend running in another command prompt.

Your setup should be running and you can view the project at localhost:3000.

Navigate to the root directory of collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder. Type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm run build

This will generate static files to the /static/ directory of collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend.

Navigate to the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder, and type the following commands on the command line:

$ npm test

This will run Enzyme/Mocha/Chai tests in the /tests/ folder.

Keep both collab-tools/collab-dashboard-backend and collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend running by typing npm start and npm run dev (or npm run dev:vm if you are using Vagrant) in their respective command prompts.

Ensure that that you installed Nightwatch and Java globally beforehand by typing the following command on the command line:

$ npm install nightwatch -g

If you are running on vagrant, type the following command:

$ java -version
$ sudo npm install nightwatch -g

Open another command prompt, and navigate to the collab-tools/collab-dashboard-frontend folder, and type the following commands on the command line:

$ nightwatch

Note 3: You should have a total of three command prompts running, one command prompt to start the backend server for collab-tool/collab-dashboard-backend, another command prompt to start the frontend app for collab-tool/collab-dashboard-frontend and the last command prompt to run nightwatch in collab-tool/collab-dashboard-frontend.

You should see a Chrome page automatically opening and running the tests which are in the /nightwatch/tests folder. The results will be stored in the /nightwatch/reports folder.
