Package Testing Status

Though NeoDLP is supported on most platforms but not all packages are tested on all platforms, to save some time (and brain cells) and ship the software as fast as possible! Current test coverage is given below. So, untested packages may have issues, test it yourself and always feel free to report any issue on github.

[!TIP] If you have access to any of the untested systems listed below, you can test the packages there and send me the test results via creating an github issue! (that would be super helpful actualy 😊)

Building from Source

Want to build/compile NeoDLP from the source code? Follow these simple steps to create a production build:

• Make sure to install Rust, Node.js, and Git before proceeding.
• Install Tauri Prerequisites for your OS / platform

1. Clone this repo in your local machine: git clone https://github.com/neosubhamoy/neodlp.git
2. Go inside the cloned project directory: cd neodlp
3. Install Node.js dependencies: npm install
4. Download required external binaries (for your platform): npm run download
5. Run build process (run the command based on your platform and architecture)

# commands for windows users
npm run tauri:build:windows-x64     # for x64 devices
npm run tauri:build:windows-arm64   # for ARM64 devices

# commands for linux users
npm run tauri:build:linux-x64       # for x64 devices
npm run tauri:build:linux-arm64     # for ARM64 devices

# commands for macOS users
npm run tauri:build:macos-arm64     # for apple silicon macs
npm run tauri:build:macos-x64       # for intel x86 macs

6. Give it the time to compile (~10-15min). After completion, You can find the compiled packages under: src-tauri/target/release/bundle directory.

Running Tests

npm run test                        # run all tests (frontend + backend)
npm run test:front                  # frontend only (Vitest)
npm run test:back                   # backend only (Rust)

The Rust tests compile the whole app, so the Tauri Prerequisites are required. See the contributing guidelines for more about writing and running tests.
