GitPod
Head over to https://collaboraonline.github.io/post/build-code/ select gitpod from the dropdown and follow the steps.
Interesting things to keep in mind:
- Make sure your browser is not blocking windows/tabs from opening from the gitpod workspace URL (maybe add
*.gitpod.io
to your browser’s whitelist)
- The GitPod tasks will run automatically and further instructions will be printed out right in the terminal
- VNC tab will open automatically if not just click in the left icon
Remote explorer
and click 6080
. You will see a tab completly black, that’s normal.
- As mentioned in those instructions if you are not using the VS Code desktop and if you are only relying on your browser please:
- Do not try to click the URL from the make run out put instead copy that URL and execute
firefox [paste URL here]
- Head over to the tab where the VNC is opened (black page), you will see Firefox opening there, maximize and have fun.
- You can also run cypress tests via GitPod but you will need to use Firefox, for that just prepend
CYPRESS_BROWSER="firefox"
to the desired command. Example: CYPRESS_BROWSER="firefox" make check
for every test or CYPRESS_BROWSER="firefox" make check-desktop spec=impress/scrolling_spec.js
for one specific test on desktop
Enjoy!
