gh-notifications-snoozer

Lists and filters and snoozing pull requests, oh my! This is an app for managing your notifications on GitHub by way of filtering issues and pull requests that are of interest to you.

You must provide a GitHub personal access token once you start the app the first time. Create a token with the repo scope. When running the app, your token will be stored in Keychain in macOS, Gnome Keyring in Linux, and Credential Vault in Windows.

How to Develop

This was developed with npm version 3.10.3 and node version 6.3.1.

First-time Setup

In Linux, you may need to run

sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring-dev

first because this app uses gnome-keyring. Afterward, including for macOS and Windows:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/cheshire137/gh-notifications-snoozer
# Go into the repository
cd gh-notifications-snoozer
# Install dependencies
npm install

Every Time

If you are developing snoozer use npm run-script dev. This will use your Desktop as the storage location to make deving easier.

For everything else use npm start.

Troubleshooting

When I run npm start, I get "Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 49, got 48" in the JavaScript console.

Exit the app and try running:

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Then run npm start again and see if the app loads.

In Windows when I npm install, I get an error with node-gyp.

How to Run Tests

How you set the NODE_ENV environment variable to run npm test may be different depending on your operating system and shell.

npm install
NODE_ENV=test npm test

You can run just the style checker by itself with npm run style. You can run just the tests by themselves with NODE_ENV=test npm run unit-tests.
