BBB-HTML5-Client

Development

Setting up the environment

1. Install Node.js

Here's a quick how-to for installing it from source code (replace X.X.X by the required node version that you can find on package.json):

wget http://nodejs.org/dist/vX.X.X/node-vX.X.X.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-vX.X.X.tar.gz
cd node-vX.X.X/
./configure
make
sudo make install

2. Install node dependencies

cd bbb-html5-client
npm install

3. Clean Redis database

redis-cli flushdb

4. Do a clean restart of BigBlueButton

bbb-conf --clean

5. Run the BBB server

cd bbb-html5-client
node app.js

Generating the documentation

This application uses codo to generate HTML pages with the documentation for the HTML5 client and server. This documentation is targeted for developers.

To generate the documentation pages, use:

cake docs

The files will be output to the folder docs/.

Testing

Run:

cake test

To run tests for a single file:

cake -f test/lib/modules-test.coffee test

To stop immediately in case a test fails:

cake -b test
