@metamask/phishing-warning

Phishing Warning Page

A page to warn users about a suspected phishing site. This is used as part of the MetaMask extension.

This package is published to npm so that we can host it locally when running end-to-end tests. This is not intended to be used as a library.

Contributing

Setup

• Install Node.js version 18
  • If you are using nvm (recommended) running nvm use will automatically choose the right node version for you.
• Install Yarn v3
• Run yarn install to install dependencies and run any required post-install scripts

Linting

Run yarn lint to run the linter, or run yarn lint:fix to run the linter and fix any automatically fixable issues.

Testing

Installing Playwright

Before running tests using Playright, you will need to install the required browsers using yarn playwright install [space-separated browsers]. Use the --with-deps flag as well to prompt Playwright to install OS dependencies as well if possible, though be warned that this may require elevated privileges.

The browsers we test with in CI are chrome, chromium, firefox, and msedge.

To install all browsers we use on CI and any OS dependencies, run:

yarn playwright install --with-deps chrome chromium firefox msedge

You may want to consider using just one or two browsers for local testing to speed things up. These install steps are long and require a decent amount of disk space.

Running tests

Tests can be run using yarn test. This will run all tests using all browsers.

To run with just a single browser, you'll need to use the flag --project=[browser name]. For example, yarn test --project=chromium to run all tests with Chromium. See the Playwright configuration (playwright.config.ts) to see the other project names.

If you want to run a single test suite, pass in the test filename as a parameter. For example, yarn test ./tests/defaults.spec.ts will run just the "defaults" test suite.

Release & Publishing

The project follows the same release process as the other libraries in the MetaMask organization. The GitHub Actions action-create-release-pr and action-publish-release are used to automate the release process; see those repositories for more information about how they work.

1. Choose a release version.

   • The release version should be chosen according to SemVer. Analyze the changes to see whether they include any breaking changes, new features, or deprecations, then choose the appropriate SemVer version. See the SemVer specification for more information.

2. If this release is backporting changes onto a previous release, then ensure there is a major version branch for that version (e.g. 1.x for a v1 backport release).

   • The major version branch should be set to the most recent release with that major version. For example, when backporting a v1.0.2 release, you'd want to ensure there was a 1.x branch that was set to the v1.0.1 tag.

3. Trigger the workflow_dispatch event manually for the Create Release Pull Request action to create the release PR.

   • For a backport release, the base branch should be the major version branch that you ensured existed in step 2. For a normal release, the base branch should be the main branch for that repository (which should be the default value).
   • This should trigger the action-create-release-pr workflow to create the release PR.

4. Update the changelog to move each change entry into the appropriate change category (See here for the full list of change categories, and the correct ordering), and edit them to be more easily understood by users of the package.

   • Generally any changes that don't affect consumers of the package (e.g. lockfile changes or development environment changes) are omitted. Exceptions may be made for changes that might be of interest despite not having an effect upon the published package (e.g. major test improvements, security improvements, improved documentation, etc.).
   • Try to explain each change in terms that users of the package would understand (e.g. avoid referencing internal variables/concepts).
   • Consolidate related changes into one change entry if it makes it easier to explain.
   • Run yarn auto-changelog validate --rc to check that the changelog is correctly formatted.

5. Review and QA the release.

   • If changes are made to the base branch, the release branch will need to be updated with these changes and review/QA will need to restart again. As such, it's probably best to avoid merging other PRs into the base branch while review is underway.

6. Squash & Merge the release.

   • This should trigger the action-publish-release workflow to tag the final release commit and publish the release on GitHub.

7. Publish the release on npm.

   • Be very careful to use a clean local environment to publish the release, and follow exactly the same steps used during CI.
   • Use npm publish --dry-run to examine the release contents to ensure the correct files are included. Compare to previous releases if necessary (e.g. using https://unpkg.com/browse/[package name]@[package version]/).
   • Once you are confident the release contents are correct, publish the release using npm publish.
