## Development
### Running Locally
#### Via WebExtensions API (web-ext)
1. Fetch the locales updating the git-submodules: `git submodule init && git submodule update --remote --depth 1 src/_locales`
2. Install the [web-ext](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Getting_started_with_web-ext) tool.
3. Run `web-ext run -s src/`. This launches Firefox and installs the extension automatically.
This tool provides some additional development features, such as [automatic reloading](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Getting_started_with_web-ext#Automatic_extension_reloading).
#### Via about:debugging in Firefox
1. Fetch the locales updating the git-submodules: `git submodule init && git submodule update --remote --depth 1 src/_locales`
2. Open the `about:debugging` page in Firefox.
3. Click on `This Firefox`.
4. Click on [Load Temporary Add-on](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox).
5. Select `src/manifest.json`.
Here is a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cer9EUKegG4) that demonstrates how to do this.
### Testing
* Install dependencies:
```
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
```
* Run all tests:
```
npm run test
```
* Only run the linter:
```
npm run lint
```
There is a timeout test that sometimes fails on certain machines, so make sure to run the tests on your clone before you make any changes to see if you have this problem.
#### Add/update messages for translation
The `src/_locales` directory is a git repository like any other, so to make changes to the messages:
1. Make whatever changes you need in `src/_locales/en` as you work.
2. `cd src/_locales/en`
3. `git branch message-updates-yyyymmdd`
4. `git push -u origin message-updates-yyyymmdd`
You can then open a pull request from the `message-updates-yyyymmdd` branch to
[the l10n repo](https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/multi-account-containers-l10n/) `main` branch.
### Distributing
#### Make the new version
1. Bump the version number in `package.json` and `manifest.json`
2. Commit the version number bump
3. Create a git tag for the version: `git tag <version>`
4. Push the tag up to GitHub: `git push --tags`
#### Publish to AMO
1. `./bin/build-addon.sh`
2. [Upload the `.zip` to AMO](https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/multi-account-containers/versions/submit/)
