Description

Testing PRs against test-site is pretty straightforward, however, the current "test someone's PR against an app" method is:

  • Pull down PR branch
  • Pack frontend-base
  • Install newly packed frontend-base in the app you're testing it against

It might be cool to be able to grab a .tgz from a PR to save a couple steps and just:

  • Download .tgz from CI run
  • Install/test against app

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the repository's CI configuration and package-building entry point, then determine how a pull-request run could expose the packed frontend-base archive. Done means a PR CI run produces a downloadable .tgz that can be installed and tested in an app.
