Cabin's goal is to be a static site generator that encourages designers and developers to make themes and share them with the open source community. We want to make it easy to create and install themes so that theme authors can focus on developing themes, and users can quickly get up and running with their static sites.
Cabin should be usable by everyone who knows how to edit markdown, templates, and css. At the same time, we want to provide support for Grunt power users and evolve with the Grunt ecosystem. As such, we plan on having a minimal default Gruntfile and providing options for power users to scaffold a more advanced Gruntfile.
The recomended way to develop Cabin is to run npm link in the repo folder to create a symbolic global reference to cabin. You can then work on bugs/features using the latest code that you author in the repo.
We provide a debug grunt task to debug Cabin using node-inspector. Once you have node-inspector launched in a separate terminal tab,
simply run grunt debug command and set breakpoints in your browser.
You also debug integration and unit tests using the grunt debug-test command or the grunt debug-test-dev command to ignore remote tests for faster debugging.
We use the mocha test framework to test Cabin. To run the test suite and lint the JavaScripts, enter the following command:
grunt test
There are integration tests located in this file which verify that the html files were created as expected, and unit tests in this file which verify the logic implemented in methods is working as expected.
The goal is to test any new features in the integration test file and test any changes to method logic in the unit test file.
