Developing

After cloning the repo

• Run npm install to install dependencies
• Run npm run build to build the CLI. This will need to be re-run any time you make changes and want to test them locally.

To execute Heroku CLI commands locally, use ./bin/run <command>. For example, to run the heroku apps command with your local code, run ./bin/run apps from the root directory.

Testing

Run all tests with npm test.

Debugging

Using WebStorm (from JetBrains / IntelliJ), you can run/debug an individual test case.

• Create a new run/debug configuration
• Select the 'Mocha' type
