Self-hosted LiveSync is an Obsidian plugin for synchronising vaults across devices using CouchDB, MinIO/S3, or peer-to-peer WebRTC. The codebase uses a modular architecture with TypeScript, Svelte, and PouchDB.
## Build & Development Workflow
### Environment Setup
#### First-time Setup
This repository uses submodules by convention. Therefore, you must use the `--recursive` flag when cloning it.
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync
npm ci
npm run build
```
Note: if you already cloned without submodules, run: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
#### Branch switching
When switching branches, please make sure to update submodules as well, since they may be updated in the new branch.
```bash
git checkout --recurse-submodules 0.25.70-patch1 # tag or branch name
npm ci
npm run build
```
### Commands
```bash
npm run test:unit # Run unit tests with vitest (or `npm run test:unit:coverage` for coverage)
npm run check # TypeScript and svelte type checking
npm run dev # Development build with auto-rebuild (uses .env for test vault paths)
npm run build # Production build
npm run buildDev # Development build (one-time)
npm run bakei18n # Pre-build step: compile i18n resources (YAML → JSON → TS)
npm run test:unit # Run unit tests only (no Docker services required)
npm test # Run Harness based vitest tests (requires Docker services), not recommended, unstable.
```
### Tips
We can use CLI's E2E test command instead of `npm test`.
### Auto-copy to test vaults
To facilitate development and testing, the build process can automatically copy the built plugin to specified test vault
- Create `.env` file with `PATHS_TEST_INSTALL` pointing to test vault plug-in directories (`:` separated on Unix, `;` on Windows)
- Development builds auto-copy to these paths on build whilst `npm run dev` is running (watch mode)
### Testing Infrastructure
- ~~**Deno Tests**: Unit tests for platform-independent code (e.g., `HashManager.test.ts`)~~
- This is now obsolete, migrated to vitest.
- **Vitest** (`vitest.config.ts`): E2E test by Browser-based-harness using Playwright, unit tests.
- Unit tests should be `*.unit.spec.ts` and placed alongside the implementation file (e.g., `ChunkFetcher.unit.spec.ts`).
- **Docker Services**: Tests require CouchDB, MinIO (S3), and P2P services:
```bash
npm run test:docker-all:start # Start all test services
npm run test:full # Run tests with coverage
npm run test:docker-all:stop # Stop services
```
If some services are not needed, start only required ones (e.g., `test:docker-couchdb:start`)
Note that if services are already running, starting script will fail. Please stop them first.
- **Test Structure**:
- `test/suite/` - Integration tests for sync operations
- `test/unit/` - Unit tests (via vitest, as harness is browser-based)
- `test/harness/` - Mock implementations (e.g., `obsidian-mock.ts`)

### Module System

- **Development code**: Use `.dev.ts` suffix (replaced with `.prod.ts` in production)
- **Path aliases**: `@/*` maps to `src/*`, `@lib/*` maps to `src/lib/src/*`

### Environment Setup
- Clone with submodules: `git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>`
- If you already cloned without them, run: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
- The shared common library is provided by the `src/lib` submodule, and builds will fail if it is missing
- Create `.env` file with `PATHS_TEST_INSTALL` pointing to test vault plug-in directories (`:` separated on Unix, `;` on Windows)

## Beta Policy
- Beta versions are denoted by appending `+patchedN` to the base version number.
- Beta versions are denoted by appending `-patchedN` to the base version number.
- `The base version` mostly corresponds to the stable release version.
- e.g., v0.25.41+patched1 is equivalent to v0.25.42-beta1.
- e.g., v0.25.41-patched1 is equivalent to v0.25.42-beta1.
- This notation is due to SemVer incompatibility of Obsidian's plugin system.
- Hence, this release is `0.25.41+patched1`.
- Hence, this release is `0.25.41-patched1`.
- Each beta version may include larger changes, but bug fixes will often not be included.
- I think that in most cases, bug fixes will cause the stable releases.
- They will not be released per branch or backported; they will simply be released.
- Bug fixes for previous versions will be applied to the latest beta version.
This means, if xx.yy.02+patched1 exists and there is a defect in xx.yy.01, a fix is applied to xx.yy.02+patched1 and yields xx.yy.02+patched2.
If the fix is required immediately, it is released as xx.yy.02 (with xx.yy.01+patched1).
This means, if xx.yy.02-patched1 exists and there is a defect in xx.yy.01, a fix is applied to xx.yy.02-patched1 and yields xx.yy.02-patched2.
If the fix is required immediately, it is released as xx.yy.02 (with xx.yy.01-patched1).
- This procedure remains unchanged from the current one.
- At the very least, I am using the latest beta.
- However, I will not be using a beta continuously for a week after it has been released. It is probably closer to an RC in nature.
