Steps to run the code locally

1. Clone the Arbitrum token bridge repository from Github onto your local machine

   $ git clone https://github.com/OffchainLabs/arb-token-bridge

2. Use the Node version as per project settings to avoid any errors before project installation.

   $ nvm use

3. Install dependencies in all packages using yarn.

   $ yarn

4. Set env vars:

   1. Copy the existing env.local.sample file present.

      $ cp ./packages/arb-token-bridge-ui/.env.local.sample  ./packages/arb-token-bridge-ui/.env

   2. In .env created, add NEXT_PUBLIC_INFURA_KEY=my-infura-key

   3. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID to your WalletConnect project ID. You can create a new project on the WalletConnect dashboard.

   4. For custom urls, set optional vars:

   • NEXT_PUBLIC_ETHEREUM_RPC_URL=my-eth-node
   • NEXT_PUBLIC_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL=my-sepolia-node (see .env.sample) If no custom URL is provided, Infura will be used by default.

5. Build the project and internal packages

   $ yarn build

6. Finally, running the project

   1. (back in root dir:)

      $ yarn dev

   2. Visit http://localhost:3000/

Testing changes

It is important for any code change to pass both unit and end-to-end tests. This is generally done before raising the PR to ensure it doesn't break any existing feature.

Run Unit Tests

1. Run the token bridge UI locally on http://localhost:3000/
2. Run the tests

   $ yarn test:ci

Run End-to-End (E2E) Tests

1. Set up the Nitro test node

   1. First, make sure you have a Nitro test node running. Follow the instructions here.

   2. When the Nitro test-node is up and running you should see logs like sequencer_1 and staker-unsafe_1 in the terminal. This can take up to 10 minutes.

2. At the root of the token bridge UI:

   1. Run:

   $ cp ./packages/arb-token-bridge-ui/.e2e.env.sample ./packages/arb-token-bridge-ui/.e2e.env

   2. In the newly created file, .e2e.env, update your NEXT_PUBLIC_INFURA_KEY

3. Run the token bridge UI locally on http://localhost:3000/ with:

   $ yarn dev

4. Run e2e tests

   $ yarn test:e2e
