Contributing / Testing / Building Snack
Submodules (selector engines)
Because Snack ships with several selector engines, there are submodules for each one. You'll need to first update them to build or test Snack:
From the root of the repository:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Tests
The tests require node >= 0.4.6, npm >= 1.0.0, and submodules to be updated (see above).
To run the tests, install dependencies and fire up the server (used for all the ajax stuff).
$ npm install .
$ node server.js
Building
Build snack like so:
$ ./build
The tests do not require you to build snack.
