## Vercel



Vercel’s Frontend Cloud provides the developer experience and infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized Web.



## Deploy



Get started by [importing a project](https://vercel.com/new) or using the [Vercel CLI](https://vercel.com/docs/cli). Then, `git push` to deploy.



## Documentation



For details on how to use Vercel, check out our [documentation](https://vercel.com/docs).



## Contributing



This project uses [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) to install dependencies and run scripts.



You can use the `dev` script to run local changes as if you were invoking Vercel CLI. For example, `vercel deploy --cwd=/path/to/project` could be run with local changes with `pnpm dev deploy --cwd=/path/to/project`.



When contributing to this repository, please first discuss the change you wish to make via [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/vercel/vercel/discussions/new) with the owners of this repository before submitting a Pull Request.



Please read our [Code of Conduct](./.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and follow it in all your interactions with the project.



### Local development



This project is configured in a monorepo, where one repository contains multiple npm packages. Dependencies are installed and managed with `pnpm`, not `npm` CLI.



To get started, execute the following:



```

git clone https://github.com/vercel/vercel

cd vercel

corepack enable

pnpm install

pnpm build

pnpm lint

pnpm test-unit

```



Make sure all the tests pass before making changes.



#### Running Vercel CLI Changes



You can use `pnpm dev` from the `cli` package to invoke Vercel CLI with local changes:



```

cd ./packages/cli

pnpm dev 

```



See [CLI Local Development](../packages/cli#local-development) for more details.



### Verifying your change



Once you are done with your changes (we even suggest doing it along the way), make sure all the tests still pass by running:



```

pnpm test-unit

```



from the root of the project.



If any test fails, make sure to fix it along with your changes. See [Interpreting test errors](#Interpreting-test-errors) for more information about how the tests are executed, especially the integration tests.



### Pull Request Process



Once you are confident that your changes work properly, open a pull request on the main repository.



The pull request will be reviewed by the maintainers and the tests will be checked by our continuous integration platform.



### Interpreting test errors



There are 2 kinds of tests in this repository – Unit tests and Integration tests.



Unit tests are run locally with `jest` and execute quickly because they are testing the smallest units of code.



#### Integration tests



Integration tests create deployments to your Vercel account using the `test` project name. After each test is deployed, the `probes` key is used to check if the response is the expected value. If the value doesn't match, you'll see a message explaining the difference. If the deployment failed to build, you'll see a more generic message like the following:



```

[Error: Fetched page https://test-8ashcdlew.vercel.app/root.js does not contain hello Root!. Instead it contains An error occurred with this application.



    NO_STATUS_CODE_FRO Response headers:

       cache-control=s-maxage=0

      connection=close

      content-type=text/plain; charset=utf-8

      date=Wed, 19 Jun 2019 18:01:37 GMT

      server=now

      strict-transport-security=max-age=63072000

      transfer-encoding=chunked

      x-now-id=iad1:hgtzj-1560967297876-44ae12559f95

      x-now-trace=iad1]

```



In such cases, you can visit the URL of the failed deployment and append `/_logs` to see the build error. In the case above, that would be https://test-8ashcdlew.vercel.app/_logs



The logs of this deployment will contain the actual error which may help you to understand what went wrong.



##### Running integration tests locally



While running the full integration suite locally is not recommended, it's sometimes useful to isolate a failing test by running it on your machine. To do so, you'll need to ensure you have the appropriate credentials sourced in your shell:



1. Create an access token. Follow the insructions here https://vercel.com/docs/rest-api#creating-an-access-token. Ensure the token scope is for your personal

   account.

2. Grab the team ID from the Vercel dashboard at `https://vercel.com//~/settings`.

3. Source these into your shell rc file: `echo 'export VERCEL_TOKEN= VERCEL_TEAM_ID=' >> ~/.zshrc`



From there, you should be able to trigger an integration test. Choose one

that's already isolated to check that things work:



```

cd packages/next

```



Run the test:



```

pnpm test test/fixtures/00-server-build/index.test.js

```



#### @vercel/nft



Some of the Builders use `@vercel/nft` to tree-shake files before deployment. If you suspect an error with this tree-shaking mechanism, you can create the following script in your project:



```js

const { nodeFileTrace } = require('@vercel/nft');

nodeFileTrace(['path/to/entrypoint.js'], {

  ts: true,

  mixedModules: true,

})

  .then(o => console.log(o.fileList))

  .then(e => console.error(e));

```



When you run this script, you'll see all the imported files. If files are missing, the bug is in [@vercel/nft](https://github.com/vercel/nft) and not the Builder.



### Deploy a Builder with existing project



Sometimes you want to test changes to a Builder against an existing project, maybe with `vercel dev` or actual deployment. You can avoid publishing every Builder change to npm by uploading the Builder as a tarball.



1. Change directory to the desired Builder `cd ./packages/node`

2. Run `pnpm build` to compile typescript and other build steps

3. Run `npm pack` to create a tarball file

4. Run `vercel *.tgz` to upload the tarball file and get a URL

5. Edit any existing `vercel.json` project and replace `use` with the URL

6. Run `vercel` or `vercel dev` to deploy with the experimental Builder
