If the local server opens in the wrong browser, make sure to copy the URL containing the local token.
Otherwise, the editor will not be able to load the projects.
If you need modify the `.cpp` files, turn on yotta compilation with the ``-yt`` flag (add ``sudo`` for Mac/Linux shells):
The server assumes you have yotta installed. You can skip that requirement by adding ``--cloud``.
```
pxt serve -yt

## Testing
## Developer setup
The build also automatically runs the following checks:
If you need to make source changes to ``pxt`` and ``pxt-microbit``, follow these instructions:
* make sure the built-in packages compile
* `pxt run` in `libs/lang-test*` - this will run the test in command line runner;
there is a number of asserts in both of these
* `pxt testdir` in `tests` - this makes sure all the files compile and generates .hex files
* run the TD->TS converter on a number of test scripts from `microbit.co.uk` and make sure the results compile
* clone https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt
```
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt
```
* checkout the ``v0`` branch in pxt
```
cd pxt
git checkout v0
```
* ``npm install`` and run ``jake``
```
npm install
jake
```
* clone https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-microbit
```
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-microbit
```
* ``npm install`` and link to the ``pxt`` folder
```
cd pxt-microbit
npm install
npm link ../pxt
```
To test something on the device:
* do a `pxt deploy` in `libs/lang-test*` - they should show `1` or `2` on the screen (and not unhappy face)
* run `pxt testdir` in `tests` and deploy some of the hex files from `tests/built`
The `lang-test0` source comes from the `pxt-core` package. It's also tested with `pxt run` there.
Both of those repoes are now ready to go. To start your local server, run
```
pxt serve
```
or, without yotta tools,
```
pxt serve --cloud
```
