This requires server code.

1. Checkout dependencies in the directory above browser-ext:

    git clone git@github.com:mitro-co/mitro-core.git
   

2. Symlink mitro-core to browser-ext/api/server:

    ln -s ../../mitro-core/ browser-ext/api/server
   

3. Run regression tests:

    cd api/js/cli && ./runtests.sh
   

Notes

We can't use symlinks to edit files in place because Chrome does not load symlinked resources:
