CodeRabbit Local Dev Loop

Overview

Set up a fast, reproducible local development workflow for CodeRabbit.

Prerequisites

  • Completed coderabbit-install-auth setup
  • Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm
  • Code editor with TypeScript support
  • Git for version control

Instructions

Step 1: Create Project Structure

my-coderabbit-project/
├── src/
│   ├── coderabbit/
│   │   ├── client.ts       # CodeRabbit client wrapper
│   │   ├── config.ts       # Configuration management
│   │   └── utils.ts        # Helper functions
│   └── index.ts
├── tests/
│   └── coderabbit.test.ts
├── .env.local              # Local secrets (git-ignored)
├── .env.example            # Template for team
└── package.json

Step 2: Configure Environment

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env.local

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

Step 3: Setup Hot Reload

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "tsx watch src/index.ts",
    "test": "vitest",
    "test:watch": "vitest --watch"
  }
}

Step 4: Configure Testing

import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { CodeRabbitClient } from '../src/coderabbit/client';

describe('CodeRabbit Client', () => {
  it('should initialize with API key', () => {
    const client = new CodeRabbitClient({ apiKey: 'test-key' });
    expect(client).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Output

  • Working development environment with hot reload
  • Configured test suite with mocking
  • Environment variable management
  • Fast iteration cycle for CodeRabbit development

Error Handling

Test timeoutSlow networkIncrease test timeout

Examples

Mock CodeRabbit Responses

vi.mock('@coderabbit/sdk', () => ({
  CodeRabbitClient: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
    // Mock methods here
  })),
}));

Debug Mode

# Enable verbose logging
DEBUG=CODERABBIT=* npm run dev
