- For those themes that have them generate the distinct lookups with
mix distinct.generate transport.anonymised_mot_tests - Start server with MIX_ENV=dev mix phoenix.server`
To run tests, you need to make sure your manifests are not picked up by running
MANIFESTS=/tmp mix test Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
