install public interface

To work on this project as a developer, you will actually need to get python, node, and ruby environments on your development host.

requirements to build

• node http://nodejs.org (v10.8) and node's package manager https://npmjs.org
• requires python environment with pip or virtualenv set up

what is happening here?

The root directory of this repository is both the root of a django applicaiton and a Yeoman scaffold yo webapp created back when grunt was the default task runner.

configuration

Based on the advice here here: http://12factor.net/config all configuration is set in environmental variables.

See env.conf.in as a tempalte file for setting environmental variables during development. env.conf is listed in .gitignore -- so if you use that filename for your local conf, it won't get checked into git. Before you start the server, you will need to

. env.conf

If you are working with CDL on developing a feature, contact [email protected] for the values to use in the configuration.

install python / django

python installation left as an exercise to the reader

# sudo easy_install virtualenv
virtualenv-2.7 py36 -p python3.6
. py36/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/ucldc/exhibitapp.git
cd exhibitapp
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ../public_interface
ln -s ../exhibitapp/exhibits/

python manage.py migrate

and run the test server

python manage.py runserver

The Calisphere public interface should be running on http://localhost:8000

install npm / gulp

if you need to work on the HTML/CSS/JS then you will want to run gulp to assemble these components.

brew install npm
npm install -g gulp-cli
npm install

gulp serve

An html/design reference site will be running on http://localhost:9000/

windows install

[note, use case for windows users is for QA of candiate producton indexes, not code hacking]

http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html <-- python 2.7

http://git-scm.com/download/win

save run.bat

initial setup

only do this once

conda create -n myenv python
activate myenv
git clone https://github.com/ucldc/public_interface.git
cd public_interface
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/ucldc/exhibitapp.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ../public_interface
ln -s ../exhibitapp/exhibits/

edit run.bat in notepad, as per below

run.bat

run again

activate myenv
cd public_interface

if you need to update the code

git pull origin master

run the local server on http://localhost:8000/

run.bat

run.bat:

set UCLDC_THUMBNAIL_URL=...
set UCLDC_STATIC_URL=...
set UCLDC_SOLR_URL=...
set UCLDC_SOLR_API_KEY=...
set UCLDC_DEBUG=1
set UCLDC_IMAGES=...
set UCLDC_MEDIA=...
set UCLDC_IIIF=...
python manage.py runserver

Deploy to Amazon Web Services Elastic Beanstalk

Run within an authorized shell (on an EC2 instance with IAM permissions)

deploy-version.sh

will show the running environments and the last few version names. Then run

deploy-version.sh version-label environment-name

Generate Static Sitemaps

To generate or update sitemaps, first make sure that "UCLDC_FRONT" has been defined in your env.local file. For example:

UCLDC_FRONT="https://calisphere.org/"

Also make sure that the domain is set correctly using the django "sites" framework

Then, run:

python manage.py calisphere_refresh_sitemaps

For more verbose output, use the -v option (1-3, with 3 being the most verbose).

This will generate sitemap files and write them to the sitemaps directory in the root of the Django instance.

The sitemap.xml index file will be served statically by Django at the UCLDC_FRONT URL, i.e. https://calisphere.org/sitemap.xml

Right now, each sitemap-items-*.xml file contains 50,000 urls and is under 10MB uncompressed, which is the google limit. Some are over 9MB in size though, so if we add more metadata in the future, we might need to reduce the number of urls per file.

Testing via Backstop.js

For now, make sure to install backstop globally, add to your PATH, or modify the commands below to include the path (node_modules/.bin/backstop), then run:

Testing production vs. calisphere-test

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-test-ui.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-test-ui.js

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-test-app.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-test-app.js

Testing production vs. localhost:9000 for the UI library and vs. 127.0.0.1:8000 for the app (must gulp serve and python manage.py runserver before running these tests)

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-local-ui.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-local-ui.js

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/test-vs-local-ui.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/test-vs-local-ui.js

Testing calisphere-test vs. localhost:9000 for the UI library and vs. 127.0.0.1:8000 for the app (must gulp serve and python manage.py runserver before running these tests)

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-local-app.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/prod-vs-local-app.js

backstop reference --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/test-vs-local-app.js
backstop test --config backstop_data/backstop_tests/test-vs-local-app.js

Hope to incorporate into build tools at some point in the future.
