Fabric8 Work Item Tracker

Work Items describe and keep track of work that needs to be done. A user can be assigned to a Work Item. Each Work Item must be attached to a Collaboration Space and an Area (assigned by default). This can be used to model bugs, tasks, features, ideas, and more.

1. Building from source

The following guide is mainly targeted towards a Linux or Mac OSX development machine. If you are on Windows, we recommend to take a look at Getting started with fabric8-wit development on Windows.

1.1. Prerequisites

You need to install:

• go (>= v1.8)

• git

• mercurial

• make

1.1.1. Check your Go version

Run the following command to find out your Go version.

$ go version

You must at least have Go version 1.8.

See Fetch dependencies to see an explanaition on how we deal with dependencies.

1.1.2. Install glide

This project uses glide as a package manager for Go.

To install glide, go to the release page and download the newest binary for your operating system.

Unpack the archive that you’ve downloaded and place the glide executable somewhere so that it is in your PATH.

To check if everything is working, type glide --version in a terminal.

$ glide --version
glide version v0.11.0

Try to use at least version 0.11.0 as we haven’t tested another version.

1.2. Get the code

Assuming you have Go installed and configured (have $GOPATH setup and pointing to a single directory) here is how to build.

Check out the code

$ git clone https://github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit

1.3. Build

Like most other projects, this one depends on various other projects that need to be downloaded.

We also generate some code from design files that shall make it into our final artifacts.

To fetch the dependencies, generate code and finally build the project you can type make in a freshly clone repository of this project.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make

1.3.1. Special make targets

There is no need to fetch the dependencies, or re-generate code every time you want to compile. That’s why we offer special make targets for these topics:

• Fetch dependencies

• Generate GOA sources

• Build

• Clean

• Tests

• Coverage

Fetch dependencies

This will download all the dependencies for this project inside a directory called vendor. This way we can ensure that every developer and our CI system is using the same version.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make deps

For dependency management of go packages we use glide. The file glide.yaml contains all dependencies. It is not suggested that you edit the file by hand but if you want to understand the format for this file, look here.

Generate GOA sources

You need to run this command if you just checked out the code and later if you’ve modified the designs.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make generate

Build

If you want to just build the ALM server and client, run make build.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make build

Clean

This removes all downloaded dependencies, all generated code and compiled artifacts.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make clean

Tests

Here’s how to run all available tests. All tests will check all Go packages except those in the vendor/ directory. Make sure you have docker and docker-compose available.

Setting up test environment - make integration-test-env-prepare

Tear test environment down - make integration-test-env-tear-down

unit-tests	Unit tests have the minimum requirement on time and environment setup. $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit $ make test-unit
integration-tests	Integration tests demand more setup (i.e. the PostgreSQL DB must be already running) and probably time. We recommend that you use docker-compose up -d db. $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit $ make test-integration
all	To run both, the unit and the integration tests you can run $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit $ make test-all

Coverage

To visualize the coverage of unit, integration, or all tests you can run these commands:

• $ make coverage-unit

• $ make coverage-integration

• $ make coverage-all

Note	If the tests (see Tests) have not yet run, or if the sources have changed since the last time the tests ran, they will be re-run to produce up to date coverage profiles.

Each of the above tests (see Tests) produces a coverage profile by default. Those coverage files are available under

tmp/coverage/<package>/coverage.<test>.mode-<mode>

Here’s how the <placeholders> expand

<package>	something like github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit/models
<test>	unit or integration
<mode>	Sets the mode for coverage analysis for the packages being tested. Possible values for <mode> are set (the default), count, or atomic and they directly relate to the output of go test --help. set: bool: does this statement run? count: int: how many times does this statement run? atomic: int: count, but correct in multithreaded tests; significantly more expensive.

In addition to all individual coverage information for each package, we also create three more files:

tmp/coverage.unit.mode-<mode>	This file collects all the coverage profiles for all unit tests.
tmp/coverage.integration.mode-<mode>	This file collects all the coverage profiles for all integration tests.
tmp/coverage.mode-<mode>	This file is the merge result of the two afore mentioned files and thus gives coverage information for all tests.

2. Build through minishift

There is a separate documentation for building WIT using minishift

3. Configuration file

If no configuration file is specified when the core is started, these are the defaults.

config.yaml

# ----------------------------
# Github OAuth2 configuration
# ----------------------------

github.client.id : 875da0d2113ba0a6951d
github.secret : 2fe6736e90a9283036a37059d75ac0c82f4f5288

Although this is a YAML file, we highly suggest to stick to this rather lenghty notation instead of nesting structs.

To override configuration values using environment variables, use the prefix F8_ and replace the dots in the variables names with underscores.

For example to override postgres.password, set the environment variable F8_POSTGRES_PASSWORD to the value of you liking.

Note	config.yaml is not processed by default. In order to use it, the following environment variable must be set export F8_CONFIG_FILE_PATH="config.yaml"

Note	Environment variables override the default values and the ones you’ve set in your config file.

3.1. Development

Only files ./*.go, ./design/*.go, ./models/*.go and ./tool/wit-cli/main.go should be edited.

These files and directory are generated:

• ./app/

• ./assets/js/

• ./client/

• ./swagger/

• ./tool/cli/

• ./bindata_asstfs.go

4. Developer setup

Start up dependent docker services using docker-compose and runs auto reload on source change tool fresh.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabric8-services/fabric8-wit
$ make dev

The above steps start the API Server on port 8080.

Test out the build by executing CLI commands in a different terminal.

Note	The CLI needs the API Server which was started on executing make dev to be up and running. Please do not kill the process. Alternatively if you haven’t run make dev you could just start the server by running ./bin/alm.

Generate a token for future use.

./bin/wit-cli generate login -H localhost:8080 --pp

You should get Token in response, save this token in your favourite editor as you need to use this token for POST API calls

Create a work item type (using above token).

./bin/wit-cli create workitemtype --key "<GENERATED TOKEN>" --payload '{"fields":{"system.owner":{"Type":{"Kind":"user"},"Required":true},"system.state":{"Type":{"Kind":"string"},"Required":false}},"name":"Epic"}' -H localhost:8080 --pp

Note: Work Item Type Name is unique. If one tries to create another work item type with same name, error will be trown.

Retrieve the work item type.

$ ./bin/wit-cli show workitemtype --name "Epic" -H localhost:8080

List all available work item types.

$ ./bin/wit-cli list workitemtype -H localhost:8080 --pp

Create a work item.

Based on WorkItemType created above, we can create WorkItem. We need to use name of work item type in the type field below.

$ ./bin/wit-cli create workitem --key "<GENERATED TOKEN>" --payload '{"type": "Epic", "fields": { "system.owner": "tmaeder", "system.state": "open" }}' -H localhost:8080

Retrieve the work item.

$ ./bin/wit-cli show workitem --id 1 -H localhost:8080 --pp

4.1. Reset Database

The database are kept in a docker container that gets reused between restarts. Thus restarts will not clear out the database.

To clear out the database kill the database like this:

$ docker kill fabric8wit_db_1 && docker rm fabric8wit_db_1

In case you have mulitple fabric8* running use docker ps to locate the container name.

5. Debugging

System defined Work Item Types are

• userstory

• valueproposition

• fundamental

• experience

• feature

• bug

Use any one of above to create Work Item based on that type. Following example creates a Work Item of type userstory

$ ./bin/wit-cli create workitem --key "<GENERATED TOKEN>" --payload '{ "data": { "attributes": { "system.owner": "tmaeder", "system.state": "open", "system.title": "Example of an Epic", "version": "1" }, "relationships": { "baseType": { "data": { "id": "Epic", "type": "workitemtypes" } } }, "type": "workitems" } }' -H localhost:8080

In response you should get ID of created item, using that you can retrieve the work item.

$ ./bin/wit-cli show workitem --id <ID> -H localhost:8080 --pp

6. Swagger API

A browsable documentation for our API is available with goa Swagger Generator. It reflects the latest state of the master branch.

7. Prod preview setup

In order to setup wit to work against prod preview the following environment variables must be set:

• export F8_DEVELOPER_MODE_ENABLED=1

• export F8_OPENSHIFT_TENANT_MASTERURL="https://console.free-stg.openshift.com/"

• export F8_KEYCLOAK_REALM="fabric8"

• export F8_CONFIG_FILE_PATH="config.yaml"

Also, F8_TENANT_SERVICEURL env var must be set and point to the prod-preview fabric8-tenant endpoint. However, there is no publicly available route for it and one should oc login to the prod-preview OpenShift Dedicated cluster and use port forwarding for fabric8-tenant pod:

$ oc port-forward <f8tenant-pod> <local-port>:8080

• export F8_TENANT_SERVICEURL="http://localhost:<local-port>/"

8. che-starter setup

che-starter endpoint can be configure via the following environment variable:

• export F8_CHESTARTERURL="http://localhost:10000/"
