Tapestry

h1. Development cycle

h2. Getting the code base

 git clone git://git.curoverse.com/tapestry.git

cd tapestry

git submodule init

git submodule update

h2. Running tests

Add these configs to your /etc/mysql/my.cnf, otherwise each "create table" will take ~0.5 seconds, and you'll wait ~3 minutes each time you run @rake test@ before the tests start running.

* <pre>

innodb_file_per_table = 0

innodb_stats_persistent = 0

</pre>

You can run tests in a docker container.

* Make sure @/etc/mysql/my.cnf@ has @bind-address = 0.0.0.0@ or whatever is suitable.

* Create a @tapestry@ user and a @tapestry_test@ database on your docker host (or somewhere else reachable from a docker container).

* <pre>create database tapestry_test;

grant all privileges on tapestry_test.* to tapestry identified by 'secretzzz';

</pre>

* Create @config/database.yml@ (see @config/database.yml.example@)

* @make docker-test@

h2. Writing and contributing code

Start a branch like username/master or username/rails3

 git branch example/rails3

git checkout example/rails3

Do something trivial like

* add app/views/pages/specimen_collection.html.erb

* add link to it in app/views/pages/home.html.erb

Commit it.  If you refer to the issue# in the comment, redmine will notice this and do smart things (e.g., link to the commit from the issue page).

 git add ...

git commit -m 'description of stuff (closes #123)'

Push it

 git push

Generate a pull request

 git request-pull e68ab19^ git@git.clinicalfuture.com:tapestry.git e68ab19

Send the pull request to someone like Ward

h2. Merging code from other contributors/branches

Fetch latest code in other developers branches

 git fetch

List remote branches

 git branch -a

Switch to the other branch

 git checkout origin/example/rails3

(git will complain about being in a detached head state, but that's fine - just don't commit to this state)

Now look around, test

 git log

Switch to production branch (set up with @git checkout --track origin/rails3@ if you haven't already) and make sure it's up-to-date

 git checkout rails3

git pull origin rails3

See what hasn't been merged

 git cherry -v rails3 origin/example/rails3

Cherry-pick a commit

 git cherry-pick e68ab19

Or merge the entire remote tree (this will fetch and merge but not yet commit)

 git merge --no-commit origin/tomc/rails3

When you're happy, 

 git commit

Or rewind

 git reset --hard rails3

Finally, push

 git push

h2. Deploying to my-dev

Basics

 sudo gem install capistrano

Make sure "ssh root@www-dev.sum" puts you in root@www-dev and that *you have an SSH agent available.*  You might need in @~/.ssh/config@:

 Host www-dev.sum

  HostName www-dev

Check out production branch

 git checkout rails3

Deploy to www-dev

 cap deploy

The capistrano task will run any required db migrations automatically. If you ever need to run them manually, you can do this (on www-dev):

 ssh root@www-dev.sum sh -c "'cd /var/www/my-dev.personalgenomes.org/current && RAILS_ENV=staging rake db:migrate'"

h2. Deploying to production server

Make sure "ssh root@www-prod.sum" puts you in root@www-prod and that you have a working SSH agent.

Check out production branch

 git checkout rails3

Deploy to www-prod

 cap deploy -f Capfile.production

The capistrano task will run any required db migrations automatically. If you ever need to run them manually, you can do this (on www-prod):

 ssh root@www-prod.sum sh -c "'cd /var/www/my.personalgenomes.org/current && RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate'"
