hsadminNg Development
This documents gives an overview of the development environment and tools.
For architecture consider the files in the doc
and adr
folder.
Setting up the Development Environment
All instructions assume that you're using a current Linux or MacOS operating system. Everything is tested on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 and MacOS Monterey (12.4).
To be able to build and run the Java Spring Boot application, you need the following tools:
- Docker 20.x (on MacOS you also need Docker Desktop or similar)
- PostgreSQL Server 13.7-bullseye (see instructions below to install and run in Docker)
- Java JDK 17.x
- Gradle in some not too outdated version (7.4 will be installed via wrapper)
You also might need an IDE (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse or VS Code with STS and a GUI Frontend for PostgreSQL like Postbird.
If you have at least Docker, the Java JDK and Gradle installed in appropriate versions and in your PATH
, then you can start like this:
cd your-hsadmin-ng-directory
gradle wrapper # downloads Gradle 7.5 into the project
source .aliases # creates some comforable bash aliases, e.g. 'gw'='./gradlew'
gw test # compiles and runs unit- and integration-tests
pg-sql-run # downloads + runs PostgreSQL in a Docker container on localhost:5432
gw bootRun # compiles and runs the application on localhost:8080
# the following command should reply with "pong":
curl http://localhost:8080/api/ping
# the following command should return a JSON array with just all customers:
curl \
-H 'current-user: mike@hostsharing.net' \
http://localhost:8080/api/customers
# the following command should return a JSON array with just all packages visible for the admin of the customer aab:
curl \
-H 'current-user: mike@hostsharing.net' \
-H 'assumed-roles: customer#aab.admin' \
http://localhost:8080/api/packages
The latter curl
command actually goes through the database server.
ⓘ
If you want a formatted JSON output, you can pipe the result to jq
or similar.
If you still need to install some of these tools, find some hints in the next chapters.
SDKMAN
SdkMan is not necessary, but helpful to install and switch between different versions of SDKs (Software-Development-Kits) and development tools in general, e.g. JDK and Gradle. It is available for Linux and MacOS, WSL, Cygwin, Solaris and FreeBSD.
You can get it from: https://sdkman.io/.
⚠
Yeah, the curl ... | bash
install method looks quite scary;
but in a development environment you're downloading executables all the time,
e.g. through npm
, Maven
or Gradle
when downloading dependencies.
Thus, maybe you should at least use a separate Linux account for development.
Once it's installed, you can install JDK and Gradle:
sdk install java 17.0.3-tem
sdk install gradle
sdk use java 17.0.3-tem # use this to switch between installed JDK versions
PostgreSQL Server
You could use any PostgreSQL Server (from version 13 on) installed on your machine.
You might amend the port and user settings in src/main/resources/application.yml
, though.
But the easiest way to run PostgreSQL is via Docker.
Initially, pull an image compatible to current PostgreSQL version of Hostsharing:
docker pull postgres:13.7-bullseye
⚠ If we switch the version, please also amend the documentation as well as the aliases file. Thanks!
Create and run a container with the given PostgreSQL version:
docker run --name hsadmin-ng-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:13.7-bullseye
# or via alias:
pg-sql-run
To check if the PostgreSQL container is running, the following command should list a container with the name "hsadmin-ng-postgres":
docker container ls
Stop the PostgreSQL container:
docker stop hsadmin-ng-postgres
# or via alias: pg-sql-stop
Start the PostgreSQL container again:
docker container start hsadmin-ng-postgres
# or via alias: pg-sql-start
Remove the PostgreSQL container:
docker rm hsadmin-ng-postgres
# or via alias:
pg-sql-remove
To reset to a clean database, use:
pg-sql-stop; pg-sql-remove; pg-sql-run
# or via alias:
pg-sql-reset
After the PostgreSQL container is removed, you need to create it again as shown in "Create and run ..." above.
Given the container is running, to create a backup in ~/backup, run:
docker exec -i hsadmin-ng-postgres /usr/bin/pg_dump --clean --create -U postgres postgres | gzip -9 > ~/backup/hsadmin-ng-postgres.sql.gz
# or via alias:
pg-sql-backup >~/backup/hsadmin-ng-postgres.sql.gz
Again, given the container is running, to restore the backup from ~/backup, run:
gunzip --stdout --keep ~/backup/hsadmin-ng-postgres.sql.gz | docker exec -i hsadmin-ng-postgres psql -U postgres -d postgres
# or via alias:
pg-sql-restore <~/backup/hsadmin-ng-postgres.sql.gz
Markdown
To generate the TOC (Table of Contents), a little bash script from a Blog Article was used.
To render the Markdown files, especially to watch embedded PlantUML diagrams, you can use one of the following methods:
Render Markdown embedded PlantUML
Can you see the following diagram right in your IDE? I mean a real graphic diagram, not just some markup code.
@startuml
me -> you: Can you see this diagram?
you -> me: Sorry, I don't :-(
me -> you: Install some tooling!
@enduml
If not, you need to install some tooling.
for IntelliJ IDEA (or derived products)
You just need the bundled Markdown plugin enabled and install and activate the PlantUML plugin in its settings:
jetbrains://idea/settings?name=Languages+%26+Frameworks--Markdown
You might also need to install Graphviz on your operating system. For Debian-based Linux systems this might work:
sudo apt install graphviz
Ubuntu Linux command line
sudo apt-get install pandoc texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-extra-utils texlive-latex-extra pandoc-plantuml-filter
pandoc --filter pandoc-plantuml rbac.md -o rbac.pdf
for other IDEs / operating systems
If you have figured out how it works, please add instructions above this section.
Other Tools
jq: a JSON formatter.
On Debian'oid systems you can install it with sudo apt-get install jq
.
On MacOS you can install it with brew install jq
, given you have brew installed.
Running the SQL files
For RBAC
The Schema is automatically created via Liquibase, a database migration library. Currently, also some test data is automatically created.
To increase the amount of test data, increase the number of generated customers in 2022-07-28-051-hs-customer.sql
and run that
If you already have data, e.g. for customers 0..999 (thus with reference numbers 10000..10999) and want to add another 1000 customers, amend the for loop to 1000...1999 and also uncomment and amend the CONTINUE WHEN
or WHERE
conditions in the other test data generators, using the first new customer reference number (in the example that's 11000).
For Historization
The historization is not yet integrated into the Liquibase-scripts. You can explore the prototype as follows:
- start with an empty database (the example tables are currently not compatible with RBAC),
- then run
historization.sql
in the database, - finally run
examples.sql
in the database.
How To
How to Use a Persistent Database for Integration Tests?
Usually, the DataJpaTest
integration tests run against a database in a temporary docker container.
As soon as the test ends, the database is gone; this might make debugging difficult.
Alternatively
If the persistent database and the temporary database show different results, one of these reasons could be the cause:
- You might have some changesets only running in either context,
check the
context: ...
in the changeset control lines. - You might have changes in the database which interfere with the tests,
e.g. from a previous run of tests or manually applied.
It's best to run
pg-sql-reset && gw bootRun
before each test run, to have a clean database.
