ATST

Description

This is the user-facing web application for ATAT.

Installation

System Requirements

ATST uses the Scripts to Rule Them All pattern for setting up and running the project. The scripts are located in the scripts directory and use script fragments in the scriptz repository that are shared across ATAT repositories.

Before running the setup scripts, a couple of dependencies need to be installed locally:

• python == 3.6 Python version 3.6 must be installed on your machine before installing pipenv. You can download Python 3.6 from python.org or use your preferred system package manager.

• pipenv ATST requires pipenv to be installed for python dependency management. pipenv will create the virtual environment that the app requires. See pipenv's documentation for instructions on installing `pipenv.

• postgres >= 9.6 ATST requires a PostgreSQL instance (>= 9.6) for persistence. Have PostgresSQL installed and running on the default port of 5432. You can verify that PostgresSQL is running by executing psql and ensuring that a connection is successfully made.

• redis ATST also requires a Redis instance for session management. Have Redis installed and running on the default port of 6379. You can ensure that Redis is running by executing redis-cli with no options and ensuring a connection is succesfully made.

Cloning

This project contains git submodules. Here is an example clone command that will automatically initialize and update those modules:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:dod-ccpo/atst.git

If you have an existing clone that does not yet contain the submodules, you can set them up with the following command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Setup

This application uses Pipenv to manage Python dependencies and a virtual environment. Instead of the classic requirements.txt file, pipenv uses a Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, making it more similar to other modern package managers like yarn or mix.

To perform the installation, run the setup script:

script/setup

The setup script creates the virtual environment, and then calls script/bootstrap to install all of the Python and Node dependencies.

To enter the virtualenv manually (a la source .venv/bin/activate):

pipenv shell

If you want to automatically load the virtual environment whenever you enter the project directory, take a look at direnv. An .envrc file is included in this repository. direnv will activate and deactivate virtualenvs for you when you enter and leave the directory.

Running (development)

To start the app locally in the foreground and watch for changes:

script/dev_server

To watch for changes to any js/css assets:

yarn watch

After running script/dev_server, the application is available at http://localhost:8000.

Users

There are currently six mock users for development:

• Sam (a CCPO)
• Amanda
• Brandon
• Christina
• Dominick
• Erica

To log in as one of them, navigate to /login-dev?username=<lowercase name>. For example /login-dev?username=amanda.

In development mode, there is a DEV Login button available on the home page that will automatically log you in as Amanda.

Seeding the database

We have a helper script that will seed the database with requests, workspaces and projects for all of the test users:

pipenv run python script/seed_sample.py

Testing

Tests require a test database:

createdb atat_test

To run lint, static analysis, and unit tests:

script/test

To run only the unit tests:

pipenv run python -m pytest

To re-run tests each time a file is changed:

pipenv run ptw

Notes

Jinja templates are like mustache templates -- add the following to ~/.vim/filetype.vim for syntax highlighting:

:au BufRead *.html.to set filetype=mustache

Icons

To render an icon, use

{% import "components/icon.html" %}
{{ Icon("icon-name", classes="css-classes") }}

where icon-name is the filename of an svg in static/icons.

All icons used should be from the Noun Project, specifically this collection if possible.

SVG markup should be cleaned an minified, Svgsus works well.

Deployment

The /login-dev endpoint is protected by HTTP basic auth when deployed. This can be configured for NGINX following the instructions here. The following config should added within the main server block for the site:

location /login-dev {
    auth_basic "Developer Access";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/apache2/.htpasswd;
    [proxy information should follow this]
}

The location block will require the same proxy pass configuration as other location blocks for the app.
