Local Development

This guides is for developers who want to run Zappr on their development machine. In the end you will have three different processes running:

  • Your local PostgreSQL database
  • Your local Zappr application
  • a VPN tunnel (e.g.: localtunnel) exposing your localhost

Before you start you need to register an OAuth application in your GitHub account under Settings/ Developer Settings/ OAuth Apps.
If you need help in registering your application follow these instructions. You will need

  • the Client ID
  • the Client Secret and
  • the Authorization callback URL

from your registered application later.
In case you use localtunnel as your VPN, set the Authorization callback URL in your GitHub settings to https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me.

Database Setup

Zappr needs a database during development and testing. For this reason there's a docker-compose.yaml for your convenience, with which you can either start a database for development (postgres-dev) or testing: (postgres-test).
Since dev and test database share the same port, you should change the port of one of the databases in the docker-compose.yaml.
Example:

  ...
 postgres-dev:
    image: "postgres:9.4"
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    container_name: zappr-postgres-dev
  postgres-test:
    image: "postgres:9.4"
    ports:
      - "5433:5432" # note the different ports in this line
    container_name: zappr-postgres-test
  ...

Or comment out in init_db.sh the database you currently don't need.
Example:

echo "Set up dev database"
docker exec -it zappr-postgres-dev sh -c "exec psql -c 'create database zappr;' -U postgres"
docker exec -it zappr-postgres-dev sh -c "exec psql -c 'create schema zappr_data;' -U postgres zappr"
docker exec -it zappr-postgres-dev sh -c "exec psql -c 'create schema zappr_meta;' -U postgres zappr"

# echo "Set up test database"
# docker exec -it zappr-postgres-test sh -c "exec psql -c 'create database zappr;' -U postgres"
# docker exec -it zappr-postgres-test sh -c "exec psql -c 'create schema zappr_data;' -U postgres zappr"
# docker exec -it zappr-postgres-test sh -c "exec psql -c 'create schema zappr_meta;' -U postgres zappr"

If you need both databases, you can run init_db.sh after you uncommented your changes.

Make sure your docker machine host is running:

 docker-machine start

Start database and schemas:

export DM_IP="$(docker-machine ip)"  

# Starts the postgres docker container for development & test purposes
# run either
docker-compose up postgres-dev
# or
docker-compose up postgres-test

# creates database and schemas, only needed first time
# run database command in additional terminal session
./init_db.sh

To get your docker-machine ip you can also run docker-machine ip in the shell and copy the address.

Zappr Setup

To get your GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET copy it from your Github Settings/ Developer Settings/ OAuth Apps or create them new following these instructions. Export your Github credentials and docker-machine IP:

export DB_HOST="$(docker-machine ip)"
export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

Start Zappr with any of the following alternatives

Bash scripts

There are 3 bash scripts ready for *nix environments to start zappr locally. Make sure, you replace place holders in the bash scripts, with actual values. The place holders are marked with < & >.

You need 3 separate Terminals to start zappr using this approach.

  • In Terminal 1
$ ./run-zappr-local-terminal01.sh

The script starts a docker machine and a developer database. The script is blocking - stop it with CTRL-C.

  • In Terminal 2
$ ./run-zappr-local-terminal02.sh

The script populates database data and runs the starts zappr using NPM. The script is blocking - stop it with CTRL-C.

  • In Terminal 3
$ ./run-zappr-local-terminal03.sh

The script sets up the tunnel using localtunnel.me . The script is blocking - stop it with CTRL-C.

NPM

  • Precondition VPN Setup Install and run localtunnel to expose your localhost in a separate terminal window 
    npm i -g localtunnel
lt -s <your-app-name> -p 3000
    Double check that your Authorization callback URL is set to https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me in the GitHub settings.
npm install
npm run build
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
HOST_ADDR=https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me/
npm run all

# you may omit GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET if exported to regarding shell environment variables earlier

Go to https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me and do things :)

Docker compose

Currently, there is an issue with using just docker-compose. Generally, once you have configured your shell environment with all the necessary GLOBALS described before, you should just run docker-compose up zappr. This will run the zappr application and

export DM_IP=$(docker-machine ip)
docker-compose up zappr

You should be able now to access your local Zappr installation at http://localhost:3000.

You can also set the GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, the GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET and the HOST_ADDR in your config/config.yaml or add it to the package.json script. However we do not advise it since you could end up pushing your ID and Secret to GitHub.

Debug Client and Server:

npm run build
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
HOST_ADDR=https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me/
npm run all

Enable debug logs...

...in the terminal:

export DEBUG="zappr:*"

...in the browser console:

window.DEBUG.enable('zappr:*')

Test:

Note: If you want to run tests with local setup please change the local running port of your test database in docker-compose.yaml.

First start the testing database:

export DB_HOST="$(docker-machine ip)"

# creates database and schemas, only needed first time
./init_db.sh

# start postgres docker container
docker-compose up postgres-test

Then you can do:

  • npm test - run combined tests
  • npm run test-client - run only client tests
  • npm run test-server - run only server tests
  • npm run test-karma - run Karma (UI) tests

Docker Image:

  1. Check out master and clean up your git status

  2. Run the build script:

     ./tools/build.sh (<tag>)
  • NPM_BUILD_INSIDE_CONTAINER "true" to build inside a container
  • DOCKER_ARTIFACT_FILE file to store docker artifact name in

Trouble shooting

No default docker machine

Error:

$ docker-machine start
Error: No machine name(s) specified and no "default" machine exists

Workaround:

# docker-machine create -d "[driver]" [label]
# e.g.
docker-machine create -d "virtualbox" default

For this step to work you need Virtualbox installed. You can download it here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Can't connect to docker daemon

Error:

$ ./init_db.sh
Set up dev database
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
...
Set up test database
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
...

Workaround:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

App crashed immediately after running npm run all

This happened during Hack Week when docker was not configured correctly. This is most likely related to docker configuration.

Error:

[nodemon] restarting due to changes...
[nodemon] starting `node dist/server/server.min.js`
[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

Workaround:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
docker-compuse up postgres-dev

In the CLI tab where you are running the database. docker-compose seems to not configured properly in these cases (happens when you're using Mac OS X with Docker Toolbox).

Container zappr-postgres-dev or zappr-postgres-test missing

Error:

$ ./init_db.sh
...
Error: No such container: zappr-postgres-dev
...
Error: No such container: zappr-postgres-test

Workaround: run one of:

docker-compose up postgres-dev
docker-compose up postgres-test

to create the missing container

Can not start zappr-postgres-dev or zappr-postgres-test service

Error:

$ docker-compose up postgres-dev|test
ERROR: for zappr-postgres-dev  Cannot start service postgres-dev|test: driver failed
...

Workaround: do run either

docker-compose up postgres-dev

or

docker-compose up postgres-test

at the same time in different terminal sessions.

Docker compose up - COPY fails with missing dist directory

Error:

$ docker-compose up
...
Step 9/15 : COPY dist/ $ZAPPR_HOME/dist
ERROR: Service 'zappr' failed to build: COPY failed: stat /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder700929514/dist: no such file or directory

Workaround: run

npm run build

to create a dist directory the Dockerfile is expecting

npm error code ELIFECYCLE

Error:

$ npm start
...
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
...

Workaround: make sure you run the database and zappr in different Terminals e.g.

  • Terminal 1

    $ docker-compose up postgres-dev

    or

    $ ./run-zappr-local-terminal01.sh

  • Terminal 2

    GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> HOST_ADDR=https://<your-app-name>.localtunnel.me/ npm run all

    or

    $ ./run-zappr-local-terminal02.sh
