Chrome Platform Status

chromestatus.com

Get the code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chromium-dashboard

Installation

1. Install global CLIs
   1. Google App Engine SDK for Python.
   2. pip, node, npm.
   3. Gulp npm install -g gulp
2. Install npm dependencies npm ci
3. Install other dependencies npm run deps

Add env_vars.yaml

Create a file named env_vars.yaml in the root directory and fill it with:

env_variables:
  DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: 'settings'
  DJANGO_SECRET: 'this-is-a-secret'

Developing

To start the main server and the notifier backend, run:

npm start

To start front end code watching (sass, js lint check, babel, minify files), run

npm run watch

To run lint & lit-analyzer:

npm run lint

To run unit tests:

npm run test

Note: featurelist is temporarily excluded because lit-analyzer throws Maximum call stack size exceeded.

There are some developing information in developer-documentation.md.

Notes

• Locally, the /feature list pulls from prod (https://www.chromestatus.com/features.json). Opening one of the features will 404 because the entry is not actually in the local db. If you want to test local entries, go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ instead of localhost to use local data.

• When installing the GAE SDK, make sure to get the version for python 2.7. It is no longer the default version.

• When running npm start you may get an ImportError for jinja2.tests. This was caused by an over-general line in skip_files.yaml. Pulling the latest source code should resolve the problem.

Blink components

Chromestatus gets the list of Blink components from a separate app running on Firebase. See source.

Seed the blink component owners

Visit http://localhost:8080/admin/blink/populate_blink to see the list of Blink component owners.

Debugging / settings

settings.py contains a list of globals for debugging and running the site locally.

Deploying

If you have uncommited local changes, the appengine version name will end with -tainted. It is OK to test on staging with tainted versions, but everything should be committed (and thus not tainted) before staging a version that can later be pushed to prod.

Note you need to have admin privileges on the cr-status-staging and cr-status cloud projects to be able to deploy the site.

Run the npm target:

npm run staging

Open the Google Developer Console for the staging site and flip to the new version by selecting from the list and clicking MIGRATE TRAFFIC. Make sure to do this for both the 'default' service as well as for the 'notifier' service.

If manual testing on the staging server looks good, then repeat the same steps to deploy to prod:

npm run deploy

Open the Google Developer Console for the production site

The production site should only have versions that match versions on staging.
