LEGO
Open source backend for abakus.no, frontend located at webkom/lego-webapp
LEGO Er Ganske Oppdelt
Getting started
LEGO requires python3.9
, python3.9-venv
, docker
and docker-compose
. Services like Postgres, Redis, Thumbor and Minio run inside docker.
# Initial setup (only need to once)
$ git clone [email protected]:webkom/lego.git && cd lego/
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ echo "from .development import *" > lego/settings/local.py
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
$ docker-compose up -d
$ python manage.py initialize_development
# Activate and run (do every time)
$ docker-compose up -d
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python manage.py runserver
# Note 1: Whenever you switch branches you might need to make minor changes
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt # If the branch has changes in the dependencies
$ python manage.py migrate # If the branch has a database in another state then yours
# Note 2: When you make changes to models, or constants used by models, you need to create new migrations
$ python manage.py makemigrations # Creates one or more new files that must be commited
# Remember to format generated migrations! (using f.ex: make fixme)
If you get problems it can be a solution to delete the
venv
, and do a fresh setup
Code Style
This codebase uses the PEP 8 code style. We enforce this with isort, black & flake8. In addition to the standards outlined in PEP 8, we have a few guidelines (see setup.cfg
for more info):
Format the code with black & isort
$ make fixme
To check if it is formatted properly, run:
$ tox -e isort -e flake8 -e black
To check if code is typed properly, run:
$ tox -e mypy
Tests
If you want to run a specific test class you can run
$ ./manage.py test lego.apps.[APP]
You can add flags to speed up the tests
By adding the
--keepdb
the next time it will go a lot faster to run the tests multiple times.
By adding the
--parallel
will run multiple tests in parallel using multiple cores.
If you want to check your test coverage, you can do the following
# Install the packages needed
$ pip install -r requirements/coverage.txt
# Run a full test run with coverage. This will run all tests in LEGO.
$ coverage run --source=lego ./manage.py test
# Then you can output the full coverage report
$ coverage report
# or a small one that only contains the things you are interested in
$ coverage report | grep [some string]
Deployment
Lego runs in Docker Swarm
and deploys are managed by Drone
and Ansible
.
How to deploy:
- Make sure the changes is pushed to master and the test passes.
- Have you added some new settings in
settings/
? If so make sure theAnsible variables
reflects these changes. - We run migrations automatically, make sure they work!
- Push to the
build
branch. From master:git push origin master:prod
- Wait for the
build
build to complete. The last step will bedocker build
- Go to ci.webkom.dev and use the promote feature to deploy the staging/production build.
Ansible will automatically run the playbook for deploying the new build to staging
or production
based on the target selected in step 6.
Testing with elasticsearch
Testing with elasticsearch
By default, development and production uses postgres for search. We can still enable elasicsearch backend in prod, so you can test things locally with elasticsearch. In order to do so, you need to run elasticsearch from docker-compose.extra.yml
by running docker-compose -f docker-compose.extra.yml up -d
. Then you need to run lego with the env variable SEARCH_BACKEND=elasticsearch
. You might need to run the migrate_search and rebuild_index commands to get elasticsearch up to date.
Debugging
Debugging
If you get an error while installing requirements, you might be missing some dependencies on your system.
$ apt-get install libpq-dev python3-dev
For MACOS you need to
brew install postgresql
If you get an error while running initialize_development mentioning elasticsearch
, you probably need run the following code, and then start over from docker-compose up -d
. Read why and how to make it permanent on Elasticsearch docs.
$ sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
If you get ld: library not found for -lssl
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
When changing the user fixtures one must load new fixtures
./manage.py load_fixtures --generate
