The TL;DR of technical specs is: Rails 4.2.8 (in Ruby 2.6.6), using bower_rails to manage Javascript dependencies, on Postgres database for storage, and with Elasticsearch for search.
Table of Contents
Once you have docker-compose installed, you can spin up a containerized local dev environment by running:
docker-compose up --buildThis will bring up the app at http://localhost:3000 alongside Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Postgres. You can then complete the initial setup by running:
docker-compose exec web bundle exec rake db:setup
docker-compose exec web \
bundle exec rake environment elasticsearch:import:model CLASS=Pin INDEX=development_pins FORCE=yTo stop the environment, run:
docker-compose downAlternatively, you can set up all the services directly on your machine as described in the rest of this section.
For set up, you'll need to make sure you have Elasticsearch installed for search functionality and Postgres installed for the actual database. The database is currently set up to have the user "Alex".
brew install elasticsearch
brew install kibana
# to make sure ES is up
curl localhost:9200
Then you can access the Kibana UI.
Heroku manages our database.yml in production (and staging), so all these instructions are just for local environment.
For Postgres on Mac, you can use postgresapp. On Linux check your distribution details.
Use createuser "Alex" -s in the shell to create the user. (On
Linux,createuser is its own executable, so log onto psql first.) If
permissions seem wrong, run psql and enter ALTER ROLE "ALEX" CREATEDB;
to give it the right permissions.
Now you should be able to run rake db:setup. Make sure to redo this command and for subsequent commands rerun for RAILS_ENV=test, then you can run bundle to install gems, and rspec to run tests.
Some seed data is necessary for the site to work. It is all handled via rake db:seed which is included during rake db:setup. The process in general is a backup and dump of the prod database is made, then a seed_dump from it.
For your ease, rake db:seed will also create a user and an admin. Both will have the password "password". The usernames should output to console.
On Ubuntu, you will likely need to follow these instructions after you've installed headers.
Staging and production both deploy and depend on Heroku. You should grab their cli. These instructions assume you've set it up.
Environment variables are kept in an untracked file (config/application.yml) managed by Figaro. Running heroku config --app transbucket will give you the production env, and heroku config --app transbucket-staging staging's env. When you want to push local changes to Heroku (be VERY careful with this), you use figaro heroku:set -e production.
To run locally, I use rails s -p 3003 (because I am often running servers on other ports). Then navigate to localhost:3003 to browse. You can also just run it without specifiying the port.
If you need to test against an actual S3 instance, you can uncomment the config block in config/environments/development.rb and set the required environment varialbles. (You can grab those with heroku config --app transbucket-staging. Otherwise you'll just store on your local file system.
Currently using CircleCI, which runs the app on Ubuntu 12. If you need to change a setting, try changing it via the UI first, then edit the circle.yml file.
For master branch:
Staging is meant to run in the production environment, as close to actual production as possible. Every successful build on CI (based on every git push you do) will trigger a deployment on staging automatically.
If you need to deploying a branch to staging manually:
git push staging your_branch:master
Connecting to staging to debug or run tasks:
heroku run rails console --app transbucket-staging
For staging and production, assets need to be recompiled. It's wise to clean them first:
rake assets:clean
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
While we remain on Heroku, it will infer this step for us. (You won't need to do it.)
On the Ruby side, rspec, but you also need chromium-chromedriver in
order to run UI integ tests, via Selenium. For example, on Ubuntu you can
run: sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver. If you want to spy on
what's happening during a Selenium run, you can edit
spec/support/capybara_config.rb to switch off _headless.
Spring is installed to speed up Rails loading times; you should see much shorter load times after the first run.
If you need to see some performance stats, use rspec --profile.
To set up (one time only):
rake parallel:setupThen, run tests with:
rake parallel:spec
Or, to run with Spring for faster load times:
export DISABLE_SPRING=0 # needed to force activate spring
spring rake parallel:specBest if you run unicorn rather than usual development server thin:
unicorn -c config/unicorn.rb # this will spawn 3 processes
Then after installing apache_bench (you should be able to do brew install ab) run:
ab -n 100 -c 10 http://0.0.0.0:8080/
rubocop and brakeman are available.
In dev mode, rack-mini-profiler, stackprof and ruby-prof are available.
require 'ruby-prof'
RubyProf.start
# some ruby code you want to profile
result = RubyProf.stop
printer = RubyProf::FlatPrinter.new(result)
printer.print(STDOUT)
# if you need the call stack, try
#printer = RubyProf::CallStackPrinter.new(result)
#printer.print(File.open('tmp/ruby_prof.html', "w")) # i add this to the top of a test file
# say, spec/presenters/pin_presenter_spec.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.around(:each) do |example|
path = Rails.root.join("tmp/stackprof-cpu-test-#{example.full_description.parameterize}.dump")
StackProf.run(mode: :cpu, out: path.to_s) do
example.run
end
end
endThen you can use something like: bundle exec stackprof tmp/stackprof-cpu-test-pinpresenter-filtering-results-returns-pins-scoped-by-procedure.dump to view the dump.
If you need to find a corresponding call, you can use git grep suspicious_call -- '*.rb'.
Fragment, page, and low-level caching are being used despite Heroku's ephemeral file store. Given the site runs on one dyno, and that deploys are infrequent, filestore caching still has some benefit.
Page caching is only used for public areas of the site. For the majority of the site, fragment caching and low-level calls of the form Rails.cache.fetch are being used.
The Pin model has a callback that will update Elasticsearch. But when
you are initially filling the index, you want to run the below command
after you have seeded the database. Essentially Elasticsearch is
a secondary view of our database data. It is safe to delete it and reindex
it.
rake environment elasticsearch:import:model CLASS='Pin' INCLUDE='PinImage,Surgeon,Procedure' FORCE=true
# should show you the index you created, labeled by env
curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices
Via Heroku add-ons we have scheduler. The process is basically add a rake task, and use heroku addons:open scheduler to open the scheduler.
The other option is delayed_job. During deploy, a separate dyno is used to run rake jobs:work which starts the delayed_job process that manages execution of the queue.
I've been using the scheduler to run things like periodic jobs, whereas I use delayed_jobs for stuff like sending an email async. (For an example see app/helpers/notifications_helper.rb.)
- Is there a rake task? Use
rake -Tto check. - Locked yourself out?
User.where(email: 'user_email_address').take.reset_password('new_password','new_password').confirm - Having trouble getting to where an error is raised or want a quick feedback loop? Try pry-rescue by doing
bundle exec rescue rspecorbundle exec rescue rails s. - Not seeing a change you expect? Some fragment caching is being used. If you need to manually clear it, hop into
rails cand then runRails.cache.clear. (You can also justrm -rf tmp.)
