Build

To compile, test and package the system, execute the following from the root of the repository:

mvn

Run

See module-specific documentation below.

Modules

Top level system modules:

Development

Several make targets are provided for locally deploying dependent services using docker. By using this, the developer will be able to replicate a live environment for score-server and score-client. It allows the user to develop locally, and test uploads/downloads in an isolated environment.

There are 2 modes:

1. Development Mode

The purpose of this mode is to decrease the wait time between building and testing against dependent services. This mode will run a mvn package if the *-dist.tar.gz files are missing, and copy them into a container for them to be run. This method allows for fast developement, since the mvn package step is handled on the Docker host. In addition, the debug ports 5005 and 5006 are exposed for both score-client and score-server, respectively, allowing developers to debug the docker containers. This mode can be enabled using the DEMO_MODE=0 override. This is the default behaviour if the variable DEMO_MODE is not defined.

Debugging the score-client with IntelliJ

Since the JVM debug port is exposed by the score-client docker container, IntelliJ can remotely debug a running docker container. To do this, a docker image run profile must be created with the configuration outputted by the make intellij-score-client-config command, which will output a basic upload command, however it can be modified to be any score-client command. Then, a remote debug profile must be created, with the following config:

Host: localhost
Port: 5005
Use module classpath: score-client

and in the Before launch: Activate tool window section, click the + sign, and select Launch docker before debug. Then ensure the Docker configuration field is set to the name of the previously created docker image run profile and that Custom Options is set to -p 5005:5005. In order for the debugger to bind to the debug port in time, a delay needs to be introduced after starting the container. To do this, click the + sign again, and select Launch docker before debug, and select Run External Tool and a window will pop-up. Input the following:

Name:      Sleep for 5 seconds
Program:   /usr/bin/sleep
Arguments: 5

and click OK.

Finally, start debugging by simply running the remote debug profile and it will call the docker image run profile before launch.

Debugging the score-server with IntelliJ

Since the score-server is a server and exposes the 5006 debug port, configuration is much easier. First, start the server with make clean start-score-server. Then, create a remote debug profile in Intellij with the following configuration:

Host: localhost
Port: 5006
Use module classpath: score-server

and then run it in debug mode.

2. Demo Mode

The purpose of this mode is to demo the current score-server and score-client code by building it in inside the Docker image, as opposed to the Docker host as is done in Development mode and then running the containers. This mode will not run mvn package on the Docker host, but instead inside the Docker container. This method is very slow, since maven will download dependencies every time a build is triggered, however creates a completely isolated environment for testing. This mode can be enabled using the DEMO_MODE=1 make variable override. For example, to start the score-server, the following command would be run:

make start-score-server DEMO_MODE=1
